Need Smithing Advice

[Rinoa437]

I want to get my smithing up to level 68 from 61 so I can finally make full mithril. I have so many factors to consider (smithing or smithing and smelting, morphic tools or not, which metal, etc.) that I'm having a hard time figuring out which is best. I would like to make a profit, but I'd be happy just breaking even if it means a lot less work. Any and all suggestions are welcome. TY in advance.

More info please. Would I be smelting the ores myself or not? Would I use morphic tools or not? How much would it cost or profit? How long would it take or xp/hr?

Gold ore + Gold Gauntlets. I did that all the way to 70.

 

Or alternativly look at Grimy's efficency spreadsheets in the archive of wisdow. (;

I think at those levels I made smithed iron with RoF and then made iron knifes and those made decent profit, it will take a while for you though.

Superheat, much cheaper than training it directly and you get great magic exp as well. A lot of clicking, but definitely worth it.

I trained my smithing to it's current lvl (81) from lvl 60 by using the morphic tools.

it cuts the cost by half, that's what made me use them because they aren't faster then gold ore.

If you have loads of cash to burn, gold ore and gold gauntlets are the way to go.

The slower, more cheap ways would be buying the bars and smithing plates + alching them.

You can choose wich metal you use, but i suggest steel because iron takes ages.
