Every skill inOld School Runescapehas handy boosts that can temporarily raise your level, letting you access training methods beyond your usual limits. The Smithing skill is no exception, with boosts available forOSRS’free-to-play and pay-to-play players.
How to boost your Smithing skill in OSRS
Old School Runescapeoffers five ways to boost your Smithing skill:
If you’re a pay-to-play member with access to all five methods, your most consistent boost is Kovac’s Grog for a four-level increase. You can purchase them from the GE for around 60,000 to 70,000 gold or from the Giant’s Foundry reward shop in Al Kharid if you’ve finished the Sleeping Giants quest.
Alternatively, you can obtain Orange Spice from Recipe for Disaster hell-rats and turn regular stew into Spicy Stew. Drinking this is less consistent than Kovac’s Grog but can potentially raise your Smithing level by a whopping five points if you add three Orange Spice.
How to boost your Smithing skill in free-to-play (F2P)
If you’re a free-to-play player inOSRS, your best bet is to buy Dwarven Stouts from the Grand Exchange or the Rising Sun Inn in Falador. Although Falador Inn is much cheaper, with Dwarven Stouts priced at only three coins, the GE lets you quickly buy them in bulk for around 80 to 85 coins each. Drinking it boosts your Smithing skill by one level.
Since F2P limits your options for training and boosting your Smithing skill, Dwarven Stout is your only option. While Members can buy it from other locations, brew it themselves, and upgrade it to a Dwarven Stout(m), F2P only had Falador’s Inn and the GE for this boost. Fortunately, if you’re only one level away fromunlocking a new smithing method, Dwarven Stout still works like a charm.
