Wrought iron, in bar form, can be used to produce a variety of medium-grade metal goods.

How to Acquire

Place up to 9 bars of Cast Iron into the Finery Forge and fuel it with 2 charcoals. After a few minutes, each of the cast iron left inside has a 50% chance of turning into either a bloom or slag.

At an anvil with a smithy's hammer equipped, one unit of bloom can be converted into a bar of wrought iron with a one-in-three chance. If the bloom does not become a Bar of Wrought Iron, it instead becomes a bar of cast iron.

For a character without specific skills, this means that the inputs to a finery forge can become the following with the stated chances:

1. 1-in-2 chance of becoming slag (50%).
2. 1-in-3 chance of becoming cast iron (33.3%).
3. 1-in-6 chance of becoming wrought iron (16.7%).

This is after one iteration. Cast iron created this way can be used in the finery forge again with identical chances as in the first iteration.

Quality

Bar of Wrought Iron Quality = ${\frac {_{q}Bloom*3+_{q}Anvil+_{q}Smithy'sHammer}{5}}$

Notes

• Chances improve with specific skills, Steelmaking, Metallurgy, and Deep Artifice
