Finery forges are used to refine cast iron into bloom, which can then be worked by a smith in order to produce wrought iron. Place up to nine units of cast iron bars into the finery forge along with 2 charcoal and set alight, after roughly 9 minutes (Real time) the metal will either turn into valuable bloom or dross.

Finery forges can also be used to convert stacks of a hundred coins into a bar of metal. Doing this takes 2 units of charcoal, and will not affect the quality of the metal.

A finery forge in combination with the fuel used can softcap bloom during the process of making wrought iron.

Quality

• Finery Forge = ${\frac {(_{q}Brick+_{q}Cast+_{q}Metal)}{3}}$

• Bloom quality only softcapped by ${\frac {(_{q}Forge+_{q}Coal)}{2}}$

Notes

• Important: Since World 16 Player must make a Discovery of Iron Ochre to be able to build a forge.

Game Development

• Stack of Stacks (2023-03-07)◎ >"Fixed the old fuel bug and removed the work-around for it. Ovens/smelters/&c. no longer reset their progress when burning out, rather each item therein tracks the average fuel quality it has seen while burning, and uses that upon completion."

• Fishing for Finery (2021-04-25)◎ >"Added variable materials to "Finery Forge"s. They now take color and texture from the materials they were made from. Note that this implied a slight change to the recipe, which might have interesting quality implications."

• Roe, Roe, Roe yer Boat (2021-01-31)◎ >"You can now light fire items (branches, torches, &c) from most ovens and other objects with open flames."
