Reclaiming Metal from Battle Relics

Conquering sunken sanctuaries and fiery underworld dungeons yields large stockpiles of worn monster weaponry.

Defeated subterranean guards frequently drop heavy weapons like the curved Khopesh across dusty stone chambers.
Fallen boss minions leave behind discarded battle tools such as the sturdy Black Steel Axe and long Ancient Spear.
Instead of discarding broken loot, resourceful blacksmiths can recycle every recovered weapon into valuable raw metallurgy.
Setting up an industrial recycling station near dungeon entrances saves precious inventory space during prolonged raids.
Sort your recovered armaments carefully into specialized blast furnaces to reclaim high-tier metallic alloys.
Systematically stockpiling worn weapons creates an abundant reservoir of precious materials for high-tier forging projects.

Standard smelting ovens lack sufficient thermal energy to melt down ancient resilient alloys efficiently.

Feeding a recovered Khopesh into a blast furnace quickly yields a purified Ancient Metal Nugget.
Similarly, blasting a heavy Black Steel Axe reduces the bulky weapon into a refined Black Steel Nugget.
Collecting nine nuggets of the same type allows smiths to assemble a complete Ancient Metal Ingot.
In the same manner, compacting nine steel fragments yields an authentic, unbreakable Black Steel Ingot.
Blasting operates at twice the speed of ordinary camp furnaces, allowing large armory collections to melt down rapidly.
Automating furnace fuel delivery with hoppers ensures uninterrupted melting when processing dozen of scavenged weapons.

Reclaimed ingots serve as the vital foundation for crafting some of the most devastating weapons in the realm.

Smiths can fashion a balanced Black Steel Sword, heavy Black Steel Pickaxe, or excavating Black Steel Shovel.
Farming subterranean crops or clearing thick cobwebs is streamlined with an everlasting Black Steel Hoe.
For superior offhand defense, forging an impenetrable Black Steel Targe deflects devastating boss attacks and explosive shocks.
Advanced metalworkers can melt components within an Infernal Forge to fuse ancient relics into legendary warhammers.
Systematically recycling dungeon spoils ensures your weapon armory remains perpetually stocked with top-tier metals.
Equipping full black steel armaments turns your adventurer into an unstoppable force capable of confronting monumental titans.
