How to Smith in Runescape
Smithing is the fine art of turning bars of metal ore into various other objects, including armor, weapons and runes. In Runescape, you must first mine or buy the ore you need and smelt it, or turn it into bars from raw ore. Learning to smith can make your player a valuable commodity to other players, who may pay you for your ability to make objects for them.

Tips & Warnings
You can buy Dwarven Stout, a drink that will raise your smith and mining levels by 1 point for a short period of time, in the city of Falador in the Rising Sun bar.
Mining practice will increase your mining skill level, so don't stop with the minimum amount of ore you need.
Make sure you have all types of ore needed to make the bars you want. For example, you only need iron ore to make iron bars, but bronze bars require both copper and tin.
Smelting, or turning the metal ores into bars with a furnace, will result in bars of ore 100 percent of the time. The exception to this is iron, which will only become iron bars 50 percent of the time.
