=== Tools Required ===* A '''steel lump''' is a [[metal]] lump created through [[campfiremetallurgy]], preferably a by combining glowing hot [[charcoal]] with an [[forgeiron lump]].

Tools made from steel take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron versions. == Notes Creation == * A minimum of 0.20kg for 20 kg of both [[charcoal]] and [[iron and coal lump]] is needed for creation. For both materials, regardless * Regardless of how large a bundle either material is , only 0.20kg 20 kg of each is usedon a successful attempt.* A success successful attempt consumes 0.20kg iron, 20 kg of charcoal and 0.20kg 20 kg of coal and results iron, resulting in a 0.40kg 40 kg steel lump.* 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.

* 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 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 reduction.* Enchantments should be cast on tools made of steel will decrease slower as it is connected to the damage taken by the toolcharcoal. (Steel tools take less damage than iron tools)
