Well you might not even be bothered, but i thought i should point it out anyway.

Well in the smithing guide you said:

'The best place for freeplayers and the second best place for members-only would be the furnace in Al Kharid.

The best place to smith bars would be the West Varrock anvils.'

Well i dont think this is right, if you follow this it means you have to smelt stuff in Al Kharid and make weapons and armour in varrock, im too lazy to take a long walk like that myself.

I suggest going to falador to do your mining, smelting AND smithing. Now before you go off saying 'Oh but there is no anvil in falador', you would be wrong, ok technically it isnt IN falador, but it is a smite closer than varrock is to Al Kharid.

If you have completed Doric's Quest (http://www.runeweb.net/index.php?page=rs2-quest-dorics for anyone that hasnt), then you can use his anvil which some of you may know, is quite close to falador, and falador is has an entrance to the dwarven mines in it and a furnace.

I dont know if there is anywhere better for members to go because im not one myself, but id say that is the best place for free members. If you dont like my suggestion then just tell me to go to hell and i'll be on my merry way.

P.s. The dwarven mines dont have any gold or silver in if im correct, so if it is those your after falador isnt the place.

The thing is, it's intended for people to smelt all of their bars at once, and then smith them later. If you were doing it all at once like that, then yes, the Falador circuit is faster, but if you buy/mine 1k iron, it's much faster to smelt them all at once, then smith them all at once, rather than smith/smelt at the same time. Also, if anyone tells you to go to hell for making a mere suggestion, they're bound that way themselves far sooner than you are. Thanks for trying to help

Ye but, if they get a lot of ore, they can smelt it all first and then smith it afterwards without the long walk in the middle.

But its no problem, just trying to help.

The other thing I think you're missing is this: As it was mentioned, the guide is for people who do a bunch of smelting, then do all the smithing, therefore it's still faster to take the one walk to Varrock and use the anvils there than to make roughly 37 trips to Dorics if you've got 1,000 bars to smelt.

On the other hand, I believe most people would just tele instead of walking...

Ye i thought of your first point about 5 minutes before i read your message, it is quite a long walk from dorics to fally if youve got to do it repeatedly.

For your second point, yes, people could tele, unless they are like me and are out of law runes.

Although i dont think any of you on this site would run out of law runes, it seems a very high level site in general, and most of you probably have enough money to ummm... well... enough money will do (i cant think of anything to say after 'to' ).

Im wc at the moment and logged on today, for some reason i was in varrock, so obviously there was a reason i wasted my time walking all the way to varrock, just kinda sucks that i cant remember it. *sighs*

So now i have to walk ALL the way back to draynor.

Well, at the time of writing the loop from Al-Kharid to bank was the fastest that Freeplay could muster. The best place in freeplay (possibly members) is Varrock.

*whap* *whap* *whap* *bleeding forehead*

What's your smithing level?

It's ridiculously inefficient to mine, smelt, and smith one batch of weaponry/armor at a time.

Spend a few hours mining ore somewhere. Teleport to Lumbridge. Walk to Al Kharid. Smelt all your ore. Teleport to Varrock. Smith all your ore.

2 law runes used. If you can't afford two law runes, you should stop now and go play tetris.

If you teleport between each and every trip, well, you're a bloody douchebag.

My smithing guide tips and tricks section states the most efficient, fastest way to perform the skill. Your way is, well, not the fastest.
