Acquiring Materials
Theres 2 types of Smithing. Either you smith bars, or you use the bars to smith gear. You mainly get ores from Mining. But some monsters allso drop ores or bars. Most of the gear you can craft can allso be gotten from monsters, mainly the knights. But dragon armor is harder to get. And you cant get the Dragon Helmet or Dragon Boots from anywhere else than Smithing.
Efficient Training
This is a long one, so here's a
tl;dr:
Mine 60.000 Mithril Ore.
Get 99 Mining.
Mine Rune Essence or Coal Ore with Mining Skillcape to get 240.000 Coal Ore.
Make sure to always have Smithing Gloves on at all times, if you are rich you can buy 211 gloves already.
Smith all your Mithril into Bars.
Smith all the Bars into Mithril Platebodys.
Get 99 Smithing.
Sell the Platebodys for a total loss of 10.7mil GP.
The guide:
The most efficient training method depends on alot of things.
What is your goal? Is it to get to 99 as fast as possible, or is it to prepare for the future? How are you gonna get your materials? What mining level are you?
It is far faster to get your materials from mining opposed to killing monsters.
The main problem you are gonna get to is the Coal Ore requirement. (This guide is also assuming that you aren't using superheat Alt. Magic spell to heat your ores into bars).
If you haven't started mining yet, this is the route I would advice you.
Start mining and just mine the highest ore untill you reach Mithril.
If you are activly playing, switching from a depleted ore to the 2nd highest ore you can mine while your highest ore is dead will speed up your mining exp. But that is way more actively play.
When you get to Mithril. Mine around 60.000 ores.
Get your mining to 99 by just mining the highest lvl ore you can.
When you get to 99 mining, buy the Mining Skillcape, which will give you 1 Coal Ore for every mining action you do.
For each Mithril Bar, you need 1 Mithril Ore and 4 Coal Ore.
So for 60.000 Mithril Ores, you need 240.000 Coal Ore.
Now theres 2 options: 1. Mine Coal Ore, you are now efficiently getting 2 Coal Ore every time you mine a Coal Ore. This is the fastest way to get 240.000.
2. Mine Rune Essence. To get to 99 Runecrafting you will need around 330.000 Rune Essence. Which if you are ever gonna get 99 Runecrafting you will need to mine at some point, so why not now. When you mine Rune Essence with the Mining Skillcape on you still get Coal Ore every time you mine.
You get baseline 2 Rune Essence per dig, but due to the Mastery unlocks you sometimes get double that.
So on the way to getting 330.000 Rune Essence you get somewhere around 140.000Coal Ore.
After that you could mine some gold and silver ores that you will need furthere in your adventures to upgrade your gear to (S) and (G).
Full Mithril (g) is 700 Silver Bar and 1000 Gold Bar.
Full Adamant (g) is 1000 Silver Bar and 2000 Gold Bar.
Full Rune (g) is 1600 Silver Bar and 3000 Gold Bar.
Full Dragon (g) is 3200 Silver Bar and 6000 Gold Bar.
Full Ancient (g) is 6000 Silver Bar and 10000 Gold Bar.
Using Seeing Gold Potions will give your Silver Ore a chance to also produce a Gold Bar when smithed.
Or you can just mine Coal Ore til you reach the goal.
Now we get back to the smithing part.
If you did the math, 60.000 bars only gives 35 exp each bar, and when smithing Mithril gear you only get 50 exp per bar used? That only adds up to just above 5million exp, and you need 13.034.431 exp to get to 99.
With Smithing Gloves the exp for each bar and gear is increased by 50%.
50% ontop of 5mill still isint 13mil.
Thats why we take a look at the Mastery unlocks.
Smithing has the most items you can get Mastery in by a alot. This allso means the Mastery pool is very big compared to every other skill.
This means its harder to reach those mastery pool checkpoints. But makes it easier to reach the individual item checkpoints.
1 Mastery Tokens gives 0.1% of Mastery pool. Thieving has the smallest pool at only 4million compared to Smithings at 57,5mil. This means 1 token in Smithing gives more than 14 times as much Mastery exp than a thieving one. Along with the chance to get a Mastery Tokens increases the more milestones you unlocked. And with Smithing having the most items you unlock, it allso haves the highest and fastest growing chance of you getting a Mastery Tokens.
So getting to 99 Mastery in Mithril Bars will take you very little time.
Now what does this do?
Mastery gives you a base chance to preserve resoureces. Meaning you craft a Mithril Bar, but you dont lose your ores and Coal Ore. Giving you a free bar.
It allso gives you a chance to get 2 bars insted of 1.
So without counting the 25% and 50% Mastery pool unlocks. When you craft 60.000 Mithril Bars you preserve materials so you acctualy craft around 78.000 bars. And when you craft 78.000 bars, you optaine around 105.300 bars in the end due to the chance of getting 2 items insted of 1.
To be most efficient and fastest when using the bars, we pick the platebody. As every item takes the same to craft, and gives the same exp per bar, therefore using 5 bars at once is 5 times faster than if you were to make Mithril Daggers insted.
And we only use 1 kind of item, so we make most of our things at 99 Mastery, the faster you can get your Mithril Bar and Mithril platebody to 99 the more you save.
With your 105.300 bars the same preserve and double thing happends when you craft platebodys. You craft a total platebodys around 27378, thats 6318 more platebodys due to the preserve. And in the end you get around 36.960 platebodys to sell.
Now while we are doing all this, we are wearing Smithing Gloves. Each glove costs 100.000 GP and gives 500 charges, so each charge costs 200 GP.
You end up doing around 105.378 crafts, making you spend 21.075.600 GP on gloves.
In return you can sell all the Mithril platebodys for 10.348.884 GP getting you around half the money back.
If you followed this guide, you are now the proud owner of 99 Mining, 99 Runecrafting banked, 99 Smithing and a debt of around 10.7 mil GP.
