Specifically for improving finds of black pearls, piracy first level skill will randomly produce random gems - including the black pearl.Ĭlockwork Knight deserves an additional mention of its own. All of these Lucky Find skills can also produce varying qualities of weapons (For example, Luckiest Find can produce a steel sword - rather than needing 3x steel ingots to make it). Luckiest Find can produce more steel ingots. Luckier Find can produce coal and black pearls. Lucky find can produce a steel ingot straight up - poof there it is. The perception skill is a bonanza when it comes to finding crafting materials. Coal just has to be found.įinding the these materials can be improved with other skills. Chalk can be obtained by grinding up black pearls. The key question then is finding the ingredients. I will assume that you have smithing at this point if you are trying to make high tier items (trying to make them without the crafting skills would be challenging). See the Dredmor Wiki on smelting for a bit more confirmation on this. While many sources seem to show that this is a tinkering based skill, it is the max of either tinkering or smithing (so that tinker only and smith only both get two ingots while those who don't take either only get one). You get two of an ingot when smelting and you have any skill in tinkering or smithing. There are a few options and considerations. Sometimes you'll find these ingredients in crafting vending machines as well, or in the shop, so it pays to keep an eye out for these. Combine this with the Piracy skill's ability to make enemies drop gems occasionally, and you should be up to your ears in chalk in no time.Ĭoal is a random drop, but it's also crazy common.įinally, you can sometimes find Steel ingots randomly in the dungeon - there is one particular room that looks like a blacksmith's workshop that is almost guaranteed to contain at least 2 or 3 (sadly, random) ingots, along with other blacksmith/tinkerer crafting items. (Do note that Iron is also used to make Rust, which is an ingredient in certain useful potions.)Ĭhalk is fairly common, but can also be found by grinding Black Pearls. I had a stack of probably 50 Iron by the time I faced Dredmor. Hematite and Iron are both fairly common. Again, this is doubled if your Tinkering (or Smithing) level is at least one. Iron ingots are pretty common, and don't forget that you can make them by pressing Hematite ore. Note that if your Tinkering (or Smithing) level is at least 1, this recipe produces 2 ingots for every 1 set of reagents, making Tinkering a very profitable skill tree to have if you need to produce Steel. You can craft steel ingots with Iron, Chalk, and Coal in an Ingot Press.
