Talk:Smithing

Steel bars & GE guide
Added a more in-depth guide for making money by selling steel bars on the grandex. Tweaked the other sections to make them more visible relative to the new section. Sol Levante 02:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Iron ore and superheat item
It is worth menchioning in the smelting table that you also have a 100% chance of smelting iron ore if you use Superheat Item. --Wiiwantxbox 02:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Good
This page should be well done now. However, I strongly dislike the high alchemy table. I'd fix it up, but my magic isn't 55 yet. But I'll get to it sometime. Other than the table, everything should be good now. --Richard1990 20:04, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Tables
I think that all the Smithing tables should be moved to subpages (i.e. Smithing/Bronze) and be linked to, so that the article isn't so long and cluttered. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  00:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Or condensed, like the table I made, that was reverted. --Tyman 101 22:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Tyman, it was a good thought, but it was next to impossible to use for reference...way too much information in one table. To be honest, I don't think the article is absurdly long--it just needs a little more structure


 * Personally after working over this article I think Couchpotato's idea is very reasonable at this point. 15:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

"Smithing table" should be redirected to Smithing tables instead of here. Yikai 03:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I was feeling nice, so I've fixed this. 03:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Anvils
The list of anvils is incomplete. There are anvils in the wilderness, in the dwarven mine, and these were not mentioned.

Update
I recently went and smithed some iron and noticed an expanded smithing menu. I think we're finally getting that smithing update Jagex promised us. 74.86.100.130 01:50, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Removed incorrect information
I removed the false information about smithing being a highly profitable skill. You can only lose money with high level smithing. 88.112.231.86 13:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And I put it back. It's just your opinion that high-level smiths lose money. We don't allow opinions on the wiki, so please don't remove that. It really is true that it's profitable.
 * Also, you never explained WHY it's not profitable.
 * Stinkowing is right, smithing can make a lot of money if done properly at high levels (i. e. making rune and adamant bars). [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]] Butterman62 (talk) [[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 13:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I think what he means is that although smelting can make money, smithing (from a bar) is not profitable.Yikai 03:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Smithing profitable
I've noticed that making items out of bars will actually cost you money. --Flajuram 10:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
