Glass furnaces are used to make raw Template:L (a Template:L), Template:Ls, and Template:L items. All furniture made at a glass furnace can also be made out of either Template:L, Template:L or Template:L instead, with the exception of Template:Ls, 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 Template:L. Raw glass is sometimes a component needed to make Template:L.

Glass furnaces can make green glass, clear glass, and crystal glass goods. Green glass goods require sand, clear glass requires Template:L and Template:L, and crystal glass requires raw Template:Ls and pearlash. Raw rock crystals are a type of gem and are usually very difficult to find.

Many of the names of glass furniture are different. A glass door is called a portal, and a glass coffer is called a box.

Glass furnaces are also needed to issue the "collect sand" order. This requires an empty Template:L, and Item Hauler, and a Template:L 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 (Template:L) 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 Template:L 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 Template:Ls may not be imported. Foreign merchants never have glass furniture for sale.
