Considering gold bars cost 94 gp, and 99 mining takes about 45k ores, you'd be making a grand total of 4.3mil selling them, in return for slower xp that proably wastes a lot more than 4 hours (assuming you can make 1m per hour, which is quite easy these days). Then crafting with gold is horribly slow xp. D'hides would only cost about 1.5-2mil per hour and give 250k+ per hour, and then if you ever become rich gems would be best. So I'd just drop them. Unless you don't care about efficiency. In which case the first post already answered it. OR, with free trade comming back, you could trim some armor for free :thumbsup:
