What is smithing?
Smithing is a production skill through which players may create a wide variety of metal items from ore and metal bars. It is the companion skill of Mining, as the ores are acquired from mining are smelted into metal bars at furnaces, and then hammered into items at anvils. Many smithable items are useful for combat and completing clue scrolls.
Smithing supplies
All you need for smithing, are a hammer, ore and bars.
Hammer
There are different places to get a hammer, but an easy way is to get it from the shop keeper or the shop assistant at north west of bank at Edgeville for 177 coins.
Ores
See the Mining skill how to get ores.
Bars
To get bars, you need to smelt ores at the furnace. As an ironman it's not possible to buy bars from players or the shops.
Making bars
To make bars, you have to smelt ores at the furnace. The most recommended furnaces are at Al Kharid and donator zone, because they are close to a bank.
