Mining/Smithing XP

[Loyal_Fisher]

Hey everyone,

 

Currently I have level 83 mining, and level 69 smithing. I want to max both to level 99. Was wondering what the best way to do that would be?

Warbanding mining (smithing secondary), superheat gold while smithing (goldsmithing gauntlets). The remaining smithing can be done at the Artisans Workshop, superheating gold (if you want more magic xp) or maybe adamant armour - which is very expensive at the moment.

Without superheating gold, it's still a relatively cheap way to 99 smithing. Using the edgeville bank/smelting location I was able to get 72-99 smithing in about a month. I have not achieved 99 mining but LRC can provide the gold needed for 99 smithing, or you could afk mining at the dwarven lava flow mine. This is also where you get the mining boost outfit/gilded pickaxes if you didn't know.

I'd still do Superheating if you are going with the LRC rocks, it's a lot less afkable (by comparison you can semi-afk both LRC and gold smelthing), but takes a lot less time than doing the two separately. The only gripe with it is that instead of being able to sell the gold bars, you are down 1 nature rune per gold ore (unless you bank the gold ores, in which you are down maybe 50 gp per gold ore). But at the end of the day it should total no more than about 120k nature runes, which is around 25M or so in cash. It shouldn't be particularly difficult to earn that cash in the same you'd save if you super heated the ores instead (you could save several weeks worth of play time, plenty of time to earn that money).

Juju Mining Potions got changed (in my opinion nerfed)

If you aren't limited by time, Warband both.

They were buffed.
