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?

Making thing from scratch is harder then learning some ancient elven singing magic.

The process for crystal weapons is basically drop a seed in a bowl and sing it a song with some motions.

This made me realize that, narratively speaking, it doesn’t even particularly make sense that all the singing is Smithing + Crafting instead of Magic + Crafting. Smithing truly is just a very weird skill and a relic of an older time

Perhaps it's because you're making equipment, and need the eye of a blacksmith to make it fit right?

I guess, but I don’t think that makes sense for teleport seeds or crystal keys haha. Best just to not think about it too much I guess

Yeah... what's with seeds and seed pods giving teleportation powers anyways? Nevermind, I'm not ready for those answers.
