Money making guide/Smithing (F2P)

Overall, smithing is not incredibly good for money making in the short term, but good if a player sticks with it long enough. In addition, for players buying bars (because Smithing experience is earned faster at the anvil rather than at the furnace), bars of all types are also tertiary ingredients for Summoning, which has increased the demand for most types of bars, causing prices to inflate. When smelting a Coal bag is recommended as it holds a extra of 27 Coal. However for this method a Dungeoneering level of 35 is needed as well as a Mining level of 35. However at least level 40-42 Dungeoneering is needed to obtain the 4000 tokens that will be needed to buy it from the Rewards trader.

There is also a small demand for steel bars due to their use in Construction. Due to the relatively low prices for smithable weapons and armour, smithing items isn't recommended to make money, with few exceptions.
