Steel Bar Location and Uses - Conan Exiles - Materials - Resources | Conan Exiles

Steel Bars are a resource that you will be using a lot when making mid-range weapons, buildings, and armor. As this is a resource you will be using to move your items up to the next level of sturdiness and strength, you will need to acquire a lot of Steel Bars. This is easier said than done in the early hours of the game, as just making Steel Bars takes four different ingredients and three different crafting benches.

Steel Bars are made from a slightly complex crafting process.

How to Make Steel Bars in Conan Exiles¶

Steel Bars are made by using Steelfire and Iron Bars in the Furnace. The tricky part is that you first must make Steelfire, which requires x1 Brimstone and x1 Tar to be placed in the Firebowl Cauldron. Brimstone mostly spawns in caves, and Tar is a byproduct from using the Tannery to make Hide. You will need one Steelfire and five Iron Bars to make a single Steel Bar. For the most part, this process will be slow until you are strong enough to collect a large amount of Ironstone and can quickly produce Tar. This will likely require you to build a Fluid Press.

What Are Steel Bars Used for in Conan Exiles?¶

Steel Bars are a versatile resource that is used to make a long list of items. Every weapon, shield, and tool has a steel version for you to make. It’s also part of several armor sets like the Aesir set, Aquilonian set, Vanir set, and the Intricate Spite set.
