A gold bar is a bar of refined gold created through the Smithing skill at level 40 by using a gold ore with a furnace, or by casting the Superheat item spell on gold ore, granting 7 Smithing experience per bar which fills a plain smelting urn or better.

Unlike other metal bars, gold bars cannot be made into weapons or armour. Instead, their primary use is to create jewellery with the Crafting skill. To craft gold bars into jewellery, players must use a gold bar on a furnace with a proper mould in their inventory or on their tool belt. If players wish to craft jewellery with gems inset, they will need cut gems in their inventory before crafting the jewellery.

Apart from jewellery, gold bars can be used to create gold helmets, which are used in the Between a Rock... quest to access Dondakan's mine, and gold bowls which are used in the Legends' Quest.

A gold bar spawn can be found in the Varrock West Bank vault, obtainable only with the Telekinetic Grab spell. One is also rewarded from completion of the Goblin Diplomacy quest, and two from completion of Waterfall Quest.

Cost analysis

A single gold ore is worth 926 coins, while a gold bar is worth 2304 coins. Thus, buying a gold ore and smelting it into a gold bar, then selling it, results in a profit of 1,378 coins.

It yields more experience and is generally more profitable to add a gem to create jewellery. A gold bar by itself can make the following:

Item	GE value	Profit (ore)	Profit (bar)
Gold ring	1,085	159	−1,219
Gold necklace	1,367	441	−937
Gold bracelet	952	26	−1,352
Gold amulet	1,242	316	−1,062

Notes

• A gold bracelet can be sold to Grum's Gold Exchange in Port Sarim for 165 coins each.
• A Rogue can be found in Varrock which will purchase noted and un-noted golden jewellery from players, after completing the quest Summer's End. To find him, players must enter the Spirit Realm using Jennica's ring via the portal located in the Rogues' Castle courtyard and close the prison doors there; this will open them in the "real" world, allowing the players to access him later in Varrock.

Price history

For a long time, gold bars had a low price (usually at around 90 coins, lower than even the bronze bar) due to Goldsmith gauntlets (historical), which greatly boosted the experience gained from smelting gold ore. In addition to that, Perfect juju mining potions used to automatically smelt and bank ores, which allowed miners to get hundreds of gold bars per hour without having to bank.

With the release of Invention, the price of bars increased to 400 coins due to being a readily available source for Simple and Crafted parts. The price increased even further due to the Mining and Smithing rework, which turned the gauntlets into Smelting gauntlets and changed the effect of Juju mining potions to no longer automatically smelt bars. The latest spike in price came with Archaeology due to the popularity with banking materials with Sign of the porter which requires various gold jewellery, pushing gold bars above 1000 coins each.
