If you find any errors in this please do not pester me with it. I only
made the guide to help people. The charts were taken from tipit.com
one of the best runescape helping sites. Making the chart would have
been very time consuming.

------------[2. Versions]----------------------------------------------

v0.9          
I have just started this FAQ. It's kinda crap, but it will do. This 
version has not been posted online yet.

v0.95        
Still unposted. Have vastly improved the FAQ. I believe it's ready. Now 
all I ahve to do is submit it.

v1.0          
It's finally been posted. Added a few updates to the smithing tables.

v1.1          
Haven't had an update for ages. No time either, I'm a busy man. Year 10 
so many assignments it's scary. I just added some spelling checks and 
update the date in Gamefaqs, so more people go to this FAQ. Call me 
cheap... Oh, yeah, I added the price guide. It's not very comprehensive 
though, but I'm not that good.

vFinal        
I think that this guide is pretty much done with.

------------[3. Introduction] -----------------------------------------

For those of you who do not know what Runescape is, it is a very 
popular online game. It is a Massive Multiplayer Online Game, or MMORG. 
I think that's it. The main difference between Runescape and many other 
online RPGs are:

1)  Runescape has graphics.

2)  Runescape does not only concentrate of fighting monsters or other 
people. Of course, having a powerful fighter is very important, but not 
as important as the skills required. There are many skills, most which 
involve creating items, and selling them for money. You can fight 
monsters, and receive experience, increasing your character's fighting 
ability. Or, you can mine copper and tin, smelt it into bronze, and 
smith it into a sword. Or, you could fish tuna or sardines, and cook 
them. You can chop trees and make arrows or bows. You can complete 
quests in exchange for experience and goods, like a traditional RPG. 
The possibilities are huge.

3)  Runescape is free. Well, nearly. There are two types of servers in 
Runescape, 'free' servers, and 'members' servers. Call them f2p and 
p2p. The majority of players play in f2p, but in p2p, you have to pay a 
fee to use it. The trade-off is huge. The member's world is twice the 
size of that of the f2p world. There are new quests, new items, new 
monsters, and many other new features. Too bad I can't afford (can't 
use credit card yet) it.

There you have it. They are the three main features of Runescape. I'm 
not sure if they are the three Official features, but it doesn't matter. 

The skill system in Runescape is much different to games such as Diablo. 
The more you use a certain skill, the better your character gets at it. 
For example, every time you hit a rock with a pickaxe (mining), and 
receive a piece of ore, you receive experience for that skill. Once you 
experience total for that reaches a certain number or higher, you level 
up. More level ups allow a greater chance of finding an ore, and allows 
you to mine better and better ores.

This FAQ looks at one feature of Runescape's skill system. Smithing. It 
is one of the skills that can produce the most profit. The others are 
mining and fishing. Smithing can potentially produce the greatest profit 
out of all of them, but it is the hardest skill to raise. This FAQ 
concentrates on all of the facets of smithing, from the mining, the 
smelting, the smithing, and the weapons/armour. 

I am going to do it an assume that you know some things about Runescape 
.eg. how to move, how to use items, how to fight, etc. That will save me 
a lot of space. I will also assume you have a map (go to 
www.runescape.com, click on Runescape, click on map, and save the 
website).

------------[4. How to Smith]------------------------------------------

Smithing requires three stages, mining the ores from rocks, smelting the 
ores into bars, and smithing the bars into armour or weapons. It is 
fairly simple to do, but there is a catch. A large one as well. To smith, 
you require ores. Low level ores are quite easy to obtain, and their 
rocks are very common. Along with each ore named will be the mining 
level required to mine it:

-----------------
| Clay: Level 1 |
-----------------
Clay has absolutely nothing to do with smithing. Clay is used in 
crafting, which makes amulets, holy symbols, pottery and leather. Clay 
is not particularly common, it's just no one cares about it.

-------------------
| Copper: Level 1 |
-------------------
A low level ore. Copper, along with tin, is very common. It is very easy 
to mine, and is used on conjunction with tin to make bronze. It is 
usually mined by new players, who wish to raise their mining level. It 
used to be good for powermining, but with the new fatigue system around, 
it is much less common. 

----------------
| Tin: Level 1 |
----------------
Another low level ore. It is used in conjunction with copper to make 
bronze. It is very similar to copper, in it's abundance and uses.

------------------
| Iron: Level 15 |
------------------
Iron is a large jump from copper and tin. It is the metal most used in 
smithing, as it is easy to obtain and gives good experience. It also 
gives much better profits. The best place to mine iron is the mine SE 
of Varrock. It is near a bank, a bed, and has 3 iron rocks. One quirk 
with smelting iron is that it has a random 50% chance of failing, 
requiring you to mine twice as many ores than bars. Very annoying, I 
know.

--------------------
| Silver: Level 20 |
--------------------
Like Clay, Silver is associated with crafting. The only thing you can 
make with them are Holy symbols of Sarodomin. They also give decent 
smithing experience, but you cannot actually smith it, only smelt it. 
They are pretty good to sell to people who want to raise their crafting 
level.

------------------
| Coal: Level 30 |
------------------
Coal is the jackpot for many miners. Coal is used with iron, mithril, 
admantite, and runite ores to make their bars. Without Coal, you cannot 
make Steel, Mithril, Adamantite and Runite bars. Coal is very 
profitable, and even more so if you decide to smith with it. Steel 
requires, 2 Coals to smelt, Mithril requires 4, Adamantite requires 6, 
and Runite requires 8. Mithril is good to sell to other players, and so 
is Adamantite and Runite. Coal is most often mined in the Mining Guild, 
Barbarian Village and the wilderness Coal mine.

------------------
| Gold: Level 40 |
------------------
Gold is also a crafting metal. It is used to make gold jewellery and 
amulets. Gold is only profitable is you are able to smelt it, as you can 
sell the bars for high prices.

---------------------
| Mithril: Level 55 |
---------------------
Mithril is one of the high level ores. It is mainly mined in dungeons, 
the swamp mine, and the wilderness. Mithril equipment is usually in high 
demand, as it is strong and usually affordable to level 20s. Just don't 
sell any of it to shops, you will know what I mean. From now on, I will 
often refer to Mithril as Mith. Don't get confused.

------------------------
| Adamantite: Level 70 |
------------------------
Adamantite is very similar to Mith, in it's concept and demand. 
Adamantite is also mined in similar places to Mithril. I will refer to 
Adamantite as Addy, so I won't have to type so much.

--------------------
| Runite: Level 85 |
--------------------
Runite, or Rune, is the crowning glory of any player. Rune is the rarest 
and most sought for metal, and by far the strongest. Anyone who can make 
or mine Rune is exceptional. Very few people can actually mine and smith 
Rune. Rune is found in the Hero's Guild, VERY high level wilderness, and 
maybe on Crandor Isle. I'm not sure about the Crandor Isle and Hero's 
guild one, I've never been to those places

After the ore is mined, you must smelt it. To smelt, you must take the 
ore(s) to a furnace. There are three furnaces in f2p, one near 
Lumbridge, one in Falador, and one in Al Kharid. 

Falador:
Falador is the most commonly used furnace, as it is both the most 
accessible and the most crowded. There is a nearby bank, where you can 
withdraw ores and deposit bars. This is by far the best place to use, 
but others are still accessible. There are actually two furnaces inside 
the building, so it is easier to smelt.

Lumbridge:
The furnace is fairly accessible, but there is no nearby bank. If there 
were anvils there (which I am not sure of), it would be an excellent 
place to sell iron or bronze armour to newbs. If, that is, they can 
afford it/begged money off other people. Otherwise, it is not a very 
good place to smelt, as there is no nearby bank.

Al Kharid:
Al Kharid, on the other hand, does have a nearby bank. Unfortunately, 
the area is not very accessible, there is a toll required to enter the 
main gate (you can always go the long way around), unless you finish a 
very annoying quest. The furnace is not very crowded, and is very close 
to the bank. There is a mine (the scorpion chasm) north of it, where you 
can mine gold, silver and iron. Nevertheless, I would not bother using 
this town, it's too far from where the action is.

Once the ores have been smelted into bars, it is now time to smith them. 
This is the bit where you can make a lot of money. To smith an item, you 
must open your inventory, click on the bar that you want to smith, click 
on the anvil, and select what you want to make. Here is a list of the 
smithing spots:

Varrock:
This is by far the most popular place for people to smith. In fact, 
there are !Three! buildings where you can smith. One in West Varrock, 
one in East Varrock (which also doubles as an armour shop), and one 
where this creepy guy changes male armour into female armour (and vice 
versa). Not to mention that the bank(s) are very nearby, the sword shop 
is close, and you have an excellent place to make all sorts of metallic 
killing devices.

Doric's Anvil:
Another good place to smith, it is NW of Falador, E of the Member's Gate 
and S of the Goblin Village. The Shield shop is nearby, and so is the 
mace shop (big whoop). Nevertheless, it is an excellent place to smith. 
Too bad you need to do a stupid quest to use the anvils there.

Imcando Dwarf hut:
This is a very little known point far south of Falador. It is involved 
with the Knight's Sword Quest. It is basically a small hut with an anvil 
inside. 

At first, while smithing, you can only make daggers, which are hardly 
worth anything. That is why you don't make daggers. The best item to 
make if you want to at least make the most out of your money is making 
short swords. Short swords give the most money per bar, and that is 
exactly why you should make them, at first.

But there's the catch. Two simple reasons why simply making short swords 
is not worth as much as it could.

a) It requires 5 clicks of the mouse in different to make places to make 
a single short sword. You can make 29 swords in a single sitting, giving 
29 x 5 = 145 mouse clicks. That is going to wear out your finger a lot. 
Until they can add hotkeys to Runescape, a RSI will continue to run 
rampant through the online gaming community. Making stuff like kite 
shields takes the same amount of clicks, it's just you can't make as 
many kite shields in one sitting.

b) Firstly, understand how the shops work. In each shop, there are a 
default number of items. For the default quantities of each item, there 
is a set buying/selling price. However, once you start buying/selling 
items, the quantity of items change, and so do the prices. The more of 
one item in a shop, the lower the price, both for buying and selling. 
The less of an item in a shop, the higher the price .eg. let's say, for 
iron short swords (ISS), the default number of items is 15 ISS going for 
91 gp each. If you buy an ISS, the quantity of ISS will be 14. The price 
will increase slightly, to, let's say, 94 gp. On the other hand, if we 
sold an ISS to the shop, the quantity will then be 16, and the price 
will drop to, let's say, 88 gp. This change will also affect the prices 
of your sale, and cumulatively as well (29 is a fairly large number). 
Before long, you will be selling your stock at 50% below what you should 
be getting, resulting in a great loss.

Learn from the wise, they say.

------------[6. Smithing Tables]---------------------------------------

This is it. The most important part of this FAQ. This can make you rich, 
or get you ripped off completely. Alright, I'll cut the crap and get on 
with it. Enjoy!

(Note: The 'shop's prices' is the amount you can buy them from the 
certain specialty store. Selling price is the price for selling them at 
the specialist stores .eg. buy/sell daggers, short and long swords to 
sword shop in Varrock, sell large and medium helmets to helmet shop in 
Barbarian Village, etc. I hate general stores. They give horrific prices 
for all sorts of items.)

(Another Note: General Stores are good for getting rare stuff that some 
fool sold to the store. For example, you can sell a party hat to a 
general store for jack all gp, but sell them to other players for 300k+. 
Just thought you should know...)

(And yet another Note: There are no specialty shops for 2 handed swords 
in f2p. However, they are good to sell to other players, as 2 handers 
rock. Except Bronze 2 handers).

A little explanation about the categories...

Armour/Weapon: The name of the armour/weapon. Duh...

Lvl: Smithing level needed to make that item.

Bars: Number of metal bars needed to make that item. Is standardised for 
all items.

Exp.: Smithing experience recieved for making that item.

Shop's Price: Price of buying that from a specialty shop if the quantity 
is at it's default. Not all items can be bought from these shops. These 
are marked with a @. Thank you Tip.it.

Selling Price: Price for selling to a specialty shop. Not all items can 
be sold to these shops. These are marked with a @. And yet more thanks 
to Tip.it.

Price per Bar: Price you get for each bar. Very important, for finding 
what is more economical .ie. gives you a better profit.

Power: Weapon power. The higher the number, the more damage it can do. 
Axes have a greater power that aim.

Aim/Armour: For Aim, it is how accurate that weapon is. Maces have a 
higher aim that power. For Armour, it is how well that thing will 
protect you.

Rating: This is rather tricky to gauge. Rating is how good this is to 
make, usually for selling to shops. 2 handers are the best for selling to 
other people, but plate mail is the best for selling to shops.

Bronze: 12.5 Experience per bar

Only sell steel plates to the shops. Anything else is better for other 
players. Steel 2 handers sell good.

Piece of advice: If you're making Mith equipment, don't sell it to the 
shops. There is alot of demand for Mith, and you can get some pretty 
good prices for it. Make stuff like Battle Axes, 2 handers and full 
Mith.

This time, make alot of Rune 2 Handers. You can usually sell them for 
around 70k gp each, and are the most powerful weapon you can smith. 
Not to mention that medium-high level pkers tend to lose them regularly, 
meaning more money in your pockets. Plate mail is not a very good 
option, as people who can use them (you need to complete a very 
difficult quest to use Rune plate) are not particularly common. Plus 
hardly anyone tries (or wants) to lose them in battle. And you can buy 
them from this NPC at north of Barb Village for 65000 gp anyway.


@ - Item cannot be bought or sold at specialty stores, you have to smelt 
them yourself. That is the price you get from selling them to general 
stores.

^ - Bullcrap!

(And yet another note: the price list should not be solely relied on to 
find the prices of items, especially with other players. You may end up 
losing a great bargain it you only use the selling price when selling an 
item on the 'selling price' described in this FAQ. And these prices are 
probably a couple of years out of date, so yet again, don't rely 
completely on them. I am most unsure about Rune, as I have never worn it 
nor smithed it.)

------------[7. Getting Started]---------------------------------------

This section is for those with low to medium-low level mining and 
smithing (1-50). Anyone higher, I am sorry, but you're looking for the 
wrong guy. Too bad you scrolled down this far to read this.

When you first begin the game (sign up, log in, etc), you have 1 for 
every stat except for hitpoints, which will be 10. That will mean that 
your mining and smithing will be on level 1.

At level 1, there are only 3 things you can mine: clay, tin and copper. 
Clay is useless except for crafting, so you will be mining copper and 
tin. When I first began, I would deposit everything except pickaxe in 
Falador, go south to mine copper from Rimmington, go north to Falador, 
store copper in bank, rinse and repeat. With Tin, I would start the 
same, except go northeast to Barbarian Village, and mine Tin there. You 
should try to get at least 150 of each ore.

Now comes the boring part, the smelting. At least it doesn't take very 
long. Empty your inventory, and fill it with 15 Copper and 15 Tin. Go to 
the Falador furnace, and empty your load into it, receiving 1 bar per 1 
Copper and 1 Tin. Go back to the bank, rinse and repeat.

If you try, you would notice your smithing experience increasing 
steadily. The reason I said 150 ores was to give you a head start in 
your smithing abilities, so you could smith more profitable things 
earlier on, and more of it as well.

As you know, smelting in furnaces gives experience as well. 150 ores 
would at least raise your smithing level to 6, when you can make long 
swords. If you look at the smithing tables, you would see that short 
and long swords give the best return per bar, and the shop you sell them 
to is both very accessible from an anvil.

The next step is the smithing. It requires both a hammer, which is 
bought from general stores for 1 gp, and a bar. Go to an anvil, click on 
the bar, click on the anvil, and select the item you wish to make, from 
the tree:

               \                 /-- Chain Mail (3)
                \               /
                 \             /---- Plate Legs (3)
                  \-- Armour --
                               \---- Plate Skirt (3)
                                \
                                 \-- Plate Mail (5)
      Arrowheads (1)  (This option is not available in f2p, so I know 
little about it.)

      Nails (1)   (You can only make nails from steel bars. Nails are 
used in the dragon quest, which happens to be the hardest quest in f2p. 
After you complete the quest, you can wear rune plates, which is pretty 
damn good.)

At any one time, have 29 bronze bars and 1 hammer with you when 
smithing. It is best to make 9 long swords and 11 short swords. Take 
your entire stock to Varrock sword shop, and sell the load. Go back to 
the bank, fill up your inventory again, and repeat.

Continue this procedure of mining, smelting and smithing until you reach 
level 12 smithing. Only then should you change what you smith. There is 
an Anvil very close to Falador, at Doric's Anvil. You cannot use this 
anvil until you have completed a simple quest, which is to obtain 
several ores for Doric. After you have completed the quest, you can use 
his anvils.

This time, instead of smithing long and short swords, you must smith 
square and kite shields. They also give good returns, and are fairly 
close to Falador's shield shop. This is also a lot faster than smithing 
short swords.

Once you hit level 16, begin smithing plate legs and skirts, in equal 
numbers. Unfortunately, the leggings and skirt shops are in Al Kharid, 
and there is no nearby anvil. However, legs and skirts give the second 
greatest return per bar. Therefore, smith many legs and skirts, store 
them in the bank, and once you have high numbers of them, go to Al 
Kharid and unload them there. However, the shops there may have too many 
of those items to be profitable, so a good idea is to switch to another 
server and sell them there. Unfortunately, that means closing Runescape, 
so it may take some time.

Once level 18 has been reached, rejoice. You can now make plate mail. 
They give the best return of all these bronze equipment, and can be sold 
very easily. In Varrock, there are three places where you can smith, one 
of them happens to be an armour shop as well. You can make a load of 
bronze plates, and sell them to the shop, leaving you with an even more 
decent profit. As well as that, you can make full bronze now, allowing 
you to sell them to new players at Lumbridge. Full armour is basically 
plate, legs, and helmet, sometimes with weapon and shield. I've seen 
them go for around 600. This can result in an extremely good profit. 
Unfortunately, most people know the value of bronze, and it is 
practically worthless. It is easier and more time efficient if you 
simply make bronze and sell it to the shops.

Plate mail should continue to be made until level 21 smithing can me 
gained. Then, you can make iron long swords. Once again, mine a lot of 
iron, smelt them, and turn them into iron long and short swords. Then 
sell them to Varrock swords, and make a handy profit. 

Once level 23 smithing is obtained, begin making square shields at 
Doric's anvils. Once your smithing is level 27, also make kite shields 
with the squares. At level 31, make legs and skirts. However, you can 
sell iron legs in Varrock, at the same place you sell plate mail. 
However, don't sell too many at a time, you will get a bad return. 
Instead, sell some and store the rest in the bank, for later pickings. 
Therefore, just make iron legs when you can. 

And finally, at level 33, you can make Plate mail, selling them in 
Varrock as well. I recommend making as many plate mails as you can (5), 
sell them, then switch to acother server and sell them there. That way, 
you will get more money. Simple. Full iron to other players also sells 
much better than full bronze does. 

I do not recommend going straight to steel, steel is somewhat 
uneconomical. Of course, you can mine coal and iron and smith it, but 
you are not going to make a profit until you can make steel plate. On 
the other hand, steel gives far more experience than that of iron, and 
sells to other players well. Don't make steel shorts or mediums, no one 
cares about them enough to buy them. Concentrate on 2 handers, battle 
axes (very good), leggings, and plate. Don't bother buying the bars it's 
not worth it.

I have not smithed Mithril yet, unfortunately. I do know that Mithril 
sells very well to other players, having used to be the owner of full 
mith.

Addy and Rune are very good. Once you have that high smithing, get set 
for a lot of easy money. Especially Rune, there is a lot of demand buy 
medium to high level people who keep getting PKed and losing Full Rune 
plus 2 Hander. As well as that, they are often very rich from other 
methods (Strength Potion making, Lobster/Swordfish fishing, mining, 
etc). Anyone who can smith Rune can expect to be a millionaire with 
some effort.

------------[9. Smithing related quests]-------------------------------

Doric's Amulet:

This is a very simple quest involving a dwarf smith. Doric lives in a 
small house NW of Falador. He is making an Amulet, and requires your 
help (that guy who runs around according to where you click) to get some 
materials for him. These are:
6 Clay
2 Iron
4 Copper
You can mine all this cra... stuff from the dwarven mines. I hate clay. 
It's only found (I think) in the dwarven mines, and dwarves are annoying 
as hell. When you're on a low level. Which you would be when doing this 
quest.

As with nearly all the quests, you get a reward. Once you give Doric his 
stuff, you will recieve 180 gp, some mining experience, and the 
permission to use Doric's Anvils. Good thing as well, it's in a pretty 
good spot.

What I dont understand is what amulet would use 6 clays, 2 irons and 4 
coppers. I'm guessing ammy of accuracy, which you get from a quest. It's 
very good, but you can only get one per character. And the quest 
requires you to kill ALOT of imps. 

The Knight's Sword:

This quest is alot harder. Go to the White Knight's Castle (DO NOT 
attack those knights unless you are at least level 40. You will get 
owned), and talk to the squire. He's on the ground floor, in case you 
don't know. He say's that he has lost (dropped somewhere) Sir Vywin's 
favourite sword. In the world of Runescape, nothing that lies on the 
ground stays there for long. Drop an iron long at Lumbridge and dozens 
of newbs will pounce on it like hungry animals.

Obviously, you need to make a new sword. This is no ordinary sword, it 
has been in the family for generations and you don't have the skills to 
make one. The only people who can make a new one are the Imcando 
dwarves. However, there is only one Imcando dwarf left, who lives in a 
peninsula south of Falador. However, this guy has a serious attitude 
problem, and will not help you.

Instead, go to the Varrock Library, and talk to Reldo, and ask him about 
it. He will tell you that Imcando dwarves love Redberry pie, so make 
one. However, you need a cooking level of 10 to make it. You need 
Redberries, pastry dough, and a pie pan. 

To get pastry dough, get a jug or bucket, fill it with water from a 
sink/fountain/well, and get a pot. Pick some grain near the windmill 
near Draynor, then climb up the ladders to the top of the windmill.  Use 
the grain on the hopper, then operate it. Climb down and use the pot on 
the flour. Use the water on the pot of flour and pick pastry dough from 
the little menu that pops up. To get redberries, buy them from Port 
Sarim food shop, or grab one which respawns around Varrock. I recommend 
the latter option. For a pie dish, you need lvl 3 crafting. Mine clay 
from Dwarven mines or SW Varrock and use water on it. Take it to 
Barbarian Village and use it on the potters wheel and select pie dish. 
Use the unfired pie dish on the pottery furnace next to you, and you 
have a pie dish.

Use the pastry dough on the pie pan, to get a pie shell. Use the 
redberries on the pie shell to get an uncooked redberry pie. If you 
don't know what to do next, I laugh at you. Hopefully, you haven't burnt 
the pie. If you have, empty the dish, and get more dough and redberries. 
If you have a redberry pie, then good on you.

Then go all the way back to the Imcando Dwarf place. His name is Thurgo. 
Give the Redberry pie to Thurgo, and he will tell you he needs a picture 
of the sword. Go back to the squire, and he will tell you that Sir Vywin 
has a picture of himself holding the sword in the upstairs cupboard. 
However, if you try, he will personally stop you. 

Get a friend (or ask someone out there) to talk to Vywin. By that, I 
mean another runescape player. While he's being distracted, go to the 
cupboard and take it. Don't worry, it will respawn for some other guy to 
steal.

Go back to Thurgo, and give him the picture. He will then ask you for 
materials: 2 iron bars and 1 blurite ore. The iron bars are easy enough, 
I've been telling you how to get them all through the FAQ. 

The blurite ore is way harder. You must go into the ice caves and mine 
then in there. Unfortunately, the place is infested with ice warriors 
(level 58) and ice giants (level 68). Ice warriors are aggressive, Ice 
Giants are aggressive only if you bump into them .ie. walk AROUND them. 
You should go on a server with many people online, and hopefully there 
will be some other people training there. Run to the end of the dungeon, 
mine the ore and get out. I recommend carrying a 2 hander, plate mail 
and a pickaxe. That way, if you get slaughtered in there, you can get 
resurrected with the weapon, plate mail and the ore. Aww, you lost a 
pickaxe...

Actually, what I did was carry nothing but a pickaxe. I ran to the end, 
mined some blurite ore, and committed suicide on the ice giants.

Another thing I found our are that some people are absolutely terrified 
of getting killed, even if they have nothing to lose. My friend sells 
Blurite ore for 5k each. Very nice profit, considering how easy it is to 
get Blurite ore.

Anyway, go back the the dwarf, give him the junk, and you will recieve 
the sword. Equip it if you like, and, WTF! The legendary sword is weaker 
than a steel long? The blurite sword has 11/11 statistics. Why couldn't 
Vywin just get a rune long or something? I guess the only reason it was 
'legendary' was that it was a rather fancy sword. Screw the fanciness, 
swords are for hacking people's head(s) off.

Anyway, go to the squire with the sword, and you will complete your 
quest. Your reward: a ton of smithing experience.

***As a side note, if you're strong enough, kill some white knights with 
that sword. That would piss them off***

k            -1000, as in 3k meaning 3000, or whatever. Don't say it 
like k3, that's just stupid.

gp           -The currency used in Runescape.

Rune         -The ultimate metal in Runescape. An unflattering blue 
colour, but once you have it, you won't bag it out.

Runes        -Items used in Magic.

Addy         -The second strongest metal. Happens to be an ugly green 
colour.

Mith         -The third strongest. Also in an ugly blue colour.

Scorpion Pit -A well known mine north of Al Kharid and south of Varrock. 
Infested with annoying scorpions, hence the name.

Pk           -Player kill. Best done with pures, they go around in the 
wild killing people for their equipment. Thing is, attacking another 
player gives you a 'skull'. This is basically a little skull icon (like 
the ones on death runes or the wilderness marker) floating above your 
head. Normally, if you die, you lose everything but your 3 best items. 
With a skull, you lose *gasp* everything. However, you can use prayer 
and save one more item, which works if you have a skull. Anyway, the 
skull lasts for 20 minutes before it disappears. Meanwhile, every other 
pker will be trying to kill you for your stuff. Pking is best done in 
groups.

PkPker       -Player killer killer. In other words, you sit around in 
wilderness looking like a fat juicy target, and let other people commit 
suicide on you. Also best done in groups. One guy attacks another, gets 
ranged by yet another. Talk privately as well, so people can't tell 
you're working together.

Wild         -The wilderness area of RS, a wasteland of annoying 
monsters. Also where you can Pk. Organised into levels, who you can 
attack depends on the level wild you are in. The deeper you go into the 
wilderness, the higher the level. In level 10 wild, a level 40 can 
attack/be attacked by a level 30, but not a level 29.

Pure         -Someone that specialises in 1 or 2 combat stats. The most 
common are attack and strength pures, who wear weak armour and have 
r2hs. There are attack pures, who have rune battle axes. And Range pures 
who have high level ranged with 10 hitpoints. defense pures who wear 
full addy or full rune. Generally, your main character should not be a 
pure. And yes, you can have more that one Runescape characters. The best 
thing about pures is that they have a habit of losing their 
r2h/addy2h/etc. Sell away!

Ranged       -Has next to nothing to do with cooking. Has everything to 
do with bows and arrows and shooting them at people.

Impure       -Someone with generally even stats. They are the best main 
characters. 

PBs          -Prayer Beasts. A pure with high prayer. Uses prayer and 
monk's robes.

r2h          -Rune 2 hander. The strongest weapon in f2p.

f2p          -Free to play. Don't need to pay to play.

p2p          -Pay to Play. Get all these cool extras.

Lumby        -Lumbridge. N00b spawn zone. I recommend turning on 'block 
all messages' to get rid of those FREE GP PLZ. 

b axe        -Battle Axe. Tend to miss alot, but do way more damage.

Brb          -Be right back. They log off, but will come on again soon.

Ty           -Thank you

Np           -No problem

Nm           -Nevermind

------------[11. Tips]-------------------------------------------------

* It is easier to do one thing at a time. For instance, it is better 
mining all of your stuff and storing it in the bank before you smelt it 
all, and then smith it all.

* Take a look at the smithing tables. Some things sell at a better price 
per bar than others. For example, would you rather smith an iron dagger 
that takes up one bar and sells for 21 gp, or an iron short sword that 
also takes up one bar but sells for 54 gp?

* Hardly anyone buys bronze equipment. There is no point making them if 
you intend to sell it to others. Iron is better.

* Consider what would you buy yourself. Would you want to buy an iron 
medium helmet? I would more likely buy iron large helmets. After all, it 
is much stronger and not that much more expensive.

* If buying or selling stuff to other players, take a price that is a 
median of the 'shop price' and the 'selling price' in the smithing 
tables. That way, you would make more money than selling to the shops 
and they would get a lower price than buying at the shops.

* Plate armour is the best for selling to the shops. They are quick to 
make, and sell for tons. 

* 2 handers are the best for making to sell to other players. 
Unfortunately, you can never tell when you are going to get a deal, so 
it is better to leave some hammers and bars in your bank, so when you do 
get a customer, you can sell to them.
