n. Smithing - [03In]

Learn how to level up your Smithing skill in Old School RuneScape. This guide covers bronze, iron, steel, and higher-level bars, including mining, smithing, and selling tips.

Smithing isn't very easy to level up, especially at higher levels. To start off, you will need to smith bronze stuff. 1 tin and 1 copper equals 1 bronze bar. What I like to do is take it one step at a time. By that, I mean first, get a lot of tin and copper. Don't go to a furnace as soon as you get like 1 inventory full. Mine in a place near a bank, get like 100 or so, and keep storing it in the bank. See there aren't many places with a mining site, furnace, and anvils all together. Mine in a place like Varrock, store the tin and copper in bank. Once you get a lot, go to a place with a furnace close to a bank. Al Kharid or Falador is good. Once you made all the ores into bars, you will need to go to an anvil. Make sure to have a hammer, you will need it to smith the bars into weapons and stuff. The easiest thing to make is a dagger. Now make all the bars into weapons and stuff, and then sell the things. Some people might drop the things thinking it's useless, but selling it takes less time then dropping them all. A special store like a sword shop or shield shop buys for more than general stores, so you should sell to those stores.

Once you can make iron at level 15, smith iron! Iron would be the best pay to go up in smithing levels, but it has a 50% chance of becoming a bar. So you can stick to bronze if you want. There is a magic called superheat item (level 43 magic) that makes iron into a bar every time. However, you need high magic, and it's not very worth it, as you have to use a nature rune. Silver is at level 20, but you should only make silver bars if selling to someone, or to raise crafting levels (holy symbols). They don't give good exp, and are hard to get. Steel is at level 30, and what most high level smithers prefer to raise levels. You need 1 iron and 2 coal for 1 steel bar. They're much harder to get, since you need coal. Mithril, addy, and rune, all need coal with the bar. 4 coal for mith, 6 for addy, 8 for rune. Gold is like silver, not usually used for smithing levels, just crafting.
