How to get steel in Conan Exiles :

Steel is not a material you can find naturally in the game environment. No, to obtain steel you will have to obtain steelfires that can be obtained with tar and brimstone.

The only way to get tar is to use the tannery, it is one of the game workshops that you will unlock in your character’s skill menu. To make tar with tannery, you just have to transform the hides / skins you collect on creatures / animals / humans in order to transform them into leather. Each time you turn a skin into hide / leather, then the tannery will generate tar at the same time.

To collect brimstone, you have to go to certain parts of the world map. We recommend the desert to the west which is one of the areas richest in brimstone. For more information on the exact location, see this page : Guide Conan Exiles how to get brimstone (where to find it on the map).

Once you have obtained tar and brimstone, use the game’s crafting system to create the firebowl cauldron where you will place your tar and brimstone to make steelfire.

You need 1 piece of brimstone, 2 tars and fuel (wood, coal or branch) to make 1 steelfire.
