Conan Exiles Steel Bar Recipe and How To Use Steel

Renowned for its robustness and durability, steel is a vital commodity for its importance regarding armor, tools, and weapons. This valuable resource can be slightly harder to attain as they’re not farmed nor mined; instead, it can be crafted, granted you have the necessary materials.

Therefore, it’s important for players looking to amass enough steel to produce armor, tools, and weapons to acquire it as soon as possible. This guide details everything about steel, including how to make Steel Bars and use them in Conan Exiles.

How To Make Steel Bars In Conan Exiles

Steel is a widely used material available in Conan Exiles, as it can be used in multiple applications centered around crafting. From crafting reinforcement structures to armor and weapons, players must strongly consider mining this resource early in their gameplay campaign.

Acquiring steel can only be achieved by crafting steel bars which then can be used in crafting, but it does mean having to farm or mine for the resources needed. Steel bars can be crafted using Iron Bars and another essential mineral, Steelfire, which can be made using Tar and Brimstone placed in a Firebowl Cauldron.

Together with the Steelfire and Iron Bars, these materials can be placed inside a Charcoal Kiln or any furnace to gain Steel Bars. Another way of crafting Steel Bars is by dismantling Steel Reinforcements, which two reinforcement pieces can make one Steel Bar using the Blacksmith’s Bench.

Don’t forget; you can make a higher-grade variant of Steel Bars which you need Black Ice that can be mined in areas surrounding the Temple of Frost. Using Black Ice and Steel Bars will produce Hardened Steel which can be used in various applications.

Now that you’ve crafted and stockpiled Steer Bars within your Inventory, this can be utilized in many ways, particularly for crafting. It can produce multiple steel-infused weapon sets, specifically, weapons from the Ancient and Steel sets like axes, daggers, Greatswords, maces, and truncheons.

It can also be utilized in crafting various farming tools like the standard pickaxe, Steel Sickle, and Golden Pick, which requires Gold Bars to make. Likewise, it’s also utilized in producing the heads of three types of arrows, namely the Ivory, Razor, and Steel Arrows.

However, Steel Bars are most valuable when producing various equipment upgrade kits that can repair and restore your armor and weapons. These kits include the Armor Flexibility Kit, which lowers Stamina consumption when climbing; the Tool Upgrade Kit, which increases resources gained for each swing; and the Weapon Damage Kit, which increases damage dealt while decreasing its durability.
