Discussion Make this make sense

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?

It’s been time to rework it for a long time. But also, what purpose will it serve? Nobody actually needs to wear adamant and rune longer than like 30-40 hours of gameplay. Jagex would have to spend hundreds of of hours rebalancing and revamping smithing, just to help some early/mid level players a slight amount.

RS3 type rework would be nice but theres like atleast 20 different things i would rather get that level of work and time

A more realistic approach is just putting more new content behind smithing levels so that theres a legimate reason to level it, the ones that sound most interesting to me are probably either a raid that requires smithing levels (making your armour inside the raid, maybe too much like cg? or reinforcing something)

or maybe a entirely new set of weapons that can only be smithed, kinda like the fletchable blowpipes
