I'm a beginner at metal spiralling and I thought maybe I would make a post about what i think the metal spiralling process is and include questions around it. (and questions from other users)
If any veterans would like to add some tips it would be great and I will add it to a list.
tl;dr
If you don't have the resources and time just buy hammer and anvils.
The Process:
- 1: Upgrade your Finery Forge so you don't softcap bloom for this iteration*
2. Gather LOTS of iron.
3. Keep making wrought iron till they have reached around the quality of their anvil/hammer
4. Keep making wrought iron in hopes for 7 "crits" which will guarantee 20% quality increase of what the product
5. Make another set of anvil and hammer which will be "20% better"
6. Rinse and repeat steps 1-5 till desired quality.
*Not doing so will eventually start to softcap your bloom and it will very quickly starts increasing the need for more iron to progress.
The Questions:

Finery forge will softcap the bloom quality.
since bloom is the most integral part of how spiraling, it softcapping is very bad.
It is (forgeQ+CoalQ) / 2. If the metal you're spiraling is above this by a significant margin then you're best waiting until you can get better q coal or a forge.

- Q: Which of the skills that affect the chance of wrought iron do we want/not want?
A:

If I remember correctly is is 50/50 to become bloom or slag. Then there's various chances for how that bloom turns out.
Yeah. I started doing some testing with an alt on this, and if there is a difference, it's small. (i'm still only about 40% wrought on the alt.. unsure if just lucky or if there's a real trend there after about 40 blooms hammered out.)
