 This is the ironman / hardcore ironman Smithing guide, the guide for regular players can be found here.

Smithing is a production skill through which players may create a wide variety of metal items from ore and metal bars. It is the companion skill of Mining, as the ores are acquired from Mining are smelted into metal bars at furnaces, and then hammered into items at anvils. Many smithable items are useful for combat, completing clue scrolls and can even be used to make a lot of money.

Getting Supplies

In order to train Smithing, you will need a hammer, and the ores that you will be working with. To get a hammer, you will need to go to North Neitiznot to get here click on the world map button.

Once there, talk to Miner Magnus to buy a pickaxe and a hammer.

The ores will have to be obtained by Mining them yourself.

Training Smithing

Smelting

Smelting is the process of turning ore into smithable bars, to do this a player must click on a furnace and select which bar they want to create. Unlike Runescape, you do not need coal to smelt any of the materials. This means you can make steel bars with a single iron ore.

Smithing

When you have bars, the next step is to use them on an anvil to transform them into either weapons/armours or coins. Making bars into coins is not only a good way to get money, but also gives the most experience.

Where to Train

There are two places that are decent for training Smithing.

North Neitiznot

The first is North Neitiznot, although there is no bank here. This is the best place for non-donators to both Smelt and Smith your materials and this also allows you to train Mining at the same time.

Donator Zone

The Donator Zone is available to Donators only, this area is far better for training Smithing, than anywhere else. This is not only because there are the rocks for Mining outside, but there is also a bank nearby. The furnace, and anvil are located in the small room just north of the bank.
