Superheat Ore?

[RayOxide]

If say your smithing is like, 20 or so, but mining is 85+ and magic is 43+ then, can you make a rune bar (With the objects needed)

 

 

 

Also, does it give smithing points? Probably not

[primadog]

the spell gives normal smithing exp and requires the normal smithing levels.

[Bashful]

yup. you'll need lvl 85 smithing for it.

Okay. Ty. No real need for it then is there?

there are still uses for it, smelting runite ores being one of them. You can only smelt 3 bars per furnace trip, and you smelt that many in the same inv if you super heated, so it is much faster.

[Bashful]

its generally useful when you're mining ores that take time to respawn, with coal available and at a mine far from a bank.

 

 

 

some people use it with alch'ing ores.. letting them stay at the mines till their runes run out.

It is also useful for mining in the wild. There are a few places where it is faster to superheat then bank.

You also see mithril superheaters in the mining guild. It is an expensive way to smith, but cuts down on trips to the bank and to the furnace.

 

 

 

You could do more, but to compare (almost) full loads, I'll count 20 mithril.

 

 

 

The superheat way, needs 20 nature runes and a fire staff, mine mithril and coal, 4 coal to each mithril, superheat to bars (particularly during lulls in the mithril respawn), take 20 bars to bank.

 

 

 

The other way:

 

Mine 4 loads of 5 mithril and 20 coal (that's 4 2-way trips), then smelt 4 loads (another 4 2-way trips).

 

 

 

Some players like to superheat at the hobgoblin mine, but I'd rather not risk a pocketful of nats as well, not with the east ruins forge at somewhat lower wilderness level. Though superheating at the mine does give the potential for the hobgoblins to ignore you after a while
