Scrap Steel
How to Get Scrap Steel
Best bulk farm for Scrap Steel: press F on Sword Racks in Dermak Undercity — each rack yields a mixed drop of Scrap Iron and Scrap Steel, making it the community-staple dual-farm route. Fort Curlail siege loops hit iron, brass, and steel weapon racks along walls and in rooms together; relogging the siege resets rack spawns for repeated farming. **Hotfix 13 (Jul 23):** weapon racks now **always drop resources** — respawn frequency slightly reduced per official notes. Collector Crates on Midrath routes and Squawker containers in dungeon areas fill gaps between rack respawns. Polearm Racks are a secondary source but skew heavily toward Scrap Brass rather than steel. The community catalog travelling merchant sells Scrap Steel for 150 Dracs (qty 1) when stocked — emergency buy for a few units short of a craft, not a bulk source. The Undercity Sword Rack loop remains the most efficient route for the quantities needed in mid-tier weapon and armour crafting.
