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.

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.

Improvements

To improve a forge's quality, right-click and examine it, and in the event window you will see what you need. Either:

  • Activate a stone chisel from your inventory, right-click the forge and select Chip; or
  • Activate a rock shards from your inventory, right-click the forge and select Improve.

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

Example: A 40 QL forge will take 20 minutes to get iron lumps glowing, although it depends on the quality of the lumps also.
It will last for about 40 minutes before it needs refueling. A 70 QL forge burns for 115 minutes.

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.

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.
  • Some wooden or cloth items will burn up if left inside, some won't; for example small barrels won't burn up.
