This forge is a common location to find players grinding slowly along to level 99 smithing by smelting thousands upon thousands of gold ore and using the bonuses of the goldsmithing gauntlets. It is chosen mainly because it is far closer to the nearby bank than any other options in the game. It is also a one-click bank, which is a bonus. The clay forge is nearly as close as the Varrock anvils are to their own local bank, which makes it a valuable asset despite its low recognition.
