Mithril Bars and Fletching


Sinkhan

Recommended Posts

I've seen a few saying that smithing mithril bolts will actually profit, but how can this be at all if bolts sell for 75 ea after being fletched and the bars themselves are 1.1k?

 

 

 

Right now, I'm at 55 fletching doing maple longs, but I'm looking for a method that actually profits and doesn't create a huge amount of junk I can't use until I get get my hands on something worth lending/selling.

Well I guess I'll be making a trip to the BF pretty soon. I plan on using the coal from MTK, so I think profit will be guaranteed.

 

 

 

How do mithril and steel bolts sell right now? Flighting bolts seems to be another ok profit option.

This must be done at blast furnace:

 

 

 

Mithril ore - 242gp (max)

 

Coal x2 - 2x178 = 356 (med)

 

Total: 598gp

 

 

 

Mithril Bolts (unf) per bar = 10

 

10 x 71 = 710gp (they sell for med)

 

 

 

710-598= 112gp/profit per bar

 

or 72gp/profit per bar when sold at min

 

 

 

Even when you fletch them they still profit if brought and sold at med.

Well when I was smithing them a lot of the times there was a person at the blast furnace buying the mith bolts to fletch so I assume they sell ok.

 

 

 

You might want to test it with a couple hundred bolts first just to make sure though.

you are forgetting the unnoting cost at the blast furnace. 81 gp for 1 mith ore and around 30 or so gp for each coal.

 

 

 

that gives a total cost of around 730-740 gp for one mith bar. So, smithing mith bolts at the blast furnace makes you lose cash. ;)

Essentially really cheap resources that require almost no effort to get. Just finish a quest or two, pop in some money, get your favour up, and then you've got a good amount of resources flowing in everyday.

 

 

 

The swordfish and half the tuna I get from MTK more than covers the 75K a day it takes, and the extra 200ish coal and all the random gems and caskets are pretty much gravy on top ::'

Ok I made I huge mistake (my bad with the calculations) I thought something was off with that profit but it didn't click then, so here's the fixed costs/prices:

 

 

 

Mithril ore - 232gp (med)

 

Coal x2 - 2x178 = 356 (med)

 

Total: 588gp

 

 

 

Unoting costs:

 

Mithril-81

 

Coal 22.5 x2= 45

 

Total: 126

 

 

 

Total cost to make each bar:

 

714gp

 

 

 

Mithril Bolts (unf) per bar = 10

 

10 x 71 = 710gp (they sell for med)

 

 

 

710-714= -4gp loss a bar

 

 

 

At the moment they do lose you 4gp a bar which really isn't that much. A few weeks ago you would profit around 50gp/bar so it really all depends on the current market prices. Once mithril bolts (unf) rise again and mithril ore stabilizes you should be able to make some profit.

 

 

 

Of course if you fletch them now you actually profit so take that into consideration. ;)

 

 

 

71gp=unf

 

6gp/feather

 

79gp mithril bolts

 

2gp profit/bolt

 

20gp profit/bar

great calculations, thanks! I guess it's best to stock those bolts (unf) up then for the time being.
