Sets are commonly used to reduce the amount of bank space taken up, which is especially useful in Free-to-play. To smith a set, 13 steel bars are necessary. (5 for platebody, 3 for legs, 2 for helm, and 3 for kiteshield), and if done from scratch (including smelting of steel bars), 1 set will grant a total of 715 smithing experience. Smithing just the armour components from steel bars grants 487 smithing experience. File:Steel armour set (lg) equipped.png
