I had a piece of Black Metal before Scrap Iron. There was a tiny piece of plains next to where I was setting up my first Swamp outpost and a group of Fulings spawned at night there. I took a chance and was able to snipe one from my little tree fort with a bow, then stayed hidden until the sun came up and the rest of its group despawned, then I came down and collected the loot from the one kill.

Weird things happen in valheim, Fulings sometimes get killed by other npcs and leave behind a murder mystery for you to piece together who dunnit

Black Metal is smelted by a different furnace than Iron,copper and tin.

Wish they would make it so the Blast furnace smelted the 'lesser' metals .

The metal I tried putting in was probably the fuling crap. Need to get the regular stuff in the crypts. Thanks for the info.

By killing fulings. I did before I got my iron. Not hard just kiting them with a bow

Sunken Crypts in the swamp. Use the pick on the big muck piles in the doorways. That smelts to iron ingots.

Black Metal you get from Fulings is not Scrap Iron. Black Metal needs the blast furnace, Scrap Iron needs the smelter.

Black Metal Scrap (Dark Green/Black colour) from Fulings (and Fuling Village Chests) needs the Blast Furnace.

Scrap Iron (Brown colour) from the Sunken Crypts (and sometimes Swamp Creatures drops) needs the Smelter.

Iron Ore (Light Brown colour -- material like Copper/Tin Ore) is something I have only seen spawned from the -console/Devcommands. So if you ran across that somewhere on the Map and Pick-axed it, I have no idea how that gets processed. Mistlands, Ashlands and the Frozen North are not completed Biomes yet and it may come from there.

Yes, you get iron from smelting scrap. When using the smelter, coal goes to the right and scrap to the left.

is what you have called BLACK iron? That needs a NEW type of smelter and is a DIFFERENT metal.
The normal iron from crypts is "iron".
