Place all 7 cauldrons in one forge.
 
Cauldron #1 - 100 coal
 
Cauldron #2 - 100 iron
 
Use the remaining cauldrons to sort your steel lumps - ie: 1-10ql 11-20ql etc.. (This just makes it easier when your trying to imp and keeps things nice and tidy
 
 
 
now your ready to start, make 100 steel plate gauntlets (cool and reuse your scrap from failers).
 
Imp all the gauntlets to 5 - then 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - and finally 50. At about 35-40 skill start spamming 20-30 great helms as well - these can fit in the forge with the cauldrons.
 
 
 
Use your lowest ql steel for the creation of items, the success rate is greatly reduced but you can cool the scrap and reuse it over and over (placing glowing lumps in a cold cauldron in an unlit forge insta-cools the scrap). Steel being extremely difficult to create this an effective way to use every bit of it.

Titles

  • Platesmith at 50 skill
  • Renowned Platesmith at 70 skill
  • Master Platesmith at 90 skill

Tips

  • For information about making steel, see the Metallurgy page.
  • Use your lowest quality steel for the creation of items. The success rate is greatly reduced but you can cool the scrap and reuse it over and over.
  • You can sort your steel lumps either by using containers or by using the "sort by quality" button on the forge's inventory menu. Using a lump more than about 10 quality higher than what you are improving can be wasteful. However using a lump only a few quality higher than the target lowers the chance to succeed, especially at higher qualities.
  • For efficient grinding, Gauntlets use the least amount of steel to make or improve. Great Helms use more steel but are far more useful and easier to sell or trade.
