== Description ==
=== Tools required ===:* A '''steel lump''' is a [[campfiremetal]], preferably a lump created through [[metallurgy]] by combining glowing hot [[charcoal]] with an [[forgeiron lump]] .
=== Items required ===:* [[Iron lump]]:* [[Charcoal]]Tools made from steel take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron versions.
==Creation = Notes ===:* [[Steel lump]] is an alloy of [[iron lump]] and [[charcoal]]. :* Heat 1kg of [[iron lump]] and 0.5kg of [[charcoal]] till glowing hot.:* Steel is mainly used to make [[:Category:Plate armour|plate armour]], but you can also use it to make [[bowl]]s, [[rivets]] and [[armour chains]]. It is also used to make [[steel and flint]].:* The quality of the charcoal determines the success% chance of making steel, while the quality of the [[iron lump]] determines the maximum quality of the finished steel lump. It would be wise to not risk wasting high quality iron on poor charcoal unless you have a lot of it.<br>
* 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 and the likelihood that the steel lump will be high quality.
* 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.
== Usage ==
* See [[:Category:Steel products|steel products]] for items made specifically from steel.
* See [[:Category:Any-metal_products|any-metal products]] for more items that can be made from steel.
* Steel has some [[Metal lumps#Table of properties|special properties]], especially when compared to [[iron]].
