Cannon balls or Steel Plates

[Ethiery]

Ok, at the moment I'm trying to figure out which be better to do in the long run.

 

 

 

A) Mine 2k coal, 1k Iron, make steel, make cannon balls, sell 800k, buy 1k steel bars, lather, rinse, repeat.

 

 

 

B)Mine coal, mine iron, make steel then high alc the plates at 1200 each.

 

 

 

A is pretty slow, but makes good deal of money while B...is also slow, but more exp. But I ask, which way is quicker and more well....you get what I'm asking. Basically, trying to figure out good money/leveling proportion thingy.

Hmm, naw, I think my magic is fine, I can level that just fine other methods when I want it higher.

Actually, it's more like 900 each, for each plate needs 5 bars and a nature.

 

 

 

Cannonballs, I believe, would be better.

Cannonballs, for me, were well worth the slight smithing tradeoff.

 

 

 

Plates are a huge waste of money - would you buy 3000 worth of steel bars to alch for 1200 (and a 300 coin nat!)? Of course not.

 

 

 

On the other hand, the same 3000 worth of steel can sell for 4000 when you make 20 cannonballs out of those five steel bars.

 

 

 

So for every 3000 spent, cannonballs make a 3100 (assuming a 300 gold nat cost) difference in your net income.

 

 

 

Seems like a no brainer, doesn't it?
