Most Cost-Efficient Smithing Method? (F2P)


hybrid2hell

Recommended Posts

Ok well i am looking for a fast method of smithing that will cost me little-no money. So far i have been thinking about:

 

 

 

Superheating steel bars (mining my own coal, about 20k profit per 1k bars)

 

 

 

Smelting Steel bars (Boring as hell, 100k profit per 1k bars)

 

 

 

Superheating Mith Bars (Mining my own coal, profit unknown)

 

 

 

Im having trouble thinking of anything else, help is definetly needed :?

I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames.

The most cost effiecnt method woul probably be smelting steel bars. Either buying the materials yourself or becoming part of a company, smaller profit but more of a guarentee for materials.

I know that is the most cost efficient way, but its boring as hell and takes a long time. Any suggestions for faster exp? I am willing to lose money, as long as it isnt a ton :anxious:

If you're going to superheat steel, you might as well mine the iron, too, because it's fairly quick. Use the mine in edgeville dungeon. If you want to be faster about it, then just smith some of the bars you make.

 

 

 

Every bar will cost you the price of a nat - say, 300. Every plate you alch will get you 1200 gold, but cost you another nat, so you will make 900 per alch. Every bar you superheat and sell will make 300 in profit, the price of a steel bar minus the price of a nat. So, to break even, you have to equalize the amount of money made by selling bars, and the amount lost by smithing and alching bars. Every plate costs 1500 (5 nats), and gets you 900, so you lose 600 gp per plate, or 120 per bar. Every bar you sell gives you 300 in profit. So every bar sold allows you to smith 2.5 bars into plates, and you will break even. Depending on the cost of nats, you could smith even more of the bars you make into plates to alch, and still break even.

Boring as it may be (and is) smelting is the most cost effective way to raise your smithing. I would direct you to Farmer Dally's guide on TFS forum, he has a good method. :)
