Now that i have lvl 43 mage and a bunch of nats (1.7k to be exact) is it worth doing superheat?

 

I was thinking of using it in the wild to make steel bars in the "Skeleton Mine"

 

 

 

Anyways i wanna know if its a good money maker making steel bars?

 

also will i get smithing xp and mage xp when performing superheat?

With a fire staff, superheat is 300 gp per cast. Each cast you will get a steel bar which sells for 550-600 IIRC. So that's about -250 to -300 gp per cast. It gives mage xp and I'm not sure about smithing xp.

oh sweet. that wouldnt give me a bad profit, now i just need to find out if i get smith xp or not..

 

 

 

thanks for quick reply

I generally superheat mith or above.

 

 

 

for Steel, I find that using either nietiznot or Port Phantasmys, actually smelting is not that painful, and I am usually making cannonballs so nead a furnace anyway

 

 

 

I wouldn't bother superheating Steel....but it's up to you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OH...and yes you do get both smithing and magic xp...so there's the good news

 

 

 

cheers

Hmmm Addy bars works fine for me..

 

but coal 180 ea addy ore 800 ea nats 300 ea

 

So the total cost is 2180

 

profit of 20-120 gp per bar

 

and i can make 600 per hour...

 

1200 per hour is possible but i got a life :D

ok thanks.. so far my combat lvl is 31 (mage/range) and am using the skelly mine in wild for the steel casue there 3 coals and 2 iron. only problem with this is the skellys taking 10 mins to be non-agressive

 

so its annoying mining there..

 

 

 

if anyone gots a better place to mine coal and iron it would be greatly appreciated

 

 

 

am F2P btw

If your looking to get mage xp, super heat is a good way if yorgoing to be mining anyway :D

ok.

 

 

 

I want to know an experienced alcher if superheating the bars then making into steel pl8s and maybe alching em l8a on? is this a good process or would it be best just to SH em and then sell the bars for profit..

Hey there.

 

 

 

Well first let me say I superheat all my ores, but I'm also 99 rc, so I can make lots of natures very fast so it's no problem for me.

 

 

 

That aside, I still recommend doing it. The magic exp is really good, and it's faster to smith too.

 

 

 

The BEST part of it, however, is how often you have to bank. Because you can superheat, you can mine 3x the amount of ores or more with higher ores every trip. And that means faster mining.

 

 

 

It definitely is how I would do it if I were you. :D

Expensive, but faster (as all the expensive methods tend to be), I'd rather keep the nats for high alch or bind, or to superheat something higher than steel, as it uses more coal per zap.

 

 

 

The skeleton / steel mine is pretty poor - few ores, aggressive monsters and low level wilderness hazard - though I guess it's ok if the speed of mining is not a problem there.

yay dats my guide!

 

 

 

depends on what u mean by worth it, my guide makes the coal seem like its being sold for nothing, but u save a lot of time not having to walk and stuff

no it wastes nats
