This is the Ironman/ Hardcore Ironman Smithing Guide, the guide for regular players is found Here.

Introduction

Smithing is the art of turning metal bars into armour or weapons. As you gain a higher smithing level, you are able to make higher-level armour and weaponry. If you achieve a high smithing level, you may never have to buy armour again.

This guide will teach you some of the best and fastest methods of reaching 99 smithing, and even teach you how to make some money on the way there.

How to Start

Your best bet is to use the Neitiznot teleport in your Map Teleport, and go to "North Neitiznot". Once there, talk to "Miner Magnus" to buy a pickaxe and a hammer.

Using the Bars

• Ironmen should smith the bars into coins. Not only is this great money, but also the best experience
• Hardcore Ironmen cannot make to coins, so the experience given is based off smithing to an item with a single bar.
