Zaspiel's Mining, Smithing, and Crafting Guide

Featured Replies

I read on offical, and it still rocks. It may not have motivated me to spend 1.5-2 years on 2 stats (3 if you count crafting) but it is an awesome guide!

Rofl. My chair has a fridge, a cooler, a toilet, a shower, and a barbecue bulit in.

Hey, I may have quite Runescape, but I just bought an XBOX 360 and play way to much COD4 with the Gamertag Lava Mage

One word: WOW!

 

 

 

Brilliant guide! Loved it! I'm going to go and train smithing crafting and mining right now.

My friend you would not tell with such high zest / to children ardent for some desperate glory / the old lie: Dulce et decorum est / pro patria mori.

These 'noobs' are not people as such, they are soulless creations of corporate greed.

Is it possible for me to get the whistle back? I dropped it before and now I can't seem to get the napkin :wall:

I like the irony (no wait, paradoxicality) in how there's a spelling error in this sig.

I thought I would give this guide a bump, because I've started using the gold mining method :P

You might want to add that bracelets are much better to make than ammulets. Bracelets alch for 330gp, so you can buy your own nats, and still make a profit..

Wow. =D> .

 

 

 

No pictures, it's too, way, too long. Yet somehow the writing, your passion, and the humour made it truely great.

I read the whole thing and the information was incredible! 10/10 \'

Absolutely beautiful.

 

I am indebted

Very in-depth guide...maybe too far -.- Still a great guide and GJ.

I prefer to, after mining my gold, use a glory to edge, bank, and use the fairy ring there.

I love this guide!

 

 

 

Right now I only have 60 Mining and 51 Smithing, and its making me want to get those skills up.

 

Which I'll certainly do.

 

 

 

9.5/10.

 

 

 

It would have been nice to have a few pictures.

Barrow Drops: Guthan's Helm, Karil's Crossbow.

5 Pieces of the Crystal Key so far.

 

I would never consider meeting people irl. Not just because of risks that they could be a 40 year old man who is only interested in the bottom half of your body.

OMG this ****** amazing!!!!! 10/10 plz tell the guy he is a legend. (sorry for the swearin but this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!)

 

 

 

Too bad im f2p :(

98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!

Good guide!

 

 

 

But I prefer C balls and gold ore mining for levels.

 

 

 

Is that just me?

One of the most usefull guide ever. Gold is a long but effective route.

 

I focus on smithing, and mining/crafting are rewarded.

 

For the gold usage : think about plain gold bracelets that give more money than amys and do not need to be strung. Of course alching enchanted gem jewels is nice.

Oh baby light the dark side...

Looks like I'm going to have to update this, as some methods are out of date.

 

Hopefully Zaspiel still has it up on the RSOF.

Very interesting guide, no matter what anyone says.

 

I like the mathematical take on the the game. I never really thought of it myself but then again i do not play much

Nice guide. Good detail.

 

 

 

I wish you'd talk about smithing guides for f2p. I'm lvl 68 smithing imagine getting there in f2p. gah! I mine, smelt and smith steel mainly. I don't think there are a huge cluster of gold rocks in f2p - worthwhile using.

 

 

 

Meh i usually play another game at the same time so time goes by fast.

i have read this on the official foorums too.Its a nice guide and Loongguide.I have read it whole and i must say:amazing :thumbsup:

 

 

 

10/10

Ah this awesome guide I read before, it was good, I'll just suggest better things to add to its beauty, if it has not been added by previous posters within the last 8 pages.

 

The amulets can be high alched instead of sold. They high alch for 210 gp. This means in order for you to profit from high alching your amulets, you MUST make your own nature runes. Since nature runes sell for 300 gp each, you won't make a profit if you buy your nature runes. Ultimately I do plan on crafting 80K nature runes and high alching all of them. But this won't be until after I achieve 99 smithing.

 

Wait, don't do this yet. If you have at least 82 rc, there is potential more magic exp out of this. Craft your own astrals and use string jewellery spell on them, this spell works like alch, 1 set of runes for each ammy, clicking this spell with 27 ammies in inventory, your character starts casting the spell 27 times for each number of ammies in inventory, working like afking alching. Value of ammy remains unchanged. That makes (83+65) magic exp for an ammy with an additional 4 crafting exp for stringing.

 

 

 

If you have finished the Legends quest, you can make golden bowls with the gold bars. You need 2 gold bars to make 1 golden bowl. When you use up 2 gold bars to make 1 gold bowl, you get an additional 30 smithing exp. So this actually comes out to 71.2 smithing exp per ore, instead of 56.2 smithing exp per ore.

 

 

 

You first click on the gold bar, then click on the anvil. Then you get an option that says, "Make bowl?". Then you click yes, and you will smith 1 bowl. You must go through this procedure every time. The bowls high alch for 420 gp.

 

Major flaw in this method, gold bowls from that quest can't be noted, making alching a major inconvenience. There are two forms of failing, mainly wasting one or two bars, so just bring 27 bars, I have yet to found any relationship to whether you will fail and waste 1 or 2 bars yet.

 

 

 

that blast furnace method...i tried it and i always can only make 4 plates then have 4 bars left...what do i do?

 

 

 

p.s i can record the method if you'd like

 

As I have said before, I haven't tried the Blast Furnace, and I don't have the best of ideas how it works. Either read Tip.It's guide, or post in H&A.

 

Use the AOW guide on soloing the blast furnace. For statistics, You smelt, smith and alch approximately 430 mith ores (in plates), that's around 35k/hr, with a profit of 400-600 per plate. You would have higher ore smelt/hr with steel.

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

10/10

 

this is the best mining/smithing/crafting/strength :twisted:
