Properties




A steel lump is the result from combining a 2:1 ratio of iron lump and a 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 of this patch, steel items now take reduced damage on use. Recorded tests suggest 20-30% damage reduction. This forum thread outlines some player tests and the results so far.

As with other metals, using steel to create items means you need to use steel lumps to improve those items.

Notes

  • The iron can be combined into one lump as only the amount required is used.

* Iron lumps of 1kg or more, but less than 2kg result in 0.8kg steel lumps while larger iron lumps will result in only 0.4kg steel lumps.

  • The size of the iron lump does not matter when using on individual charcoals, a success will always be .4kg of steel.
  • The quality of the charcoal affects the success chance as well as the likelihood the lump will be high quality. It would be wise to not risk wasting high quality iron on poor charcoal unless you have a lot of it.
  • The quality of the iron lump caps the quality of the steel lump.

* A failed attempt consumes the charcoal and transforms 0.4kg of iron into a new lump with 10% of the original QL.

  • A failed attempt now result in both the charcoal and the iron lumps weight being decreased by .04kg.
  • Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
