Smithing
Smithing consists of two things, smelting and smithing. Smelting is melting raw ore into bars at a furnace, located in Falador, Lumbridge and Al-Karid. Smithing is taking those same bars and hammering them into usable items such as weapons, armor, and even arrow tips. All the experience you get smithing and smelting goes towards your smithing level, which determines what you can smith and smelt.
To begin smithing, you will have to mine a little, since barley anybody sells basic ores such as copper and tin and even iron. A good place to start smithing is Al-Karid. You can mine in the scorpion pit, then take your ore into the furnace just north of the bank to smelt, and then put your bars in the bank account. Then return to the scorpion to mine some more. You can follow this route as you mine copper and tin to get bronze, iron and some people even do it when they are smithing steel.
After you have a large amount of bars (200) or more, you can start to smith the bars into useful items at one of Varrock's 2 locations. Always remember to smith the higher priced item for the number of bars used. Example, instead of smithing a dagger, smith a long sword which sells for more money then a dagger. Also, people will buy bronze and iron items in Varrock, sell them either to a store, or to other new players in Lumbridge.
