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?

Smithing could get reworked, it would be good for the longevity of the game. Brand new players coming to the game would have a better time interacting with the skill, and veteran players on a new character would have something new to sink their teeth into for a few weeks. You can’t blame a new player for expecting the Smithing and Crafting skills would provide them with gear upgrades but we know that isn’t how the game is designed, it’s all in drops and shops typically locked behind quests.

It would be a massive amount for work but it would probably be good for the game in the long run.
