hi im a bit of a smithing noob .i have lvl 64 mining so i think i can get most ores needed for my lvl .im willing to spend about a mil or 2 till i begin making a profit from it .basically how should i train with money or none ,and when would i start making money .i can superheat and high alch .

Member? Try cannonballs.

im not a member forgot to mention

for F2P, smelt steel bars.

 

Either mine ores or buy coal, or both. The more you do yourself, the more profit, but the slower the xp.

 

 

 

Either sell the bars for cash, or smith them into plates. either sell those, or alch them.

For that independant feeling:

 

 

 

I like taking a pick, nature runes, a fire staff to the coal mine/guild.

 

 

 

Mine coal, plus iron or mithril, use superheat to make bars,

 

Take the bars into the northern (non guild ) side of the mine, there are anvils near the shopping zone,

 

 

 

Smith the highest things you can, then High alchemy them, repeat.

 

( when your skill is high enough there are 3 addy rocks in the non guild side of the mine)

 

Steel plates High alch for 1200gp :D

 

 

 

check out The High Alchemy calculator

 

In the Special Calculators section

 

on the main Tipit site --

 

 

 

hope that is of use to you,

 

have fun :-)

ARoseThorn, his Smithing level is not high enough to make Steel Plate Bodies, but good suggestion though.

 

 

 

I would just suggest you buy the ores, and smelt Steel Bars. That way, you are going to be making profit, rather than losing money.

I would recommend doing the Knight's Sword Quest. Its good for 12725 smithing xp, and will give you a good start on your smithing levels. This should allow you to skip over smithing bronze, and you can start smelting and smithing iron objects.
