. The table below shows how many bars you need to smelt and then use to create items with in order to reach the next threshold.

Mastery

bonuses for Mithril and Runite otherwise. The numbers below are without XP bonuses, except for the Smithing Gloves. With bonuses, the number of required bars is lower.

Details

The number of bars was calculated by using the "Melvor Idle Rate & Resource Calculator" by Kidbiz20 from Spreadsheets and Theorycrafting and then adjusting the number from the column "Resources to Level X" by the fact that we account for the XP from the bars that are need for the items. For instance, to go from level 40 to 55, you need 2,589 Mithril Bars if you craft items. If you account for the XP from the required bars then it's [math]\displaystyle{ x\times 50 + x\times35 = 2589\times 50 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ x = 1523 }[/math].

Level	Item	Quantity Required
		Without Gloves	With Gloves
1-10	Bronze Bar	78	49
10-30	Iron Bar	437	274
30-40	Silver Bar	1,591	995
40-70	Mithril Bar	8,241	5,151
70-99	Runite Bar	98,375	61,485
