The Artisans’ Workshop lets you smith Burial armour using iron, mithril, adamant, or rune ingots—and requires coal. You need 30 Smithing to start.

How to Start Smithing:

1. Store ores: Use your ores (noted or unnoted) on the central machine to convert them into ingots.

2. Select the correct side: East side for tier I/II/III ingots (west for tier IV ingots or rather ceremonial swords).

3. Choose an ingot tier:

   1. Tier I: 38,380 base XP per runite ore, for around 14,400,000 XP/hr
   2. Tier III: 14,402 base XP per runite ore, for around 19,000,000 XP/hr

   Generally, you should always use tier I ingots. Tier III ingots use 4 times as many resources, for half the XP per runite ore.

4. Withdraw ingots: Take a full inventory of your chosen ingot tier.

5. Smith at an anvil: Click any anvil in the workshop to open the Burial armour menu.

6. Follow instructions: A “current instructions” box appears at the top. You’ll earn 10% bonus XP for any items you make while following those instructions. However, you are not necessarily required to listen to them.

Tips

• If instructions change mid-item, you still get the 10% bonus when it finishes.
• Watch for burst pipes on the floor—fixing one grants free Smithing XP and 0.25% respect.
• Wear the Falador shield (prestige shop) to increase respect gain.
• You gain respect at a rate of 1% per 760,000 XP gained in any part of the workshop. This adds up to a total of 19,000,000 XP to unlock the cannon for the completionist requirement, and an additional 334,400,000 XP to unlock the trimmed completionist requirement.
• Once you have unlocked all rewards, you can speak to the dwarf to trade your respect in for cannonballs at a rate of 150 cannonballs per 1% respect.
• The created burial armor has no further use. Dispose of it at the eastern chute.
