| Recipe | Carpenter's Shop; (1,000g) |
The Gold Brazier is a decorative fire bowl with a polished gold finish. Once lit, it casts a warm, moderate glow over the tiles around it, both indoors and outdoors. Robin sells the recipe at the Carpenter's Shop, in the middle of her brazier range on price. It costs more than the Wooden, Stone, Barrel and Stump designs but less than the Carved, Skull and Marble ones. Its ingredients are simple, though the Gold Bar makes it a little more costly to build than the cheaper models.
Recipe
Robin keeps every brazier recipe in stock at the Carpenter's Shop from the start of the game. They can be bought in any order, so the Gold Brazier does not have to wait for the cheaper designs.
Each brazier takes one Gold Bar, one piece of Coal and five Fiber. Fiber comes from cutting weeds and grass with the Scythe or any other tool. Coal turns up when breaking rocks in the Mines.
The Gold Bar is the only part that takes real effort. Gold Ore appears in the Mines below floor 80, and Clint also sells it at the Blacksmith. Smelting five pieces of Gold Ore with a Coal in a Furnace takes about five hours. Later on, the Transmute (Au) recipe from the Mining skill turns two Iron Bars into a Gold Bar instead.
Transmuting is what makes a whole row affordable. Iron Ore is far more common in the middle floors of the Mines than gold ever is, so a farm with a Furnace and the recipe can turn an ordinary mining day into enough bars for several fires.
Clint's forge has its own claim on the metal. Tool upgrades to the fourth tier run on Gold Bars, and so do the Ring of Yoba, the Worm Bin and some of the better fishing tackle. A brazier made of the stuff is partly a statement about how well the farm is doing.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
Clicking a placed Gold Brazier lights the fire, and clicking again puts it out. That makes it easy to leave the flame burning only after dark. It suits porches, patios, garden paths and the inside of the farmhouse or a shed, wherever extra light and a touch of shine are welcome.
The glow reaches about seven tiles, matching the plainest design in the range. The gold is bought for the shine, not the spread.
The polished finish asks for company. It stands well beside a Gold Clock on the lawn, and a pair at the end of a cobbled path gives a farm entrance the air of a country house rather than a working yard.

Notes
A lit brazier keeps burning night after night on the single piece of Coal that went into building it, so a line of them costs nothing to run once the gold has been handed over.
