What should I do with 1.1 M?

[nowaranger]

My stats are in my signature. I am F2P, and will spend it just to get XP in smithing or mining. I just don't know what exactly to spend it on. My main stats that I could use to make money are 76 Mining and 74 Smithing.

 

 

 

Any advice would be totally awesome!

[Mountdoom77]

You don't have a signature.

[nowaranger]

Well, I just meant 76 mining 74 smithing, what should I do with 1.1 mil. =D

[Mountdoom77]

Well if you're a F2p you can't do much but buy better weapons/armour or get your skills up.

No, he wants to spend it for smithing or mining. Well, if you just want smithing xp, you can buy coal and iron and smelt it to steel, make a pretty good profit. Mining is a free skill, dunno how you would spend geepees on it :-k

 

 

 

Bah! Curse you Nicrune008, and all your helpfulness!

[nicrune007]

how bout buying 2291 sets of 2coal + 1 iron

 

coal :190 ea iron:100 ea

 

then smelt to 2291 steel bars

 

to get ~40k smithing xp

 

and earn 2291x630 - 1100000 = 343k

 

 

 

and you have to spend around 5 hrs doing this

He can smelt addy, so if he can get his hands on addy ore and more coal I'm sure he wold prefer that.

 

 

 

Also you gotta spend money on the pickaxes :wink:

 

 

 

And if your really stuck for ideas to use that money on I'll take it :

[Dexek]

Mine either 1k Addy ore, or 6k coal. The one you choose not to mine, buy the remainder. Smelt these ores into 1k Addy bars (superheat if possible), then sell the 1k bars on the Official Runescape Forums for over 3M.

 

 

 

Yes.. F2P'ers can use the Official Forums, just can't post. Click "search", enter Addy Bars, click the topic that says buying, then add the username of the buyer. It is quite simple. :)

 

 

 

With this method you can get mining exp, smithing exp, and even magic exp. You will still turn a profit, and you will be able to level up 3 very important and expensive stats without any loss of money. I strongly suggest superheating if you can afford it because it will speed up the process and will still be within the budget. If you want to superheat and can not afford both buying ores and nature runes, then simply mine some of the ores until you can afford the Nature runes.

 

 

 

Good luck. :D

[Doomster]

Train magic (if needed), buy Nats, alch and/or superheat ?

 

 

 

Mining is definitely not buyable, but smithing is - one risky path would be superheating Addy at Hobgoblins.

 

 

 

Equipment:

 

Armour (melee/mage strength/price compromise)

 

Pickaxe

 

Fire Staff or runes (80)

 

Nature runes (20)

 

Some medium level food to use up

 

 

 

Add 1 more nat & 4 more fires, if you are happy to drop-shuffle the last bar and another set if you will double drop shuffle another one.

 

 

 

If you stay at Hobgoblins and superheat, they will stop attacking before you finish, making the melee defence requirement lower, but PKers normally attack with magic here. Stay deep within the mine area and pick a fight with a Hobgoblin if you see suspicious white dots. Make a sudden running break if a PKer is waiting for you to finish the Hobgoblin. If you carry a teleport, you still have to run to level 20 to use it.

I would personally invest it. That 1.1M could easily become 2M. Theres a lot of good guides availible that makes it easy to do that kind of stuff :-w

 

 

 

That way you could buy more ores and get your stats even higher, because once you deplete all your money, its hard to get back up. Its best you have some left to invest, because the more money you have, the easier it is to make money. Hope that helps! :

[nowaranger]

Wow thanks!

 

 

 

I guess I will buy 1k nats, and start superheating addy ore and coal together at the hobgoblin mine. I went there just then, and it doesn't seem bad at all.

 

 

 

Then, I think you all think I should sell the 1k addy bars for over 3 M, and make a huge profit?

 

 

 

It will take time, but I'm willing to do it! =D

 

 

 

I guess I don't have to world hop since I can mine the addy ores, then go superheat them, and then by that time the addy ores will have respawned. Hmm.

[Dexek]

Yep, as I said, sell the bars. Don't bother smithing them, the superheating is good enough. Enjoy the cash, and thank the Rune X-bow update for the price rise in Addy Bars. :)

[meol]

Wow thanks!

Selling the bars will get you the best profit (as with other lower bars), even if it takes longer for the same exp).

 

 

 

(By the way, change the tags in your sig for ones.

[Maxx91]

You could also sell (example) half of the bars, so you will have enough money to buy more nats, and smith the other half to get some great smithing experience. You won't make a profit, but you won't lose money either, and it's better xp than just smelting.

[Doomster]

You could also save on nats, but always be facing aggressive monsters, by going to the ruins furnace to smelt. I used that place quite a bit for Mithril, but it has some huge drawbacks:

 

 

 

1. The monsters will always be aggressive, as you don't stay long enough

 

2. Once you have some bars the lost space means you make fewer on each trip back & forth.

 

3. If attacked there, do not run directly south, it's multi!

 

4. Unless you are waiting for respawns (superheat) you lose time travelling.

 

 

 

PS. Once you no longer have space for smelting, may as well top up with ores (if respawned) coal otherwise, no point returning with empty spaces.

 

 

 

Also, my favourite armour there (and in some other wildy spots) is "mixed blue" or a variant of:

 

 

 

Mixed blue?

 

 

 

Rune platebody

 

Rune legs

 

Mithril kite

 

Mithril full helm (you might substitute Addy med).

 

 

 

Two good pieces, the rest smithed, resulting in keeping the good armour and the pick if it all goes wrong. Maybe some extra mage defence would be better for holding of the perishing mage PKers and their bind spell!

 

 

 

Golden rule - DO NOT SKULL. Silver rule - keep some good food and combat stuff in the bank, and go pay back the guy that's still skulled on you.
