'''Smithing''' turns mined ore into bars at a Furnace, then bars into wearable gear at an Anvil. The short version: mine ore → smelt it into bars → craft the bars into gear. You earn XP twice for every bar — once when it's smelted, again when it's used in crafting.

Only '''Helmets''' reliably turn a profit if you're buying your bars outright — Platebodies, Platelegs, and Swords all lose gold at Bronze/Iron/Steel tier once the cost of the bars is factored in. Once you reach level 30 and unlock Mithril, everything becomes very profitable, especially the [[Mithril Sword]].

== Getting Equipped ==

* Pickaxes and hammers must be '''equipped''' to mine or smith — carrying them in your bag isn't enough.

* Pickaxes and hammers must be '''equipped''' to mine or smith; carrying them in your bag isn't enough.

* Players start with a [[Copper Pickaxe]] but no hammer; a basic [[Smithing Hammer]] costs 10g.

* Smelting ore into bars doesn't need a hammer — only smithing bars into items does.

* Smelting ore into bars doesn't need a hammer; only smithing bars into items does.

* Pickaxes and hammers can't be crafted; you have to buy them.

* Inventory is 28 slots, and ore, bars, and finished items all take one slot each — nothing here stacks.

== Mining the Ore ==

Full mining routes and rates are covered in the [[Mining Guide]] — this is just the reference table for what Smithing needs.

Mithril and ~~Gold~~ Bars can't be bought at any stall — you either smelt them yourself or buy them from another player.

Mithril, Gold, and Ebony Bars can't be bought at any stall; you either smelt them yourself or buy them from another player.

== Smithing Gear ==

Everything below is crafted at an Anvil. The level to '''wear or wield''' a finished piece is separate from the Smithing level needed to '''craft''' it.

=== Intermediate Components ===

Higher-tier gear (Mining Gloves, Golden Shield Frame, Dusk Knight armour) isn't smithed directly from bars, it needs these Anvil-crafted components first. Bars are shaped into Plates and Rods, and some Plates/Rods are then combined into "Large" versions or Foil.

== Why You Get XP Twice ==

Smithing has two distinct steps — Smelting (ore into bars) and Smithing (bars into gear) — and you get XP for both: once per bar smelted, and again for every bar spent crafting.

For example, a [[~~Mithril Sword~~]] ~~needs 6 Mithril~~ Bars: smelting them gives 6 × ~~155~~ = ~~930~~ XP, and crafting the ~~sword itself~~ gives ~~another 930~~ XP, for 1,~~860~~ XP ~~total~~.

For example, an [[Iron Helmet]] is made from 2 [[Iron Plate]]s (themselves smithed from 4 Iron Bars): smelting those 4 bars gives 4 × 30 = 120 XP, smithing them into 2 Iron Plates gives another 2 × 30 = 60 XP, and crafting the finished helmet gives 80 XP more, for 260 XP total across every stage.

'''A note on the figures below:''' the Iron/Steel/Mithril Helmet, Platebody, Platelegs, and Weapon recipes above were corrected to match the game's real crafting data (they now go through intermediate Plates/Rods instead of raw bars, and a few Smithing level requirements shifted). The XP/hour and profit/hour figures below predate that correction and haven't been re-measured against the new recipes yet, since that needs real playtesting (travel time, vendor prices for the new intermediate materials) rather than a spreadsheet estimate. Treat the numbers below as outdated for Iron/Steel/Mithril Helmets, Platebodies, Platelegs, and Swords until someone re-runs them.

== XP and Profit per Hour ==

These figures assume a full 28-slot inventory per cycle, real travel time between stations, and no downtime — treat them as upper bounds rather than guarantees. Bronze/Iron/Steel routes buy bars and sell finished items at the Blacksmith Stall in [[Valen Gate]] (except Iron Helmets, which are more profitable buying bars at [[Grave Town]] since they're 4g cheaper there). Mithril and Gold routes assume the ore/bars are already banked, since neither can be bought.

Grave Town sells Iron Bars 4g cheaper, so Helmets crafted there are more profitable per hour despite the slower Anvil-to-stall trip.

[[Volcanic Ring]] has a confirmed recipe (see its own page). [[Volcanic Ward]]'s recipe (1x [[Volcanic Core]] + 1x Golden Shield Frame + 2x Gold Bar, level 60, 45s) is known but its exact Smithing XP isn't confirmed yet.

=== Dusk Knight Armour (endgame set, requires the Dusk Knight Schematics Miniquest) ===

Each of the four Dusk Knight pieces is assembled at an Anvil from several smaller sub-components (also crafted at an Anvil), plus [[Ebony Bar]]/[[Ebony Plate]]/[[Large Ebony Plate]]/[[Silver Foil]] and an [[Exquisite Silk Boot Line|Exquisite Silk]] lining. A [[Dusk Knight Schematics]] is consumed once per final piece to unlock its recipe list, but is NOT consumed by any individual sub-component or the final assembly itself (it acts as a catalyst/tool, not an ingredient). See each piece's own page for its full ingredient list.

Ebony Dust totals assume every intermediate (Ebony Bar, Small/Large Ebony Plate, Small/Large Ebony Rod) is smelted from raw Ebony Dust rather than Ebony Ore (7 Dust = 1 Ebony Bar), and exclude the separate [[Silver Foil]] chain, [[Exquisite Silk Boot Line|Exquisite Silk]] linings, and the [[Dusk Knight Schematics]] catalyst (consumed once per final piece, not per sub-component). Costs/XP-per-hour aren't listed here since the sub-component materials don't have confirmed vendor prices.

== Best Early Money Method ==

Buying bars, smithing them into Helmets, and selling to a vendor is one of the best early-game gold methods: Helmets need fewer bars, sell for good vendor value, and don't require any Mining. Every other craftable — Platebody, Platelegs, Swords — actually loses gold at Bronze/Iron/Steel tier once the bar cost is factored in, since the bars cost more than the finished item sells for.

Every other craftable (Platebody, Platelegs, Swords) actually loses gold at Bronze/Iron/Steel tier once the bar cost is factored in, since the bars cost more than the finished item sells for.

* Buy bars from a stall or another player → smith Helmets → sell to a vendor → repeat.

* Best returns: [[Bronze Helmet]] (~1,758g/hr), [[Iron Helmet]] (~8,514g/hr buying bars at Grave Town), [[Steel Helmet]] (~12,727g/hr).

* Everything else at these tiers trains XP but loses gold — only worth it for training if you can absorb the loss, or if you're smelting your own bars instead of buying them.

-For example, a [[Mithril Sword]] needs 6 Mithril Bars: smelting them gives 6 × 155 = 930 XP, and crafting the sword itself gives another 930 XP, for 1,860 XP total.
+For example, an [[Iron Helmet]] is made from 2 [[Iron Plate]]s (themselves smithed from 4 Iron Bars): smelting those 4 bars gives 4 × 30 = 120 XP, smithing them into 2 Iron Plates gives another 2 × 30 = 60 XP, and crafting the finished helmet gives 80 XP more, for 260 XP total across every stage.
+'''A note on the figures below:''' the Iron/Steel/Mithril Helmet, Platebody, Platelegs, and Weapon recipes above were corrected to match the game's real crafting data (they now go through intermediate Plates/Rods instead of raw bars, and a few Smithing level requirements shifted). The XP/hour and profit/hour figures below predate that correction and haven't been re-measured against the new recipes yet, since that needs real playtesting (travel time, vendor prices for the new intermediate materials) rather than a spreadsheet estimate. Treat the numbers below as outdated for Iron/Steel/Mithril Helmets, Platebodies, Platelegs, and Swords until someone re-runs them.

-These figures assume a full 28-slot inventory per cycle, real travel time between stations, and no downtime — treat them as upper bounds rather than guarantees. Bronze/Iron/Steel routes buy bars and sell finished items at the Blacksmith Stall in [[Valen Gate]] (except Iron Helmets, which are more profitable buying bars at [[Grave Town]] since they're 4g cheaper there). Mithril and Gold routes assume the ore/bars are already banked, since neither can be bought.

-Buying bars, smithing them into Helmets, and selling to a vendor is one of the best early-game gold methods: Helmets need fewer bars, sell for good vendor value, and don't require any Mining. Every other craftable — Platebody, Platelegs, Swords — actually loses gold at Bronze/Iron/Steel tier once the bar cost is factored in, since the bars cost more than the finished item sells for.
