Smithing

Smithing is considered as one of the hardest and most expensive skills, because the xp rates are low and the bars require a lot of time to smelt and gather. The Smithing skill uses the ores obtained with the Mining skill to smelt bars and smith items out of them on an anvil. For nearly every bar you need several ores to refine it and for nearly every item you need multiple bars, thus the Smithing skill requires high amounts of ores to advance.
To smelt bars, players can use one of the ores on a Furnace or use the Superheat Item spell from the Normal spellbook which require a Magic level of 43 to start smelting bars. In Emps-World the iron ores will turn into iron bars with a success rate of 100%.
The Smithing skill has a maximum level of 128 and allow players to save up to 2.4% from all reparation fees.
Smithing/Smelting
To start smithing you need bars and a hammer bought from the general store. Find an anvil, for example in Varrock, use the bar on the anvil and an interface will appear asking you what item you'd like to smith.
Smithing items that require more bars at the same time will speed up smithing a full inventory of bars, but smithing arrowheads or bolts might be more profitable.
Below is a smithing experience table of the amount of smithing experience that you can gain from every bar you smith and the minimum level you need for smithing it. Full tables of what item you can smith on what level, how many bars they require to make and how much XP they will grant can be found on the bars' respective pages.
