Method
A repeatable practical cycle
Fund the coffer
Deposit enough coins for the planned session on an official Blast Furnace world.
Build the coal base
Load the conveyor with the coal required for the runite cycle, using the coal bag to reduce trips.
Add runite ore
Deposit runite ore only after enough coal is in the furnace.
Collect the bars
Equip ice gloves or Smiths' gloves (i), take the runite bars and bank them.
Repeat the bank pattern
Keep run energy active and follow the same coal and ore sequence to avoid stalled batches.
XP vs profit
What changes the tradeoff
About 104K XP/hr at 2,075 bars/hr
Each runite bar gives 50 Smithing XP. Faster banking raises both XP and gross output, while the ore spread and coffer fee determine net profit.
