Type:	Artisan

Level 120:	Throne of the Herald Expansion

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).

Mechanics

All Smithing actions take a base time of 2 seconds. This can be reduced by 15% by purchasing the Art of Control upgrade, up to 5% with Iridan ( Level 60), and by 0.3 seconds while the Pig + Salamander Synergy is in use. All of these interval reductions combined bring the action time down to 1.3 seconds, the minimum possible in the base game.

The Throne of the Herald Expansion introduces further interval reductions: Blacksmiths Gloves provide a 0.1 second reduction when equipped, Mountain Trail reduces the action time by 0.2 seconds, the Salamander + Eagle Synergy provides a 20% reduction (0.1 seconds greater than Pig + Salamander), 3% with the Elite Pillar of Expertise, and 2% once Harold is unlocked. The lowest possible action time in the expansion is therefore 0.8 seconds.

Skill experience gained while Smithing may be increased significantly with the use of Smithing Gloves, providing a 60% experience increase. These gloves may be purchased from the Shop at a cost of 100,000 for 500 charges. Smithing gloves are later superseded by Blacksmiths Gloves, which in addition to a 75% skill experience bonus provide +3% Smithing mastery experience and reduce the action time by 0.1 seconds.

Skill Boosts

- Main article: Smithing 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.
