Obtaining

Blooms are a porous mass of iron and slag resulting from the smelting of Iron Ore in a Bloomery.

Iron Ore
  Hematite   Limonite   Magnetite

The output from a bloomery is a Raw Iron Bloom. The Raw Iron Bloom will have a percentage value of its iron content, where each percent is equal to a single unit of metal (100 units of ore will result in a 100% bloom, enough for a single Wrought Iron ingot). Note: If enough ore wasn't initially added to the bloomery, and it results in a bloom that is less than 100%, it must be refined and then welded with another bloom to make it larger or melted down in a crucible (once refined, as melting a raw bloom results in unknown metal).

Working

Input Work Type Output Notes
  Raw Iron Bloom >= 100% Refine   Refined Iron Bloom Work on at least a Tier 2 anvil.
  • Raw iron blooms that are less than 100% must be refined, and then welded with another refined bloom to make a larger bloom.
  Refined Iron Bloom 200% Split   Refined Iron Bloom 100% x2 Only needed for blooms over 100%. If starting bloom isn't a multiple of 100%, it will split into as many 100% blooms as possible as well as a single bloom with the remaining %. For example: A 360% bloom will split into 3 100% blooms and a single 60% bloom.
  Refined Iron Bloom 100% Hammer   Wrought Iron Ingot
  Refined Iron Bloom <100% x2 Weld   Refined Iron Bloom Weld 2 < 100% refined blooms to make one larger bloom. If the resulting bloom is over 100% it must be split into a 100% bloom and a <100% one. The smaller bloom can be welded with another one following the same process.

Note: Forges and Crucibles cannot get hot enough to melt refined iron blooms without the use of mechanized bellows.
