November 21, 200718 yr I am trying to get to 70 smithing soon. My way of doing this is mining/or whatever all of the coal and iron and smelting those into steel bars. From steel bars, ill smith steel platebodies. Since im going to soon have alot of nats from runecrafting, I will most definitely alch them and get profit :D But of course im getting profit because im getting all of the raw materials and not buying them. From lower than 48 smithing (steel pl8s) you may just want to smith whatever your maximum lvl can smith. The only reason for smithing better things like steel pl8s later on is for the profit (you still get same xp even though you use 5 bars for 1 plate). You may want to smelt bars as well (silver and gold) as that will get you crafting xp if you went on to craft jewellery with them. Its up to you.
November 21, 200718 yr What I used to do when I was f2p, was buy as many coal and iron ores as I could, smelt them and sell the bars. Small profit, easy, but VERY slow. It got me from about 50 smithing to 56-58 in two(three?) weeks. ^Click for Blog^
November 21, 200718 yr Smelting is the only way to do it without losing money. What I do is pick a number, say 10k. Smelt steel bars and sell them until you hit that amount, then make them into plates and alch/sell. Then smelt and sell your way back up to 10k. Etc. Check out this cool browser gladiator game!
November 21, 200718 yr Take this from me who has actually done this. I was about 55 smithing, and I got to 70 smithing all by smelting steel bars. Here is what I did. I mined 500 iron and 1k coal, smelted all my bars, and sold them. I had enough money to buy 1k iron and 2k coal. I bought that, smelted, and I started a tree until I just got more and more money so I could afford to smelt more bars. I got up to being able to 10k bars, and, that is where I stopped because I had 7.8M and 70 smithing. It made me a lot richer, and got me a higher smithing level. It took time, but, I did it. If you can get about 500 bars done a day, you will be on a good track.
