Anvil



An Anvil is used to smith items through the Smithing skill. An anvil can be used to smith items by using a bar on an anvil while the player has a hammer in their inventory, and then a selection screen will come up. Since 4 October 2011 it is possible to use anvils by left-clicking on them and they recieve "smith" option into right-click menu.



There are several anvils located around the RuneScape world which are identified with an anvil icon on the world map and minimap.

The most convenient anvil may be that in Varrock, since it is directly opposite a bank/Grand Exchange. On 24 June 2010, Lumbridge got an anvil right next to the smithing furnace, arguably making it the most convenient anvil in the game, certainly for those who don't want to bank then travel to Varrock just to smith. There is also a box of hammers nearby, allowing players to completely fill their inventory with ore to smelt. It is advised to use the Culinaromancer's Chest if possible, and the bank on top of Lumbridge Castle if not).

There is no competition for anvils (since multiple players can use an anvil concurrently), but around a busy one, players may have to right-click and select, or they will often end up trying to use the metal bar on somebody standing by it.

There are several unusual anvils in Runescape. Included among these are the experimental anvil that players use in The Tourist Trap to help make a prototype dart, the tempered anvil in Kethsi, which is used to smith Bane projectiles after the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest, and the Barbarian Anvil in Otto's Grotto, used to smith spears and hastae.
