What is the fastest, and best way to raise your smithing lvl from 66 to 99, without losing money. Money does not have to be made, as long as it comes out around even.

 

 

 

Thanks for your help!

I don't think you can do it without losing money..

 

 

 

Unless maybe you buy steel, make arrow tips, then make arrows and sell em. Then you get some fletching xp. Aside from that, I don't think you can.

Buy 1k Mith Ore

 

Buy 1k Nature Runes

 

Buy 10k Feathers

 

Mine 4k Coal

 

 

 

Superheat 1k Mithril bars

 

Smith the bars into 10k Mithril Bolts

 

Flight the bolts by adding feathers.

 

Sell the bolts.

 

 

 

 

 

Use this same method for addy. Once you can make Rune Axes, I believe it is a profit in it's own. Also, making Iron Knives, and Cannonballs also are profitable, but much slower. Be sure to calculate the amount the materials would cost, and how much you can sell the end product for before beginning your task. Have fun. :)

Well i'm personally doing C balls to 99 (95/99 atm)

 

 

 

Thats 12k Xp an hour very very slow! :-k

 

 

 

But then you got mith bolts like 20k Xp an hour which kinda break even i heard. :-w

 

 

 

But with C balls ur starting at about the same lvl so i'd say you'd make 90M or so at 99 after u sell all the balls and profit off.

Buy 2k coal and 1k iron and make c balls at neitiznot island

 

each time you'l get a profit of 300k

I used to level smithing by soloing the blast furnace and making a combination of steel and mith arrowheads as well as steel plates. By doing this, you can manage to not lose money.

 

 

 

Making gold bars using the goldsmithing gauntlets is extremely fast, but gold ore is very expensive while gold bars sell for almost nothing. You can offset the loss by buying gold ore on f2p worlds and then using your bars to make rings of dueling and forging and then selling those on p2p worlds.

 

 

 

I found making cannonballs to be very slow.

Cannonballs are slow for sure...

 

 

 

There a way to combine power mining and smithing in one operation. After you get access to Phistashios Colony, you can mine load of iron ore, quickly go to the furnace (right behind the wall), make iron bars and smith them right there into iron sheets, sell/drop sheets and repeat the process.

 

 

 

This method makes both mining and smithing go up. No money lost and it is pretty quick. You just need some rings of forging.

My personal method for smithing (which got me 2 or 3 levels in around 3 hours or so, and I'm level 66 or something) was soloing the blast furnace and making Steel Platebodies. I even bought all my ore from the store. What I did was bought my stuff from the store, and manipulated my inventory so I could hold 25 steel bars. Make 5 plates and then alch them. I think I ended up profiting about 70k in about 240 plates(?). You may have to switch worlds every so often for a fresh stock of ores, but it's still rather consistent if you have the Nature Runes for it. I would recommend making your own Natures or try and finding them for VERY cheap, because I think you spend upto 1250gp for Steel Plates when both Coal and Iron are at low stocks (however, those prices are offset by the disproportionatly less costs when the stocks are full).

 

 

 

 

 

Whoa... "disproportionatly" is the longest word I've ever type on these forums... 17 letters, I think that's actually a record for longest word typed in full context on here...

do family crest and get the goldsmithing gauntlets ... do between a rock quest to get acess to mine ... get a unlocked ring of charous and mine gold ore in between a rock mine and give them to guy who takes to bank ... smith lots of gold ore ...
