MAD XP: Protean Bars and Brawling Gloves: 2.4M Smithing XP/hr?!

Brawling Gloves were originally added to RuneScape with the addition of PvP worlds after the Wilderness became non-PvP. When you wear them in the wilderness, they give 300% Bonus XP to the relevant skill. I want to show you one of the amazing uses for this obscure and rare item.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
You probably already know that Protean bars are super fast experience, at 450 base experience, 20% more experience than Smithing a Rune Platebody.. However, did you know that if you can obtain a pair of Brawling Gloves for the Smithing Skill, you can quadruple that amount, and this bonus even stacks with Bonus XP up to 8x the original experience. Both of these bonuses are applied after the boost from Blacksmith’s bonus XP armor set, too, so keep stacking those bonuses if you have the Treasure Hunter outfit – and all of these bonuses stack with the further 10% bonus experience from the Portable Forge in this method. Overall it’s possible to get over 900% experience for any smithing action, including Protean Bars, with this set-up.

In the clip you see here, I’m using Brawling Gloves, Bonus XP, a Two-Leaf Clover Necklace, and the Portable Forge bonus, putting me at 3999.6 EXP per Protean Bar with over 3.5k of that experience being bonus experience.

It takes five minutes to do 60 Protean Bars, the same length of time the Portable Forge lasts. As you can see, it’s possible to get well over 200k Smithing experience in that 5 minute span, and don’t forget that both Protean Bars and Portable Forges are stackable, meaning you don’t technically even need to factor banking time, and the math is very easy from there: There are 12 5-minute spans over the course of an hour, so with two full pairs of brawling gloves, 12 portable forges, 720 Protean Bars, and sufficient amounts of Bonus XP it’s entirely possible to train Smithing at the rate of 2.4 MILLION EXPERIENCE PER HOUR.

Oh, yeah, and even though I ran out of bonus experience on my second Portable Forge, the 700 Protean Bars I had accumulated over time were still worth a whopping 1.7Million Experience in only 90 minutes of real time, meaning even without Bonus XP for most of the time I still averaged at over 1 Million Experience per hour and went from Level 90 to 93 in only 90 minutes. Total GP investment was only 16 Portable Forges at 25k each, meaning only 400k GP.

This is by far the fastest way to train Smithing in the entire game, but admittedly Brawling Gloves are not the easiest thing to obtain – they are rare and exist for multiple skills so you might not even get the Smithing Brawlers.
