[[File:Gold bar detail.png|100px|left|A detailed image of a gold bar.]]
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 [[Superheat item]] on a gold ore. This normally gives 22.5 Smithing [[experience]] per bar, but if the [[Goldsmith gauntlets]] from the [[Family Crest]] quest are worn, the experience is boosted to 56.2 per bar. Smelting gold '''will not''' fill any type of smelting urn.

Gold bars cannot be made into weapons and armour as other bars can. Instead, the primary use of gold bars is to create [[jewellery]] with the [[Crafting]] skill. To craft gold bars into jewellery, players must use a gold bar on a furnace with the proper [[mould]] in their inventory or Toolbelt. If players wish to craft jewellery with [[gems]] inset, they must also have the gems in their inventory.

Apart from jewellery, gold bars can be used to create [[Gold helmet]]s, which are used in the [[Between a Rock...]] quest to access [[Dondakan's mine]], and [[Gold bowl]]s which are used in the [[Legends' Quest]]. Despite their name, [[Gold leaves]] used in [[Construction]] cannot be made by players in any way, and can only be purchased from the [[Stonemason]] in [[Keldagrim]]. Likewise, gold bars '''cannot''' be used to make [[Decorative armour|gold trimmed armour]] or [[gilded armour]].

Gold bars can also be bought from the G.E. Another way to obtain them is to loot [[eclectic impling]]s, which can occasionally be looted for 5 [[noted]] gold bars.

==Value==
A gold ore is worth {{GEPrice|Gold ore}} coins, while a gold bar is worth {{GEPrice|Gold bar}} coins. Thus, buying a gold ore and smelting it into a gold bar, then selling it, results in a loss of {{formatnum: {{#expr: ( {{GEPrice|Gold ore}} - {{GEPrice|Gold bar}} ) }} }} coins. Despite the loss involved, many players buy gold ores and smelt them, especially while using the [[Goldsmith gauntlets]], as an efficient method of training [[Smithing]]. Doing this results in a higher rate of experience than smelting [[rune bars]].

With a [[Necklace mould|necklace]] (F2P) or [[bracelet mould]] (members) in your toolbelt you can smelt the gold bars into [[gold necklace]]s (F2P) or [[gold bracelet|bracelets]] (members) and sell at the GE considerably cutting the loss for smelting the ore. This will yield slower Smithing experience but provide some Crafting experience. A gold necklace is worth {{GEPrice|Gold necklace}} coins and gold bracelet is worth {{GEPrice|Gold bracelet}} coins.

You can also buy the bars directly from the Grand Exchange and smelt them to almost double your investment for necklace making or get even more from bracelet making. This will give modest Crafting experience.
