nightspirit Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I personally think making a pickaxe would be alot more involed. As since the handle is made of wood i doubt that you could just smith the whole thing. It would also invold fletching, i suspect you would make the handle the same way of shafts other than that, I am for the smithing of pickaxes permanantley muted for offensive language! pwnd some noobs though XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdboy60 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 defineately gonna get support on this one. Great idea, and many people complain that they can't make them. Kinda dumb, but i guess Jagex wants us to blow 32k on a rune pick, or even more for a dragon pick (if they are released!), so we dont have a pure profit. But think about it, newbs start with a bronze pick. They mine and mine and mine and smith and smith and smith, and suddenly can pay for a rune pick and have left over cash. But if you can make them, not only is there chance for more money for you, but also more exp and such. Also, what if we could repair our own picks? I think you should include in your idea repairing picks and axes (not barrows stuff though, if u have it, then u should pay to repair it) because if you can smith it, then how hard would it be to hammer a few patches on? Sry for the lengthy paragraph, but i support all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Smithing pickaxes, YES, I have wanted that ever since... well forever. It never made sense to me that axes were smithable but pickaxes weren't. It would also be nice if you could make halberds (required Regicide to smith) and spears. But drop all, no. It would only mean we would see many more macroers, especially at the fishing guild. All they have to do to macro their way to 76 fishing would be to run their usual macro on a low fishing spot, and hit drop all on all of the useless fish. That would shave off a significant ammount of time needed to macro to shark level; and probally the same with woodcutting macroers aswell. So NO on that one.

Indizle Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 As we also know, the smithing skill is not exactly the most useful at lower levels (below 70 or 80). So I think: If we can make rune axes, why not rune pickaxes? It's basically the same thing, just with a small variation in shape. Mining and woodcutting are both equally competant skills for both f2p and p2p, so it should only be fair that both of their equipment costs are about the same as well. The pickaxes of each metal would have the same level requirements as woodcutting axes, for the reasons mentioned above. Theres a simple enough reason for that. You can buy all levels of pickaxes in game from the dwarf in the cave. However, you cannot buy a wc axe higher than steel anywhere in game (unless there is some p2p shop I don't know about). Thats why smithing axes is in the game, but smithing pickaxes isn't. so put me in the list of opposition. You cant have both. If you do decide to make them smithable, remove all picks higher than steel from sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookrhino Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Updated again! I added a new list, updated the old ones, and added a small addendum to my notes at the bottom of my first post!

Danyo Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I agrre that peckaxes should be smithable, but i believe that they should be 2 bars and should be around the long sword level for the ore type, as their shop value is the same as a long.

Thats why smithing axes is in the game, but smithing pickaxes isn't. so put me in the list of opposition. You cant have both. If you do decide to make them smithable, remove all picks higher than steel from sale. I was thinking of this exact thing, too. Bob is the only one that I can recall selling hatchets (old RSC term, I know) at all, and they only range from bronze to steel. I remember quite a while back getting a mithril hatchet from someone giving them away and being quite pleased because I couldn't buy it elsewhere and I couldn't make it yet. Something that people are probably forgetting because they are f2p or most people consider it out of the way: mining picks are also sold in Keldagrim, near the blast furnace. Besides that, the p2p quest "Between A Rock..." gives you a rune mining pick as a reward! Repairing axes and picks would be a bad idea. Fliers would become utterly worthless, and there would be no reason to go to Bob or Nurmof. I would be for supporting smithing picks, but having them be only 1 bar each, and considering both the availability of picks in the shops and the few drops that exist in the game, I'm going to have to say no. I would be for implementing more drops with a greater variety of picks, but in all likelihood they would be P2P monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopidoo2 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 im in to, would be cool to smith pickaxes... ive got an idea: you can only smith pickaxe heads, and for the handle you need to cut 1 normal log, and you need to use it on the pickaxe head.

SRRY FOR LONG POST... I DISAGREE... PS:srry if it's too complicated im not native speaker. if ne1 understand pls simplify it What are you talking about (the point; I understood your message)? You don't need a high wc level in order to smith woodcutting axes...you just need the proper smithing level. And how would it make smithing easier? It requires the same materials, you get the same experience, and both would probably have the same value per bar. So why not add it? The most harm it could do is make getting a very high mining level take 30 minutes less, as you avoid pointless trips to the mines once or twice while training.

Gamerr Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Why should you be able to smith pickaxes? It's nice how it is, there's a shop who sells it. And it isn't such a high price... So no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell1 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 i find the idea nice but that could cause a problem with the npc who sell them. i mean that people could smith 100's of picks and sell them makeing money so the price of selling should be reduced. On the other hand that could make the pickax market larger than it curently is opening new jobs for merchents. put me down as dont mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman01 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I like the idea but it'll never happen. Mining is the dependent skill in runescape You need Mining to train(get more exp faster) -runecrafting(and ultimately magic) -crafting -smithing(which goes into wc, att, sth,def and range) Knowing most ppl in runescape, they want to make a quick buck so the price will probebly hover around 30k(slightly cheper then shop). Ores will be easier to get but don't expect ore prices to change! As far as I can see the only ppl to win in the end will be the autoers and profiteers with high smithing lvls.

mrah Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 As far as I can see the only ppl to win in the end will be the autoers and profiteers with high smithing lvls. There wont be any profit if pickaxes would be smithable. Its what 32k in shop? So it will be a 2 bar item. Meaning it would cost us smithers anywhere from 28k-30k to smith. While no1 buys it for more then 30k on the streets. Tons of people sell them 25k ea on the street aswell. So its not like u can sell 100's each day. So basicly its just another useless item.

Fiery_Gyr Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 If they are gonna make a pickaxe smithable, it should be a one-bar-item. Just like the hatchets ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Itchlot Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I support.. And you should also have a "handle" for each bar in your inventory, which you can fletch from normal logs. Or buy from players if f2p. Should be the same for axes, in my opinion. Or, just make the heads then attach the handles later as if you would bowstrings.

gamesindians Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I support it. It would be a bit cheaper to buy and smith too. buy a rune bar 14.5k or 2 for 29k and smith, still a profit remains. If autoers are a problem, maybe Jagex should add a smithin random event? It is a good idea. The weird thing is, thats when you graph the price to pick, it is a huge curve, considering bronze pick is only worth 1gp, the inverted scale compared to axes is odd. Anyways, sorry for boring you but this would help everybody, and to noobs especially, the price would DROP. And what about a dragon pickaxe idea, maybe at a simultaneous time.
