March 15, 200719 yr Hello everyone, I am going for 85 smithing. I am going to be doing this by smelting steel bars and then smelting cannon balls. This seems to be a very profitable way to get your smithing level up. If you can manage to buy coal for 200gp each and Iron for 100gp each then you should be netting 500gp per steel bar! Since it takes some time to make the cannon balls I will try to conserve time by smelting my steel bars with super heat item. This will add additional time to my training because I will be making my own nature runes. However, I do not mind doing such because I will be raising my magic level and rune crafting level! As of now I am about to hit lvl 64 smithing. So that would mean I will need 66k steel bars and thus need to make 264k cannon balls. My plan of attack is to make about 4k cannon balls every day. I may not stick to it every day. For bare minimum I will do 4k cannon balls every other day and if possible every day. I will be buying my coal and iron and selling the cannon balls. If I can manage to do this it should bag me 18 mil (assuming I make 280gp per bar) So if there is anyone out there that is selling iron and coal regularly perhaps I can become a preferred customer. I will buy iron for 100gp each and coal at 200gp each. I will buy 2k coal and 1k iron at a time. I do not want to get too invested in this project. As time progresses I may double my order or maybe even triple it. However, my maximum order size will be for 10k coal and 5k iron. For now I will start small. So wish me luck. I will be posting everyday on my progress as to what I did that day.
March 15, 200719 yr 264k cannonballs at 4k a day is 66 days, so in about 2 months tou will be finished. good luck :thumbsup:

March 15, 200719 yr Wow good luck. Don't be a giver-upper noob. Quit - October 7th, 2007.1700 Total, 4 years of RS.^Click for Blog^
March 15, 200719 yr Author I won't give up. Just realize it may take me longer than 66 days ^^; Maybe I should define a date where I will have it done... Lets say before March I will complete my goal!

March 15, 200719 yr Author Did I say March? I meant the end of June! I finally got to 66 magic so I am going to stock up on rune ess and then stock up on nature runes. Going to make 5k nats at a time. Using super heat to make the steel bars seems to improve the speed a lot!
March 15, 200719 yr GL man youll have a fortune when you're done. Main: Snw rifleman - FINISHED DESERT TRESURE 11/5/08 WOO Just your typical asian who likes to play games =)
March 15, 200719 yr Author 70 mil not too bad eh? Ill probably save several thousand cannon balls for myself hehe... Thinking of setting a bigger goal. Since I am making runes I think it won't be too boring and I could do my routine for a good while. Lets see if I can get to 100k cannon balls by the end of this month!
March 15, 200719 yr Author You should buy the bars will be faster, but gl anyways =D> If I bought the bars it would be less exp...
March 15, 200719 yr I'm curious as to how you're gonna make 500gp a bar. Because cannon balls sell for 200 max. Even at bulk. And since you're spending 500 a bar, and if you find a buyer for 200 per, you're only gonna be making 300gp a bar. But Gl anyways =D> My picture was of a glitchBut the Tipit mods are stupid.

And since you're spending 500 a bar, and if you find a buyer for 200 per, you're only gonna be making 300gp a bar. But Gl anyways =D> Yeah, I keep saying 500 a bar for some reason. I don't know why. Maybe that is what I want to believe. Still 200gp a bar is still better than a negative cash flow... So yes, 300gp a bar!
March 15, 200719 yr Nice, I'm curious if you're gonna make it. I personally find cannonballs a little to slow now. Goodluck :D Credits to Skully Sc for the signature.
March 15, 200719 yr Just use the bank at Ghost Ahoy town.

March 15, 200719 yr Good luck! I thought i was going to die just making like 5k of them. :wall: 99 Pics - Range, Defence, HP, Attack, Magic, Strength, Cooking
March 16, 200719 yr Author March 15th Today I made 4k cannon balls and mined 5k rune ess. Tomorrow I will be making 5k nats. At first my plan was to use them to superheat. However, I have 10k yew logs I need to take care of. So I will be high alching some yew long bows today and smelting bars the old fashion way!
March 17, 200719 yr Author March 16th I haven't played at all today. Tomorrow I will be making nats and caughting up on making my steel bars!
March 17, 200719 yr Good luck with your goal. For rune ess you might try temple trekking routes 2 and 3. I think it might prove to be faster than mining it and you have the chance to pick up coal and iron for free. jfroggy
