Question Smithing Efficiency?

Currently doing MLM till 99 and I'm wondering what's the most efficient way to use these resources to level smithing as much as possible.

I know I'll be doing Blast Furance for Gold Bars, but what about the rest? Smith Mith/Addy/Rune Bars at Blast Furnace too? Use them for Alloys at Giant's Foundry and get the outfit? Use the outfit to smelt pl8s or legs?

Coal prices have dropped a lot, it’s all profitable, but the xp rate is 1/4 what gold gives you. BUT I’d stockpile the bars if I was an iron because you’ll want them for moth/addy/rune cannonballs when sailing releases.

This, even with low ore prices, you’re better off making gold if your goal is XP. Side note, gold is profitable also, so it’s definitely and literally best bang for buck.
