Smelter

A Smelter is a crafting facility found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Overview[]

Smelters are used to smelt ores and certain Dwemer artifacts into ingots. They are dark colored and dome-shaped, often found near mine entrances and in some cities. Smelting does not raise smithing abilities.

  •  360   Sometimes, when a smelter is activated there is no action. This glitch can occur when using any blacksmith facility, (i.e. tanning rack, grindstone, forge). Sheathing/unsheathing should resolve this.
  •  360   Sometimes when using the Whirlwind Sprint shout, then activating the smelter very quickly afterward, the Dragonborn is shown scooping ore into the ground beside the smelter instead of into the smelter.
