Item-Specific Info
Some items can only be smithed after completing a quest, and others may need to be smithed in a specific way. Here is some useful info to help you out.
Bronze Wire
Currently Bronze Wire is used only in the Creature of Fenkenstrain and Shilo Village Quests.
Bronze-Rune Nails
These are smithed 15 at a time, and are used in certain quests including Dragon Slayer, Horror From the Deep, In Search of the Myreque and Zogre Flesh Eaters. They are also used in the Construction skill for building furniture.
Dart Tips
Smithed 10 at a time, although you must first complete the Tourist Trap Quest before having the ability to make them. You can add feathers to make them into a throwing weapon.
Claws
These can be smithed after completing the Death Plateau Quest.
Cannonballs
After smelting a bar of Steel, use the Bar with a Furnace while carrying a Cannonball Mould with you. They are made in sets of 4, using a single Steel bar each time. You can only make these after completing the Dwarf Cannon Quest.

The Basics
What Does Strength Do?
Strength is a very valuable skill used in Melee combat. The higher your Strength, the higher you will hit during combat. It's for this reason that most PKers have a very high Strength compared to their other stats. There are also some pieces of equipment that require you to have a certain amount of Strength to wield.
Training Strength
By clicking on the Attack Styles icon (the one with the crossing swords), you'll be able to choose between the different kinds of attacks you can use with your currently equipped weapon. To train your Strength, you'll want to choose the "Aggressive" style from the menu.
Each time you inflict one damage point on your opponent, you'll earn 4 Strength experience. You can also use the "Controlled" method of some weapons to train all of your melee skills (attack, defense and strength) and earn 1.3 experience to each.
In the picture below, the box is accessible by clicking the Equipment icon (right of the inventory icon), which allows you to equip and unequip items. The “Show Equipment Stats” will pop-up the box you see is in the picture. It will contain what you’re wearing, an enlarged picture of yourself, and your stats. Strength bonus is located under “Other bonuses”. The higher that number is, the more damage you will deal in combat.
Boosting Your Strength
There are a number of ways to temporarily boost your Strength.
Potions - There are a few potions in RuneScape that will give you a generous strength boost
Drinks - Several alcoholic beverages will increase your strength level for a short time.
Prayers - 3 Prayers exist that will allow you to inflict extra damage in battle.
Special Attacks - Some special attacks will increase your strength greatly when used.
All of these methods will be described later on in this guide.
