Smithing


Smithing is used to turn ore into bars, weapons, armour, and arrowtips. A number of the armour pieces can be upgraded at the cost of GP and Silver or Gold Bars, or Iridium or Palladium Bars in the Throne of the Herald Expansion, resulting in armour with better stats (most importantly Damage Reduction).

An important part of the Smithing skill is the ability to create various metal bars from ores. The ores obtained from mining can be turned into metal bars by smelting them using the smithing skill. These bars can then in turn be used in various other skills to make weapons, armour, jewelery or as materials for upgrades or agility obstacles.

Skill Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

  • Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
  • Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
  • Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
  • Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
  • Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.

For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
