Superheating Gold Ores

This is a fairly fast method to train smithing and magic. The setup I use is shown here. I suggest using mousekeys. It is especially useful for using the 5 button as your left click. It is far more consistent than the left click (and that goes for any other use... runecrafting, etc.).

For most of the superheating process, you simply leave your mouse hovered over the superheat icon and that gold ore. I take my hand off the mouse and just hit 5 on the numberpad until it superheats all of the ores up to that point.

I click in sync with the sound effect. It may appear slightly off in the video because of lag in certain places. Basically you click superheating, then the gold ore, and when you hear the sound effect (which has 2 rhythmic beats), you click superheat on the first beat and the ore on the second, even maybe a little before! Using this method, the next superheat is always queued to go at top speeds.

I do make a few mistakes because of lag.

In this 6 minute test, I gain 13,656 xp, which is around 136k smithing xp/hr (114k magic xp/hr). This does seem high. I'm not sure as to whether they have always been this fast.

At the current GE prices, it costs about 9.2 gp/xp (smithing), but you also get mage xp. (It's around 4.7 gp/total xp.) Be sure you are wearing gold gauntlets from the Family Crest Quest.

Also, the new mining locations (caverns) are kind of great if the price scares you. Using the concentrated gold rocks, it's possible to get 60k+ xp/hr with a dragon pick axe, 90+ mining, lava titan (which seems to be better than BoB). You can also make quite a bit of money for smithing. I personally alternate between granite (which is still faster) and concentrated gold mining and superheat while I'm at the GE merching.

The audio is a RuneScape SoundTrack.
