A steel lump is the result from combining a 2:1 ratio of iron lump and a glowing hot piece of charcoal to harden the metal. That means for 0.50kg of charcoal you need about 1.00kg of iron lump.
Using steel to create items that can be created with other materials has no effect other than what type of metal you need to improve it.
Notes
- The iron can be combined into one lump as only the amount required is used.
- Iron lumps of 1kg or more, but less than 2kg result in 0.8kg steel lumps while larger iron lumps will result in only 0.4kg steel lumps.
- The quality of the charcoal affects the success chance as well as the likelihood the 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.
- A failed attempt uses up the charcoal and 0.4kg of iron, and results in a 0.4kg iron scrap.
- Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
