A maximum of 60 bars can be smithed at once using the Make-X interface. Each bar takes 8 ticks (4.8 seconds) or 288 seconds for all 60 bars. These bars do not add to or change smithing progress or heat. A total of 750 Protean bar can be smithed per hour.
The only smithing bonuses that work with protean bars are bonus XP and the <a href="/rs3/special/skill-outfits#smithing">Blacksmith's Outfit</a>
<br /><br />
Protean bars can be converted into any other protean item at a rate of 3:2. Every 3 protean bars becomes 2 of the chosen protean item.
Likewise, any other protean items can be converted into protean bars with the same rate of 3:2. Every 3 chosen protean items become 2 protean bars.
