March 2, 201115 yr Interesting, a quest involving dungeoneering.I hope we get another bind as a reward.
March 2, 201115 yr However, low levels and the f2p should love a little workshop in the corner of varrock to make worthless junk for a little more xp until they can superheat gold as they train mining over at living rock cavern.F2P have access to Living rocks?
March 2, 201115 yr I just thought of something - SC Hammers. Possibility they'll be incorporated into Artsans Workshop? Personally if Jagex is all 'yeah the exp is better than addy plates' and they themselves said in FAQ that they weren't giving decorated urns to smithing - I highly doubt they'll let SC hammers into it.... :/ Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D
March 2, 201115 yr Oh no, I was never a fan of Elemental Workshop Part 3, now 4.... The Ring of Wealth update sounds interesting. I might actually start using one again...
March 2, 201115 yr looks like i have to get my dungeoneering up i have always loved the pirate quests. ~~~legoman187~~~ Clicky siggy for blogThanks Pendonub for fancy new sigThieving guide[WIP]Loyal player since May 2005 and member since November 2005 and Tifer for many years~~~legoman187~~~
March 2, 201115 yr Oh no, I was never a fan of Elemental Workshop Part 3, now 4.... The Ring of Wealth update sounds interesting. I might actually start using one again...There will be a 5 and 6 too?
March 2, 201115 yr Ring Of Wealth :D Hope it's interesting. Will use it for a lot of monster killing as small strength/attack bonuses don't bother me as much as some. Currently not active on RuneScape.
March 2, 201115 yr I'm particularly anxious on the ROW update. Haven't used that thing in ages. Hope I can finally make something of it.
March 2, 201115 yr The real challenge for level 70+ smiths, though, is making ceremonial swords... It's not for everyone, as it's a fine and precise art, but those who can master it should earn more XP working on adamant ceremonial swords than they could bashing out adamant platebodies... You have an odd definition of low level update. . Please tell us Willbur, why we should get excited about making rune ceremonial cabbage slicers that are most likely to be untradeable, unusable in combat, and high alch for far less then the bars cost?Rune cannonballs would be a great smithing update. This cabbage, unlikely... vey unlikely...However, low levels and the f2p should love a little workshop in the corner of varrock to make worthless junk for a little more xp until they can superheat gold as they train mining over at living rock cavern. Please don't call me that, I don't appreciate your tone. If you really want to know, it's pretty likely that these decorative swords are valuable to the artisans, and that they can be sold, at a better xp/gp rate as opposed to the fairly significant losses associated with superheating gold at the caverns. For all we know, it might turn a profit. This is all speculation, but it's never constructive to just assume that it's going to be obsolete on release, so I have to assume that they worked out their numbers right. If we just went around saying that all of the content is already obsolete in BTS discussions, very little would ever get said. If it is obsolete content, then we'll deal with that when the time comes. ~ W ~

March 2, 201115 yr most of the updates look sweet. but the smithing update. err...why not add difrent grades of cannonballs? at least that would be usefull. but no, we still have a level 40 f2p ipen at level 99. I'm a Brony and proud of it!
March 2, 201115 yr @direwolf: god, can't you gen-discussioners all agree on something?!?!!? Seriously though, I'm excited for the pirate quest, and find everything else to be annoying. Also, a pirate quest with a dungeoneering req? It's like they're trying to make the quest cape annoying to get.... /nomad

Don't get me wrong, I think it'll be a great way to train smithing, but the long-awaited smithing update would be better off being something that makes smithing more useful. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it. Poignant Purple to Lokie's Ravishing Red and Alg's Brilliant Blue.
March 2, 201115 yr Look on the bright side -- you can make some seriously kick-ass Rune armour! Oh, wait ... :unsure: Can't wait for my new armour equivalent to sacred clay, zamorak, guthix, saradomin, arma, bandos, ancient, gilded, gold trimmed, trimmed, 1 heralded, 2 heralded, 3 heralded, 4 heralded, 5 heralded, rockshell, proufound. It is clear to me that you are just trolling.I've posted numerous comments in this thread about the "smithing update" and THIS is what you take away from this? Really? :rolleyes:

And i am looking forward to see how Pirate quest is.

I love this series of quests and their quirky sense of humour (and that no kittens were harmed). :lol:

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.
March 2, 201115 yr Hugely disappointed with the sound of the smithing update. Do we really need faster ways or more economical ways to train smithing it already has both. Rune/addy bars give huge exp/hr while gold ore once the bars are sold is only about 2.5-3gp/exp (cheaper if you buy ores on a low). Honestly the training methods while not that elaborate for smithing are the last thing that needs work. All skills 80+
March 2, 201115 yr Had been looking forward to a smithing update for a loooong time. This seems like a bit of a disappointment though. Not what I had expected at all. [hide]unbinding green's kidneys for ltk's heartdo you farm guam like me sir ltk[/hide]
March 2, 201115 yr However, it will be hard to choose between Berserker/Archer and Ring of Wealth. <_<Wear your normal ring then change to ROW when it's about to die. :P But losing 1 inventory space = cost alot. Examine ChenGMT (level: 138)
March 2, 201115 yr It would be really easy to make smithing useful. make a smithing requirement on a Boss door. lvl 90+ smithing needed to enter. Similar to dunging. Or make it a gradient. The higher smithing doors open up to better bosses. Combine it with slayer, agility or whatever, and good overall stats will be suddenly seen as good, instead of the regular requirement of: ovls, yak, rapier, turmoil. Lots of low-level smithers, but otherwise maxed players will complain, but what else is new.
