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 or [[toolbelt]], and then a selection screen will come up. After [[4 October]] [[2011]] update, it is possible to use anvils by left-clicking on them once. Right-clicking now also reveals a 'smith' option.

[[File:Anvil icon detail.png|left]]

There are several anvils located around the RuneScape world which are identified with an anvil [[File:Anvil icon.png]] [[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 [[File:Anvil.png|left|150px]]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 [[spear]]s and [[hasta]]e.

| style="vertical-align: top;"|[[Lumbridge]]
| style="vertical-align: top;"|Right next to the main smithing furnace in Lumbridge.
|-
|[[Varrock]] west
|Three anvils, closest to the western Varrock bank/Grand Exchange; low-level players can buy smithed items from higher level smiths.
|-
|[[Varrock]] centre
|Two anvils in Horvik's shop.
|-
|[[Varrock]] east
|Two anvils just south of the bank on the east side. Used in the Hard difficulty [[Varrock Tasks]] to make a [[Adamant helm]].
|-
|[[Doric|Doric's]] workshop
|Next to the furnace, which can only be used if players have completed [[What's Mine is Yours]] (having completed [[Doric's Quest]] before the update also works). There are also five more anvils in the cavern below the workshop.
|-
|[[Dwarven Mine]]
|Two anvils that may be helpful if players are [[Superheat Item]] smelters, or by entering the South entrance from Falador, and the furnace there.
|-
|[[Thurgo's Peninsula]]
|South of [[Port Sarim]], though there is little reason to smith here. The nearest bank is in Falador, and the nearest general store that sells hammers is in Rimmington. But can be used by low level miners who have not completed [[What's Mine is Yours]] as is closest to Falador except for Doric's hut.
|-
|[[Draynor Village]]
|In the sewer dungeon, where [[zombie]]s and [[skeleton]]s lurk. This is used in the Lumbridge/Draynor Tasks. Beware, however, that the monsters here may be aggressive to low level players.
|-
|[[Wilderness]]
|In the Western Ruins, at level 23 [[wilderness]]. May be useful to smith bars made at Eastern Ruins [[furnace]] and make room for some more ores from the [[Bandit camp mining site|Hobgoblin mine]].
|-
|[[Daemonheim]]
|Closest to a furnace but only available while Dungeoneering.
|-

|-
|[[Gunnarsgrunn]]
|In the south-west most house. This is rarely used for smithing as the Varrock west anvil is much closer to the bank. However, it should also be noted that this is a [[Barbarian anvil]], which means it can be used to smith [[Hasta]]e and [[Spear]]s only.
|-
|[[Keldagrim]]
|There are five anvils in Keldagrim. One can be found southwest of the city's bank, in [[Saro]]'s [[Quality Armour Shop]]. This anvil's close proximity to the bank makes it fairly effective. A second anvil can be found in [[Wemund's Wrench Warehouse]] in [[Keldagrim Palace]], though it is somewhat far from a bank and the nearby furnace in [[Vigr's Warhammers]] is unusable. Three additional anvils can be found in the [[Blast Furnace]] factory, though they require 60 smithing to use.
|-
|[[Seers' Village]]
|West of bank.
|-
|[[Yanille]]
|Just south of the bank; also near the [[Wizards' Guild]].
|-
|[[Wilderness]]
|West of the [[Mage Arena]].
|-
|[[Hemenster]]
|West of the [[Ranging Guild]].
|-
|[[Nardah]]
|In the platelegs shop.
|-
|[[Port Khazard]]
|Just west of the Trawler activity.
|-
|[[Jatizso]]
|North of the platebody shop. Requires [[The Fremennik Trials]].
|-
|[[Miscellania]]
|Next to the coal mine.
|-
|[[Karamja]]
|North of [[Tai Bwo Wannai]].
|-
|[[Void Knights' Outpost]]
|West of the bank.
|-
|West [[Ardougne]]
|Along the north wall.
|-
|[[Burthorpe]]
|In the north-east corner.
|-
|[[Rellekka]]
|In the south-west corner there are three.
|-
|[[Ancient Cavern#Dragon_forge|Dragon forge]]
|In the area with mithril dragons. Can only be used to make dragon platebodies.
|-
|[[Dorgesh-Kaan]]
|The city's unique three-headed golden anvil be can be found in [[Bartak]]'s home in the southern part of the city. It functions as a standard anvil, and is different in appearance only. A furnace can be found in the same building; however, it can be used only for crafting [[glass]] and jewellery, and the nearest bank is somewhat far away, near the northern end of Dorgesh-Kaan.

==Trivia==
*If you try to use the "Smith" option without a hammer, an in-game message says; "You won't be able to make anything but a sore hand without a hammer." Interestingly, the Iron-fist smithing animation, purchased from Solomon's general store, does allow the player to seem to smith quite literally with their bare hands, although in truth the hammer is still necessary.
