== Description == A '''steel lump''' is the result from combining a 2:1 ratio of [[iron lumpmetal]] and a lump created through [[temperature|metallurgy]] by combining glowing hot[[charcoal]] piece of with an [[charcoaliron lump]] to harden the metal. That means for 0.50kg of charcoal you need about 1.00kg of  Tools made from steel take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron lumpversions.

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.Creation ==

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 minimum of 0.4kg 20 kg of steel per 1both [[charcoal]] and [[iron lump]] is needed for creation.0kg * Regardless of iron and how large either material is, only 0.5kg 20 kg of coaleach is used on a successful attempt.* Using larger pieces A successful attempt consumes 0.20 kg of iron charcoal and coal will result in larger pieces 0.20 kg of steel. It will use as much material as possible iron, resulting in the 1.0kg iron to a 0.5kg coal ratio. You may get less high QL pieces but the average QL will be similar to creating small 40 kg steel pieceslump.* A failed attempt decreases both the charcoal and the iron lumps lump weight by 0.04kg04 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.
