F2P Cash question

[samari81]

What should I spend 13.5mil cash on in F2P?

 

 

 

I don't want:

 

 

 

To cook any more lobbies

 

To burn any more logs

 

To buy any edible rares

 

Or to waste money on useless stuff

 

 

 

...And no, I will not give you my money :P

 

 

 

 

 

All help much appreciated :

[M6c_Magnum]

Buy and sell stuff with that money and save up a few million for a Green H'ween Mask :D I'm so glad I saved up and bought mine, it's awesome

Oh,

 

I also forgot to mention,

 

I'm a terrible merchant -.- :wall:

[NJE03]

Smith some bars :?:

[Moonshadow]

You could trade the 13.5M cash to me in exchange for a raw chicken... Technically, you aren't giving it away... :-w

 

 

 

Eh, if I were you, I would buy a bunch of iron bars and go for a nice smithing level.

[samari81]

Smith some bars :?:

 

 

 

...Oh how original

 

 

 

That's some great input..."Smith some bars"

 

 

 

 

 

Atleast make it a good answer...

 

 

 

you could atleast say:

 

 

 

Buy yourself 20k Coal & 10k Iron

 

Smelt yourself 10k Steel bars

 

Smith yourself 2000 Steel bodies

 

Buy yourself 2000 natures

 

High alch them all

 

 

 

And then give an example of the xp range I'd get and the level I could possibly get....

 

Don't you think that'd be slightly more useful -.-

 

 

 

 

 

...Sorry, bad night xD

Would iron save me more money than steel then?

Gee thanks for the rude tone... not to mention that wonderful sarcasm you felt compelled to include. :shame:

 

 

 

You asked how to spend your money and decided to act like a complete jerk in response to my advice? Totally uncalled for.

 

 

 

Considering the person in question has over 65 smithing I assumed they knew how to smith but yeah thanks once more for attempting to devalue my advice which for the record was perfectly legitimate.

[samari81]

I don't want to start a new account either...

 

 

 

Could someone tell me if buying iron bars is worth it?

 

 

 

I've been suggested steel and iron

 

But I don't not which is better??

[tryto]

iron bars is slightly cheaper, but also slightly slower.

[samari81]

iron bars is slightly cheaper, but also slightly slower.

 

 

 

So would you say steel bars is better?

 

If I gave you the money today to do either steel or iron which would you choose? :

[Kill_Life]

Buy 450k Essences and start Runecrafting! :wink:

 

Or buy a disk? Don't know how much they are right now though...

[tryto]

iron bars is slightly cheaper, but also slightly slower.

 

 

 

So would you say steel bars is better?

 

If I gave you the money today to do either steel or iron which would you choose? :

 

 

 

I'd do iron, even though it's slower, but then again, i'm cheap. I'd say if you can get a decent amount of money an hour, like 250k+ on average, its worth doing steel, because in the time you save, you can make back the difference.

Im no good money maker xD

 

 

 

Right so:

 

Im going to do:

 

 

 

Buy Iron Bars - 200 Each

 

50000 Iron bars for 10mil

 

 

 

Make into:

 

 

 

Iron Bodies:

 

 

 

Makes - 10k Steel bodies

 

If alched: Around 1.5mil back (Including cost of nats)

 

If sold to general: Around 1.2mil back

 

 

 

Iron Arrows -

 

Makes - 750k Arrows

 

 

 

About 10mil back (I already have enough feathers and I'd make my cut my own normal logs)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smithing Xp for both = 1.25mil

 

Fletching Xp for 2nd = 2.87mil

 

 

 

Id say the second method is about 3 times longer.

 

 

 

Final level for both method:

 

 

 

Smithing - Around 78

 

Fletching if I use 2nd method - Between 88-90

 

 

 

 

 

Which method would you use?

 

Iron Bodies

 

or

 

Iron Arrows

[tryto]

Iron arrows are members. I'd make plates and high-alch.

I may consider over the christmas break, buying members?

 

Or shall I still stick with plates?

[tryto]

Iron arrows are a waste of time. If you go mems, make iron knives. You can break even on them.

Oh, ok then, think it'll have to be iron knives then :D

 

 

 

Thanks for all your help

[alex_lee8]

Yeah, do iron knives if you are considering becoming a member, although if it was just for a month i wouldn't recommend it because you have such a good f2p account.

 

You say you aren't a good money maker, but you have 13.5m? How did you make that?

 

What i'd do personally is try and merchant, its a bit of fun when you get into it. But other than that i'd do iron bodies for sure, because when your smithing level gets higher it is an awesome money maker.

 

Hope my ramble helped.

[Gonalo40]

so lets calculate together:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

high alch reward of an iron plate is: 336.00 gp

 

 

 

an iron bar costs about 200ea

 

 

 

a nature rune costs ~268 atm

 

 

 

for an iron plate you need 5 bars (5*200=1000)

 

 

 

simple calculation:

 

 

 

1000-268+336 = 1068 gp for 125 xp in smithing

 

 

 

that means:

 

 

 

1 xp = 8,544 gp (lost)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

same calculation with steel plates:

 

 

 

high alch reward of an steel plate is: 1200.00 gp

 

a steel bars costs 550 atm (5*550= 2750)

 

 

 

2750-268+1200 = 3682 gp for 187,5 xp in smithing

 

 

 

which means:

 

 

 

1 xp = 19,637 (lost, the fastest method btw)

 

 

 

 

 

in conclusion we can say that iron plates are more economic but not that fast..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT

 

 

 

 

 

if you buy the coal + iron yourself its much cheaper

 

 

 

1 bar costs only 387 gp (153*2+81) and that gives you +17,5 xp extra for a bar

 

 

 

SO we calculate again:

 

 

 

1935-268+1200= 2867 for 205 smithing xp

 

 

 

which means:

 

 

 

1 xp = ~14 gp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in conclusion:

 

 

 

iron plates are pretty good for cheap training but i think you should try steel plates by smelting the steel bars yourself, but i dunno how long it will take to smelt the bars ... your advantage is that coal and iron are much cheaper then before the GE (coal before 200ea, now 153ea, iron before 100ea, now 81 ea)

 

 

 

 

 

im f2p and the calculations are for f2ps i dont know if its also good for members

 

 

 

 

 

at the end you will lose money,but if you ONLY smelt the bars and sell the bars you'll make 170-200 each profit lol

 

 

 

so thats your decision ;)

[samari81]

Yeah, do iron knives if you are considering becoming a member, although if it was just for a month i wouldn't recommend it because you have such a good f2p account.

Naa I think I'll buy members for around 3 months.

 

5mil of that was given to me.

 

The rest I made from fletching/smithing and runecrafting with some merchanting

 

Im not such a good merchant as I often lose a bit of money, I seem to have a bad habbit of buying mass items like coal at the wrong time and then lose money on them, and then I rush to sell them and they rise again.

 

I really need a 100% fool proof guide to merchanting really :XD:
