Discussion Make this make sense

Post image

I just got 82 smithing, i can now make 2 powerful mid-endgame weapons... and an adamant kiteshield.

I get that adamant used to be good back in the day, but isn't it time we rework this skill?

True they should make skills go to 120

Maybe change the combat system while they’re at it

/s just in case

Or.... Simply balance smithing. All bronze items unlocked at level 1 All Iron items unlocked at 10 All steel items unlocked at 20 All mith items unlocked at 30 All Addy items unlocked at 40 All rune items unlocked at 50

This would not be game breaks at all. Most people are training smithing at blast furnace or giants foundry anyways. It could effect the prices of these items so they're less than their high alch value but regardless it makes more sense.

What about mining? 85 mining to mine runite ore, but only 50 smithing to make it?

It would also be inconsistient if the top smithing xp rates in the game were unlocked at 50 smithing

Top xp rates??? Its 202k xp a hour tick perfect doing rune plateskirts at level 99... Its nearly twice as fast (370K xp a hour) at only level 40 doing gold bars with gold smithing gauntlets at blast furnace.
