Smithing is one of several skills in RuneScape Classic. It allows players to make armour and weapons to sell to other players or to use for themselves.

Unlike Mining, Fishing, and Woodcutting, which are gathering skills, Smithing is a production skill. It takes raw materials obtained from a gathering skill, in this case mining, and makes something else. It is popular because it can make a profit, and lets you provide equipment for you and your friends.

Smithing has two distinct parts: smelting, which is taking the ores from Mining and turning them into metal bars, and forging, which is taking those bars and turning them into metal items.

Tools[]

Although most of the times the Smithing skill requires for players to make use of the hammer, there are some additional tools that they may seldomly make use of. The Gauntlets of goldsmithing is a quest reward from Family Crest and although the cannon ammo mould is tradable, players still need to have completed the Dwarf Cannon quest to make use of it.

Hammer Hammer Used to make armour and weapons.
Gauntlets of goldsmithing Gauntlets of goldsmithing Worn when making gold bars to get better experience rates.
Cannon ammo mould Cannon ammo mould Used to make multi cannon balls.

Smelting[]

A player smelting steel. A coal bubble is visible above their head.

Once you've acquired all the ores you need, you need to smelt them into bars.

Furnace locations consist of:

The Al Kharid furnace is considered to be the most efficient because of its small distance from the bank.

Below is a table of bars, experience, and ores required:

Trivia[]

  • Coal can be used on a furnace with iron ore in the player's inventory to smelt steel bars. This does not work with any other bar which requires coal to create.
  • "Bluerose13x" is the first known player to reach level 99 Smithing. [1]
  • If a player were to mine their own ores entirely, they would accrue approximately 39.7 million Mining XP (this is calculated using various Smithing methods, mostly by Smithing steel platebodies) [Clarify]
