As title says. Requiring a whopping 6 to 8 coal ores to smelt a single bar (that's 4 adamantite bars or 3 rune bars an inventory) is kind of ridiculous in my opinion (and the opinion of others I have asked in the game, I am not alone!) and should be change to reflect the population of our server and the fact that smithing is a useless skill on our server, it really is. The only use of smithing at it's current state is to be used as a time sink (if you make all your own bars / mine your own coals) or a MASSIVE gold sink (because coal and bars are disgustingly overpriced) and that should not be the case.
I suggest either changing the coal per ore requirement, either halving it... or even making it 1:1 because that's a bit more realistic.
Or
Making coal bags NOT cost 300 VP each (really? 300?) and allowing them to be stacked up to 4 times in your inventory.
Orrrrrrrrr
Adding 4 sizes of coal pouch (similar to runecrafting... Giant/Large/Medium/Small) and adjust their capacity accordingly.
I'd love suggestion #1, but I think we could all agree with suggestions #2
The high cost of the coal bag only hurts people that want to level their smithing to 99 and helps inflate the market even more (coals are 3.5k each)
Thanks!
