in the Special Calcs>Smithing Planner it says at the botom of it "This tool will not be expanded to other metals as they are not viable for mass smithing." I thought I should point out that addy platebodys are viable for mass smithing as they are cheaper than steel bars(platebodys) only slightly more expensive than gold bars(gauntlets) and are very fast xp. below is a detailed explanation of the cost of each type of bar. asuming you buy the gold ore and sell the gold bars once you make them gold bars xp(with gauntlets): 56.2 gold ore cost: 495 gp gold bar cost: 180 495 - 180 = 315 315 / 56.2 = 5.04 gp per xp asuming you buy the steel bars, nats, and alch the platebodys steel bars xp x 5(platebody): 187.5 steel bars cost: 643 x 5 = 3215 nature rune cost: 232 steel platebody high alch value: 1200 3215 + 232 = 3447 3447 - 1200 = 2247 2247 / 187.5 = 11.984 gp per xp asuming you buy the addy bars and sell the platebodys addy bar xp x 5(platebody): 312.5 addy bar cost: 2283 x 5 = 11415 addy platebody cost: 9793 11415 - 9793 = 1622 1622 / 312.5 = 5.1904 gp per xp asuming you buy the nature runes and buy the ores(then make bars) and alch the platebodys addy bar xp x 5(platebody): 312.5 addy ore cost: 1021 coal cost: 177 x 6 = 1062 addy ore + coal cost x 5(platebody): 10415 nature rune cost: 232 addy platebody high alch value: 9984 10415 + 232 = 10647 10647 - 9984 = 663 663 / 312.5 = 2.1216 gp per xp I'm not sure if you want to add them in or not, I just thought I would point it out sence I just finished 99 smithing doing addy platebodys. -All prices are market prices from the Grand Exchange database on the runescape website from the date of: 1/25/2009
