December 27, 200817 yr My current method is taking out 18 coal and 9 iron ore.. while having the ammo mould in my inventory. I smelt EDIT:9 steel bars, then I make the bars into cannonballs. Would it be quicker to bank the steel bars? And then later bring a full inventory of them and create cannonballs? I'm just looking for the quickest way. What do you do?

December 27, 200817 yr its actually 9 steel bars not 10 bank them bring 27 to make later more time to not look at screen
December 27, 200817 yr Smelting bars and cannonballs together: 18 coal + 9 iron ore + mould in inventory. 18 coal + 9 iron ore = 9 steel bars 9 steel bars x 4 cannonballs = 36 cannonballs This gives you 36 cannonballs in per trip. Smelting bars, banking them and then smelting cannonballs later: 18 coal + 9 iron ore in inventory. 18 coal + 9 iron ore = 9 steel bars --bank-- 27 steel bars + mould in inventory 27 steel bars x 4 cannonballs = 108 cannonballs To get 27 steel bars you will have to do 27 / 9 = 3 bar smelting trips. That means you will need 3 trips to smelt bars, plus 1 trip to smelt the cannonballs. This gives you 108 cannonballs in four trips, that is an average of 108 / 4 = 27 per trip. You can see that smelting the cannonballs right away results in 9 cannonballs extra per trip so you should definitely keep doing what you do now. Example with 1000 steel bars: Smelting bars and cannonballs together: 9 bars per trip. 1000 / 9 = 111.111 (round to 112) That is a total of 112 trips. Smelting bars, banking them and then smelting cannonballs later: 9 bars per trip, plus an extra trip every 3 bar smelting trips to smelt the cannonballs. 1000 / 9 = 111.111 (round to 112) 112 + ( 111.111 / 3 ) = 149.037 (round to 150) That is a total of 150 trips. 112 trips or 150 trips... I know my choice... :P My guide: Ring of Wealth explained 8 Dragon Boots (885 kills, 1/111, with RoW)

December 28, 200817 yr Hehe, anytime. I just love to do this kind of maths. ^^ My guide: Ring of Wealth explained 8 Dragon Boots (885 kills, 1/111, with RoW)
