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:

  1. Equip a stone chisel from your inventory
  2. Right click on the stone forge and select Improvements/Chip

To improve with rock shards:

  1. Equip a rock shards from your inventory
  2. 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 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.
