ok, so im going to be mining iron a lot, should i bother smelting them all with forging rings, and if i do what should i smith with them? ( would like to raise smithing)

 

also, i have heard that black jacking is the best exp for thieving till 91. How do i go about doing this? I remember using blackjacks in a quest but i no longer have those, can i get new ones?

 

thanks in advance.

 

Edit: also, do cooking gauntlets effect cave fish, or rocktail fish?

For your first question: I think that using rings of forging is worth it. I believe that it is best to make iron knives.

 

For your second question: You have to do the rogue trader mini-quest, after doing the Feud quest, to unlock blackjacks.

 

 

Short blackjacking guide:

 

Equip a blackjack.

Bring food. Wine is good because it can be un-noted nearby the bandits you will blackjack. It's also really cheap.

Go to Pollnivneach.

Right-click Lure a bearded bandit, bandit, or Menaphite Thug depending on your thieving level (45, 55, or 65).

Get the target to follow you into a building, then close the curtain. Make sure there are no other NPCs inside the building.

Right-click Knock Out the target.

Watch the messages in your chat box. When it says that the target is knocked out, pickpocket the target. This should be after the second message.

Watch the messages in your chat box. When it says that you rob the target, pickpocket the target again. This is before the animation ends. This should be after the second message.

Watch the messages in your chat box. When it says that you rob the target, knock out the target again. Repeat the cycle.

 

Every step should take 1.2 seconds. Therefore, every 3.6 seconds you should pickpocket the target 2 times.

 

It's all about getting down a rhythm. It's much easier to understand if you try it out yourself, and I'm sure that you'll figure it out in 2 minutes.

 

If you fail the knock-out, you will be hit for 4 damage immediately. The target will then start attacking you. But, if you knock-out again before the target attacks, you cancel his attack. If you fail again, then you will need to knock out a third time. Remember, every action, be it knock-out or pickpocket should take 1.2 seconds. So just keep the same rhythm every time.

 

 

 

Hope this helps!

Maybe use the clay hammers from stealing creations?

The morphic clay hammers will give you 64k xp in smithing, so you will get xp twice as fast. A normal hammer will give you 32k in this time
