Skill and improvement




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.

Notes

  • The quality of the charcoal affects the success chance.
  • The quality of the iron lump affects the quality of the steel lump.
  • Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.
  • It would be wise to not risk wasting high quality iron on poor charcoal unless you have a lot of it.
