When can smithing make money?

[digitalstick]

At what level can i start making money by smithing? I'm thinking about getting it higher but i'm not sure if it's worth it.

Well, you can start basicly when you can smith iron bars and make iron throwing knives. Then you can make steel bars and make cannonballs. Making full addy's is ok money, but the best cash is obviously when you can make rune stuff.

:D no difference

Oh, then the only way to make cash I can think of is making steel bars and/or making addy or rune items. Smithing isn't that great for cash at anythin' under 70 smithin' in F2P, sorry :?

You won't be able to make any good money from smithing until level 85. Until then, the materials will always cost more to buy than you can make from selling them, until you can smelt rune bars. Not counting smelting steel, of course, from which you can make a profit at level 30.

 

 

 

Now, you CAN make profit selling full addy or mith, I guess, but people are so rarely buying those things that you won't be able to sell very many.

Pretty much smithing is only 'profitable' (*term used lightly*) when you mine your own supplies. For members they can make money making steel bars and cannoballs. Members can also make no-fail iron bars with forge rings so as also to make money.

Smithing gets profitable at lvl 30 when you can make steel bars.

 

If you want money then sell the steel bars for 500-600gp ea.

 

If you want exp and money then get your Smithing to lvl 48 and make steel plates.

 

You can sell them for 1k ea or if you can high alch them for 1200gp.
