Smithing in Old School RuneScape

Words on this page

Blast Furnace: the fast dwarf furnace in Keldagrim. Coal bag: a Motherlode bag that holds extra coal. Giants' Foundry: the sword minigame.

Unlock

The Giant Dwarf makes the Blast Furnace easy to enter. Sleeping Giants opens the Giants' Foundry. A coal bag from the Motherlode helps.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Do the quests, then smith bronze and iron.
    Place
    Stand at a furnace near a bank.
    Click
    Click the ore, then the anvil.
    Leave
    Leave for the Foundry or the Blast Furnace as soon as you can.
  • Mid

    Method
    Smelt steel or mithril at the Blast Furnace, or play the Foundry.
    Place
    Stand on the furnace side.
    Click
    Click the bars and keep the coal bag full.
    Leave
    Leave the normal furnace behind.
  • Late

    Method
    Smelt adamant or rune at the Blast Furnace, or make the swords the wiki ranks.
    Place
    Stand at that same furnace.
    Click
    Click until the coal bag is empty, then refill.
    Leave
    Leave platebodies on a normal furnace.

Inventory

Wear the smiths' outfit if you have it. Wear ice gloves at the Blast Furnace. Bring the coal bag. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

The Foundry and the Blast Furnace can pay. Smithing platebodies at a normal furnace usually does not. 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 the smiths' outfit if you have it. Wear ice gloves at the Blast Furnace. Bring the coal bag.

Mistakes

Do not smith rune platebodies on a normal furnace. Do not use the Blast Furnace with no coal bag.

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.
