No I did not craft it before... My intention was to craft it when I started the battles, after receiving sufficient donations (I had my farming ready to collect the glass spears). When I reached the point that I knew I would note have enoug time to complete the chapter because I had not received enough donations and was about to go to bed, I gave up and harvested my farms. In the morning, with about 2 hours to go before the chapter finished, I then decided to craft the furnace anyway, rather than have worthless material sitting in storage.. I have no idea if the furnace had disappeared from the spell shop, as I didn't look! My issue is that, despite having plenty of neighbours and being able to get 18 maps from neighbours in less than 5 hours, I was unable to receive 15 donations in 16 hours! I believe that this is because neighbours did not receive my request when it was first sent! I do not believe that this is some 'unlucky coincidence' but an attempt on TL's part to encourage me to use gold to skip the act - I refused to do so, and so by the time I received the required number of donations, it was impossible to complete the chapter 🙁
