Blister steel in itself is not yet workable steel, instead it behaves similar to iron blooms, and further refining is necessary. To turn blister steel into steel, it needs to be processed on an iron [[anvil]] either by hand or with the help of a helve hammer. Note that the blister steel is less complicated to process by hand then iron blooms, and there is no possibility of pixel loss if processed by hand, making helve hammer processing almost overkill.

===Iron Anvil===
An iron [[anvil]] can not be cast like anvils out of other metals. The player first has to make the upper and lower part of the anvil each, smithing them on a bronze anvil. Then, the two parts need to be welded together.
<br>
To make a complete iron anvil, a total of 10 iron ingots are needed, 5 each for the anvil base and anvil top, as well as one powdered borax. <br>
Start the crafting process by placing a heated iron ingot on the anvil - bronze or higher anvil tier is needed. Select the anvil base and start hammering. Note that for the base, a total of 5 ingots need to be added, and there is only a 2 pixel margin for error in total. It is recommended to add one ingot, flatten it out and only then add the next - and so forth. <br>
For the anvil top, follow the same process. However, keep in mind that for the top part, even with careful smithing, not even one pixel will be wasted. This means there is no margin for error, and any wasted pixels will result in a sixth ingot added to finish the item.<br>
<br>
After both the base and top are finished, heat both of them up in a forge. Once heated, first place the base part down on the ground. Take one portion of powdered borax and apply with a {{SneakClick}} on the placed base, then add the top part. Hammer until both parts are welded together, this should take about 12 hits.
