The metallurgy system in Path of Exile’s Settlers of Kalguur league is unnecessarily confusing. You’ll mark ores for workers, wait for workers to mine them, and then smelt processed ores to get bars. The last step has some prerequisites, and you’ll have to go through a lot of bumps to unlock smelting. Here’s how to smelt ores in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur.

Smelting is a whole different specialization for workers, which needs to be unlocked before you can start smelting your mined or processed ores. Smelting is unlocked by getting rank 2 on Recruitment, and you need 20 gold, 3 Crimson Iron Ores, and 3 Orchicalcum Ores to establish the Smelting Station. When you have the materials ready, go east of the waypoint, and you’ll find the construction hammer icon to build the Smelter.
