Training Hints and Tips
Remember that you can use the right-click 'Smelt X' option; this saves a lot of clicking.
When smelting a large number of ores, use a furnace near a bank, such as Al Kharid. This will save a lot of walking time and will not disrupt your routine too greatly. This method is also useful for Smithing and locations of anvils.
Making and selling steel bars is fast experience and there is good profit to be made. However, making cannonballs brings an even bigger profit, as they are always easily sold.
Once you reach the level to smith mithril and higher, you may be able to buy the bars at a price where you will be able to smith it and sell for a profit, without spending time Mining the ores.
Use the ring of forging (Members Only) to smelt iron ore without failing.
Combine the Smithing skill with Magic and use the superheat item spell, which smelts ore without a furnace.
Smithing experience is 'per bar', so items requiring the same amount of bars will yield the same amount of experience.
Summoning Familiars
Using the Summoning skill, you'll find that there are a few familiars that might be useful for training your Smithing. Of particular note are the beasts of burden, which can carry extra bars or ores for you, and letting you train for longer periods before having to head to a bank.
