Mining & Smithing Rework

Thoughts about this? Will you like the rework of those skills?

Excited for this one. Actually, the survey they did was pretty indicative of what's going to happen in the future. #FutureisBright

Seems like a nice additive to a long dead skill, tried rs for the first time last week on nxt and seems like the game has come a long way since the old days.

Is the exp rate going to stay the same for things like Rune items? Will Rune armor still alch for the same amount?

If it changes, it could cause a crash in the price of tune ores as pretty much anyone can get it.

Not looking forward to this... Going to effect the GE alot.

Does anyone have more information on this? Will current rune bars and whatnot become level 80 bars? Or will this just crash the prices?

I agree with all of these. @Themrman I think the Smithing levels will reflect those of their respective mining levels, which in some case I'd say makes sense if you look at how their defence levels line up, they become almost similar. @Yakamaru I think that as well. Rune ores may crash, and may cause the armor sets to crash in the GE as well, but the new armors will likely become the more expensive versions.


In my opinion, it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out considering mining and smithing both will reflect some level of realism in their actions. However, the economical turn it may take should also reflect their new ores as well. If rune ores remained the amount they are, especially with how easy access they are, it will definitely crash its price.

They said rune drops will be replaced with orichalcum or nechronium. I am assuming that means bars will as well.

However, those are level 60 and 70 tiered items while rune items are currently at level 85+ tier.

Looks sweet, glad i have 99 mining and smithing (ty warbands <3) cannot wait for this one!

I've been maxed for a couple of years, so it won't affect me too much. I do think smithable t60 - t90 gears will be awesome. Might even keepsake the t90 if it looks as cool as its concept art.

can't wait for the mining/smithing rework, always hated the way those 2 skills were in runescape, didnt like the fact that you need 85 mining for rune which is level 40 defence gear.

Can't wait for it! Especially the mining sides of things, since it's my most hated skill by far.

same with me, definitely hate mining the most, even over divination lol.

Looks like an excellent update, my favorite skill in all honesty.
