Skilling for my quest cape

[RandomKnight]

Ok Ive got 3 skills left that im going to have to train the most to get my quest cape:

 

66 Crafting

 

69 Smithing

 

72 Woodcutting

 

 

 

I had to get my crafting up for lunar a month or to ago so im going to use the same way as then.

 

Heres were i hit a snag:

 

1) For Woodcutting should i cut maples or yews? (My woodcutting is about to hit 69 and i have a Dragon axe)

 

 

 

2) For smithing what should i smith?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance, aru

if u want to get wc lvl fast probably go with willow or maple, but if u want to make some money on the way go with yew, for smithing the fastest way is to smelt gold with the family crest gloves.

cut willows for speed wont take you long with dragon axe

[meme79]

cut ad drop teak, gold ore with gaunts on smith, crafting make emraly/ruby braclets

[RandomKnight]

Ok then, i think ill try willows since im ok on cash at the momment, aru...

 

As for smithing gold with the gloves-is it better to buy the ore or do you lose to much money that way?

Last I checked, gold ore was pretty spendy, and the gold bars sell for a lot less than the ores. When I was doing that, I just mined the gold from the Azarnian Mines, you could also buy coal and mith/iron ore and smelt them, and make them into bolts, maybe?

 

 

 

EDIT: Well, considering I was using information that I had a few months back, gold ore has near dropped by half from what it was (between 800-900), to about 462, and gold bars are about 180, that's a loss of 282 per ore. You can figure it out from there.

buy the ore, very fast xp u can make your cash back with the time saved

 

 

 

ps: teaks are better wc xp/h

[r4ngewarlord]

i'd do maples if you want a bit of money and willows if u just want to get the lvls up as fast as you can :D

[RandomKnight]

Ok Im cutting teaks and droping them and it seems to be the fastest method yet, so ill stick with it, aru

 

And ill try the gold once im done...if it seems to be to much of a money drainer ill try smithing bolts.

Gold is expensive. Mining it will be FAR too slow.

 

 

 

What you want is the blast furnace. Make and smith mithril bars into bolts. Feather them to sell it easier (though unfeathered sells reasonably well as well). You won't make a loss either.

[RyderJ]

Just cut willows. Your level is too low to powercut teaks, or cut yews for real profit.

 

 

 

For crafting, it's a little harder. Try mining gold and then using up whatever gems you've saved up to make bracelets and such, which you can then sell/alch. Or just buy sapphires and gold bars to turn into bracelets, for quite minimal gp loss.

 

 

 

The smithing's gonna take you a while. You could make a heck of a lot of cballs, and make a lot of money, or you could try to break even buying mith bars to smith into bolts.

[sadin_13]

it's all about cutting eucalyptus. much faster than yews but with only a little less xp per cut

[RyderJ]

Not at his/her level.

 

 

 

Right now, no log is good for money. Train to 70-80, then cut for money. Until then, just do willows. Eucs are nice, I use them a lot, but I wouldn't if I was in my 60s. :P

[Lore]

what's the exp/hour on eucalyptus?

 

 

 

When I did it for the quest (82 wc at the time) they were horribly slow :/

 

 

 

Maybe I missed something here, but I couldn't see your stats. Once your smithing is above 60, blast furnace is probably the way to go. Mithril bolts ore knives are easy to make in quantities, and you won't make a loss. Using Manage Thy Kingdom for the coal will also help increase profit.

Crafting - Super Glass Make is great. You can profit/break even dependant on time of day.

 

Woodcutting - Willows with a dragon axe at Barbarian Outpost. Use a beaverif you can and bank using deposit box. Fastest XP in game and you will make a little profit (I made about 150k from 76-80), it isn't life changing but it's profit.

 

Smithing - Steel bars to cannonballs, or mithril bars to bolts, or iron ore to iron bars with ring of forging. These will reduce losses and maybe even give a profit.

Ok I think ive got a good plan now:

 

-Ive been woodcutting Teaks and droping them, which has been working very well so ill stick to them.

 

-Ive got a good crafting stratagy down so im good there...

 

-Since smithing is going to take a while no mater what option I go with I believe im just going to smith C-balls for the money (i recently bought some better armor for grims tales so i could use some extra)

 

 

 

Thanks for all the good advice, aru :)
