StarDerp said :
Does anyone have a rough estimate on how many cannonballs it's possible to make per hour on oldschool?

Also yeah it's a shame, I'd love to get void but nobody ever does pc and even less people do the highest level boat. :(

I think its 6 seconds/steel bar, so 162 seconds/invent (27).

if banking takes 8 seconds or so (not really sure) thats 170 seconds/trip total.

3600 seconds/170 = 21 (21.1 but we can just round down for this)

21 trips/hour with 27 bars/trip (4 cannonballs/bar) = 567bars/hour = 2268 cannonballs and ~13k smithing xp.

May as well also add:

steel bars are 750gp each, cannonballs are ~240gp each atm, so (960-750) = 210gp profit per bar.

210*567 = 119,070 so 119k/hr profit.

I wish I didn't fail so badly at maths in high school. Would be so cool to be able to do stuff like that^

Right, so I'd need to 56 hours of smithing cannonballs to reach 73 smithing in order to create my own addy bolts.

...

Anyone know any good tv series'? >_>

Lol, I enjoy calculating stuff like that so ty to you too.

If you are prepared to take a loss (relatively small) for much more experience/hr, I would suggest perhaps making gold ore-> bars instead.

gold ore is ~420gp each, bars are ~260gp each so 160gp loss per bar.

at 56.2 exp/bar (goldsmith gauntlets) the gp/xp is 160/56.2 = 2.84

at 6 seconds/bar (176 seconds/trip this time because 28 free spaces) and so 20 trips/hour at 1573.6 experience/trip (56.2*560) you are looking at 31,472 experience/hour instead of ~13,000.

the net gp/loss hour would be 89.3k instead of 119k profit, so its up to you, but gold is 2.4x faster experience/hour for a 200k/hr difference in gp.

The main downside however is that gold ore/bars are sold less frequently, so you'd need more start-up cash for this to work efficiently.

See if I actually had money, I'd definitely do the gold ore -> bar method, but right now I don't, and doing cannonballs from my current level to target level is 26.8m profit If I calculated it right.

26.8m profit?

you said 56 hours of making cannonballs, at 13k/hr that is 728k experience. 56*119,000 (the gp/hr profit for cballs) = 6,664,000.

thats 6.6m profit for 56hours, 26.8m profit would require 225hours of cannon ball making. Unless you are going for 84+ smithing solely on cannonballs (which I doubt considering addy bolts are at 73) *or* you made the steel bars yourself, your calculations cannot be correct.

edit: I see the problem. 2268*56 = 127,008 = ~30m profit is I'm assuming the reasoning you followed?

That doesn't take into account the cost of the bars in the first place.
