Smithing is one of the many skills in RuneScape. It involves smelting (creating metal bars from certain ores) or the smithing itself, where the bars are used to make armor (eg, plate mail, plate legs, chain mail, large helm, etc), weapons (eg, sword, longsword, dagger, etc) or tools (woodcut axe, nails (steel only), etc). At almost every new level, players will be able to make something new due to the large amounts of smithing possibilities and only 99 levels.
{{Header Nav|game=RuneScape}}
Smithing is a skill in conjunction to [[RuneScape/Mining|Mining]], where the ores are mined with the mining skill, and then smelted, and then smithed.


Smithing is quite an expensive skill if one wishes to raise it quickly, as the bars must be bought, and (at lower levels) the returns are usually much less than the money spent on bars. However, if the ores are mined and smelted, the profits are decent once players can smith items such as Adamant Scimitars or Adamant Kites.  
'''Smithing''' is a skill where players can make armour and weapons themselves instead of buying them. Smithing is considered one of the most profitable skills in RuneScape as players can make excellent profits from selling their bars. Because of this, smithing is also one of the more popular skills.


To smith something, a player must have a hammer (can be bought from general stores) in their inventory, as well as a bar (Bronze, Iron, Steel, etc). The player must use the bar on the anvil (Anvils are found in many places, see below for more) which then brings up a new screen showing all the possible items which can be smithed with that bar. If you do not have the required level, the item will be faded (unable to click it), and if you do not have the required number of bars, the name of that item will be red and you will be unable to click it.
Smithing involves two things. First, players have to smelt the ores they receive from [[RuneScape/Skills/Mining|mining]]. Second, players can then use the bars they receive from smelting on some anvils to make items.
Players can smith automatically by right clicking on the item they wish to smith, and choosing 'Smith 1', 'Smith 5' or 'Smith 10', which is quite handy.


Anvils are places which smithers must go in order to smith their bars. There are many places they can be found, the most popular places being:
==Smelting==
-Varrok West Anvil: directly under Varrok West Bank making it a prime location for people who want to smith a lot.  
Smelting in RuneScape is when a player puts ores in a furnace and produces a bar. This bar can then be smithed into an item.
-Yanille Anvil: also near bank, less popular as the one in Varrok West due to the fact that Yanille is harder to reach.
 
In order to smelt, players first of all need ores. Ores can be obtained from [[RuneScape/Skills/Mining|mining]] rocks. Once a player has the amount of ores the want, they can then smelt them.
 
To smelt an ore, players need to find a furnace. When they've found a furnace, a player can then smelt in two different ways. One way is to use their ores on the furnace and produce one bar at a time slowly. The other way, and much faster way, is to click on the furnace, right-click on the ore they want to smelt, click on 'Smelt X', and then type in how many they want.
 
===Free To Play Furnaces===
Below is some information about furnaces available in the free worlds. There are only four furnaces on free servers. Of these furnaces, the Al-Kharid furnace and the Falador furnace are recommended.
 
{| {{prettytable}}
! Furnace location !! Notes
|-
|Al-Kharid||This furnace is located just a little north of the bank. It is very close to a bank and is excellent for players with many ores in their bank. This is the recommended furnace to use.
|-
|Falador||This furnace is located south of the centre. It is very close to both the east bank and the west bank. This is also a recommended furnace, though Al-Khaird's furnace is slightly closer to a bank.
|-
|Lumbridge||This furnace is located north of Lumbridge castle. It is very far from a bank, so if a player wants to smelt fast, this furnace is not recommended to use.
|-
|Wilderness, Level 28||Located in the [[RuneScape/Guides/Wilderness|wilderness]] at level 28, it is only used for the mines in the wilderness. Players using this furnace can no longer be killed by other players due to the fact that the wilderness has been removed and replaced by PVP worlds. (This furnace is dangerous due to the Revenants)

===Pay To Play Furnaces===
Below is some information about furnaces available in the member worlds. Members can use the four furnaces on the free servers or use the other seven furnaces in the member parts of RuneScape.

|-
|East Ardougne||This furnace is very close to a bank and is great if a player has many ores in their bank.
|-
|Entrana||This furnace is mainly only used to make glass as all the materials are on the island, plus a bank is a far away.
|-
|Keldagrim||[[RuneScape/The Giant Dwarf|The Giant Dwarf]] quest is needed to have been started or completed to enter this underground dwarf city. The furnace is a long walk away, plus players have to pay 100 gp to use it.
|-

|-
|Port Phasmatys||This furnace is the closest to a bank in all of RuneScape. Wearing a Ghostspeak amulet speeds up banking but is not required. If a player is finished the [[RuneScape/Ghosts Ahoy|Ghosts Ahoy]] quest, then they can use the ectophial to transport quickly but is not required. If a player is not done the quest, then two ecto-tokens are required to enter the port.
|-

===Smelting Table===
When a player has found a good furnace, they can then smelt their ores. However, players need certain levels smithing levels to smelt ores into bars. Once you are done smelting the required ore a single bar will be made.

|-
|1 iron ore||15||[[File:Runescape Iron bar.png]] Iron Bar||12.5||Smelting iron ores has a 50% chance of success. For example, if a player has 28 iron ores, about 14 will be smelted into bars. However, if a player has a Ring of Forging (members only), then they have a 100% chance of success for a short while.

However, rune bars are difficult to acquire, even when getting all the ore yourself. Many players recommend simply selling the bars, as they are a good source of money and ultimately more profitable than making and selling armor pieces or weapons.
|}
 
==Smithing==
Smithing is where the player uses their bars they received from smelting their ores and smith them into items, usually armour or weapons.
 
To smith, players need to find anvils. Anvils are labeled on a player's mini-map, which is in the top right corner of the game's window. An anvil is shown on the mini-map as a small anvil with a circle around it. It is recommended that players smith their bars by having many bars in their bank. Doing this allows players to get faster xp then mining ores, smelting the ores, and then hammering the bars.
 
It is recommended that both free players and members use the anvils south of Varrock's west bank.
 
To smith a bar, players have to use the bar with the anvil. A menu will then pop up and ask them what they want to make. If a player right-click's on the picture of what they want to make, they can select how much of the item they want to make. Different smithing levels are required to make different items.
 
Below are tables with information about smithing and what players can create. It is important to note that black armour and weapons cannot be smithed.

==Tips==
* Players should always use a furnace that is close to a bank. For free players, they should use Al-Kharid's furnace or Falador's furnace. For members, they should use Port Phasmatys' furnace if they have finished the [[RuneScape/Ghosts Ahoy|Ghosts Ahoy]] quest. If they have not, then they should use East Ardougne's furnace, Falador's furnace, or Al-Kharid's furnace.
* For smelting, it is recommended that players [[RuneScape/Skills/Mining|mine]] as many ores as they want and bank them all, not mine 28 ores, smelt them, and then smith them. This way, a player can go from a bank to a furnace, smelt their ores, and then go back to the bank and repeat. This is much faster than mining and smelting then banking.
* For smithing, it is recommended that players smelt all of their ores and then smith their bars. This is much faster than smelting 28 ores and then smithing 28 ores.
* For anvils, both free players and members are recommended to use the anvils south of Varrock's west bank. These anvils are right beside the bank, and smithing bars and be very fast if a player goes from the bank to the anvils, smiths their bars, goes back to the bank, and repeats.
 
==Training==
===Free to play training===
Here is a way a free player can raise their smithing level.
;Levels 1 to 18
Smelt and smith bronze.
;Levels 18 to 48
Smelt and smith iron. However, this will be very slow.
;Levels 30 to 48
Smelt and smith steel.
;Levels 48 to 99
Smelt and smith steel. Players are recommended that they smith steel plates and then high level alchemy them for a great profit.
;Levels 48 to 68
Smelt and smith steel.
;Levels 68 to 99
Smelt steel bars. This is a very steady process, and should be done at furnaces such as the Al-Kharid furnace. At the time of writing this, you can make things faster by buying both the iron and coal needed, and still make money when you're done.
 
If you want to, you may also smelt and/or smith mithril. It will cost more money, but you can also make some money, as with the steel. If you wish to smith mithril, smith platebodies, and high alch them. This generates profit, as it costs only 1 nature rune per platebody, and if you use a fire staff, then there's no need to spend money on fire runes.
 
Many players prefer to make steel plates to level up their smithing level. This is great as the ores to make steel are easy to obtain, plus the smithing experience from the plates is great.

Smithing is a skill where players can make armour and weapons themselves instead of buying them. Smithing is considered one of the most profitable skills in RuneScape as players can make excellent profits from selling their bars. Because of this, smithing is also one of the more popular skills.

Smithing involves two things. First, players have to smelt the ores they receive from mining. Second, players can then use the bars they receive from smelting on some anvils to make items.

Smelting[edit]

Smelting in RuneScape is when a player puts ores in a furnace and produces a bar. This bar can then be smithed into an item.

In order to smelt, players first of all need ores. Ores can be obtained from mining rocks. Once a player has the amount of ores the want, they can then smelt them.

To smelt an ore, players need to find a furnace. When they've found a furnace, a player can then smelt in two different ways. One way is to use their ores on the furnace and produce one bar at a time slowly. The other way, and much faster way, is to click on the furnace, right-click on the ore they want to smelt, click on 'Smelt X', and then type in how many they want.

Free To Play Furnaces[edit]

Below is some information about furnaces available in the free worlds. There are only four furnaces on free servers. Of these furnaces, the Al-Kharid furnace and the Falador furnace are recommended.

Furnace location Notes
Al-Kharid This furnace is located just a little north of the bank. It is very close to a bank and is excellent for players with many ores in their bank. This is the recommended furnace to use.
Falador This furnace is located south of the centre. It is very close to both the east bank and the west bank. This is also a recommended furnace, though Al-Khaird's furnace is slightly closer to a bank.
Lumbridge This furnace is located north of Lumbridge castle. It is very far from a bank, so if a player wants to smelt fast, this furnace is not recommended to use.
Wilderness, Level 28 Located in the wilderness at level 28, it is only used for the mines in the wilderness. Players using this furnace can no longer be killed by other players due to the fact that the wilderness has been removed and replaced by PVP worlds. (This furnace is dangerous due to the Revenants)

Pay To Play Furnaces[edit]

Below is some information about furnaces available in the member worlds. Members can use the four furnaces on the free servers or use the other seven furnaces in the member parts of RuneScape.

To smith, players need to find anvils. Anvils are labeled on a player's mini-map, which is in the top right corner of the game's window. An anvil is shown on the mini-map as a small anvil with a circle around it. It is recommended that players smith their bars by having many bars in their bank. Doing this allows players to get faster xp then mining ores, smelting the ores, and then hammering the bars.

It is recommended that both free players and members use the anvils south of Varrock's west bank.

To smith a bar, players have to use the bar with the anvil. A menu will then pop up and ask them what they want to make. If a player right-click's on the picture of what they want to make, they can select how much of the item they want to make. Different smithing levels are required to make different items.

Below are tables with information about smithing and what players can create. It is important to note that black armour and weapons cannot be smithed.

Tips[edit]

  • Players should always use a furnace that is close to a bank. For free players, they should use Al-Kharid's furnace or Falador's furnace. For members, they should use Port Phasmatys' furnace if they have finished the Ghosts Ahoy quest. If they have not, then they should use East Ardougne's furnace, Falador's furnace, or Al-Kharid's furnace.
  • For smelting, it is recommended that players mine as many ores as they want and bank them all, not mine 28 ores, smelt them, and then smith them. This way, a player can go from a bank to a furnace, smelt their ores, and then go back to the bank and repeat. This is much faster than mining and smelting then banking.
  • For smithing, it is recommended that players smelt all of their ores and then smith their bars. This is much faster than smelting 28 ores and then smithing 28 ores.
  • For anvils, both free players and members are recommended to use the anvils south of Varrock's west bank. These anvils are right beside the bank, and smithing bars and be very fast if a player goes from the bank to the anvils, smiths their bars, goes back to the bank, and repeats.

Training[edit]

Free to play training[edit]

Here is a way a free player can raise their smithing level.

Levels 1 to 18

Smelt and smith bronze.

Levels 18 to 48

Smelt and smith iron. However, this will be very slow.

Levels 30 to 48

Smelt and smith steel.

Levels 48 to 99

Smelt and smith steel. Players are recommended that they smith steel plates and then high level alchemy them for a great profit.

Levels 48 to 68

Smelt and smith steel.

Levels 68 to 99

Smelt steel bars. This is a very steady process, and should be done at furnaces such as the Al-Kharid furnace. At the time of writing this, you can make things faster by buying both the iron and coal needed, and still make money when you're done.

If you want to, you may also smelt and/or smith mithril. It will cost more money, but you can also make some money, as with the steel. If you wish to smith mithril, smith platebodies, and high alch them. This generates profit, as it costs only 1 nature rune per platebody, and if you use a fire staff, then there's no need to spend money on fire runes.

Many players prefer to make steel plates to level up their smithing level. This is great as the ores to make steel are easy to obtain, plus the smithing experience from the plates is great.
