Functions of the Blast Furnace
A runescape accounts Smithing power leveling level of at least 60 is advised, but not required. However, the Blast Furnace Foreman will charge you 2,500 gold pieces every 10 minutes of using the furnace if you don’t possess 60 Smithing. If you possess a Ring of Charos(a), you will notice you will only have to pay 1,250 runescape gold pieces instead.
Four tasks are required in the process of smelting bars through the Blast Furnace with an optional fifth:
Cycling the Bike
Operating the bike causes the conveyor belt to move, which deposits ores into the furnace to get the smelting process started. An Agility level of 30 is required and you receive 1 experience per peddle. Be cautious as the cogs or the drive belt on the conveyor may break. You must also have run energy to operate the furnace, as it is consumed while taking part.
Often times you will find yourself with low energy while performing this task. To restore it, take energy potions with you or make use of the Spirit Terrorbird familiar that has a scroll ability called Tireless Run that restores your run energy based on your Agility level. You can also use the Salt Water Spring in Oo’glog to give yourself infinite run energy for about 25 minutes.
Fueling the Stove
Making sure that the furnace is filled with heat is essential in the smelting process. To do so, you must fill your spade with coke and deposit it into the stove. A Firemaking level of 30 is required to shovel coke into the stove. You get 5 experience per shovel of coke deposited into the stove. There are no dangers of this operation.
Pumping Heat Into the Furnace
To get the furnace hot, the heated air must be pushed through pipes into the furnace chamber. There is a pump near the south-east end of the furnace in which to push hot air into the furnace. A Strength level of 30 is requires and you get 2 experience per pump.
Listening to the bars coming out through the dispenser or an available ally at the temperature gauge will let you know when to stop. If pumped too much, the heat will backfire and cause considerable damage.
Repairing Damaged Parts
Often times parts of the furnace will break, resulting in a halt of the smelting process. A simple patch-job with a hammer is all these fixes need along with a requirement of 30 runescape gold farming. You get 50 Crafting experience per fix.
It is worth noting that these breaks can be fixed with a Sacred Clay Hammer for 100 experience per fix and it does reduce the charge of the hammer.
