Last night i decided that after getting 70fishing, 70cooking, 70wc and 70 fm im going to get my mining upto 60. i decided to get that by mining coal all the way. Mining till 60 would give me about 3k coal and then im going to buy 1.5k iron ore, smelt it all into steel bars and smith them... the question is, what should i smith? im not looking for THE fastest exp, im just looking for something that will actually sell on the GE..any help?

Coal... and fastest method of smithing? Don't do that.

Erm..why not?

Hello Slaytanicc,

 

through my experiences, I have noticed something very little people know;

 

that is, buying silver ores in GE and smelting into bars.

 

The biggest surprise is, silver bars are cheaper than ores.

 

Each ore provides a whopping 13.7 exp each, kindly provided by Tipit.

 

So what I am suggesting, is selling all the ores you mined (iron, coal) trade them in for some silver ore.

 

-happy smithing.

That will be slow as heck.. i really hate smithing, and i dont want to make it even more hateably by getting slow [wagon] exp...

Mining coal shows how little you value you your time, then you do the fastest method possible? Just powermine coal, and train smithing using a medium speed method. You'll get much more xp in both mining and smithing in less time.

Please not that at this moment i might just have become the stingiest RS playing ever having lost over 165mil in just a day, meaning i want to do it in a way i loose nothing. So i have all the time in the world. if i am able to mine 3k coal in 4 or 5 days ill be happy. I just need to know what the best item is to smith.

Try using the word efficient next time. I'm not so sure on F2P, but I hear (?) Mithril bars are good for superheating.

:wall:

Dont i need to get 50 Smithing for that tho? :wall:

Oh, 45 smithing. In all honesty, it doens't really make a difference. The 5 levels will fly by pretty fast, smelt steel bars or something.

Thanx... any idea how much loss/profit will be made per bar?

Iron Ore = 98gp each

 

Coal = 173gp each

 

Nats = 240gp each

 

Steel bars = 618gp each

 

 

 

Overall, its a 66gp loss.

 

 

 

EDIT: After 50 smithing, do mithril bars. Buy mith and coal ores in ratio of 1:4 and nats, superheat them into mithril bars and sell them in GE. It's how I did :P

Well i think ill buy coal and iron ore and super heat/smelt till i hit 50, then im gonna start mining coal ore(4k) and mith ore(1k) and smelt them all into bars and then make mith scimis.

 

I think this would be my best option to not loose to much money...

 

 

 

Any idea how much coal i can get per hour?

I can't give you the exact figures but it surely depends on the world population and the time you take in each run.

 

 

 

To be honest, if you want a great breakthrough in smithing, I really suggest you to buy the ore instead.

 

 

 

Scimmies are a REALLY bad idea. 2 mith bars are worth 2116gp total and scimies are sold for 524gp. Thats a loss of almost 1.6k each.

Oops sorry for the double post >.

That is why im going to mine all of my own ores. I want to try and get to 65 mining anyway, so ill just use the ores i mined.

And why not selling mith bars instead? That's almost twice the money and no time wasted on smithing. That leaves you more time to mine.

LOL?

 

 

 

I hate mining, but if push comes to shove i might just sell the bars for better money and just mine some more... 75 mining has never hurt any one... ;)

The only way to smith efficiently f2p is super heating mith bars then selling them.

 

 

 

its really cheap and you get loads of mage exp to boot. 53k+ mage exp an hour, 30k+ smithing exp an hour for like 3 gp/1 smithing exp or so maybe less

Why not just smelt them? im dirt poor ATM and spending 260gp on Nats really isn an option. And besides that im not interested in getting my mage up ATM because high mage as F2P is Useless....

 

But its better to smelt it though isnt it?

Honestly, I would just superheat the ores for speed. You just need to stand in the GE, buy the necessary materials and sell the bars.

 

 

 

But overall, it's a loss of 36gp each. So if you want profit only, superheating is not for you.

for f2p smithing should go like this

 

 

 

45-70 super heat mith bars

 

70-88 superheat addy bars

 

88+ smith addy plates or superheat addy bars

 

 

 

in other words, dont mine you ores and smith them...its horrible for efficiency. seriously. mining coal is stupid, even in f2p.

tbh superheating is a good idea ONLY when MONEY IS NO OBJECTIVE and you WANT TO SMITH YOUR OWN BARS AND TURN THEM INTO A PRODUCED ARMOR/WEAPON. This is the f2p way of smithing gold ores to bars with goldsmith gaunts.

 

 

 

Iron and Coal to Steel Bars imo is the best.
