November Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 One of the best ways to get started with Smithing is by completing Doric's Quest to boost up your Mining Levels which will be needed in order to obtain most of the ores you'll need. https://forum.zaros.io/topic/1349-zaros-complete-quest-guide/ Link to @Augment's complete Quest Guide, Doric's Quest included. The best method found in order to boost Smithing Levels is by doing the Blast Furnace Minigame, pushing Gold Ore in order to save time on obtaining ores for Smithing. Best way to obtain Gold Ores. ( Requirements of Lvl 40 Mining and Lvl 40 Crafting ) Spoiler Head to Varrock and trade Thessalia to access her Fine Clothes' Shop, and buy a Brown Apron. Vía the Skilling Teleports, teleport to the Crafting Guild. Powermine all of these Gold Ores. Circling around the entire mine will yield you a very high amount of Gold Ores per hour, especially at higher Mining Levels. Head over to Blast Furnace vía the Minigames Teleport. Once downstairs, you're going to want to deposit Coins ( at the rate of around 72k GP / HR, currently bugged and draining MORE coins ) in the Coffer. Prepare your Preset so you can do each run with less clicks. Your 'Last Preset' setup should look like this. The gear setup can vary if you rely on Water Buckets to cool down Bars or Ice Gloves to directly obtain them. The process for Blast Furnace is quite simple. You withdraw your Preset with a full inventory of Gold Ore. You 'Put - ore - on' on the Conveyor Belt. Once the ore passes through the Conveyor Belt into the Melting Pot, it will fill the Bar Dispenser, from which you can obtain your bars. The bars will be too hot to obtain for a few moments, this can be bypassed by going up the stairs and down the stairs. Once you've taken your bars, you can re-do your ' Last Preset ' and start over again. Approximately 18 seconds to complete a full run at a rate of 30k XP per inventory ( Normal / Ironman ) or 5k XP ( Realist / EIM ) it should take about 444 inventories or 12,432 gold ores for 99 Smithing on Normal rates and 2,661 inventories or 74,508 gold ores for 99 on Realist rates giving about a time of 2 hours 13 minutes for Normal rates and 13 hours 18 minutes for Realist rates. 1.- Powermine Gold Ore at Crafting Guild. 2.- Head over to the Blast Furnace Minigame. 3.- Prepare your Preset. 4.- Deposit coins into the Coffer. 5.- Put your Gold Ores into the Conveyer. 6.- Rush to the stairs while the ores travel to the Melting Pot, once the ores are deposited into the Bar Dispenser.... 7.- Head upstairs, and then immediately downstairs. 8.- Claim your bars, rush over to the Bank and re-do your Preset.

FTWImCody Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Very nice guide! Only one suggestion can right click home tele and teleport to Blast Furnace after Pushing Ores on Conveyor for faster rotations for bar cooling ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhh Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Should add on there a mention about gold smith gauntlets. They work with BF and give ~2.5 times more xp when worn, can wear them for xp drop and switch to ice gloves to take bars out. Taking a significant chunk out of resources needed for 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a significant chunk out of resources needed for 99 Yeah it's an option, I just mentioned the methods that a normal non - donator could take on, currently will add it when it feels like voting has picked up for enough people to have access to all the gloves.

Resting Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Worth noting that you can buy noted buckets and fill them with the lunar spell book. Then create a preset with a water bucket and ores. Nice method for gold ore if you don't want/can't buy ice gloves. Zalcano is also a good alternative to gold ore. Otherwise a really great guide!

Hope is noob Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Good guide mate. I do think it could be worth mentioning zalcano for tohose who have he reqs, took me way less time to obtain the gold that way compared to powermining/mlm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idle_user Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Chiming in, going up and down the stairs no longer cools down the bars. Best to use bucket if you don't have ice gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
