Is there room for Herbicide anywhere?

Something along the lines of (like rs2) you tick which herb you don't want, but due to OS having Un-id's, you would have to pick the herb up. Once you identify it, if you had it ticked off, you would get the exp for cleaning but the herb would get destroyed.

It basically just saves you constantly having to drop low level herbs during slayer tasks, so it's not going to give bonus herb exp and you still get to keep the herbs you want.

Thoughts?

So when you ID the herb, you get exp, and you get the same exp when it's destroyed?

Seems rather niche.

As for the Varrock diary, are you just going to throw in the furnace at Edgeville without polling it? Having another furnace that close to the bank completely devalues Smithing as a rare cape. I will be disappointed if this is just placed in-game without asking us. Please poll the furnace seperately.

Yes, to save you dropping it. It's just like the Bonecrusher, no-one actually uses it to train prayer, it's mainly to tidy up the floor (usually during slayer). This would be the same thing, no extra exp for id'ing the herb with the Herbicide in your invent so no-one can complain about it being "OP". Just for those that are using it, it's just saving them constantly dropping low level herbs.

Anyone that picks up most of the un-ids they see can relate I'm sure.

Everything's being polled before it comes in, but what's wrong with the edgeville furnace? Smithing is only a rare cape because it costs a lot and isn't very useful.

I totally gets how this can be useful, I just question how rewarding it would be in relation to achievements diaries.

Perhaps it could be added as a perk to be bought from slayer points?

It puts to waste all of the time and effort that us smithers have already put into the skill. Giving everyone else a better opportunity for faster smelting experience isn't needed. There's already a bank IN the Blast Furnace, that's OP enough as it is.

Most people with 99 smithing didn't even use a furnace, so I fail to see your point.

As for not being very useful, I believe you're wrong. High-level smithing is required to make DFS, Godswords as well as Spirit Shields. And about it costing a lot of money, you're also wrong about that. I've made well over 65m thus far from Smithing. Use the Blast Furnace, it'll make you loads of cash and give you tons of Smithing xp.

Disappointed with nerfs and lack of stats presented on items, wasnt expecting top tier stats for any items but still curious as to what was comparable.

Also any idea on how much of an increase in quality ores MLM will be? Fally elite feels like it needs something else besides 50k/h boost at MLM tbh
