on the hunt for good mining and smithing...

Featured Replies

I have made some posts in the past but I have a more focused clear description now hopefully easier to asnwer. I have about 6000 iron ores. I want 70+ mining and 73+ smithing. What is best for me, mine more iron and just smith and smelt iron(I have 160+ rings of forging) or mine coal and make steel with blast furnace(make my own nats and can alch)

You could mine gold (20k exp/hour) and smith that with gold smthing gauntlets (50k exp/hour) Or you could mine coal and make into steel bars and then make into cannonballs

I would think mining iron is faster exp, don't have any rates tho, sorry.

 

If you have the Rings of Forging, use 'em.

Powermine iron, and drop it, buy steel bars and make cannon balls, you'll make gp from the cannon balls (about 200gp each per bar if the prices are the same from before The Grand Exchange).

Since I have the iron already, I was thinking just mine coal and do that?

I know you have some, but Iron is one of the fastest things to powermine.

 

 

 

I'd just buy the coal, then you'd make ~305gp for each bar you smelt/turn the steel bars into cannon balls.

 

 

 

So what I'd do is buy the coal for that 6k iron you have, smelt/turn those steel bars into cannon balls, powermine iron (bank if you'd like?) and repeat.
