Smithing
Training Smithing
Level 1 to 15 - Bronze Bars
From level 1 to 15 Smithing, you will be smelting and then smithing Bronze bars. These can be smelted by combining 1 tin ore and 1 copper ore in a furnace. A good place to do this is the Skilling Zone (::sz).
Level 15 to 40 - Iron Bars
From level 15 to 40 Smithing, you will be smelting Iron bars. These can be smelted by consuming 1 iron ore in a furnace. At level 15, Iron bars have a 50% chance to successfully smelt. Using a Ring of Forging will guarantee a successful smelt of an iron bar. A good place to do this is the Skilling Zone (::sz).
Level 40 to 99 - Gold Bars
From level 40 to 99 Smithing, you can smelt gold bars at the blast furnace.
Gold bars provide the fastest Smithing XP only if you have Goldsmith Gauntlets. These gauntlets can be purchased in the Skilling shop for 1,500 Skilling Points.
Gold Bar Alternative
If you do not have Goldsmith Gauntlets and are unwilling to make the purchase, your best option for training Smithing is to create the highest-level item from the highest-level bar you can currently smelt. See the table under the Smelting tab for more information on the hierarchy of bars.
