The Steel Piece is a small cut bit of steel. It is the smallest steel stock in Blacksmithing.
Pieces go into small forge jobs and spiked weapons. Forge Nails From Piece makes two Nails, and Forge Key Ring makes a Key Ring - Forged. Forge Buckle and Forge Mace Head use them too. The spiked weapons Make Spiked Club, Make Spiked Baseball Bat, Make Spiked Cudgel and Make Jawbone Morningstar all take them as spikes.
Pieces are sawn from chunks, bar quarters or scrap. They are also a fairly common find in workshops and factories. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Forge Nails From Piece turns one piece into two Nails at a Primitive Forge or better. It needs a smithing hammer, tongs or pliers, and a heading tool, all kept. It needs Blacksmithing level 1.
