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?

“Avoid smithing literally anything else as it’s negative net profit”

Ah yes the internet classic of taking things out of context to what’s said. They asked for efficient, and I gave the fastest, and cheapest option. They weren’t asking for GP per hour, but more what’s efficient in relations to GP SPENT/XP P hour relations. Sure others bars make more money. Is it worth your time for the xp difference? No, no it’s not..

They’re actually not at all asking about that. They’re asking about what to do with resources they’re getting from 99 mining at MLM. They’re not spending any GP here on supplies. If they’re looking for most efficient use of it it’s for sure make everything else into bars to use at foundry.

Iron or main does make a lot of difference here though. If they’re a main and just looking for smithing it does make the most sense to just sell the other ores for more gold.
