Description

A ceramic smelting pot, used to smelt metal.

Creation

It is created by placing a clay smelting pot into a campfire, forge, oven, or kiln.

Usage

To smelt an item both the smelting pot and the item to be smelted must be at least glowing dimly, preferably glowing brightly or hotter. Activate the smelting pot, right-click the metal item and select Smelt. The material will appear as a metal lump in place of the item.

Notes

  • 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 needs to be metal, not enchanted, and able to be heated to a sufficiently hot temperature.
  • The "'Smelt'" action is not available if the item is not glowing dimly or hotter.
    • When an item is marked as "glowing dimly", it may need more time to become glowing brightly or even glowing white hot before the Smelt option is available.
  • 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
