There’s a lot to craft inRunescape: Dragonwilds. As you build your strength to fight the Dragonkin and defeat them, you’ll need some good armor and weapons. In order to craft any good weapon or gear, you’ll need to learn how to smelt bars, as they serve as the primary component for a variety of things.
You will have to smelt bars out of any ore that you encounter before you’re able to use them to craft anything, and figuring out how to do it for the first time can be a challenge.
Runescape: Dragonwilds is currently in Early Access, and as the game develops, its content may change over time. If that happens, we’ll update our guide accordingly.
How To Smelt Bars
Smelting bars requires you to build a furnace. The recipe for a furnacewill unlock as soon as you acquire any ore, such as tin or copper, using a bone pickaxe, which can be crafted at a crafting table. After that, you’ll need the following items to build a furnace:
Stone

You can easily find stone boulders anywhere on the map, and you will have to mine these bouldersusing a pickaxe. Alternatively, you can also pick up stones from the ground individually.
Clay

Clay can be abundant in theWhispering Swampsarea, and you must mine these deposits using a pickaxe.

Fire Rune
10
Fire Rune can be crafted fromRune Essence on a Rune Altar.
Vault Shards can be obtained afterdefeating enemies inside a Vault.
After building a furnace, you’ll have to put ores inside to smelt bars. Bronze is the only thing currently that requires two different types of ores: tin and copper. Other than bronze, you can craft a bar out of any ore if you haveat least three of them in your inventory, alongside charcoal, which will be used as fuel for the furnace.
You can use theDetect Ore + Clayspell to detect nearby deposits of all kinds of ores and then use theRocksplosionspell to quickly mine the deposit.
Additionally, you’ll need abone pickaxeto mine copper and tin ores, and at least abronze pickaxeto mine any other type of ore.
