== Description ==
A '''steel lump'''A heavy is a [[metal]] lump created through [[metallurgy]] by combining glowing hot [[charcoal]] with an [[iron lump of dark ]]. Tools made from steeltake 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron versions.''
== Creation ==
#Heat 0.6kg of [[iron lump]] and 0.5kg of [[charcoal]] till glowing hot
#Activate iron lump
#Right-click piece of charcoal
#Select Create -> Lump
=== Tools Required ===
* A [[campfire]], preferably a [[forge]].
== Notes ==* A success will result in minimum of 0.4kg 20 kg of steel per 0both [[charcoal]] and [[iron lump]] is needed for creation.6kg * 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 of steel. It will use as much material as possible in the 0.6kg 20 kg of iron to , resulting in 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.
* The quality of the iron lump caps the quality of the steel lump.
* Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
* As of Any [http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2011#111110_Successful_Epic_debugging this patch[enchantments], steel items now take reduced damage on use. Steel pickaxes take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron pickaxes. Tested 7/11/2012 ] should be cast 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 reductioncharcoal.
