Kiln (Clan Citadels)

The Kiln is a plot in a Clan Citadel that allows you to gain the resource Charcoal.

You can contribute towards the Clan's charcoal resource by working at the firemaking skill plot. Contrary to popular belief, timber is not required to produce charcoal. Charcoal is, however, required in the production of metal and precious metal bars.

By increasing the tier of your firemaking plot, you may find that more kilns are added to your skill plot. All kilns will need to be filled before you can produce charcoal.

The kilns have two sides, east and west, which are treated separately. Each side has two openings for throwing woodchip in. Only one of the openings needs to be filled for each side of a kiln. If there are two kilns in the firemaking plot, it is recommended that you fill the openings in this order: Northwest opening of the southern kiln, southwest opening of the northern kiln, southeast opening of the northern kiln, northeast opening of the southern kiln, and continue in a clockwise order. This is most effective when done by only one player. It takes around 30 seconds for a side of the kiln to be filled, making the firemaking plot a fairly decent way to train firemaking free and with little input, albeit rather slowly.

Trivia

 * Although the option to move the woodchips into the furnace is "Shovel", the player uses their bare hands, while when shoveling ore into the furnace a spade is used.


 * Wearing Flame Gloves, the Ring of Fire, using a familiar or a Penance (master) horn will not grant any extra experience.
