Improvements
To improve a forge, you must first right click, and examine the |forge. In the Event window you will see what you need to work on the forge to improve its quality.
In all cases it will either require a stone chisel to chip away irregularities or rock shards.
To improve with stone chisel:
- Equip a stone chisel from your inventory
- Right click on the stone forge and select Improvements/Chip
To improve with rock shards:
- Equip a rock shards from your inventory
- Right click on the stone forge and select Improvements/Improve
Usage
Cooking in a forge is not recommended because there is a larger chance of burning your food. For cooking it would be better to use a stone oven. However, because of the increased difficulty of cooking, many people do cook in forges for the increased skill gain.
Tips
- The first lump of clay you use (when starting the forge) will be completely consumed even if it is a 20kg lump.
- Subsequent use of clay can be taken from a single 20kg lump, however that is inefficient since the lump will become progressively more damaged.
- The quality level of a forge is a factor in both how long it stays lit for and how long it takes to heat up items. Example: a 40QL forge will take 20 minutes to get iron lumps glowing (may also depend on quality of lumps).
- A 70 quality level forge burns for 115 minutes with 20kg of 44q peat set to burn in it.
- If using wood scrap as fuel only burn 20kg at a time. A 40QL forge will last for approximately 40 minutes before it needs refueling (more than 20kg does not seem to effect how long the forge lasts at any QL).
- A forge will hold 28 ore at most. However, using a cauldron allows the forge to hold more things.
- Tar and other fuel sorces can also be used; some burn better than others. See fuel for more info.
- Metal scraps will cool much faster than usually in an unlit forge regardless of the forge ql.
Forge Table
Lump Forge Glowing Hot
- 04.62 60.22 12 mins
- 36.01 35.18 12 mins
- 01.20 35.18 14 mins (inside ql 3.55 cauldron)
NB: Would be helpful if others could give me other values for lump/forge combinations. Accurate to one minute please.
Higher QL ore heats up much faster than low QL ore.
