Smithing Levels 85-99

Just one more step until you can finally be the proud owner of the Smithing Skillcape. Now you can smith Rune items, but too keep the cost from going too high, it is advised not to smith rune items, as it would cost over 1,000,000,000 coins. The best item to smith to reach level 99 is Mithril Platebodies. You will need to smith 39,104 of these, costing a staggering 200 million coins.

Item: Mithril Platebodies
Place: Varrock (Freeplay/Members)
Approx. Cost of Smithing: 235,797,120gp
Income from selling platebodies: 132,171,520gp
Estimated Total Profit/Loss: -103,625,600gp (Loss)

I don't know if you made a mistake or your just really bad with math. But smithing any bars will lose a lot of profit. Smelting is the only way to break even or make a profit...

Steel plates require 3 bars, i believe?, that's around 2.7-3k in cost if you purchase the bars. Alching a platebody will get you 1.2k...so you lose 1.5k-1.8k per steelplate body. Starting with iron ore and coal i think you'll only lose around 600gp per platebody. All these losses are excluding the price of nats

people above really need to learn math and/or the skill itself

personally i calculated this a few days ago and found addy is a lil cheaper than mith from 88-99 with the prices of bars at that time. not only that, addy is faster xp so you spend a lot less time smithing allowing you to do more with your time (skill, merch, gwd, spend less time on rs!). This could change slightly depending on prices of the bars now though. but do 85-88 with mith, then 88-99 with addy.

dont do steel bodies for sure, thats a complete waste and takes a lot longer (since youre above 68 smithing). steel bars is about 900-1k ish each depending on the market and 5 bars per plate so steel plate cost about 5k to make, but only alch for 1.2k. so you're looking at a 3.8k loss per steel plate not including nats and you need to smith A LOT more bars than you would for mith/addy so it'll add up. why people smith steel, i dont know.


in the mean time, hope this helps... i'll probably recalulate later on today so if i do, i'll edit my post and put in the costs/loss, ect.

Such a pointless skill...

 

[Collector]

do addy plates they are pretty good.

Your post is pointless - Injoy the spamming infration.

Such a pointless skill...

Yeah I think it is too.

They really need to do something about it, getting smithing levels up is so difficult and cost heavy compared to other skills. It's too hard to get 90+ smithing just so you can create rune items that you can wear at only 40 defence. Also, you can make more money from mining ess then you can in the time it takes you to mine and inv of rune ore to create armor or bars..

yeah smithing is a pretty respected skill... always wanted it since rsc days so i'm getting it with this bonus xp thing. Plus, i'm hoping and expecting they'll throw some update out in the near future for those with high lvl smithing... maybe the new combat armor thats suppose to come out this year might require high lvl smithing?

[Bring Me The Horizon]

Talk about taking ages. Why would he do iron knifes? That looses money AND would take forever?

 

[Engolphed]

^ Agreed , i k now its either going to be Addy or Mithril plates...=s

 

[Soul Crusher]

coal=279gpx2222=619k
iron=247gpx1111=274k
619k+274k=894k
steel bar=1108gpx1111=1.2mil
cannon ball=379gpx4444=1.6mil

cost=894k profit=789k total: 1.6mil

Go to sc and get some hammers, then do adamant plates.

 

What about smithing gold with the special gauntlets?
