Either a component([[stone brick]] or [[clay]]) has to be rar/supreme, or - when the forge is finished - the [[rock shard]] you improve the forge with.

−
When you start the forge with a rare/supreme component you will hear a drum roll every time, so there is no chance to interrupt and start again, until the forge becomes supreme.

When improving the forge with a rare/supreme rock shard, there are no drum rolls when the improvement is changing the forge to a supreme forge.

Chances are around 1% that the item will become rare/supreme then.

Other, when using a [[stone chisel]] to improve, here you hear a drum roll at the deciding improvement, '''but''' if you fail to improve, the chance is lost. And if you hear the drumroll and succeed, its only a 50% chance, that the forge changes to rare/supreme.

Description

A forge made from stone bricks and clay, intended for smelting and smithing.

Method

Activate the stone brick, right-click the clay, and select Create > Containers > forge. The unfinished forge will drop in front of you on the ground. Right-click it with either another clay or stone brick activated, and choose Continue building.

  • The first lump of clay you use when starting the forge will be completely consumed, no matter how big it is.
  • Subsequent clay can be taken from a single big lump piece by piece. However, the lump will become progressively more damaged if you fail attaching it.

Burn time

The quality level of a forge affects both how long it stays lit for and how long it takes to heat up items.

A 74 quality forge will burn for roughly 2 hours 40 minutes with 20kg of woodscraps. It will burn for between 30 and 40 minutes with only the initial lighting and no additional fuel.

A QL 50.01 forge using 20kg of ~QL 1 woodscraps stayed lit for 117 minutes (Tested 6/13/2012 on the Celebration Server).

Usage

  • Smelting metal ore into lumps
  • Heating up items
  • Hardening items like pottery or key moulds
  • Cooking. - Note: With lower cooking skill, it is better to use a stone oven for cooking, because it adds less difficulty in meals. In contrast, those with high cooking skill might prefer the increased skill gain of cooking with a forge.

To light up a forge, put a kindling in your inventory, activate a steel and flint, right-click the forge and select Light.

Tips

  • Only 20 kg of fuel is needed at a time, any more is unnecessary. QL of fuel does not seem to affect burning time.
  • Put items in cauldrons or backpacks inside the forge to allow it to hold more items.
  • A forge will hold 7 cauldrons.
  • A forge will hold at most 28 ore.
  • Metal scraps will cool much faster than usual in an unlit forge, regardless of the forge QL.
  • Items that can be burned like rags, tar or wooden items will take damage in forges once they are almost searing hot. If the item can be repaired, it will lose QL but show no damage.
