Smithing is the most profitable skill in the game. Even at a Smithing Level of 50 you can make over 100 coins per inventory by selling smithed items to Zack. You can smith many different types of armour and weapons, making it very useful skill to accompany combat.
To start smithing, you need a certain number of ores to create the item and a lit furnace. To do so, get a fire and put it in the furnace and then click on the furnace and select the "Smith" option. Then you can select the item you would like to make.
Furthermore, Zack will buy the items you smith for a decent price. Most players sell the items to him because demand for armour and weapons from players is actually extremely low.

- As of January 2, 2009, monsters have been set to auto-attack you, when near. This made smithing more difficult to train due to mining for the materials for Iron ore. This decision was made after a player achieved 75 and 67 mining and smithing respectively in under a week, speculating that achieving a 99 would be in under a month.
- Guard, in 2009, became the first person on Queville to be able to smith (and mine) a Lava object.
- On the night July 25, 2011, Smithing was drastically changed with an experience update.
- In late October, the Smithing level requirements were changed to the requirements of wearing them. This prompted an increase in combat training but Smithing as well.
