*At [[Skills#Mining|Mining Skill]] 7, it is cheaper to purchase [[Iron Ore]], smelt [[Iron Bar]]s, and use the Transmute (Au) recipe to create [[Gold Bar]]s than it is to purchase [[Gold Ore]] and smelt it into Gold Bars. This also cuts the smelting time from 5h to 2h per [[Furnace]]. This saves {{price|350}} per Gold Bar in the first year and {{price|1000}} per Gold Bar in year 2+. | *At [[Skills#Mining|Mining Skill]] 7, it is cheaper to purchase [[Iron Ore]], smelt [[Iron Bar]]s, and use the Transmute (Au) recipe to create [[Gold Bar]]s than it is to purchase [[Gold Ore]] and smelt it into Gold Bars.
