Steel Plate Bodys?

Try summoning pouches, some of them break even and some make profit.

 

 

 

Research it or use trial and error ::'

Returned to Runescape June 2011 after a 3 year break :)

You could for example:

 

Mine 2k Iron

 

Buy 1k Coal

 

Make 1k Steel Bars

 

Make 200 Steel Plates

 

Alch Them.

 

I believe it is Profit since you only buy Nats and Coal!

 

 

 

EDIT: Yes, this is profit and exp :P Plates alch for 1200gp and the Nats and coal will Max. cost you

 

575-600 GP.

You need 2 coal + 1 iron per steel bar not the opposite #-o

 

 

 

BTW, if you buy coal rather than mining it, it will be quite a loss.

 

1k steel bars make 200 steel plates=240k with hi-alch

 

for 1k bars you'll need 1k iron and 2k coal

 

each coal costs roughly 200gp, so 2000x200=400k

 

A loss of 160k if you didn't spend any money on nats

Honestly, there's no (alchable) item in F2P that buys instantly in GE and there aren't many items to alch as a free player. Steel plates are the best to alch by far and it's just profit if you make your own. With green d'hide bodies you won't lose too much if you also buy the nats. Rune meds can be alched for roughly 11.5k still they cost quite a bit.

 

 

 

PS: In a semi-full world, nats buy almost instantly at market price in GE ;)

Huh? Steel Plates cost 1,300gp at GE and they alch for 1,200gp. Thats a loss of more than 350 gp per alch. Thats stupid!

 

Tbh there are enough items to alch with a loss of less than 50 gp. Use the GE database and the tip.it alchemy calculator to find them (most rune items, some addy items, dhide bodys...).

 

Btw I spend less than 1M to get my 83 mage in F2P and I did alching since 55.

 

 

 

@ PS: Buying at GE doesn't depend on your world.

Uh maybe you should have read my post first.

Like I stated before, if you make your own steel plates and alch them afterwards, you will get a profit of 900gp and over per plate (considering the cost of natures).

When I alched f2p, I used to break even on :

 

 

 

Green dhide bodies @ 4400, adamant platebodies @lowest

 

 

 

I used to break even on addy sq shields (lowest), but for somereason they have risen alot over the months. but if you can still get them at lowest they break even.

 

 

 

thats about it for f2p thats not stupid i think

Thats no profit in mage but in mining ores or smelting steel bars. Smithing steel plates or alching them is a big loss! Why not sell the steel bars and buy something thats more worth to alch? And he said he want to buy at GE so your answer was off topic.

 

When I look at your stats you don't seem to have much experience in it...
