== Notes ==
* Once hardened into a pottery smelting pot, it can no longer be improved.
* The quality of the resulting lump is capped by the quality of the smelting pot, but is otherwise equal to the item that was smelted.
* There are no known size limitations for items the smelter can smelt. The item only need be metal, not enchanted, and able to be heated to a glowing hot temperature state.
* The "'Smelt'" action is not available if the item is not glowing from heat.
* Smelting a rare or better metal item will produce a corresponding rare or better lump.
* A small amount of metal from the original item is typically lost to the smelting process.
* Items that cannot be improved and are not capped by the 20% of total skill when created will now receive a quality penalty when smelted, at the following rates: -7.5% to -2.5% for common metals, -12.5% to -7.5% for moon metals and alloys.
== Cannot Be Smelted ==* The smelting pot is used to smelt metal. You can get rid of spare tools that you've created to grind skill by smelting it back down into lumps. You must use the smelting pot as you would a tool, by activating it [[Lock]]s and right clicking on the tool you wish to smelt. The item you want to smelt must be glowing from the heat. Keep in mind that if your tool is not large enough to smelt into a lump, the smelted tool will simply vanish. [[key]]s* Low ql smelting pots cap the ql of the lumps at 50 ql.Enchanted Items* The smelting pot cannot smelt every metal item, for instance it cannot smelt locks or keys. And it can't smelt "Newbie" Runed items (the ones you get at game start and won't lose, can't upgrade). === Reasons For Not Smelting ===#If no smelt option appears, it needs to become hotter.#If it says something in your events about that it resists smelting, then the item has an enchant.#If the item is low weight, smelting it yields no lump.#All metals can be smelted (tested on a longsword of each type)
