As of A '''steel lump''' is a [[metal]] lump created through [[metallurgy]] by combining glowing hot [[http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2011#111110_Successful_Epic_debugging this patchcharcoal]], steel items now take reduced damage on use. Steel pickaxes take 20% less damage from use than similar quality with an [[iron pickaxes. Tested 7/11/2012 on Celebration server using QL 1 steel and iron pickaxes. The iron pickaxe took 0.15 damage every 5 seconds while the steel pickaxe took 0.12 damage. Thus 0.12/0.15 = .80 for a 20% damage reductionlump]].

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 itemsthan similar quality iron versions. == Notes Creation == * 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.
