Smithing is a skill through which players create a wide variety of metal items from ore, metal bars and sometimes wood. It is the companion skill of Mining, which generates raw materials used in Smithing. Ores acquired from Mining are smelted into metal bars at various locations around Syrnia (See Smelting), and then hammered into items also at various locations around Syrnia (See Smithing). Many smithable items are useful in a number of skills, including Combat. When you wish to smelt, go to an appropriate location and select the smelt bars option for the bars you wish to make. To smith, equip your hammer and select the smith option.
Smelting
Smelting is the process of extracting a metal bar from a metal ore. To obtain a metal bar, a player must use an ore of the desired metal at one of the dedicated locations. Some metals require multiple ores, and some require coal.
Smithing
Smithing is the process by which players craft a metal item out of one or more metal bars. Smithing is also done at dedicated locations around Syrnia using a hammer. Providing you have the correct bars and necessary smithing level, you will be given a list of things to make. Select one of these and you will make that item providing you have the sufficient materials. You will continue to make this item until you select a new item to make, run out of materials, or stop smithing.
