Learn RuneScape Smithing! Discover ores, bars, and the best items to smith for experience, from Bronze Daggers to Rune Platebodies. Your complete guide.

Hey there! So, you're looking to get into Smithing in RuneScape? Awesome! It's a super useful skill that goes hand-in-hand with Mining. Basically, you'll be mining ores and then using a furnace to turn them into all sorts of cool weapons and armor. Let's break down what you need to know.

First off, let's talk about the different bars you can smith. Each one requires specific ores, and some need a bit of Coal to help things along. The higher the level, the better the bar, and the more experience you'll get!

Name	Lvl	Exp.	Primary Ore	Second Ore	Use
Bronze	1	6.25	Copper	Tin	Smithing Bronze
Iron	15	12.5	Iron Ore	None	Smithing Iron
Silver	20	13.5	Silver	None	Crafting Silver
Steel	30	17.5	Iron Ore	Coal(2)	Smithing Steel
Gold	40	22.5	Gold	None	Crafting Gold
Mithril	50	30	Mithril Ore	Coal(4)	Smithing Mithril
Adamantite	70	37.5	Adamantite Ore	Coal(6)	Smithing Adamantite
Rune	85	50	Runeit Ore	Coal(8)	Smithing Rune

Quick Notes on Bars:

• Iron bars have a chance to fail when you smelt them. If you're using the 'Superheat Item' spell on Iron Ore, you'll get a 100% success rate, which is pretty handy!
• Smelting Gold bars in the Crafting Gauntlets gives you double experience, bumping it up to about 45 XP per bar. Nice bonus!
• To smith any bar, you'll need the required ores and a furnace. Just click on the primary ore and then on the furnace to get started.

Now, let's look at what you can actually make with these bars. The higher the level requirement for an item, the more experience you'll get for smithing it. It's all about balancing the materials needed with the XP you gain.
