meb Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well Smithing makes you no money and is a prestige skill so yes, it would be worth it for the cape. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Kimberly Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 If you honestly have no interest in the cape, then don't do it. Any improvements to the smithing skill for the future are, at this point, pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulxai Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So what's wrong with getting 99? You'd get a trimmed firemaking and trimmed smithing cape, get a better cape, in my opinion, and have the satisfaction you got 99 smithing. Look at how much xp you've already gotten! Just go the extra 1.2m and get it. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just go ahead and get to 99 since you're so close. And why bother to get 98 when you can probably buy all the items cheaper then you can if you were to make them?

tripsis Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 There is no reason that you would NEED 99 smithing.. in fact there's no reason that you'd even NEED 98 or 97, etc. etc. But do I think you should get it? Definitely. But it's all up to you. If you can afford it and want the 99 - go for it. Otherwise, I guess not. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want my opinion: If we go off of the previous high-leveled content updates (ie herblore, woodcutting, fishing, mining) none of these reached the level cap. It would be fair to assume then that, unless they completely recreate the smithing skill instead of just adding new content, it won't reach the level cap. The only exception to this I think would be dragon armor, but since MMG said that dragon ore won't be released any time soon, I don't see this being a possibility within the year.

Gandalf14141 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Personally, I say just go ahead and get it. It's one of the rarest capes in RS and to say you have 99 smith is quite an honor.

wormy Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I would say yes, I found using the dwarf stout to make things in large quantities to be rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Smither Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'd say no, gradually train smithing whenever you have extra ores or bars and you'll eventually get 99. There is no need to get the cape or 99 at the moment as all you can do is make rune plates legs, skirts, and the R2H, which you can anyway with a dwarven stout.

T. Skill Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'd say no, gradually train smithing whenever you have extra ores or bars and you'll eventually get 99. There is no need to get the cape or 99 at the moment as all you can do is make rune plates legs, skirts, and the R2H, which you can anyway with a dwarven stout. I agree. If you don't see any need to get the 99 (read: no desire for the cape) then there's no reason to get it. You'll probably get it eventually through any kinds of experience rewards you choose to use on it, randomly smithing here and there. And who knows, maybe that one day you go out PvPing (I'm not assuming whether or not you enjoy PvP) you may get a couple pairs of smithing brawlers that you might as well use to take a chunk out of that experience towards 99.

There's no rush. If you want the cape, fine, but it's not a particularly exciting cape (gold trim, wow, how unique) and there's nothing you can do at level 99 that you can't do at level 98. Especially if you have a fire cape already and the prayer bonus of the trim is less important. Actually, the trim is nice. If you train smithing, you should think of it as training to get a +4 prayer bonus. (If, y'know, you would actually trim it with this 99. I didn't look at your stats.)

Youmu Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yes. If you do that, then you just got another 99. Another skill that's been maxed out, and brings you closer to the road to maxing out your total level. :thumbsup: BlogTrimmed | Master Quester | Final BossBoss pets: Bombi | Shrimpy | Ellie | Tz-Rek Jad | Karil the Bobbled | Mega Ducklings120s: Dungeoneering | Invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_D_r Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Nope dont do it. Only make things you may need, or if at any point it is profitable to smith something (old or new) then do it. I just hate wasting xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Ike111 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Seems like you are trying to show off rather than ask a legitimate question. If by any chance you truly want to know if you should get 99 smithing, then the answer is it's up to you. It's just one level, so how are we going to convince you. You might as well do whatever you want to do, because we can't decide for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
