Read all possible checks
- Steel Smithing is locked: Inspect its Jack reputation gate and the active Jack quest. Next check
- A quest asks me to bring steel: Read the Royal Foundry objective for the steel hand-in rather than assuming you must already craft the material yourself.
- Technology unlocked, item still unavailable: Check the exact recipe, its workstation and its separate requirements. An unlocked technology alone is not proof of readiness.
Do you have an unfinished Jack quest?
Use the exact quest text; this is not a universal fastest reputation route.
Read all possible checks
- Yes: Follow that objective and its return dialogue. The calculations and Royal Foundry hand-in are separate points in the quest chain.
- No visible quest: Check story progress and prerequisite dialogue. Record your current quest state instead of repeatedly crafting items in the hope of gaining trust.
- Not checked: Open the quest log and check Jack’s available dialogue before spending materials.
