Smithing

Introduction
Smithing is a production skill through which players may create a wide variety of metal items from ores and metal bars. It is the companion skill of Mining, which generates all of the raw materials used in Smithing. Ores acquired from Mining are smelted into metal bars at furnaces, and then hammered into items at anvils. Many smithable items are useful in combat, quests(quest are being worked on), and thetraining of a number of other skills.



Smithing is divided into two distinct processes: smelting ores into bars, and working the bars into various items. Both processes give Smithing experience.

Smelting
Ores obtained from the Mining skill can be refined into metal bars at any furnace in Frost Blades.

For most metals, the smelting success rate is 100%; it is impossible to "fail" a smelting attempt, and so a certain number of ores will always result in a certain number of bars. Iron is the outstanding exception; since it takes only one iron ore to create an iron bar, there is a chance that the iron ore will be too impure to refine, and will be lost, resulting in no bar or experience gained. The chance of a successful forging of iron is 50% at level 15 Smithing, the minimum level for smelting iron ores, and increases incrementally as Smithing levels rise until it reaches an 80% chance of success at 45 Smithing, its highest...

Making Bars

Take note that coal plays a significant part in the process of smelting ores, as it is required for all standard metals above iron in increasing quantity, in addition to the applicable metal ores.
