Smithing

Smithing is a production skill through which players create a wide variety of metal items from ore and metal bars. It is the companion skill of Mining, which generates raw materials used in Smithing. Ores acquired from Mining are smelted into metal bars at furnaces, and then hammered into items at anvils. Many smithable items are useful in combat, quests, and the training of a number of other skills such as Crafting and Fletching.

Smelting

• The Engineer silver relic, should be purchased prior to smelting, as it will halve the amount of coal a player needs to make bars.
• The Coal Bag can be purchased from the Dungeoneering Rewards shop, or from the Web Store. The amount of coal that can be stored in the coal bag will increase with donator rank.
• Smelting should be done at the Lovakengj House, as the furnace is a few steps from the bank.
• If a coal bag is not being used, the player should utilize a preset to automatically reload their inventory.
• Smelting gold ore with gold smithing gauntlets (can be purchased from the vote shop) is a very cheap and AFK way to train smithing, and can be started at level 40.

Anvil Smithing

• Anvil smithing should also be trained at the Lovakengj House, as the anvil is a few steps from the bank.
• It is recommended to make dart tips, as these can then be fletched into darts to train fletching and are also needed for several tasks.
• The best two options for anvil smithing will be darts (to use for fletching and tasks) or plate bodies, as plate bodies require the most bars, and give the most XP/hr.

Boilers

• Boilers are in the Lava Flow Mine minigame teleport.
• They occasionally break, anywhere between 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Only one boiler can be broken at a time.
• They require between 70-90 smithing to repair, and give roughly the same XP as a small lamp.
• This is a good passive way to train smithing once you have made it into the 80s, as you will be able to repair most of the boilers that break.
