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.== Description ==
As of A '''steel lump''' is a [[metal]] lump created through [[metallurgy]] by combining glowing hot [[http://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wurm_Server_Release_History#111110_Successful_Epic_debugging this patchcharcoal], steel items now take reduced damage on use. Recorded tests suggest 20-30% damage reduction. ] with an [[http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=66260.0 This forum threadiron lump]] outlines some player tests and the results so far.
As with other metals, using Tools made from steel to create items means you need to take 20% less damage from use steel lumps to improve those items. == Notes ==* The iron can be combined into one lump as only the amount required is used.<s>* Iron lumps of 1kg or more, but less than 2kg result in 0.8kg steel lumps while larger similar quality iron lumps will result in only 0.4kg steel lumpsversions.<s></s>
<s>* A failed attempt consumes the charcoal and transforms 0.4kg of iron into a new lump with 10% of the original QL.</s>
* A failed attempt now result in both the charcoal and the iron lumps weight being decreased by .04kg.
Moved examine text into the item box, added Description and Creation sections, cleaned up wording, and improved formatting.

== 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 as well as and the likelihood that the steel 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.
* Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
* Any [[enchantments]] should be cast on the charcoal.
