I have a real bad dilemma. i have mined 500 iron ore. i have a buyer for all that at 50k for all the ore. But since i am f2p, i thought i could just sell the ore and get money then buy bars to gain smithing. But then my friend (who is p2p) told me he could take my 500 ore and make 500 bars using some kind of ring. With all those bars, i could make 100 iron plates and then alch them. What i am wondering is, should i sell the iron ore(50k) or make them into iron plates and them alch em? Would i lose money by doing this? Help plz.
