Introduction

Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a primitive fantasy game. As such, it borrows several medieval themes; castles, knights, kings, etc. Also, Blacksmithing was a significant factor in the medieval period, and so was Smithing.

OSRS has several medieval themes, like castles, knights, kings, etc. With the help of the OSRS Smithing guide, it will be easy to build your weapon and armour and advance your valuable skills quickly and easily.

Why Train Smithing?

Smithing is an extremely valuable skill within OSRS since you can create armour and weapons. The skill benefits iron man accounts because you can’t purchase the next-tier armour. Or you will have to smith them yourself.

Similarly, you can generate top-tier weapons from monster drops. For instance, you can create a god sword blade by fusing all three god sword shards that need level 80 Smithing. Likewise, the skill is required for high-level challenges like Dragon Slayer II.

Useful Smithing Items

Smithing can take plenty of time to train and become expensive till level 99. Thus, you may use any items that could help boosts XP gains.

While temporary boosts will let you go to the next training bracket much more swiftly and earn further experience, having these items on your list is essential, and you must go out of your way to access them.

There are a few useful Smithing items in OSRS:

Goldsmith Gauntlets

The gauntlets are 1 of 3 rewards after finalizing the Family Crest quest. The goldsmith gauntlets will improve the experience of smelting gold ore from 22.5 XP to 56.2 XP.

Furthermore, they can be acquired from Avan in the Al Kharid Mine. So, give him magical steel gauntlets or steel gauntlets to obtain the goldsmith gauntlets.

Dwarven Stout

The drink would increase Smithing by level 1 and reduce the Attack and Strength by 3 levels.

Dwarven Stout (M)

The drink will increase Smithing by level 2, reducing Attack, Defense and Strength by level 7.

Spicy Stew – Orange Spice

It will increase your Smithin level by 0-5 randomly.

Kovac’s Grog

Equipment Needed for Smithing

Smithing is the simplest in terms of how to achieve experience. There are two main procedures for elevating the skill – Smelting and Smithing. Smelting will require ores in your inventory that you will put in a furnace.

Later, the ores will turn into bars. Whereas, Smithing is more improved level and may need you to have these items:

Hammer

Such an item can be bought from the Grand Exchange or any General Store. The hammer will be utilized to Smith the bars into weapons or armour.

Bars

To create items, you will need to have bars in your inventory. These are collected from smelting ores or buying from the Grand Exchange.

How to Train Smithing?

Players could train the skill by Smithing weapons and armour or smelting ores, while depending on your goals, the training methods would differ.

For instance, making armour is extremely fast but pricy. On the other hand, smelting ores can make money if you plan to sell the bars.

Smelting Ores

The process of smelting ores is quite simple. All you need is the required ores in your inventory and a furnace. Use the ore in the furnace to create the bars you would like. Here is the list of ores required to create a specific bar:

• Bronze Bar: 1 Copper Ore and 1 Tin Ore
• Blurite Bar: 1 Blurite Ore
• Iron Bar: 1 Iron Ore
• Elemental Bar: 1 Elemental Ore and 4 Coal
• Silver Bar: 1 Silver Ore
• Steel Bar: 1 Iron Ore and 2 Coal
• Gold Bar: 1 Gold Ore
• Lovakite Bar: 1Lovakite Ore and 2 Coal
• Mithril Bar: 1 Mithril Ore and 4 Coal
• Lunar Bar: 1 Lunar Ore
• Adamant Bar: 1 Adamant Bar and 6 Coal
• Runite Bar: 1 Runite Ore and 8 Coal

Smithing

If you decide to make armour or weapons, you will need a hammer and bars in your inventory. In this case, you’ll need an anvil instead of a furnace.

Now, use the hammer on any anvil and choose the item you’d like to make. Currently, there are 7 armour and weapon tiers you can make:

• Bronze
• Iron
• Steel
• Mithril
• Adamant
• Rune

Moreover, all armour and weapons will need different bars to make.

Best Smithing Locations

Smithing will involve you going back a lot because your inventory is repetitively needed to be filled with ores or bars. Here is the list of the best locations to train the skill:

Furnaces

Al-Kharid: North of the Al-Kharid bank is a furnace. This location is superb since you can quickly bank your items and return them to the immediate furnace. Also, this is the best spot for F2P players.

Edgeville: Close by the bank is a furnace that will give a 10% chance to smelt 2 bars if you’re wearing the Varrock armour. This location is the best because it’s the closest to a bank. Likewise, this location no longer requires completing the easy Varrock diary.

Falador: Directly East of the Falador bank is a furnace. This location will require you to run a lot, so we recommend going to Edgeville.

Anvils

Varrock: The Western bank in Varrock has anvils directly South. This is the best location because the bank is right next to the anvils.

Yanille: South of the Yanille bank are anvils not far away.

Tai Bwo Wannai: The Northen hut in Tai Bwo Wannai contains an anvil. However, you will need to complete the quest to unlock this location.
