JaggedSpike Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Am I the only who realizes this skill is now obsolete? At the normal price of ores, no smith can buy ores, smith those ores without losing most of their money. Smithing has ultimately become obsolete; you can't smith anymore. The prices of ores skyrocket, the prices of armour stay the same, yet people get richer and richer. Darned inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffrichie Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 awww mine them then if u cant buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yondo Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 The solution is simple: Mine ore. Not only does this give you ores to smith, it also manages to lower prices in the World because the demand for ores is less. The less ore buyers, the less expensive the ores are. It's simple economic... but don'y feel bad. Bush can't understand it either :P ~Yondo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeob1 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Or you work out a deal with a miner where you give a % of the stuff you make with the ores the miner provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynical1 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Buy coal, mine the other stuff... thats what I do and I'm still making money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJinX0r Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 only p2pers (like me) sell ores at high prices. it doesnt take long to find buyers for addy at 800gp each and mith for 400gp each. its imo, its always better to mine the ore then the coal since coal is so very cheap and that u can get alot more then just buying the ores and mining coal. anyways, all my buyers are very strong, maybe 90+. maybe there trying to do legends?

rathofdoom Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 If you put your mind to it and mine tons of ores, you can make tons of money off smithing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal_Bandini Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I dont think its obselete, I just think smithing and mining and boring, Although training is too, but pking is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepureskull Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 well, the money u lose kinda contributes to the time saved from not mining and faster smithing xp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 The solution is simple: Mine ore. Exactly, mining and smithing go hand in hand :wink: This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cody116 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 To tell the truth..you don't even have to do that. If you already have a high smithing lvl like 55 or so...just stand around and ask ppl if you can smith for them...in most occasions they will say yes and you will have quick lvl ups.

Guest Hosan Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Okay then, I'm gonna easily disprove your theory. 5 addy ores costs 3500 gold. 30 coal costs 4500 gold. 4500+3500=8000. Smelt 5 addy bars and smith an addy plate. Sell addy plate for 2000 gold. 2k profit, and a good bit of exp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJinX0r Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 its quite easy to buy coal at 100ea. and if u go to free world, u cn sell a addy plate for a good 10-15 k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n64jive Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 smithing rune plates is very profitable if u have 98 or 99 smithing because the price of ore is what 15k each so that means that ur making 60k worth or something and selling it for 80k so how can u say ur not making a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To all people who say make addy plates and sell on the market: You won't be able to sell 10000 addy plates on the market quickly... And you'll even need a lot more than that for 99 smithing. Selling the items you make on the market is not an option if you want to reach high smithing, besides that it is very inefficient. You're obsolete. lol Nice spam :roll: The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever.
