Smelting

The first step in making your own armor or weapons, is to smelt your ore into bars. To do this, go to any one of the furnaces located in towns all over the land of Runescape. When you have the ore in your inventory, simply click on the furnace to start smelting.



You can also use magic to smelt your bars if that is more your style by using the level 43 spell "Superheat Item" It requires 1 Nature rune and 4 Fire runes to cast this spell. Below you can find a list of the different bars you can smelt, and the required ores to do so.

Smelting Table
Name	Image	Level to Smelt	Experience Gained	Primary Ore	Secondary Ore(s)	Notes
Bronze bar		1	6.2	Copper Ore	Tin Ore	None
Blurite bar		8	8	Blurite ore	None	The Knight's Sword must be completed to make this bar
Elemental bar		20	7.5	Elemental ore	4 Coal	The Elemental Workshop I must be completed to make this bar
Iron bar		15	12.5	Iron ore	None	While attempting to smith Iron ore, there is a 50% chance that the ore will be too impure to make a bar. For more information, refer to the Useful Equipment section.
Silver bar		20	13.7	Silver ore	None	None
Steel bar		30	17.5	Iron ore	2 Coal	None
Gold bar		40	22.5	Gold Ore	None	None
Mithril Bar		50	30	Mithril Ore	4 Coal	None
Adamantite bar		70	37.5	Adamantite Ore	6 Coal	None
Runite bar		85	50	Runite Ore	8 Coal	None

The next, and final step in making your own armour/weapons is to use an anvil. Simply use your bar with the anvil and you will get a pop-up box (shown below). All you have to do is click on the item you wish to smith. You can smith items in multiples of 1, 5, x, or Smith all. Please note that you need a hammer and the required bars in your inventory to make anything.

Below, you can find tables of all items that you can smith, from bronze to rune.

Useful Equipment

Some items will help increase your smithing experience, its effectiveness, and even provide extra places/tricks to help make your smithing experience much easier. Below you will find these special equipments:

Name	Image	Requirements	Effect(s)
Dwarven stout		None	This simple drink will raise your Smithing and Mining level by one.
Ring of forging		None	If you wear the Ring of Forging, you will have a 100% success rating when smelting Iron ore into Iron bars. This is much better then about the 50% chance you have without it. The ring will only work for 140 ore before it will disintegrate.
Goldsmith gauntlets		The Family Crest	If worn while smelting gold ore into gold bars, you will gain 56.25 experience compared to the normal 22.5 experience.
Varrock armour (1) (2) (3)		Achievement Diary: Varrock	If you wear these while you smelt ore at the Edgeville furnace, you have a chance of smelting two bars at once. If worn while you smith on an anvil, you also have a chance of smithing two bars at once. Please note that this bonus only affects certain metals based on the level of the armor.

Blast Furnace

Those who are Members have access to an enjoyable mini-game that makes Smelting-and-Smithing a bearable task; the Blast Furnace. In-fact, don’t think you’re alone on this; this is a team effort to make everything run smoothly. It is suggested that you are on a Blast Furnace world, so others can help out run it. The Blast Furnace is located under a building at south-east area of Keldagrim, north of the mine-carts.

To learn how to play it, please read our Blast Furnace Mini-Game Guide.

Current Blast Furnace world: World 58

As the current Blast Furnace world is 58, it is highly recommended for you to play it there. The more players there will be, the faster games you will have.

Repairing your Armor

Rusty Swords

When pickpocketing HAM members, exploring in the Digsite, or just searching in random boxes, you may run across Rusty swords. If you have a whetstone or armour repair stand in the workshop of your Player owned House, you can restore these swords to their former glory. All you need to do is use the Rusty sword with the repair equipment. Its possible to receive any type of normal or long sword, from Bronze to Mithril by doing this. There is also a chance that you may damage the item beyond repair, and never be able to fix it. You will also gain 25 Smithing experience for every sword successfully repaired.

Damaged and Broken armor

You may also run across Damaged armour, the same way you would acquire a Rusty sword. Just like the swords, Damaged armour can also be repaired. You will need to have an armour repair stand in your Player owned House to do so. Fixing Damaged armour will result in a platebody (Bronze to Mithril), while fixing Broken armour will result in you receiving platelegs or plateskirts (Bronze to Mithril). Just like Rusty swords, there is a chance that you can damage these items beyond repair. You will also receive 25 Smithing experience for each piece of armour successfully repaired.

Barrows

You can also repair your own Barrows equipment in your house at a discounted price. You will need to bring both your damaged piece of armor and some Coins to any armor repair stand. (Requires 55+ Construction) The discount you received, compared to paying someone else to fix it, is based on your own smithing level. All you have to do is divide your smithing level by 2 to find out the percentage you'll save. For example; If you had a smithing level of 50, you would simple divide by 2, resulting in a savings of 25%.

Training

First of all, always smelt your bars at Al Kharid, which has the shortest distance from bank to furnace for free-play worlds. Always smith your bars into armor in Varrock, from west bank to the anvils just south of it. This is the shortest distance between anvil and bank for free servers.

Level 1 - 29

Bronze, of course. Begin by making bars of bronze in the hundreds, maybe 300 or so. Smith them into the best bronze you can make. Once you have 30 or so smithing, you can switch to iron.

Level 30 - 46

Now its time for iron. As with bronze, collect hundreds of iron, then smith all the bars at once. If you are a member, get a ring of forging so that the 50 percent chance of failing is canceled. Do not smith them until you reach 33 smithing. that is when you can make the iron into iron plate bodies, which can be sold to the general store or the armorer in Varrock for a decent amount of gp. Continue making iron plate bodies, and making 100's of iron bars at a time, until you have reached 47 smithing.

At level 40, you can try smithing gold ore into bars. However, this is very expensive, and it's better to wait until higher levels.

Level 47 - 69

It's time for steel. It will become significantly harder and harder to level up at this point, so it may bore you. Like before, you should make your bars in the hundreds- collecting 1000 coal and 500 iron is a good place to stop getting the ores and making bars. When you have 48 smithing, make the bars into steel plate bodies. Now, if you are mining your own ores, you will make some decent cash. You can sell steel plate bodies in bulk to people with 55 magic for 1000-900 gp each- they use high alchemy on them to train magic. Continue making steel plates. This may be the best way to train smithing for a while. You probably shouldn't train using mithril until you can make mithril platebodies, which go for 3000 each for high-alching.

If you are a member, a good way to train smithing is probably by making cannonballs. You can buy steel bars for 600-650 each, make them into cannonballs, then sell the cannonballs for 200 each. Each bar makes four cannonballs, so you make 150 gp profit each bar!

If you have a smithing level in the high-mid 60s or higher, and 43 magic, a good idea is to go into the hobgoblin mines in the wilderness, or mining guild, and make mithril bars there. Bring a fire staff, your pickaxe, nature runes, and teleportation runes if you are mining in the hobgoblin mines. Mine mithril and coal ore, and cast superheat item to make the ores into mithril bars. Then, store them in the bank and start over. This is a good way to get mithril bars and to train magic/smithing without a lot of walking.

Level 70+

Now you are in rank with the big boys. The fastest way to train would be smelting gold with the Goldsmithing Gauntlets, but that will cost a lot. Cannonballs are also good exp, and will make you money. There is not much more to know if you have made it this far, but just continue to buy ores and smith, smith, smith. It will get boring so you will probably want to train other skills as breaks.
