Smithing, while straightforward, offers a variety of options for training including grinding, questing through the blast furnace as well as Smithing bar and making gear. It's simply a valuable aspect to master. There are many methods to master this ability, and each will be dependent on what your goals are. Whatever your goals are however, you're likely going to want to get started with The Knight's Quest in this OSRS Smithing Guide.
The 1-99 Smithing guide is teaching you several good ways to go about Smithing training no matter what Smithing level you are at or what level you're trying to improve to. This guide will teach you the fastest method and other methods for 99 Smithing in RuneScape 2007. We'll begin by introducing some quests that could be completed to earn Smithing XP which can make an enormous difference in your early levels. Then, I'll explain some ways to make money and ways to make money on your way to 99.
What is the reason I should do The Knight's Quest?
This is an average-length adventure (about three hours of playtime) and can take you all the way to level 29 starting at level 1 and is fast or faster than could be achieved by grinding bronze objects. I'm a big proponent of questing for levels if you're looking to begin because:
They're much more engaging and fun than working for experience low levels and at low rates.
It is likely that you will do them in the future which is why it's beneficial to do them even though the rewards will be useful compared to the time you reach higher levels.
What if I don't want to do The Knight's Quest?
There's always the option to make things the old-fashioned way. If you're purchasing the supplies, Smithing will be far more costly to train, but for many players, this is a cost-effective investment if you plan on using the Blast Furnace (more on that in the future.) If you're purchasing items and bronze bars or if you've stashed some ore from mining it, you'll need tin and bronze to make bronze bars. I would not suggest buying ore because they're costlier than bars, and your rates of experience are better when you have the highest level bronze item that you can purchase per bar, instead of making half a supply that includes bronze bar. I suggest making bronze objects straight to level 25 or 30 as it's more cost-effective as opposed to switching to iron midway through. When you've reached the level 30 you're ready to go onto your blast furnace.
The Best Equipment for Smithing
There are two kinds of methods every player should know in order to gain knowledge about the skill: Smelting or Smithing. Smelting will require you to have ores in your inventory which you'll then put in the furnace. After that, the ores will turn into bars. In contrast, Smithing is much more advanced and will require the following items:
Bars - To begin doing some Smithing at all, you'll need to have the bars you need in your inventory. They can be obtained from mining ores that are smelted or purchased at the Grand Exchange.
Hammer - You can purchase the Hammer at the General Store or the Grand Exchange. The Hammer is an essential piece of equipment that is used to make the bars into armor and weapons.
What About the Blast Furnace?
To gain access to the Blast Furnace, it is necessary to be at the very least in The Giant Dwarf quest. Once you've completed it you'll be in a position to gain access to Keldagrim any time by making use of the hole located in the northwest corner inside the Grand Exchange to travel there through the minecart system. In the Blast Furnace Blast Furnace is located in inside the lower levels of the house, just north of the minecart tracks.
Most players make one mistake prior to starting using the Blast Furnace, which is not having the necessary requirements to be able to use it. If you're making use of the computerized worlds (358 or 386) which means that you'll pay over 12,000 GP in the 10 minutes you plan to use the Blast Furnace in addition to 2500 additional GP if you're below Smithing level 60. In spite of this, you could still make a profit of more than 500 thousand GP per hour if you are aware of how to operate. The trick is cutting down on time wasted by as much as possible. Runescape can be described as a sport of efficiency. It is possible to get usage of the Blast Furnace without following this order, but for you to be the most efficient, you'll need to follow the steps below.
How do I improve my efficiency in the Blast Furnace?
Stamina potion (or Stamina potions (or Graceful costume). The Blast furnace is a demanding job that requires that you run between two places, so you'll need to make most of your time by wearing a dress that is elegant and utilising Stamina potions for boosting your energy. Make sure to carry stamina potions, as you do not wish to spend your valuable time (and the money) walking.
Get some Ice gloves. This is the most efficient investment that you can do to save yourself one inventory space each journey (as you don't need to carry a bucket of water.) While that might not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, it's an enormous amount, since you can easily do more than 100 furnace runs in an hour, meaning you'll be losing at least 150,000 GP per hour if you're producing steel bars. This is a huge cut into your profit margin and highlights the importance of every second at the blast furnace. You have to kill The Ice Queen located below White Wolf Mountain for your Ice gloves. There's a safe place in the southeast corner of her room, but you shouldn't be in any trouble if you're combat is higher than 45.
Purchase an coal bag. It's a long-term investment and is especially important if you've never spent a lot of time digging in the Motherload Mine in the past, but it's a necessity should you plan to turn an impressive profit. Without a coal bag you'll have to do separate trips for every inventory of bars you want to create. It's not necessary to deal about this if you're smithing gold bars. The coal bag can be purchased in 100 nuggets of gold from the mine that is motherload.
Get Goldsmith Gauntlets. If you're planning on working with gold bars and may have heard of the rumored 300k+ exp/hour rates It is not a good idea to make a mistake by not wearing these gloves. The goldsmith gauntlets provide you an experience that is twice as good as Smithing gold bars and you can't afford not to be using these gloves. The goldsmith gauntlets are an reward for your Family Crest quest.
Important Smithing Locations
As your inventory is likely to be filled with bars and ores when Smithing will require you to visit the Bank frequently, and keep this in mind. Here are the top places to learn your Smithing ability:
For Anvils
Yanille The Yanille anvils in Yanille. South part of the Yanille bank.
Tai Bwo Wannai The Tai Bwo wannai an anvil located near the Northern Hut at Tai Bwo Wannai. But, you'll have to complete a specific quest to unlock this place.
Varrock - Anvils are located at Varrock's Western banking area of Varrock. This is the ideal location for this listing because there's a bank located near the anvils.
For Furnaces
Edgeville - Close by Edgeville's bank Edgeville is the location of a furnace. By wearing Varrock armor in this area there is the chance to smelt 2 bars instead of one. This location is close to the bank, and does not require completing the Varrock diary to use the furnace.
Falador The location is East part of the Falador bank to reach the furnace. The only downside to this area is that you'll have to run around quite a bit.
Al-Kharid – Go to the North of the Al-Kharid Bank to locate the furnace. This is an ideal location for F2P players because there's an nearby bank.
Happy Smithing!
With all of these elements already in place, you're up to earn a huge profit from the Blast Furnace. However, should you only be interested in the rate of experience, then it's best to utilize the goldsmith gauntlets. Smithing gold once you reach level 40. It can be quite expensive, tallying over 50 million GP between level 40 and level 99. However, it might be worth it to boost your skill level up! Thanks for visiting the OSRS Smithing Guide!
