| Original Name | 黑铁 |

Acquisition
| Source | Method | Yield | Chapter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Empty Black Iron-Level Treasure Chest | Dismantled through the Survival Bracelet after removing its contents | 5 units of black iron; no other materials | 17 |
- The bracelet explicitly permits dismantling the empty chest without material loss. Once Lu Heng confirms, the chest dissolves without residue and the recovered metal enters his bracelet storage 17.
- Opening this first Black Iron-Level Treasure Chest also grants five permanent storage slots. This is a chest-opening milestone reward, separate from the recovered metal 17.
Properties and Uses
- Advanced tool crafting: Black iron is identified as a resource for making advanced tools, though no specific black iron crafting recipe is shown in its initial material description 17.
- Shelter reinforcement: The metal can be used to reinforce a shelter 17.
- Physical properties: Bronze's material appraisal states that its basic hardness and forging properties are equal to black iron's, with no additional physical enhancement 34.
Comparison with Bronze
| Property | Black Iron | Bronze |
|---|---|---|
| Basic hardness and forging properties | Equal to bronze | Equal to black iron 34 |
| Supernatural combat properties | Used as the comparison baseline | Possesses an inherent, constant Spirit-Breaking property that lets forged tools and weapons counter supernatural creatures 34 |
| Relative value | Lower than bronze | Explicitly valued far above black iron-grade materials 34 |
Material and Grade Distinction
- Black iron metal is not synonymous with every Black Iron-grade resource. The same grade also applies to nonmetal materials, including Swamp Poison Lizard meat, poison glands, hide, and bones 23.
- The ordinary stone cave's upgrade panel requires 50 units of stone and any one Black Iron material, with a special function determined by the chosen material—not specifically by black iron metal 30.
- Lu Heng later completes an Advanced Shelter upgrade using a Black Iron-tier Water Soul Crystal as the empowering material, unlocking a refrigerated ice cellar 50.
