Smithing

Smithing is a production skill that allows players to smelt ores into bars at a furnace and forge those bars into weapons, armor, tools, and crossbow limbs at an anvil.

Getting Started

Smithing has two components:

1. Smelting: Use a furnace to convert ores into metal bars
2. Forging: Use an anvil to craft bars into equipment

Smelting

Use a furnace to smelt ores into bars. Each bar type requires a minimum Smithing level.

Crossbow Limbs

Crossbow limbs are combined with logs and string through Fletching. Each set takes one matching bar and 8 seconds to smith.

Utility Items

The anvil also makes Farming tools and combines Skeleton Key halves.

Bronze Equipment

Iron Equipment

Mithril Equipment

Adamant Equipment

Viridium Equipment

Emberite Equipment

Training Tips

1. Levels 1-15: Smelt Bronze Bar and smith Bronze equipment. Swords and helms each need only 1 bar.
2. Levels 15-30: Switch to Iron Bar smelting and smithing.
3. Levels 30-45: Work with Mithril Bar for better XP rates.
4. Levels 45-60: Adamant Bar provides strong XP gains.
5. Levels 60-75: Smelt Viridium Bar and forge Viridium equipment.
6. Level 75+: Emberite Bar gives the best XP but requires significant material investment.

Time Efficiency

• Smelting: varies by bar tier (4s–9s per bar)
• Smithing: 8 seconds for crossbow limbs and utility tools; 10 seconds for most equipment

All smithing operations can be queued - select the item to craft, choose a quantity, and your character will continue until materials run out or you cancel.
