Once the form is complete, the clay item must be baked in a [[Pit Kiln|pit kiln]]. <br>
A pit kiln is a one deep hole dug into the earth or surrounded by non-flammable materials - ''make sure to not use any burnable materials in the vicinity, as the kiln will set fire to flammable material!'' Even tall grass and low hanging tree branches will go up in flames and might cause your local forest or house to be destroyed.
After finding a secure spot, place your raw items into the hole. You can find a list of how many items can be fired at the same time below. Next, place dry grass, sticks and firewood above the items in that order - the game will stop you from adding more than necessary. It should take 10 grass, 8 sticks and 4 firewood.<br>
Finally, ignite the kiln with a torch or fire starter. Make sure to keep a safe distance from it yourself, since you can accidentally set yourself on fire as well. The firing will take approximately 20 ingame hours, so it's a good idea to prep the pit kiln before the night to let it fire away through the darkness. The fire on top of the kiln will stop burning when it's done, leaving only the finished pottery items in the hole. Finished items appear dark brown and no longer have "raw" in front of their name.<br>
