Smelting

Smelting is the step between mining ore and forging it into something useful. It requires no skill, but does take some knowledge. You must have access to a furnace, which is generally available in large towns.

After forging, you will have bars of ore. These will start out at 4 pounds, but can be combined into larger bars by continued use of the furnace, or cut into smaller ones with a bar cutter.
