A '''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 of [http://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wurm_Server_Release_History#111110_Successful_Epic_debugging this patch], steel items now take reduced damage on use. Recorded tests suggest 20-30% damage reduction. [http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=66260.0 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.

* A minimum of 0.20 kg of both [[charcoal]] and [[iron lump]] is needed for creation.
 
+
* Regardless of how large either material is, only 0.20 kg of each is used on a successful attempt.
== Notes ==
+
* A successful attempt consumes 0.20 kg of charcoal and 0.20 kg of iron, resulting in a 0.40 kg steel lump.
* A success will result in 0.4kg of steel per 1.0kg of iron and 0.5kg of coal.
+
* A failed attempt decreases both the charcoal and iron lump weight by 0.04 kg.
* Using larger pieces of iron and coal will result in larger pieces of steel. It will use as much material as possible in the 1.0kg iron to 0.5kg coal ratio. You may get less high QL pieces but the average QL will be similar to creating small steel pieces.

* The [[quality]] of the charcoal affects the success chance and the likelihood that the steel lump will be high quality.
* A failed attempt decreases both the charcoal and the iron lumps weight by .04kg.
 
* 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.

Description

A steel lump is a metal lump created through metallurgy by combining glowing hot charcoal with an iron lump.

Tools made from steel take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron versions.

Creation

  • A minimum of 0.20 kg of both charcoal and iron lump is needed for creation.
  • Regardless of how large either material is, only 0.20 kg of each is used on a successful attempt.
  • A successful attempt consumes 0.20 kg of charcoal and 0.20 kg of iron, resulting in a 0.40 kg steel lump.
  • A failed attempt decreases both the charcoal and iron lump weight by 0.04 kg.
  • The quality of the charcoal affects the success chance and the likelihood that the steel lump will be high quality.
  • The quality of the iron lump caps the quality of the steel lump.
  • Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
  • Any enchantments should be cast on the charcoal.
