1. Get up to 3 carpentry however you feel, but you should craft about 5 handles.

2. Build a Mill and a Lumbermill. 1 and 2 are not absolutely required if you can borrow a forge or smeltery, but are quite necessary for your future.

3. Get to rockma

4. Get a flint or firemaking bow, and a stone pickaxe.

5. Burn a thatching/large leaves/large compost

6. Place that over 2 veins of iron

7. Mine all the iron

8. Gather about 2 veins of coal

9. If there is not a forge you can borrow, pick up a bunch of sandstone, and keep crafting sandstone stuff until you get 4+ masonry. Build whatever you want with it, though you should build *something.*

10. Make a forge

11. Make an iron pickaxe. You should get to level 2 smithing. You will need to make 2 if you did not make a forge.

12. Make all your iron into steel. Spare some if you plan on using it for something else.

13. It is optional what you want to do here. If you want to go straight to mithril and/or bluesteel after meeting the smithing level requirements: Spam a bunch of steel pickaxes and steel swords, until you get to level 4 or 6. I recommend 6, so that you can just get a gold jug here and pretty much be set on smithing levels. If you choose 4, you can go and make a mithril pickaxe. Your choice dube. If you are probably going to chill with steel gear for a while, feel free to make a full set, extras if you want for backup + higher smithing level.

14. It is also optional. You could either go for mithril or bluesteel right now, it wouldn't matter. Personally, I'm a bluesteel guy, so I'd just go make that, and then make whatever tools I want, then go work on my base. I'd take/ all my sandstone buildings from earlier, and place it wherever. And there you go, you got your tools.
