How to Get Steel Tools

Craft Steel Tools at a Workshop

Steel Tools can only be crafted if a settlement has a Tier 3 Workshop and if the player is at Engineering Level 50. If the requirements are met, bring your resources to the Workshop to make your own set of Steel Tools.

Tool	Req. Materials	Req. Skill Level & Station
Steel Mining Pickaxe	・ Steel Ingot x13 ・ Timber x3 ・ Coarse Leather x2	Engineering Lv. 50 Workshop Tier 3
Steel Harvesting Sickle	・ Steel Ingot x8 ・ Timber x2 ・ Coarse Leather x1	Engineering Lv. 50 Workshop Tier 3
Steel Logging Axe	・ Steel Ingot x13 ・ Timber x3 ・ Coarse Leather x2	Engineering Lv. 50 Workshop Tier 3
Steel Skinning Knife	・ Steel Ingot x8 ・ Timber x2 ・ Coarse Leather x1	Engineering Lv. 50 Workshop Tier 3
Aged Wood Fishing Pole	・ Lumber x13 ・ Coarse Leather x3 ・ Linen x2	Engineering Lv. 50 Workshop Tier 3

Collect Flux Material to Smelt Steel Ingots

Steel Ingots will need to be smelted using the recipe below. Head to points of interest on the map and collect Sand Flux from supply caches and chests as this is the hardest to collect out of the three.

Refined Materials	Req. Resources	Req. Skill Level/Station
Steel Ingot	・ Iron Ingot x3 ・ Charcoal x2 ・ Flux x1	Smelting Lv. 20 Smelter Tier 3

Note: You can use any type of flux material when smelting steel ingots. However, it would be a waste to use high-tier flux material for only Tier 3 Steel.

Buy Steel Tools from the Trading Post

Players with low crafting levels can instead opt to buy a set of Steel Tools from a settlement's Trading Post. Browse through the available listings and purchase tools that are appropriate for your level and budget.
