Another part of the resources a player has to mine and craft in the popular survival game Conan Exiles is hardened steel. Walk yourself through this guide—how to create hardened steel in the game of Conan Exiles, step by step.
Anyway, don’t forget to set up your
Conan Exiles server. Continue reading when you’ve already done that!
Step 1: Collect the Required Resources
You need to gather a few necessary materials before you can start making hardened steel. These sources consist of:
- Brimstone: A high-sulfur material found in specific places. Brimstone can be used for the collection of yellow rock nodes or dropped by enemies on death.
- Black Ice: This is one of the essential resources of the Frozen North biome. To collect it, search for ice nodes or some beasts that drop it.
- Steel Bars: First of all, you will need steel bars to craft hardened steel. The furnace part includes the transformation of the iron bars to steel bars. Make sure to have enough iron bars before you proceed.
Step 2: Set Up the Crafting Stations
You must have the proper crafting stations set up in order to effectively craft hardened steel. It is necessary to have the following crafting stations:
- The importance of furnace: Makes the hardened steel, by smelting iron bars in a furnace. Make sure your furnace is on and working.
- Cauldron: A cauldron is necessary for the production of steelfire, necessary for the production of steelhardened stuff. Joining up tar and brimstone are done in this facility, in order to obtain the substance.
- Fluid Press: From the fluid press, extract the tar from bark. Later, during making of steelfire in the cauldron, you will require this tar.
- Tannery: It's a place where the hides are turned into thick leather that can be applied in numerous crafting processes. So, check whether your tannery is prepared for use in that process.
Step 3: Create Steelfire
A very crucial step in making harden steel is the steelfire. Use these steps in making the steelfire:
- Throw the bark in the fluid press so that the extraction process may start. The next step will need the tar that the press will extract from the bark.
- The cauldron needs to be filled halfway with brimstone, and then the tar is to be added afterward for extraction. This will result in a mixture that can yield steelfire, a critical ingredient in the creation of hardened steel.
Step 4: Create Hardened Steel Bars
All required materials and crafting stations are now accessible to the player, so it's time to create hardened steel bars. Take the following steps to create it:
- Pack the furnace full of black ice, along with bars of steel. The steel bars will serve as the foundation material, and the black ice will add strength and durability to hardened steel.
- Light the flame in the furnace then continue with the waiting until the process of smelting comes to a stop. The bars of steel and black ice might also take some time to change into hardened bars of steel.
- Once the entire smelting process is done, simply withdraw the hardened steel bars from the furnace. Congratulations! You've just made some hardened steel.
Step 5: Use Hardened Steel Bars
Now you have hardened steel bars in your hands and you can make something strong and fancy, as well as armor, tools, and weapons. So, hardened steel equipment is more resistant and high-quality in work, which is useful for your trips.
No, brimstone does not have unique spawning points in Conan Exiles, no matter if it looks like black ice. Brimstone is usually found in sulphur-rich areas, near volcanic places, or even in a sulphur environment. One can either harvest yellow rock nodes for brimstone or simply loot brimstone from some enemies.
Black ice, meanwhile, is found in the Frozen North. Black ice is harvested from certain ice nodes, as well as a drop from some animals.
The second among the key ingredients is steelfire, which not only can serve as a replacement for wood in the manufacture but also is necessary. The formula for making steelfire would then be to mix brimstone and extracted tar from the fluid press in a cauldron. This combination forms steelfire in the smelting process for hardened steel bars.
You just have to place the bark into the fluid press and start the extraction process to get the tar from the same. Eventually, the fluid press will take the tar out from the bark and, in turn, you can pick that from the output slot. When combined with steelfire in the cauldron, this tar creates steelfire.
No, really, you've got to make hardened steel bars out of steel bars. The process of smelting iron bars in a furnace gives steel bars. Iron bars and steel bars, the foundation materials for the material hardened steel, come from the same source.
Conclusion
In summary, making hardened steel in Conan Exiles requires the gathering of certain materials, appropriate crafting platforms, creating steelfire, as well as smelting steel bars in black ice. This manual gave the skills that one needed to be able to craft strong, long-lasting steel gear that would multiply your chances of survival in the universe of Conan Exiles.
