A '== Description ==''A heavy lump of dark steel lump'.'' is the result from combining a 2:1 ratio of [[iron lump]] and a [[temperature|glowing hot]] piece of [[charcoal]] to harden the metal. That means for 0.50kg of charcoal you need about 1.00kg of iron lump.
As == Creation ==#Heat 1kg of [http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2011#111110_Successful_Epic_debugging this patch[iron lump]], steel items now take reduced damage on use. Steel pickaxes take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron pickaxes. Tested 7/11/2012 on Celebration server using QL 1 steel and iron pickaxes. The 5kg of [[charcoal]] till glowing hot#Activate iron pickaxe took 0.15 damage every 5 seconds while the steel pickaxe took 0.12 damage. Thus 0.12/0.15 lump#Right-click piece of charcoal#Select Create -> Lump === Tools Required === .80 for * A [[campfire]], preferably a 20% damage reduction[[forge]].
As with other metals, using steel to create items means you need to use steel lumps to improve those items.
== Notes ==
* A success will result in 0.4kg of steel per 1.0kg of iron and 0.5kg of coal.
* The quality of the iron lump caps the quality of the steel lump.
* Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
