Steel bar



A steel bar is a bar of steel. It can be created through the smithing skill at level 30 by using an iron ore and two coals on a furnace granting 17.5 Smithing experience.

A steel bar can be smithed on an anvil to create steel weapons and armour (see a list of steel items that players can smith from steel bars, along with the smithing levels required.

Steel bars are also used in construction, and some players will buy them for up to 1000 coins each, especially outside the portals to player-owned houses.

Players who own a dwarf multicannon will also need steel bars (along with an ammo mould in the inventory) to make cannonballs. Use a steel bar on a furnace to make four cannonballs per steel bar.

Players commonly use steel bars to train the smithing skill despite being able to smith mithril bars and up, because it has the optimum traits of requiring only three ores, and gives a decent amount of experience.
