Uses[]
Silver is primarily used as a currency in the world of Azeroth. Both the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor value its worth and do trade with coins minted from silver.
Due to its malleable nature, silver is often made into jewelry or plated onto objects to make them more valuable. It is not uncommon for wealthy households to eat with utensils and dishes made from solid or plated silver.
Engineers have recently found other uses for silver as a conductor of electricity and reactant to other materials.
Silver may be an effective metal for slaying monsters, as it has been employed in weapons designed for this express purpose. The Order of Embers also uses silver to disrupt Drust magic.
