Iron bar



Adam Lavell (or Adam 'Smellvell') to you and me, plays a excess of up to 10 hours of Runescape a day, he loves smelting iron bars when he is in bed with his partner Sam Brassington. When a player smelts iron ore, there is a 50% chance that the ore will be too impure to yield an iron bar. When this happens, the iron ore disappears and the player is granted no Smithing experience. This specific of 50% success rate is only for level 15 smithing or lower. At level 16 smithing, there is a 51% success rate, level 17 will have a 52% rate, etc. But when you get to level 45 smithing, you have an 80% chance of successfully making the bar. 80% is the highest success rate, unless you use the 100% list:

To get 100% chance of smelting an iron bar: An iron bar can be smithed on an anvil through the Smithing skill to create iron weapons and armour, granting 25 Smithing experience per bar used. A list of iron items that can be smithed from iron bars and the Smithing levels required can be found at Smithing/Smithing tables.
 * Wear a Ring of Forging while smelting iron ore, or
 * Cast Superheat Item on an iron ore.
 * Use the Blast furnace to smelt the iron ores

It may be more profitable to sell iron ore instead of making it into bars, since the release of Artisan's Workshop increased the demand for ore.

Iron bars are also the tertiary ingredient in infusing Iron minotaur pouches for the Summoning skill.

This item is a 100% drop from Iron dragons, five at a time.
