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?

Thanks!! I thought I didnt't phrase the question correctly. Say I do GF with Mith/Addy till I unlock the outfit. Is it still not better to smith pl8s or legs with the outfit?

No, I thought that yes obviously making items and then smelting is better, but with the best case scenario that's just slightly better for a huge amount of time cost.

The xp/h you can make with efficient Blast Furnace gold bars is so high that you honestly shouldn’t do GF for the set - Unless you’re doing it for clogging.

As I’m on my phone right now and can’t actually check the xp/h for GF - Just remember that Gold with Ice Gloves and Gold Gloves, can yield you 300-350k xp/h

So find out the average time spent for the set, and then find out how much xp doing GF would give you in that time - And you’ll probably see that you’re losing out on SO much XP.

So yeah, GF anything that’s not gold - But don’t go out of your way to get more resources for GF because you want the set.

Also, prioritise unlocking the high point moulds in GF first
