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.

Are you arguing that the time you've spend achieving 99 smithing will be wasted if there's a more convenient method released?

I don't want to be the one bursting your bubble, but when you max (if you ever do), you're going to hate a lot of updates in this game.

The time spent mining past 61 before the wildernes rejuvenation update was completely wasted.

The time spent hunting past 73 hunter before the aforementioned update was completely wasted.

The time spent training prayer in a POH before the use all function was implemented was completely wasted.

The time spent training range before... You get the idea.

No one will devalue the incredible achievement of you reaching lvl 99 in smithing before the skill was made redundant by the achievements diary update.

Moved new Lunar spells to Hard rewards of the Fremennik diary and specified rune costs.

Those seemed much better as elite rewards given how useful they are.

Removed increased cannonball smithing time from Morytania rewards.

Why? I really liked that one and it was not overpowered at all.

Also, the Shades xp boosts are still not good enough. If you're only going to marginally increase the prayer and firemaking xp given then the minigame needs better rewards.

if people seriously want the bonecrusher to go on the elite diary then atleast allow it to grind bones into bonemeal when you have pots in your inventory. it's getting more and more useless suprised people are even going to to use it.

The bonecrusher was never OP you aren't suddenly going to see massive prayer gainz on the highscores just because people are now getting half prayer xp for killing monsters on their slayer tasks. *´¨)¸.*´ Kilot ~ Failed RuneScape player.

"Added noted desert goat horns to the Desert rewards."
Yay =D Not sure if anyone else suggested it, but I'm glad to see a reward like this was added. Also, I love the bonecrusher reward. Good thing I trained at ecto over altar and kept all my tokens...

Overall, I think the revised rewards look amazing. Although I'd much rather have a nerfed enhanced Excalibur than the nerfed bolt spec increase... Also, I still think the karamja furnace access should be given to a lower tier like medium instead of an elite. Still, those are only a couple small things I'd prefer see changed; the rest is great!

And as a comment to something mentioned earlier, I think the bonecrusher is fine as a hard reward. With the half exp and the charging, it isn’t that useful as it is. Moving it to elite would mean far fewer people would get access to it and would probably be less useful to players with elite stats. All for it getting buffed with the elite rewards to offer more exp (maybe 25% less instead of 50%?) or not require charging though.
Also, I love the auto-bone grinder reward idea.

To people wanting cannonball speed increase: what is it worked like the varrock furnace rewards and was a chance to speed up? So 1 in 10 or 1 in 5 cannonballs smelt at half the speed. This way the port furnace would still have advantages over the edge one from varrock without making cannonballs superfast.

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.


Grand Tree

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'm pretty sure the furnace would just come out if achievement diary rewards pass they can't poll every single individual reward because a few players are moaning else we're going to have like 50 questions. *´¨)¸.*´ Kilot ~ Failed RuneScape player.

"Bonecrusher - an item that when carried automatically crushes bone drops and provides half the prayer experience you would of gotten for burying them. The bonecrusher is claimed charged with a small amount of ecto tokens."

It has to be full exp if it need charges OR no charging for half exp.

Just
don't make any attack or strength requirements over level 70
to any of the diaries. Many want to keep themselves as a mage/range based character with attack and strength at level 70. Any higher would pretty much make them melee based, me included.

I just don't want you to "force" players to become melee based.
That's all.

So far I like all the achievement diary rewards. Very good job on those :)
