I'm at level 40 smithing and I want to know what the best way to train smithing is.

Smelt steel/iron bars and make pl8's out of them then alch them.

Yeah, steel works well.

 

 

 

For F2P, smelt ores in Al-kharid and then, when you have 75 bars, head to

 

the anvil just south of the west Varrock bank and make your 15 steel plates.

 

They will hi-alch for 18000 gp

 

 

 

Steel is popular because the ores are readily available

 

and you get decent exp per ore used.

 

 

 

Hope this helps

there are 3 ways using steel:

 

1. most time, most profit-mine all your coal iron(or buy for faster time but less profit), smith into steel bars @ al-karid, sell 600 each.

 

 

 

2.medium time, medium profit-same as above, but smith bars into steel plates and either high alch(55 mage) or maybe sell for 1k each(idk if this would work).

 

 

 

3.low time, HIGH loss-buy steel bars 550-660 each, smith steel plates, high alch(u loose 1.8k per plate this way)

you'd still be losing money on the second way, since the materials are 500 each...unless you mined your own. but imo, the last way is best, since you can still make good money while getting pretty good exp.
