Learn how to level up your Smithing skill in Old School RuneScape! Discover different bars, ores, and the items you can smith to gain experience.

Alright, so Smithing in Old School RuneScape is pretty straightforward, and it pairs up nicely with Mining. Basically, you mine ores, and then you use those ores to smith all sorts of cool weapons and armor. Let's break down what you can make and how to get the most out of it.

Different Bars

Here's a look at the different bars you can smith, what ores they need, and the experience you'll get:

Name	Lvl	Exp.	Primary Ore	Second Ore	Use
Bronze	1	6.25	Copper	Tin	Smithing Bronze
Iron	15	12.5	Iron Ore	None	Smithing Iron
Silver	20	13.5	Silver (Nugget)	None	Crafting Silver
Steel	30	17.5	Iron Ore	Coal(2)	Smithing Steel
Gold	40	22.5	Gold (Nugget)	None	Crafting Gold
Mithril	50	30	Mithril Ore	Coal(4)	Smithing Mithril
Adamantite	70	37.5	Adamantite Ore	Coal(6)	Smithing Adamantite
Rune	85	50	Runeit Ore	Coal(8)	Smithing Rune

Quick Notes on Bars:

• Iron bars have a chance of failing when you smelt them. If you use the 'Superheat Item' spell on Iron Ore, you'll get a 100% success rate.
• If you smelt Gold in the Crafting Gauntlets, you'll get double experience, which can be up to 45 XP per bar.
• To smith bars, you'll need the required ores and a furnace. Just click on the primary ore and then on the furnace.
