Craft Steel Tools at a Workshop

New World - Windsward Workshop Tier 3

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.

Collect Flux Material to Smelt Steel Ingots

New World - Collect Flux Material

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 IconSteel Ingot
・Iron Ingot Icon Iron Ingot x3
・Charcoal Icon Charcoal x2
・Flux Icon 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.
