11Overview33Compared with the basic Smelting Furnace, the Large Smelting Furnace runs its shared recipes faster and adds the high-tier outputs the small furnace cannot produce, most importantly the Mire Metal Ingot. It is the smelting station you keep for the rest of a playthrough.55Even magic cannot withstand the heat of this furnace.77Large Smelting Furnace is a refiningcraft station in Windrose. The upper-tier smelting station. Produces Copper Ingot, Foothills Iron Ingot, Mire Metal Ingot, Essence Arborum, and Glass Bottle, and is the only station that can refine Mire Metal.99Station Info1111PropertyValueCategoryRefining stationStation TypeBase stationMax Health7,500Outdoor OnlyYesWithin Bonfire RangeRequiredComfort Bonus+11313Construction Materials1414ImageMaterialQuantityFoothills Iron Ingotx10Clayx20Hewn Stonex201616Recipes Crafted1717The following recipes are available at Large Smelting Furnace.

Because the Ancient Scraps farming loop in the Cursed Swamps is slow, stockpiling ingots before committing them is the usual approach. Both Ancient Scraps and Quagmire Powder come from the swamp, so a single furnace placed near a base storage chest keeps the whole chain short.2424Placement Strategy2626The Large Smelting Furnace is one of only two refining stations in the game that produces Mire Metal Ingot, the other being certain world forges tied to quest chains. Mire Metal gates the entire jewelery extender line and most late-game weapon upgrades, which makes the Large Smelting Furnace a top-priority refining build. Its outdoor placement requirement, Comfort +1, and Foothills Iron Ingot cost all point to a mid-game base expansion rather than a first-camp install.2828Tips3030Place the furnace outdoors but within Bonfire range. Indoor placement will fail the station even if the roof allows it.Comfort +1 from the furnace does not stack with other fire sources. Pair it with an indoor Cooking Fire or Charcoal Kiln to cover separate Comfort slots.Queue Mire Metal Ingot batches overnight. Thirty-second cook times mean a single gameplay session pushes enough ingots for a full late-game equipment build.Charcoal is the invisible chokepoint for ingot production. Build a Charcoal Kiln next to the furnace so you do not run dry mid-smelt.3232See Also3434Craft StationsBase BuildingCraftingSmelting FurnaceCharcoal KilnMire Metal IngotFoothills Iron IngotEssence Arborum3636Details3838Properties4040PropertyValueMax Health7,5004242Build Cost4343Duration: 1s4545IngredientQuantityHewn Stonex20Foothills Iron Ingotx10Clayx204747Unlocked By4848DISCOVERY Mire metal smelting, blacksmith bellows, and a jeweler's table upgradeCursed SwampsAncient Scraps5050Comfort5252CategoryBonusHearth+1
