The Smithing Guide in Runescape

Introduction

Smithing is a production skill in which players make a wide variety of metal items from raw ore and purified bars of metal. It is the companion skill of Mining, which generates all of the raw materials used in Smithing.

Smelting

The first step in making your own armor or weapons, is to smelt your ore into bars. To do this, go to any one of the furnaces located in towns all over the land of Runescape. When you have the ore in your inventory, simply click on the furnace to start smelting.
