Temperature

Temperature is an important factor in crafting many objects for certain skills, such as smithing, pottery, and cooking. An object needs to be raised to a specific temperature in order to be worked on, often needing to be in one of the "glowing" levels.

There are 7 levels of heat:

• Warm
• Very warm
• Hot
• Searing hot
• Glowing dimly from the heat (red indicator - sufficient heat to work with the item)
• Glowing brightly from the heat (blue indicator - very hot and will remain hot for a while)
• Glowing white-hot (white indicator - At or near maximum temperature possible and will remain hot for a long time)

Notes

• The time it takes items to heat up depends on the quality of the item and heating apparatus (campfire, stone forge, stone oven, etc).
• Higher quality metal lumps will retain their heat longer than lower quality lumps when removed from a forge.
• Food may or may not need to reach "glowing hot" depending on what's being cooked.
