Smithing Xp system needs work.

[puppetblood]

how come a dagger and a sword give you the same xp when smithed? You'd think that the sword would give a little more xp because it's a higher level to make than the dagger. I think it's pretty stupid that xp goes by bars and not levels when it comes to smithing. Anyone else agree?

Uhm.. no?

More cost= More EXP.
Same cost= Same EXP.

Jagex's answer to smithing was artisans workshop...

Look how that turned out.

 

Eh, the whole skill needs worked on to be honest. Rune armor just isn't the best, or even close to it anymore, and having to get 90+ skills to make it is a bit ridiculous.

I remember when people would set up "smithing shops" because they were the only one of their friends that could make Rune and would take the bars and some money to make rune armor, now Smithing is a GIANT money sink for a 99.

This. Smithing was dead, and they gave a dead update to the skill with AW. Oh well, Gold Ores is still always a good failsafe.

 

Smithing really need to be re-done.

More things should be added, it's been like the same fucking thing for years :S

Smithing xp is based on the number of bars you use.
A sword and a dagger both use one bar, so the xp is the same.

I think it's okay like that.

 

Smithing was a great skill when only a few people had high levels.
Actually, Runescape was a great game when only a few people had unique high levels.
I can't even think of a fix, personally. But no, 1 bar = same xp.

Smithing gives exp per bar used. It should really be per item made.

Smithing became useless when Jagex released Bandos//Barrows//Torva.

its like construction, you get xx xp per plank.

in smithing you get xx xp per bar. not what item u make.

 

Personally, I believe it's fine the way it is. It should be by how many bars you have used, however, it would make sense that a sword takes double the amount of bars than a dagger.

So... just that part really.

I think they should increase XP rates of smithing things, the way it is now is just a waste of time and money. However I think showing off that 99 smithing skill is a pretty big accomplishment, so at the same time I think it should stay the same.

i think they should have new smithing items you can smith for your POH, so you can get more EXP different ways, mine new ores for the stuff for your house and then improve your house so it would be improving like 3 skills basically.
