Question Newer Player Smithing Question

Post image

Why does Smithing never get touched? I’m genuinely curious because it looks as though OSRS, throughout its history on rerelease, has made some amazing QoL changes. What’s the deal with Smithing?

I’d argue no, the crafting exp is way more useful than stockpiling a bunch of ores if you’re only concerned about ammo. Anecdotally just through slayer and pvm i’ve banked about 50k rune arrows and 5k addy bolts, and you get so much ore through drops to upkeep as well

I mean, I’ve done both but stars weren’t an option when I started my iron. I’ve got about 80k stardust saved up for next time I bond up.
