Player-Made Equipment: Needs Attention?

[Freesia]

Smithing is still used for knives, one of the most popular ranged weapons in runescape, and cballs of course. Lack of use to make weapons and armor won't kill smithing

[Stilev]

helpful yes, practial? maybe not so much, with rune plates already having a 99, rune ores already hell to get :? ganna have to basicly re-work 2 major skills

[Mukkor]

Maybe a medium level smithing is required to make an armour/weapon, but needs a very-hard-to-obtain item(s) to make it with? :-k

I agree, too many things now days are non-player made, like drops, shops, or quest rewards. I think were starting to move away from relying on other players, and to relying on npcs, which isn't what runescape is supposed to be about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How about being able to smith cannons, or at least being able to upgrade them, which will also increase the production of of cannonballs.

Won't happen because smithing already maxes out with stuff to do at 99 and can't go any higher. :-X

yes you can.

[Sharane]

Changing level requirements of certain skills has already been done (protection from melee for one) there IS a chance levels being lowered slightly to fit an extra item or cramp the current ones so you can add more. Look at construction; you get several new things to make on each level.

[gift_of_flab]

I agree with you. We do need more unique smithable items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then 2H/bow things in that quest would be a good start. If we could smith and use them then that would be brilliant.

 

 

 

Even though I agree completly, do you know how many people would complain. People complained that the requirements for the warriors guild were too high and should be lowered to suit their needs. People don't want to train, they want everything handed to them on a platter. Although, can you imagine the RSB rants :D .

[sjefderat]

I wanna see the cannon balls made that the dwarf has...

[Brinner]

ya i think the next biggest update (if player owned stalls dont come out) would be player owned weapon making.... example you can make the blade a different style to go towards defence,attack or strength and make a hilt of some type of wood then you can probably give bonus points to a certain attack style...

[rune0nite]

What about being able to upgrade rune weapons like how barrows weapons where they degrade but the only way to resharpen them or something would be to have the smithing lvl plus a rune bar or something.

[wakka102]

what they really need is a big firemaking update, its never had much of a use :P

[Hunter2007]

Smithing is dead. Cannonballs are still made but it is boring, I mean yes it does help with mining aswell as you can mine and smith BUT you just make up to rune and that is boring!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, they shudnt make d wepons smithable because! everyone who had 99 smithing wud be able to get it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What else would you get dragon bars from? Dragons of course!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But making them, mining the ore, It would be guarded by something but it could be taken out easily. In my opinion, dragon shud stay rare.

[rebrew576]

yea mining and smithing definetly need some updating.. i havent seen any updaates on mining or smithing since i startted, whichwas several years ago. i also think mining needs some updating... maaybe a dragon pick axe or eing able to make pickaxes through smithing i never understood why i couldnt make pick axes
