Blast Furnace

The most efficient ore-processing machine in RuneScape is how the Blast Furnace is described by Jagex. This is instantly appealing to all people who enjoy the smithing skill, although a lot of effort is required to fully reap the benefits of this mini game.

Obviously, the blast furnace mini game is a member only game. The main benefit is that is uses half the amount of coal normally required when smelting ores in the traditional way. You will need to have started The Giant Dwarf quest to access the city of Keldagrim, where the mini game takes place.

All players working together on the furnace will receive some smithing experience in addition to other experience for performing the respective job.

A brief outline:
1. Speak to the foreman to find out about the jobs required in order to make the blast furnace work correctly. All jobs need to be performed correctly in order to use the furnace.

2. Furnace Stoker - Level 30 firemaking required to keep the furnace lit. The person will need to use a spade with the coke holder and then hit the refuel stove button. Stoking the furnace once gives 5 firemaking experience.

3. Heat Pump Operator - Level 30 strength is required to pump the heated air between the stove and the furnace. Whoever is reading the gauge should instruct the heat pump operator when to pump and when to relax. Food should be in your inventory as damage can be taken if overheated.

4. Conveyor belt operator - 30 agility required to operate this. A small amount of agility experience is gained every 30 seconds or for every percent of energy used. Energy or super energy potions can be used while operating the conveyor belt and this will help prolong your time here. The conveyor belt transports the ores to be smelted.

5. Gauge Reader - Simply needs to communicate to the correct person what is required. It may be something needs repaired or more heat needs to be pumped into the system.

6. Repairman - Level 30 crafting is required as a repairman. 50 crafting experience is given each time a repair is carried out. More than one mechanic is suggested as the furnace may break down a lot - and it is essential the furnace remains in full working order for people to get smelting their ores.

7. Cool down bars using a bucket of water.
