Description
A sturdy iron ribbon, used to strengthen constructions like chests and barrels.
An iron ribbon is primarily used to make fine carpentry items like large barrels, large chests and huge tubs or carpentry items like storage bins, but are also used in support beams and crows nest.
Tips
An iron ribbon is a component never used for improving anything. As such, it is a common practice to mostly use the low quality iron resulting from re-smelting iron scraps or from poor quality iron ore. The finished item that the ribbon was used for can always be improved later on. (The same practice is commonly used when making nails.)
However, it may be wise to have at least a few of ribbons of higher quality available, as some items require them in the first phase of construction, and thus will be lost if failing. A higher quality ribbon will give a better chances of success when creating an item, whereas continuing an unfinished item will only damage the ribbon slightly if failing.
