obsidian

[NeoHysterix]

I just think that there should be a new metal called obsidian. You need the same lvl of mith to smith and mine it and you could only mine it with an obsidian pickaxe (got the idea form people using diamond to break diamond because of its hardness.) in the karamja volcano, lava maze, tzhaar, and other places where there is lava. Anyone like my idea?

Obsidian is a form of volcanic glass, (SiO2) it's not a metal, the idea of the TzHaar obsidian items is that they are relatively hard to obtain, and not mass producable.

If it's the same level as mith, why do we need it?

I dunno I was just reading something about aztecs and how the use obsidian blades and that idea just popped in my head. I didnt know what to call so i just named it a type of metal and if I had know idea what obsidian is i wouldn't post anything about it but thanks for the background information utopian flame.

The good thing about being the same lvl as mith would be that it gives 75% more exp than mith. mith dagger: 50 exp obsidian dagger: 87.5 exp

Plus, not to mention that we already have obsidian stuff... It sounds like you already know that it exists, why make a suggestion that would make weapons that are weaker than the obsidian weapons ALREADY IN THE GAME. And flame is right, obsidian isn't a metal, nor can it be smithed like metal.

Actually, the dark dagger used in the legends quest is made of obsidian, and has stats weaker than steel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But whatever floats Jagex's boat!

shoot! I forgot about that! I should think more of whats already in the game and in reality before posting!!!

Obsidian can be made however all you do is find some igneous rock and chip pieces off to make sharp edges. Some blades made from obsidian can be sharper than modern scalpels used in medicine i can see making obsidian arrows however similar to Native American's.

smithing is taken up, almost all lvls are being used by something, theres no more room for crap, honestly isnt the ability to make full rune enuf?

and the tips can be as sharp as an atom in length on the blade, they should be considered better then drag items.....

Obsidian can't hold an edge. It's too brittle, and blunts extremely quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steel is far superior.
