1. The best locations are those that are convenient to get to.
  2. The best locations are those that offer a variety of activities and attractions.
  3. The best locations are those that have a lot to offer visitors.

Prifddinas is the best place to P2P with high requirements, Shilo Village is second best with much lower requirements, Neitiznot Edgeville is the best place for F2P and low-level members, and Blast Furnace is the special furnace/minigame with the best exp and money per hour. ..

Furnaces are used to create things like jewelry and bars from ore.

Despite the multiple furnaces available throughout Gielinor, it’s best to stick to the ones closest to a bank. This will minimize travel times and maximize experience per hour.

Best Furnace Spots & Their Advantages

Prifddinas

Prifddinas is a city of the Elves, located in the middle of nowhere. It’s a small town with few residents, and it’s known for itsElf-made products. The city is also home to the Elf capital, which is where the government and most of theElf population lives.

The furnace is located on the south-easter side of the city, between the bank and the Trahaearn mine. This location is advantageous because it allows for a high rate of fire when using it, making it one of the best furnaces in the game.

The Smiths Forge is a great place to get your metalworking needs taken care of. They have an anvil right next to it, should you want to put your freshly made bars immediately to good use. ..

The Prifddinas quest requires the completion of the Song of the Elves, a grandmaster quest.

Shilo Village

The furnace at Shilo village is essentially the same distance away from a bank (give or take a step) as the one in Prifddinas, but with a small catch. The furnace costs more to use, and it takes longer to heat up.

Players that haven’t completed the Elite Karamja Diary will have to pay 20 coins every time they want to use the bank. This isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it’s more than zero.

The furnace in the game is an excellent spot to overheat, as it is overshadowed by any other furnace in the game.

The intermediate quest “Shilo Village” is required to access the village.

Neitiznot

This one is a favorite of mine.

This furnace has a unique feature that makes it better than the others.

If you’re playing on mobile, it’s possible to align your screen and make it so that you can click/tap the furnace and bank, without having to rotate the camera again. ..

This phone case has a built-in scaping tool that makes it perfect for players that want to get a little bit of scaping action on their phone.

The glassblowing workshop at the museum offers visitors the chance to create their very own pieces of art from molten glass. ..

To complete the quest “The Fremennik Isles,” partial completion of the quest is required.

Edgeville

The Edgeville furnace is the best furnace for smelting in a free-to-play world.

The Al-Kharid bank is the closest one to a bank by far.

Thanks to its lack of requirements, the app is great for members who have yet to unlock any of the better aforementioned locations. ..

The Blast Furnace

This isn’t really a furnace, but I had to mention it because it’s essentially the same act of smelting, but with extra steps.

The Blast Furnace is a minigame where players work together to operate a large dwarven machine, and produce metal bars at half the regular coal costs (so a rune bar would only need 2 coal).

This method of smithing results in the best experience and gold per hour for smithing in the game.

The rewards of smithing are definitely worth it.

Blast Furnace is a great way to make money, but you’ll want to wait until you’re 60 smithing and/or have unlocked the Ice Gauntlets before using it. Doing so will avoid unnecessary work and payments. ..

Bonus Smithing Tips & Tricks

  1. Make sure you have the correct tools to work with a furnace.
  2. Be sure to follow the safety instructions that come with your furnace.
  3. Be sure to keep your furnace clean and free of debris.

Wearing a Ring of Forging raises the chance of successfully creating an iron bar from 50% to 100%. The ring has 140 charges and needs to be replaced after they’re all used up and it breaks. Wearing the Varrock Armour from the Varrock diary gives a 10% chance of smelting two bars at once while using the Edgeville furnace. The first armour works up to steel, and each subsequent tier upgrades it further (up to rune). A Coal Bag can be purchased from Motherload Mine at the cost of 100 gold nuggets. It’s extremely useful when creating anything that requires coal, since it can hold an extra 27 coal in your inventory. The Goldsmith Gauntlets from the quest “Family Crest” greatly increase the experience of smelting gold ore into bars (from 22 to 56). While equipped, the Smithing Skillcape allows the Coal Bag to hold an additional 9 coal, and gives the same boost as the Goldsmith Gauntlets (unfortunately, they don’t stack). In a pinch, Superheat Item spell (regular spellbook) can be used to smelt a bar on the spot. It’s also a pretty decent way of training magic and smithing at the same time! Weight-reducing gear such as the Graceful Outfit can help with keeping up your run energy, letting you run constantly to and from bank without having to walk.
