Here's the story-I've been making cash in any way possible, though it is difficult for me as a skiller, because I usually don't like selling raws or ores...etc., but after a lot of oaks and countless other worthless methods, I finnaly got 3M, and then bought a whip. I had fun with it, did pest control for a few days, and then got bored with it, as i usually do with melee. Then, a broke man, i stared at my stats and wondering how I should make cash. I had always heard that runecrafting is a wonderful method, so I spent 300k and a glory in my house, thinking that it was efficient, but later realized that even if I do get pked, I still lose pouches, so that was out of the question. I had recently got smithing up to my mining level (62 atm) by smelting iron bars, which isn't a bad way of making cash. I ended up smelting about 14k and sold the bars for 200-250 each. Then, i sorta stared at my stats again... I didn't really think of anything intriguing, so I searched my stats in the highscores and found that my worst ranked stat was mining. I had never really cared for mining, it was one of those repetitive skills that you actually had to pay attention to, unlike woodcutting or cooking, etc., so I had the wild thought that i should get 100k iron ore, just for fun. This ill be a very difficult goal for me, and I have thought it out. There will be 3 phases- 1)Mine 100k iron ore. 19k/100k iron ore mined 62/73/85 This will be extremely boring, and I am quite aware of that. To break up the utter monotony, I will not smith, but rather get agility levels. I want to have a pic of 100 iron ore and i need agility levels for roving elves and the benefit of mining, so that's what I will do. I will be mining north of Yanille, as it is the easiest to bank. While I am there, i will be farming in the nearby hops patch and getting sand from bert, if I ever do the quest. Using the tip.it planner, I will have 86 mining. Why not just 85? 86 is for fun. :thumbsup: 2)Smelt 100k iron ore into bars. 0/100k Smelted 62/62/85 I am hoping that wearing a glory will pay for the rings of forging, but if not, I will buy them. I will be smelting using the port phasmatys and farming in the nearby farm to break up this monotony. Just like the mining part, i want a bank pic of 100k iron bars. 3)Smith 100k iron bars into 500k iron knives and then sell. 0/500k smithed 62/62/85 I will be using Yanille again for this phase. Im not completely sure if this anvil is better than varrock, but I know that it is less crowded (so I don't accidentally "use iron bar -> [person]"). Just like the mining phase, I will be farming and getting sand. Using the tip.it smith/smelt planner, I will end up with 86 smithing. After this goal is completed, I am hoping on getting 15-20M off of the knives, and then I will do a few other things with it- Get 99 cooking. 76/83/99 At current market prices (250 each for raw lobs and 200 each for cooked lobs) It will cost about 5M to get the nessicary 12M xp. I will use the forums (both official and tip.it) to get the raw lobs and then sell them in world 1 or 3 edge, and see what I can sell on the forums. I will eventually be cooking sharks, but am going to wait a while to get a good grasp on market prices. Get 99 Fletching. 75/81/99 This will be another long-term goal, but I will use the cash from the iron knives to buy lots of yews and bs and then use forums to get free fletching xp. Get 94 mage. 65/70/94 This, yet again, will take a while. I will achieve this goal through alching, of course. If I manage to come through with this, I will do desert treasure and pk. (94 mage at 87 combat=0wnage!) Of course, 85 will also be satisfying. Oh, and the other skills I have mentioned- Agility-45/46/70 I am looking for about 60-70 agility, mainly to eventually do ME2, and also mine better. Farming-31/38/50 I don't really know how high this will get, but I am hoping for about 50. I will be farming sweetcorn, hops, and herbs, so I will get herblore up a bit, and then do Legends Quest. I will be posting pics at every major level I get. Wish me luck! :thumbsup:
