Tatters Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I currently have the money for rather 73 Smithing or 70 Herblore. I cannot decide witch one would be better to get. WHat do you think and why?

Nifflin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Both are equally useless. However if you feel a driving need to get one or the other get herblore as at higher levels there will be a point to it and you will see a return in your investment whereas with smithing all you are buying is total levels. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet. That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

UnknownRemoval Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 73 smithing from your current level will cost like 2.4M?Herblore will cost a lot more. Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezkaton Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 What's the point for those levels? 73 smithing is easy and cheap enough to get.... (try spending 10M a level from 93 ;) )And herblore can be gained from WGS. Sooooooo..... Go get smithing. Then go and do WGS, throw the 400K exp into herb (assuming you're at 65) and you'll get 70. Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownRemoval Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 What's the point for those levels? 73 smithing is easy and cheap enough to get.... (try spending 10M a level from 93 ;) ) Tried goldsmithing with gauntlets? 99 Smithing only costs about 40M with it at 60k xp/hour, then you can add in superheating + smithing for about 110k xp/hour. Not too expensive. ;) Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a driving need, I just feel like having an 'expensive' skill 70 + :shades: Its just with the money I got at the moment those are the highest I can get them to. | November 2009: Fishing Skillcape Achived || January 2010: Red Partyhat Obtained || March 2010: Woodcutting Skillcape Achived || August 2010: Fletching Skillcape Achived | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transcript80 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 If "expensive" is what you're after, go for herblore. Other data was removed when acoount got hacked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matok Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 First, i'd go for herblore.Second,If you dont need those levels now i sugggest getting to 63-65 herblore and invest the money left in herbs & 2nds.There will be another Bonus XP weekend and when it happen you will actually more then double your money's worth (XP or cash).

purekilljoy Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 screw smithing - a totally useless skill just a total lvl. I admit, it is nice but with herbing you can actually do something with it later. Smithing was a good skill to have when we were in RSC and the r2h just came out.... now it's pretty much an obsolete skill which you only use for making darts, kinves etc. But with herbing lvl 80+ you can really benefit from it.

MstrMonopoly Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Get 99 smithing because it's cheap and there will be a high level smithing update sooner or later which will push up the costs of bars. I piety the fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Smithing, I'd say. The rewards are more tangible and if you Dungeoneer then it's great for making your own armour.

Kimberly Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Both are equally useless.

If you're adamant then in spending your money now, I would suggest herblore if you're more into combat training. Even if you trained smithing for solely dungeoneering, there are people who will offer you services in smithing to get you the items you want to have bound off the get-go. But truly, I think if your only desire is just to spend money, I would wait. Once spent, you won't get that money back. Perhaps save it, work on another skill, and outline more concrete goals that you want to work towards. Then when you're certain of what you want you have a nice little pile of cash to start putting dents into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kool Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you're just trying to spend money get 70 prayer. It's actually very useful, unlike the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you're just trying to spend money get 70 prayer. It's actually very useful, unlike the other two. I've got to agree here. The thing is you have to have more of a reason than what you have now to spend a lot of money on just a small amount of a skill in my opinion.

Tatters Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 From what iv'e heard people say, I think ill keep the money and maybe save it for later, might go for 91 Construction and use effigies to get it higher. Thanks all for your input. :) | November 2009: Fishing Skillcape Achived || January 2010: Red Partyhat Obtained || March 2010: Woodcutting Skillcape Achived || August 2010: Fletching Skillcape Achived | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
