A little question concerning smithing.

Featured Replies

I am going for 85 smithing by smelting and smithing steel bars. Would it be in my interest to use the varrock armor to try and get double bars or should i go to the blast furnace and use half as many coal?

 

 

 

Please also give me a figure on which one would be more time effective as well.

 

 

 

Thank you very much!

i perfer blast furnace b/c you only need 1 coal, you could also smith and alch right there

i dont know too much about blast furnace, but it is far from a bank, so banking it wouldnt be worth the time. I would personally just smelt them in port phasmatys or edgeville with the armour on then smith them in varrock west. good luck :)

ok... i may just test the varrock armor because I am lvl 3 and alching is out of the question. If that does not work well i will most likely try mithril then at the blast furnace thank you!

 

 

 

(mithril so that I can sell the stuff at the store)

You don't get double bars with the Varrock armor ever.

 

 

 

What you get is that sometimes it will smelt 2 bars at once. But it also uses 2 sets of ores.

 

 

 

It just occasionally lets you smelt more quickly; it doesn't magically give you an extra bar.

I'm pretty sure that free bars is exactly what it gives you. Otherwise, it would be useless.

 

 

 

It's more useless than you realize.

Actually, it's good for mining.
