Trailblazer League

Guides

Overview

Smithing is heavily modified by all three tier 1 relics.

Endless Harvest allows players to gather ore more quickly.
Production Master allows players to smelt an inventory of ore and smith an inventory of bars instantly.
Skilling Prodigy allows players to bypass low-level and low XP content.

Training

Obtaining materials

See the Mining guide for more information on obtaining ore.

Coal

Coal may be more easily obtained from activities other than Mining, see coal sources.

Kingdom Management can provide up to 546 coal per day.
The Theatre of Blood commonly rewards several hundred noted coal.
Larran's chests commonly rewards several hundred noted coal.
Ordan runs a shop within the Blast Furnace which periodically stocks up to 100 coal.

Other methods

Zalcano provides significant quantities of raw ore, coal, and metal bars used to train Smithing.

Blast Furnace

The Blast Furnace is only accessible if a player unlocks the Fremennik Provinces area. Any ore smelted requires 50% less coal. All ore is processed instantly. Ice gloves are provided upon unlocking the Fremennik Provinces area. The Blast Furnace will be operated by dwarf NPCs who charge players 72,000 coins per hour. Players with below level 60 Smithing must pay an additional 2,500 coins to the Foreman every 10 minutes for access to the Blast Furnace.
