In-Game Text

"Stroke follow strokes, the sparkling ingot shines,
Flows the red slag, the lengthening bar refines;
Cold waves, immersed, the glowing mass congeal,
And turn to adamant the hissing Steel."

- Erasmus Darwin, 1731 - 1802

The carbonization process has inspired you to further greatness as you reach the pinnacle of the metallurgical sciences! By increasing the heat and coal, you now understand the process of fabricating Blister Steel.

How to Make Blistersteel Bars

  1. Craft up to 2x Blister Coffin icon.png Blister Coffins.
  2. Place your Blister Coffin inside a lit Cementation Furnace icon.png Cementation Furnace.
  3. A Cementation Furnace must be tended and kept lit for 7x days. It is recommended you check at least once each day. Running out Fuel will not ruin your firing but will add to the time it takes. Total time LIT must add up to 168 hours.
  4. After 168 hours the Progress Bar will become filled and your Blister Coffin will become a Fired Blister Coffin icon.png Fired Blister Coffin.
  5. Click on your Fired Blister Coffin to automatically Lift icon.png Lift it. You MUST remove your Blister Coffin within 4x hours of it finishing otherwise your firing will be unsuccessful.
  6. Set your Fired Blister Coffin on the ground.
  7. Once your Fired Blister Coffin has cooled it will change from red to blue. Cooling may take longer than 24 hours during an Everbloom icon.png Everbloom, although Fired Blister Coffins will cool significantly faster during a Coldsnap icon.png Coldsnap
  8. When your Fired Blister Coffin has cooled right-click on it and select "Collect Bars" to collect 4x Blistersteel Bar icon.png Blistersteel Bar if you were successful or 4x Dross icon.png Dross is your were unsuccessful.
