Actually you're wrong about bar prices keeping adamant bolt prices stable, it is just the opposite of what you state, bar prices are determined by the highest valued item you can make from them, and for adamant bars that would be adamant bolts.
Cheap and easy to get broad bolts WILL drop demand for adamant bolts and both bolt and bar prices drop just as they did when broad bolts came into the game in 2008 and they will do it again if they come into this version of the game.
And when addy bolts crash so will mith bolts, why pay 160 to 180 for mith when you will be able to get adamant for nearly the same price?
Smithing once again fades from an honorable and profitable profesion and becomes an expensive hobby for wealthy players.
There are only two slayer beasts that need broad bolts, count them, two.
Why devalue the smithing skill so wannabe rangers can have cheap training ammo with adamant strength.
Lol you act as if adamant bolts define the smithing skill. You are the wannabe smither sir.
Who uses adamant bolts for training? You've probably never touched a bow in your life, so whatever you say about combat is probably bs. Adamant bolts are made to be put into better use such as adding gem tips for the bolt effects, which are highly effective on bosses mind you. Even after broad bolts were released, adamant bolts and diamond/ruby bolt (e) kept the same price or even went up. IIRC, diamond bolt (e) were 1.2k each. That doesn't sound any different from the prices we have now.
Note that there are only 1500 people in ALL of OSRS that can smith adamant bolts. How many rangers/slayers are there in OSRS? Wayyy more than that I guarantee.
The greed of 1.5k people (even less since some of them may want broad bolts too) vs 25k+ people is quite outrageous. Broad bolts must be released in its original form.
