Smithing Pickaxes

We can smith items such as hatchets, swords and armour, so why can't we smith pickaxes? They could be smithable at the same level or close to the same of hatchets. Any opinions?

Yeh this would be a good add on. It would be so much better then trapesing to the dwarf :(

the funny thing is that hachet and pik needs a wooden handle

and u dont need a wooden hadle to smith a hachet

this is actually a good idea, and that is weird about hatchets not needing a wooden handle. You should only smith the head for both pickaxe and hatchets. And the better log you use to fletch a handle the less chance of the head flying off.

But in that case they'd probably have to change smithing entirely to maintian consistancy; meaning you'd have to smith handles fow swords out of gold, make the wooden part of maces, use the feather for full helmets and so forth. Maybe it'll happen down the future, but I don't think a huge change wouldn't be welcome quickly.

good idea but wrong forum :D

this could be good but i prefer it the way it is...so that people wll have to gather money to buy the pick

There's a reason picks are unsmithable. It's the same reason black armor and dwarf cannons are unsmithable and abyssal whips are so expensive; it's a money drain. Jagex doesn't like how much gp is in circulation, and so has added various items that are purchase-only to remove some of it from the game. It's certainly not enough - just look at the billions of gp passed around daily for p-hats for proof - but that's why they're there.

Agreed. Dargon got to say it before me. The sooner you're capable of making something, the sooner it goes down in price.

no good idea, the market would be flooded with pickaxes and prizes would go down.

ya but even if it is put into the game it will probably members' feature. oh ya,willyhenriksen how is this the wrong board?

smithing picks a good idee...

but they need 2 change this:

smithing axe heads (or pick axe heads) not fully picks and axes...

pics has a bronze handle... make handle smith able...

axes has wooden handle... make handle craft able...

use the axe head on the handle... y doesnt it give crafting exp?

erm probably picks are nt smithable is due to its marketability... if u are carefull with ur pick, u onli need 1 for the game.. no need to buy extra or make extra..

Black armour.. maybe they do not have any idea how to come up with it.. like wad kinda minerals to make up black armour...

I doubt black armour exist... whereby material itself is black.. unless its plastic.. :lol:

Exactly. There are just too many little things like that that don't make sense. I couldn't say it any better.
