OSRS Smithing training guide

Smithing turns Mining output into bars, equipment, ammunition, and Sailing parts. Methods range from very fast Blast Furnace gold to resource-efficient Giants' Foundry.

Quick tip: Quest into the high 30s, then choose between maximum speed, Foundry efficiency, or useful bar production.

Before committing supplies

Important method warnings

  • Goldsmith Gauntlet rates assume efficient Blast Furnace banking.
  • Cannonball value must include production time.
  • Smithing profit changes with ore, bar, and item prices.
  • Costs and profit margins are price-sensitive. Recalculate before buying supplies for a long grind.
