This guide focuses on how to train smithing in both cheap and quick ways, prior to the smithing aspects of Dungeoneering. If one is not patient with buy and sell offers, the cost per experience point can be dramatically higher than the quantities listed in this article. Players with low wealth should still consider the methods that favour high investment but accept that they cannot train smithing continuously (and instead must be patient with buy and sell offers). Also, the ability of Portable forges to save bars greatly decreases the loss of smithing so that they are essential for the most efficient methods. Thus, the paradigm was that smithing iron platebodies or other Invention inputs became nominally the best way to train provided that one has the wealth and patience to sell finished items at a good price. More recently, the introduction of Summoning and Invention caused increase demand for many finished products. Also, for a table showing profits versus experience made smithing certain items, see this page.īefore the release of portable forges, the general paradigm of Smithing training was that smelting bars yielded profit with slow Smithing experience, and smithing items yielded fast experience at significant losses. Forging items out of single bars, financial inability, or the monotony of smelting led people to neglect it.įor those who are more financially able there are distinct power-levelling methods, which this guide will elaborate on here. Smithing was often regarded to be a tedious and expensive skill to train in Free to play worlds before the release of Artisan's Workshop and Portable forges.
