Smithing

The Smithing skill allows you to smelt ores into bars as well as create different types of combat armor. With higher smithing levels, you’ll have access to more ores, be able to create better armors, and use special skilling equipment that can boost your smithing efficiency. You can also receive smithing chests as a rare drop from training this skill.

Activities

The following activities can be done indefinitely without needing materials. Some have equipment requirements in order to start the activity.

For activities involving two skills, the player is only eligible to earn chests in skills that have actual level requirements.

So if the activity has a smithing level requirement, it will be eligible to drop Smithing Chests.

When performing an activity for a skill, only the primary skill is factored in for the player's equipment bonuses, the "2nd Skill" will also be affected by the equipment attributes based toward the "1st Skill" (IE: +1 Exp will apply to the "2nd Skill" as well).

The following activities are eligible to drop Smithing Chests.

Smithing Activities

Recipes

The following activities are completed through recipes and thus require materials. Additionally, they may have service requirements, usually in the form of a service location. All recipes produce one of the final products by default.

Smithing also gets a bonus of +1 Crafting Outcome per level beyond a Smithing Recipe's level requirement toward crafted items with no cap.

The following activities are eligible to drop Smithing Chests.
