Furnace

A Furnace is an interactive scenery object used in Smithing and Crafting.

In Smithing it is used for the process of Smelting a variety of ores into bars.

A furnace is also needed for some Crafting purposes. With the appropriate mould and Crafting level required, players can use the furnace to craft gold bars into jewellery (e.g. rings, necklaces, bracelets, amulets) with or without gems. Players can also craft silver bars into holy symbols, tiaras, unholy symbols, or lightning rods depending on their Crafting level and the mould they have in their inventory. Players may also make molten glass by smelting soda ash and a bucket of sand.

Players with Level 43 Magic may choose to use Superheat Item instead of furnaces for smelting, earning both Magic and Smithing experience, although this will prove costly as it requires 1 nature rune and 4 fire runes per bar. Superheat Item does not work for jewellery or melting glass.

The closest furnace to a bank is the one in Edgeville, but this requires the Varrock Easy Tasks to be finished. Following close behind are the Neitiznot furnace (requiring The Fremmenik Isles to be completed; the second closest to a bank) and the Port Phasmatys furnace (requiring Priest in Peril to be complete; the third closest to a bank). Although, when comparing the Port Phasmatys furnace/bank and the Edgeville furnace/bank, there is hardly much of a difference. All of these furnaces are members only. For free players or members who do not have any of these requirements, the Burthorpe furnace is the closest to a bank if accessed from its rear-facing side. This has no requirements.

The following table shows locations that are labelled with a furnace icon on the world map and minimap.
