Smithing Rune Platelegs

Requires 99 Smithing to smith rune platelegs, 3 runite bars and a hammer (regular or sacred clay).

The use of a normal hammer results in 75 Smithing xp each bar or 225 Smithing xp each set of rune platelegs smithed and double that (450 xp) when using sacred clay hammers (each last for about 64k xp before they disintegrate).

A lose of roughly 6-7 gp/xp with normal hammers and half that with sacred clay hammers. Extremely cheap when compared to adamant platebodies; about 1/3 the price. Though the xp is not as fast it is still quicker than most methods.

With the release of the Scroll of Efficiency (requires 55 Dungeoneering and Smithing, costs 20k tokens) there is now a 5% chance that while Smithing runite items that require at least 3 bars you will retain 1 bar.

It might be worth noting that runite bars can be, at times, very slow to buy even with the best offer at stable prices and can be difficult to bank mass amounts of xp due to their expensive price.

This video is 225k xp/hr (without bonuses, mainly Varrock Armour 3, sacred clay hammers and a Pack Yak), though 220k xp/hr should be pretty easy if you're at least trying.

A complete cycle of inventories is roughly 32.4 seconds; 2.4 seconds to make a set of rune platelegs, so 21.6 seconds for all 9 per inventory, and roughly 12.6-13.2 seconds to bank. Now obviously 21.6 + 13.2 does not equal 32.4 seconds, the reason for this is that the Smithing xp is quite delayed in comparison with the animation, and as such the first 2.4 seconds of the time making rune platelegs is counted at the end of the banking time (my banking time is from the last xp gained to the first xp gained on the new inventory).

The effects of Varrock Armour 3 are completely random and I don't have one myself so I can't give any estimates to the extra xp/hr (usually about 10% faster, give or take. Not even sure if it works with runite).

The use of a Pack Yak on the other hand is highly recommended, it does add roughly 6 seconds onto each bank trip but because it can hold 30 bars (nicely turns out as 10 rune platelegs and no bars leftover, meaning the exp is consistent each inventory) it potentially saves a whole bank trip therefore reducing the time of bank trips from 26.4 seconds (2 normal bank trips) to 19.2 seconds (banking with a Pack Yak) making this method about 7 seconds faster each minute. Though, you will need to smith-x amount rather than smith-all to to be able to withdraw from your Pack Yak without interruption

A complete cycle of inventories with a Pack Yak is about 62.4 seconds (with the xp delay in mind), making it 245k xp/hr.

I also use a full bank so I can deposit all the rune platelegs in my inventory and keep my hammer, not required but it does makes things a little faster and a lot easier.

I think it would be handy to note that when smithing your xp is based on the bar, not the item. e.g.

plate legs = 3 bars = 225 smithing xp

that means that runite is 75 xp per bar.

that means that 1k bars making plates would give the same xp as using 1k bars for a hatchet.

@luvd392 I thought that was obvious but I've updated the description to avoid any confusion.

[vik4a1]

@vik4a1 No money is made, it's in the description how much I lose.
