A runite ore and a runite bar. You don't want to decide to get 85 mining and/or smithing only to find you have nowhere to store your runite. Replace your talismen with tiaras.

Don't shards sell on the GE?

Umm. How does blast furnace work. What do I do and what inventory? Whats the official world? Check out tip.it's guide for using the furnace. On the official world, which I believe is 58, it will be crowded and running virtually nonstop at peak times. As for what to do - don't bother smithing your bars at the furnace. You will save a lot of money in the long run, and it won't cost you much time. What you want to do is place your house in Taverley. Set up your inv with cash, noted coal, a house teletab, and 25 unnoted mithril ores, and wear a dueling ring and weight reducing gear. Once you get your stuff together, tele to house, exit, and run a short distance NW to the path under White Wolf Mountain - there is a cart to Keldagrim right at the bottom of the stairs. Buy a ticket from the conductor, and then hop on the cart. Go smelt your bars in the furnace, tele to castle wars, and repeat. Once you have smelted however many bars you need, go somewhere to smith them. Then alch later. I prefer this to smithing at the furnace for a few reasons. First, the anvils at the blast furnace are behind a gate, which can be a pain to get through on the blast furnace world because it's crowded. Second, camping with noted mith ores to do plates is annoying, because you have to keep dropping and picking up various things in order to be able to do 25 at a time. Third, I can stock up on alchables and alch where I want to, which usually involved some other moneymaking or fun activity. And finally, it saves money.

Um, no, that is the unnoting cost of the ore, which is then added to the total cost of making the bar.

Smelt mith bars at the blast furnace. Smith into plates & alch. You lose about 100 coins per plate this way. Fast and economical.

You'll profit a lot more by banking your bars after smelting at the blast furnace, instead of staying there to smith into bolts, because you pay an extra 81 coins per bar in unnoting fees for each bar. And staying down there really isn't a whole lot faster than banking in between, if you know what you're doing. Putting your house in Taverley will get you very close to the cart to Keldagrim with a simple house teletab. You can smelt 600 bars per hour this way, and put the extra profits towards faster methods, like smithing plates.

10 antifires is way too many. I doubt you'd need more than 2 to get through a slayer assignment.

You people all realize that 1.3333333/4 is the same as 1/3, right? HP experience is 1/3 of the XP you get for melee/ranged.

Ancients at pest control, spending your points on HP.

You never 1 hit coal. Every ore besides iron cannot be mined with less than 2 hits, even clay. I don't 2 hit coal all that often at 88.

It will take a little over 10k gold ores to get to 70 smithing. The cost of the ores, even if you recover nothing from them, will be less than 5m. You can sell the bars to recover 2.3m. Alternately, you can craft them into amulets, and sell the unstrung amulets to recover slightly less, probably around 2.17m. AFAIK, unstrung amulets DO sell, because people use the string jewelry spell to train mage. So you're looking at losing 2.5-2.8m to get from 55-70 using gold ores. And you have the option of picking up some crafting XP along the way.

Get to 88 smithing. Buy addy ore and 3 times as much coal. Put your house in Taverley. Smelt the addy at the blast furnace, using dueling rings to bank and house tabs to tele to your house & return to the furnace via the cart there. If you use the blast furnace on the blast furnace world at busy times, you can smelt around 600 bars per hour this way. After smithing them into plates and alching the plates, you make around 300 gp per bar smelted. And it averages out to about 50k or so smithing XP per hour - assuming you can smith 2400 bars into plates per hour, it takes 5 hours to do 2400 bars. 240k XP in 5 hours is 48k XP per hour. And that's without the aid of SC hammers. Cannonballs are a complete waste of time for anyone that is >50 smithing.

Neither. Use a Macaw. Specters are close enough to a bank to make a war tortoise unnecessary, and the improved herb drops will greatly increase the value of this slayer task.

Yeah, but it's way easier to be able to make them yourself.

I would stick with master farmers instead of switching at 40. Much more useful (and valuable) loot. Also, when stealing from the cake stall, make sure you immediately eat any 1 bite food you get. You will occasionally get chocolate slices and bread, and you can quickly eat them and click on the stall when it respawns, and still steal right away. This is much easier than dropping them, and will extend your stay at the stall if you are banking your cakes.

You most certainly can get 99 herblore for less than 30m. You could even make money. But it will take ages.

The death rate for anything using supercompost is 1/8, regardless of your farming level.

Probably in the neighborhood of 15-18k XP per hour, at level 60.

You'll be mostly mining coal, which is reasonably fast XP for using the ores.

But as far as time goes, you don't have to add herbs to vials with tars, you just mix it directly with the tar. No vials to buy or anything, and you cut out a very time-consuming step in making potions. Simplest herblore XP there is.

Nice.

So the pack yak special works past level 30 wilderness?

That's just idiotic. He's asking the question because he wants to mine gold ore, not go make money to buy gold ore. I can tell you have no intention of admitting your response was unhelpful, but it was. Your "logical" answer, and every similar answer that litters threads like this are unnecessary, and a waste of everyone's time. A lot of players want to gather their own materials. That's why they make threads like this. Not to be told to go make money to buy the resource. OK?

I'm assuming to unnote the food to eat as needed. Barrows armor seems like a waste, having to break every 15 hours to repair. I think you'd be fine with rune or perhaps some dragon stuff.

Don't ask questions. Just give in to the power of the tea.
