What to high alch F2P

[50CENT]

Hi all,

 

I've recently started playing RS again after a year away and am still F2P. I have 9k of nats to waste and want to high alch to get magic xp.

 

What are the items to high alch right now and make some profit? I just looked up steel platebody, which is going for 1k. Any other ideas/recommendations?

 

Thanks!

Ultimate high-profit solution: Make your own smithed items and high-alch them. This is what I did, and greatly increased my stack of gp so far, with plenty of room to gain far more. Hopefully you have like 60+ smithing, albeit Steel Platebodies are good? :huh:

 

Heck, pardon me while I get back to it. B)

As free to play your options are limited to smithed platebody, most commonly steel platebody.

Your best bet would be to superheat. The exp is decently fast (70k an hour ish) and usually makes money.

What are you talking about Geesch?

 

High Alch is, and always has been, F2P.

Do not forget, f2p players can only low alch - high alch is a members spell. As such, your desired exp and cost efficiency will not be reached. You would likely be better off superheating.

 

High alch is NOT a members spell

 

But superheating IS better than high alching, its faster magic xp, cheaper and you get free smithing xp.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have to ask though, how is superheating faster magic xp or cheaper than high alch as each uses one nature rune.

Why its faster magic xp:

The animation for superheat is faster than the alching animation, enough so that even with 12 less xp per cast and the clicking you get faster xp

Also, if you plan on getting the most gp out of your alch, you can only buy armor/weapons at 100 every 4 hours

Otherwise you would have to buy gold bars (10,000 every 4 hours at a ~3gp/xp cost) or gold necklaces (1,000 every 4 hours at a ~3gp/xp cost) to get fastest xp

 

Why its cheaper xp:

The best item to alch in f2p is addy pl8s (somtimes mith pl8s or steel pl8s are better/same)

Nature runes cost 261gp

Adamant pl8bodys cost 9788gp

Adamant pl8bodys alch for 9984 gp

 

9984 - (9788 + 261) = -65gp or a cost of 1gp/xp

 

Iron ore costs 219

Coal costs 255

Steel bars sell for 974

 

974 - (219 + 261 + 255*2) = -16gp or cost of .3gp/xp

 

The cost of alching never wavers much from 1gp/xp at best, it is also much slower to alch if you go the most cost effective way.

The cost of superheating is always either a very small loss or a even a small gain and the materials almost always buy/sell.

 

Why its Better xp:

 

Superheat along with magic xp gives you free smithing xp which is very expensive or very slow.
