Current Events > Thinking about my next Runescape gp raising scheme

(+) Yeah! (+)

So my initial idea was to make 1,000 sets of Steel armor. It grants a lot of smithing experience, which I want, and the profit is well over 1 million in-game gold. Goes a long way towards getting another membership bond.

But this approach has its share of problems. To make 1,000 sets of Steel armor, I'm gonna need 13,000 bars of steel. This requires 13,000 pieces of iron ore and 26,000 pieces of coal. That's a lot of mining to do, like I'm talking days worth of mining. The 26,000 coal is one thing, but to then go back for 13,000 pieces of iron ore? That's overkill.

So I looked into other options, and I found an option that takes less time and grants more gp in the long run. The only downside is that it's not worth as much smithing xp.

The current plan? 500 Mithril sets.

The amount of coal stays the same, 26,000 pieces, but I'm going to need half as much Mithril ore as I would need iron ore - 6,500. And the profit margin is better by over 1 million gp. For 1000 steel sets, I would gain 1,817,000 gp - at least with the way the GE is trending at the moment - whereas 500 mithril sets would fetch 3,169,000 gp.

I already have 375k gp in the bank, so with the proceedings from the mithril sets, I would be close to another membership bond.

Can you do that on f2p?

you're probably better off just selling the bars. mith sets are selling for 6k exactly in the GE right now. the 13 bars needed to make the set are worth like 10k and some change. plus bars are a lot easier to sell than sets overall, you might sell the first 80 sets or so instantly then will have to wait days, potentially weeks for the rest to drip-sell unless you go dirt cheap to undercut everyone else.

I don't get the smithing xp, but this is a good idea for GP. Thanks for the heads up
