Smithing

Featured Replies

Hi there.

 

My friend doesnt have an account on here and is asking how much 99 Smithing would cost him, and how long.

He wants to know how long it will take him if hes willing to pay 80M for it.

He will probably do most of it in the school holidays coming up (We have 2 weeks off (obviously hes not gonna get 99 in that time, but still)

 

He is 82 smithing at the moment, and will be playing around 6-8 hours a day on average, paying 80M max.

 

What would be the fastest but low costing method of him getting there?

 

Anyone have any ideas?

Currently - Slaying to 99!

I play on and off. I'll play the game solidly for a month then quit for the next 3, lol.[/hide][/size]

Well addy platebodies with SC is basically the most efficient way to go, once you have 88. It's about 340k xp, 1.9m coins, and 5.4 hammers per hour. It takes just over an hour to get get those hammers (you get about 5.3 hammers hourly in skill-only SC).

 

He needs 10.6m xp or so. He'll be looking at about 31 hours of actual smithing, 60m gp costs, and about 32 hours of SC.

 

Another popular method is iron knives, costing 1.62 coins per xp. You can smith about 900 bars hourly, if you smith 1 at a time (as you do with knives), and he'll need 212k iron bars to get to 99. This will take him 235 hours of smithing, 17.1m coins, and the 31 hours of SC.

 

Addy plates: 63 hours, 60m coins

Iron knives: 266 hours, 17.1m coins

 

Using addy plates saves you 203 hours at the cost of 42.9m, the equivalent of costing you 211k/hour. That rules knives out!

 

Another option is addy arrowtips. Again, you smith 900 bars hourly, but this time he'll only need 84k bars, which will take him 94.2 hours to smith. Addy tips will cost him 37m.

 

Addy plates: 63 hours, 60m coins

Addy arrowtips: 125 hours, 37m coins

 

Using addy plates saves you 62 hours at the cost of 23m coins, the equivalent of costing you 370k an hour. Addy plates are the best!
