All furniture made at a glass furnace can also be made out of either [[metal]], [[stone]] or [[wood]] instead, with the exception of [[window]]s, which can only otherwise be made from gems. Glass furnaces can make craft goods, and vials (which are used to make extracts.) 3 Clear glass vials are needed to build an [[alchemist's laboratory]]. Raw glass is sometimes a component needed to make [[Legendary artifact|artifacts]]. |

Green glass goods require sand, clear glass requires [[sand]] and [[pearlash]], and crystal glass requires raw [[rock crystal]]s and pearlash. Raw rock crystals are a type of gem and are usually very difficult to find. |

This requires an empty [[bag]], and Item Hauler, and a [[Activity_zone|zone]] designated for sand collection. Collection of sand and making of glass items is usually more efficient if you make a Glass furnace and set it to collect sand, and then have another ([[Magma glass furnace]]) churn out glass items, as the "Collect Sand" task will keep the furnace occupied and unavailable for other tasks until the sand collection is completed. A good glassmaker's shop will become rapidly [[Clutter|cluttered]] with empty bags, so it may be beneficial to occasionally swap which shop makes glass and which shop gathers sand. |

| + | Not all maps have a source of sand and neither raw nor cut glass of any type may be imported. Raw [[rock crystal]]s may not be imported. Foreign merchants never have glass furniture for sale. | ||
