So, how do the cool kids train smithing these days?

From what Grimy's spreadsheet said before he removed them, addy platebodies were still 256k xp/hr. That's probably assuming max attention and using a beast of burden, though. I know I personally didn't achieve that when I was getting 99.

 

Personally, I trained by smelting gold ore until the low 90s, and the last couple levels I did addy platebodies, no sc hammers. I personally dislike the minigame, and felt I would rather spend extra time earning the money back. Personal opinion, and undoubtedly inefficient :P

 

Addy plates are expensive, though. If you don't have the money to pour into buying addy bars, go with gold ore smelting, or superheat/smelting - casting superheat ore during the smelting animation doesn't interrupt it, so you can do both at the same time and severely ramp up the xp/hr, but it does cost more (in gp and attention). Assuming Jagex didn't do anything to 'fix' superheat/smelting... normal gold ore smelting using the goldsmithing gauntlets was about... 65k xp/hr, if I recall (this was a fairly long time ago, so my memory may be slightly off). Superheat/smelting was about 130k xp/hr.

 

Those who're more efficient than me may know a more exact xp rate, though. Probably end up faster than me as well :P

Actually, the gp/xp rate isn't that bad for addy plates right now in light of the aviansie bots.

 

I guess they're good for one thing.... They piss me off when I'm getting my armadyl killcount though.... <_<

Yeah you should be doing Addy Plates. About 6gp/exp last time i checked.

 

with sc hammers or without?

Would that include a scroll of effiency?

I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed.

When i checked, that was without either. Addy Bars became hella cheap due to all the Aviansie bots.

Also, did a quick check just now. Assuming everything buys at mid and you seel the plates for 9700gp each its a 5.44gp/exp loss.

Without SC hammers;

5 bars @ 2250 each (very easy to get them at this price, can even get them cheaper) = 11250

1 adamant platebody = 9850 (sold a bunch of them last night for this price

Loss per platebody = 1400

Exp per platebody = 312.5

GP/exp = 4.48

Percent saved over my last 7k plates made with scroll= 1.5%

GP/exp = 4.4128

You mean the scroll reduced gp/xp by 1.5%, or the total cost for the bars to make one platebody by 1.5%? Because in the first case you get 4.4128, in the second case it's 3.94.

Oh, have I been doing the math wrong? I just assumed because I saved 1.5% of bars that it reduced the gp/exp by that much. But if that's not the case then I'm always glad to save even more GP :thumbsup:

 

It took me 34476 bars to make 7000 platebodies, if that helps any.

Well it should have taken 35k obviously, meaning you saved 524 bars @ 2250 each. That's 1179000 gp saved on 2187500 xp, or about half a gp per xp less.

Addy plates without a yak (yak slows me down) seems to be best for me

To be honest, I just find most BoB's to be one more click than I need when doing this kind of training -- but that's just me ... :unsure:

For me I bank faster than the time it takes to fill up the yak, surprisingly

Agreed -- it's the "hand-off" between the BoB and my invent that slows me down -- and yes, in the end I can bank faster than it takes to switch items between one and the other.
