How To Make Hardened Steel In Conan

Ever wanted to swing a sword that practically laughs at your enemies? In Conan Exiles, that dream can become a reality! We're talking about hardened steel, folks. It's tougher, meaner, and makes you feel like a true Hyborian warrior. Let's dive into how you can forge this awesome material.

Getting Started: The Basics

First, you'll need to level up a bit. Reach level 30. Why? Because that's when you unlock the Steelworking feat. You can find it in your knowledge tab. This is your gateway to crafting steel, the stepping stone to hardened steel.

Once you have Steelworking, start crafting steel bars. You'll need iron bars and steelfire for this. Iron is plentiful, found in most rocky areas. Steelfire? That’s a bit trickier, often made using brimstone.

Steelfire: A Fiery Ingredient

Brimstone can usually be found in caves. Look for those sickly green pools. Once you have brimstone, mix it with coal in a cauldron or firebowl. Bam! Steelfire ready for steel creation.

Hardening Your Steel: The Next Level

Now comes the fun part: making hardened steel. Forget what you know about regular steel! You'll need to learn the Hardened Steel feat. It also requires level 30, so you might have unlocked both at the same time.

For this feat, you’ll need a blacksmith's bench. Place the steel bars into the blacksmith's bench. Now, the magic ingredient: black blood. Don't worry, you don’t need to become a vampire. But you do need to find a specific creature.

The Search for Black Blood

Look for spiders or shalebacks. The bigger, the better! Killing them gives you a chance at harvesting black blood. Use a pickaxe, and keep hacking away. Fingers crossed for that sweet black blood.

Sometimes, you might not get black blood. Don't despair! Keep hunting until you get some. You'll get it eventually. It's all part of the Conan Exiles experience.

The Final Step: Forging Hardened Steel

Got your steel bars and black blood? Great! Throw them into the blacksmith's bench. Wait a little bit, and *poof*, hardened steel bars. Feel the power coursing through your veins! You are one step closer to becoming a Conan-level legend!

Now you can craft epic weapons and armor. Imagine your enemies cowering before your might. All thanks to your hard work and dedication to forging the ultimate steel. It’s incredibly satisfying.

Using hardened steel, you can craft better versions of known weapons. Hardened Steel Sword or Hardened Steel Pick for example. These are the weapons that can help you to tackle harder content.

Crafting in Conan Exiles is more than just clicking buttons. It's an adventure. It's about exploring the world, hunting for resources, and mastering the art of survival. So grab your pickaxe, sharpen your sword, and get ready to forge some hardened steel!

So what are you waiting for? Go out there and conquer Hyboria, one hardened steel weapon at a time!
