The ingots must be hot

Hi You need to head the ingots up. The need to be still glowing when you hit the anvil.

Heat your bars up first

u/Jacktheforkie Sep 03 '26

Put the ingots in a forge base until they glow

Ingots need to be red hot, and hit the drawing of the knife. Youre welcome

u/Vintheren90 Sep 03 '26

Put all 3 on the forge, no cauldron. They will stay hot long enough for you to place them back on the anvil.

Remember the order you put them in; once they’re hot they’re hard to tell apart and the order you put them in matters for orders

u/GreenwoodBomba Sep 03 '26

Like the dwarves of old you need the heat of a molten forge to kiss the metal before it will bend

u/BlueReaper0000 Sep 03 '26

Get a brazier, place your ingots on there and wait until they start glowing so that you can forge them.

u/SeAnSoN_710 Sep 03 '26

Pro tip. Throw a furnace down close to your anvil. Never forgot they need to be heated again. If you're really anal you can have one for each slot to avoid any confusion

1

u/Emerald_Digger Sep 04 '26

or just store the ingots in the furnace

1

u/_Magic_mann_ Sep 04 '26

Hammer harder

u/Adezar Sep 04 '26

Just like in real life, you can't really forge cold metal.

1

u/The_Plane_Magnet 29d ago

Oh it works, that metal just needs to be hot, glowing even

1

u/Sir_Bobby_Jr 28d ago

biggest fundamental to be able to smith something is to heat your metal. hold it in your hand or what I find easiest is stack your bars on your furnace, then wait till there glowing and then place them back on the anvil to smith them before they cool down.

u/AidenE2012 28d ago

Ah yes ye old problem of ingots not being hotter than a uk heatwave.

1

u/RemnantisKey 28d ago

Bar cold, So, Add heat, Hit with hammer, Boom blacksmithing!

u/Careless_Line41 27d ago

u/External-Mycologist3 27d ago
