Smithing

Smithing is heat on the rework furnace. This page is the RuneScape sheet. Blast Furnace and platebody spam are Old School.

Smithing in RuneScape

Words on this page

Heat: the furnace bar you keep up. Rework: bars that match your level. Blast Furnace: the other game.

Unlock

Use the same rework. Heat is the bar on the furnace. A higher bar wants your Smithing level, not a coal bag from the other game.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Smith bronze and iron on the rework furnace.
    Place
    Stand at the Burthorpe furnace if you started there.
    Click
    Click the ore and keep the heat up.
    Leave
    Leave a shop full of platebodies.
  • Mid

    Method
    Smith the next bar on that progress.
    Place
    Stand at the furnace.
    Click
    Click unfinished items back into the heat.
    Leave
    Leave the platebody pile.
  • Late

    Method
    Smith the bar the wiki ranks, and keep the heat up.
    Place
    Stand at that furnace.
    Click
    Click until the bar is done.
    Leave
    Leave burial armour unless the live page still lists it.

Inventory

Wear a smithing suit if you own it. Use the best hammer. Protean bars only if you already own them. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Bars you will use are not a waste. Junk you cannot wear is. Check the wiki.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear a smithing suit if you own it. Use the best hammer. Protean bars only if you already own them.

Mistakes

Do not paste the Blast Furnace from Old School. Do not smith a stack of platebodies you will not wear.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.

Official notes

XP rates move. Use the live wiki for the number. This page is the route.
