Ode to the Runescape Blast Furnace, pt 2

In the previous Blast Furnace entry, I eluded to some special tips for those working with Mithril and higher at the Runescape Blast Furnace, so this is the entry about that.

Besides just being a highly efficient place to make bars (because using the Blast Furnace halves the number of coal you need when creating steel, mithril, addy and rune), the Blast Furnace is an awesome place to use a bit of strategy to get huge amounts of smithing experience.

This strategy doesn't work with Steel nor Iron in the Blast Furnace area because Jorvik doesn't trade in armors made from those metals.

The basic premise of this strategy is to take a look at Jorvik's inventory, find a world that has 10 or less of some item you can smith, and then do your smithing according to what you discover. Sell your smithed items to Jorvik, and hop worlds when there are over 10 of the items you can smith in the world you're in at the time.

Depending on what time of day you do this, you can stay smithing for an awful long time with the $ you generate from this strategy - buying ores with the money you make, and selling the products to Jorvik, and hopping worlds when the time is right. Your 50k will last and last if you make the right things that Jorvik needs and hop worlds when his store is full or when the ores in the world you're in are below 50 of what you're using. Obviously, the more ores you bring in, the longer you can go as well.

This last bit is, of course, because the less ore in stock, the more expensive it is to buy those ores from Ordan. This is why the general strategy of "super-stocking" Ordan's inventory of any one ore is a decent one if you're all alone in the Blast Furnace, because when you buy them back they'll be cheaper, which is especially important for ores like mithril and above.

Good luck and good smithing!
