Smelt ores into bars at a furnace and hammer them into gear at an anvil — bronze at 1 through runite at 85, with the coal ratio rising at every tier. Plus Crafting, Cooking, Fletching, Herblore and Runecrafting.
Artisan skills turn raw materials into something better: bars and armour, potions, food, bows, jewellery and runes. XP on this page is base XP, before your game mode's rate is applied (see Game Modes).
