Scalding Smelt Rune

A pickaxe rune that automatically smelts ores as you mine them.

The Scalding Smelt Rune infuses your pickaxe with searing heat, causing ores to smelt instantly as you break them. Iron ore drops iron ingots, gold ore drops gold ingots, and so on. No furnace required.

Effect

When mining ores with a pickaxe that has the Scalding Smelt Rune applied, the ore is automatically smelted into its refined form. This eliminates the need for furnaces and fuel when mining, dramatically speeding up your resource gathering.

Tips

  • Apply to the Dwarven Pickaxe for the ultimate mining setup with auto-smelt plus rune slots.
  • Pairs perfectly with the Telekinesis Rune -- auto-smelt and auto-pickup means zero wasted time.
  • Saves enormous amounts of fuel over the course of a playthrough.
  • Essential for long mining expeditions where inventory space is at a premium -- ingots stack to 64 while some ores do not.
