well i never tried gold ores but i think they are... you can only make 5 plates ea inv... therfore you need to be fast going to anvil and back..the fastest xp for me!
i think: fastest: steel plates cheapest: iron (plates or arrows\knives and sell to break even) overall best: i think steel because its the "fastest" (you'll loose money)
well if u sell it... price like 25-30k [not 100% sure] if u get a crystal key (whole key) - u get a d stone and other random stuff (including: spinich roll, gems, runes, nothing, rune legs, another half key.. etc...)
well as i have 99 crafting what i did was: up to 80 - cow hides , and flax - (did some rings,amulets i needed aswell) then 80+ i did blue dragon hides - its a loss of money but fast XP now if you craft ure nats, and buy green d hides for 1.5k ea, you can break even... and is reletively fast (excluding the alching ;) well good luck :D
aw Jake_Corsair said firemaking is boring....alot of clicks + if u really want to burn fast you couldnt chat/browse forums etc... it just need to be a dedicated time between u and firemaking.. good luck :wink:
cannon balls are slow xp :S bt good money - well iron knives are good because u wont actually make losses - but if ure just looking for xp not cash .. you should make steel plates - good xp but alot of loss -
