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!

No support for changing coal reqs, support for lowering coal bag price. I enjoyed the grind of smithing even if I am a reg nub, however coal bag is a really nice item to have and should be more accessible

How about just adding it (and/or size variations) to the loyalty store similar to how runepouches are in the runecrafting store?

I don't like the idea of making mechanics that are the same as OSRS hugely different like this.

 

No Support.

No Support.

Did you read the rest though? What about adjusting the way the bag itself is obtained. That's already hugely different than OSRS. :P

Also I don't think halving or adjusting the coal requirements is a huge difference. Maybe classics should keep their OSRS conversion rates, I dunno.

NO SUPPORT! This isn't easyscape my guy. I'd have to say this this is one of the lazier suggestions I've come across. It's literally the same mechanic as OSRS, but you're getting x40 XP on here, so I don't understand the request to have it be 1:1 or less. As far as the Rune Pouch like Coal Bag idea, Issa no from me too. That would destroy the Smithing mechanic in general and we don't need that, because this isn't a Custom RSPS server. Lastly, regarding the "Disgustingly overpriced coal and bars", making money on here is like taking candy from a baby........And at least you get to buy em instead of mine them. Just keepin it 100.

There needs to be a balance here; making it too easy to obtain will crash the price of bars as everybody will be smithing them more frequently. I definitely support reducing the VP cost however the size of the bag needs to remain the same to make it as RS-like as possible.
