Blast Furnace

[Cloudzero37]

Some corrections and suggestions

 

 

 

Under Smelting & Smithing

 

 

 

The furnace will accept up to 224 coal (enough to accompany two packloads of rune ore) from you. It will accept up to 28 (one packload) of each other type of ore (except iron; see below). Your unused coal "balance" is shown in the lower right corner of the bar dispenser menu. All deposited ores are held for you in the furnace indefinitely; they don't expire.

 

 

 

To my knowledge the max is 250 coals. You cannot add any more coals if you already have 200?(Should be 200, did not really test it) coals already inside the furnace.

 

 

 

Under Soloing the Furnace

 

 

 

Pick up shovel spawn and shovel coke until furnace glows deep red (first yellow, then orange, maybe red-orange, etc.)

 

 

 

It is not a must to make it red hot, rather between 4 to 8 shovels will suffice. 4 if you have a partner already pumping when you start shovelling, and you immediately repair the pipes after you are done. (Tested) 8 or 6 for soloing, which is what I have been doing. (8 is safer though)

 

 

 

Suggestions

 

 

 

Add a new method of soloing. Buying ores from the shop and smelting it.

 

Inventory contents: Gp, nat, hammer with fire staff equiped.

 

Eg: Buy mithril ores and coals from shop, smith and switch worlds when stock runs out. Rinse and repeat. Possible for mithril, steel and iron. Recommended minimum steel though.

 

 

 

Advantages:Fast exp, I leveled from 63 to 71 in 1 day using this method. No need to aqquire large amounts of ores beforehand.

 

 

 

Disadvantages: Slow to do for long term, every change of server eats 40 seconds. Shop might not have stock(Seen a few players doing this already).

How would this be possible? if you have 200 in and can't add more, how can you have a max of 250?

You can 'Use' the ores with the conveyor belt to force more coal into the furnace. I've tried this many times, but haven't paid attention to if it goes to 250.
