Obtaining

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

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 100% represents enough iron for a single Wrought Iron ingot.

Working

WARNING: When bringing a Raw Iron Bloom up to working temperature, be careful not to let it melt or the Bloom will be lost.

Input	Work Type	Output	Notes
Raw Iron Bloom	Hammer	Refined Iron Bloom	Requires at least a Tier 2 Anvil.
Refined Iron Bloom 200%	Hammer	Refined Iron Bloom 100% x2	For Blooms greater than 100%. If less than 200%, it will split into a 100% Bloom and a Bloom with the remaining %.
Refined Iron Bloom 100%	Hammer	Wrought Iron Ingot
Refined Iron Bloom	Melt	Unshaped Wrought Iron	Melt Refined Blooms in the forge with a ceramic mold, or in the crucible. Melting Refined Blooms less than 100% in the forge will give a partial unshaped ingot. WARNING: Melting a refined iron bloom greater than 100% in the forge will result in only 1 unshaped ingot. Any excess metal will be lost.
