• Shattered Worlds will be delayed (not cancelled).
• Skilling Pets will replace the August time-slot.
• This gives us more time to make other updates (including Shattered Worlds) better.

• ETA: August
• As you interact with a skill, there's a random chance you will receive that skill's pet.
• It will just require animation and character work.
• Skilling Pets placed 3rd on the 2017 Survey.

• ETA: September
• The goal is to make Mining/Smithing more enjoy-able and align it better with other skills.
• Everything is subject to change but we will be very transparent with what's coming.
• Planned to make mining/smithing the highest tier content better than lower tiers.
• Xp Rates should remain the same at the same level.

• Mining Rework - Early Development Ideas
• Smithing Rework - Early Development Ideas

• Content related but isn't mining will generally remain the same.
• Rune high-alch value would probably drop since rune will become more common.
• All existing mining outfits will work with the new system.
• Drop-table re-adjustment is something that's being looked at separately.
• Range/Mage content are not being touched.

• Encourage more positive engagement with Mining.
• Make it predominantly AFK.
• Coal won't be as influential.
• May make all ore stack-able. (Just an idea).

• Rocks will have Capacity.
• Life-points for rocks that will reward the player when they reach 0-capacity.
• Individual per-player to stray-away from competition.
• Normal mining hits deal capacity-damage and grant xp.
• Critical mining hits deal more capacity-damage, provide an ore, and grant more xp.
• % chance is based on your level/pickaxe.

• Increased tier provides increased capacity-damage.
• Rocks will have a hardness value, and pickaxes will have a penetration value.
• Mining a higher hardness values than your penetration value results in less critical hits/xp per hour.
• Pickaxe Styles (not available for launch)
• Normal/Two-handed/Dual-Wielding Pickaxes.

• Not planned but it's an idea.
• Strawpoll
• An area to provide risk vs reward for mining.
• The deeper you go the higher quality the ore, but the more dangerous it becomes to survive.

• Remove the grind and similar item reproduction.
• Existing gear: Bronze - levels 1-9, Iron - levels 10-19, etc.
• New gear: 70-79, 80-89, 90-99
• New Items on release:
• Full helm, Plate-body, plate-legs, shield, scimitar, (more if there's extra time).
• It takes a large time to develop numerous items, especially at high-levels.

• Xp drops will be increased.
• Rate of smithing will be slowed down.
• Bars will require more ores to create.
• New tiers of bar will require secondary ingredients.

• Affects new 70+ smithed items.
• Take items from normal smithing and create these new unique bars.
• Items made from these bars could have set-effects, perks, or other benefits.
• Produced items could be augmentable.

So much complexity....

At least I have until September to get 120 but now all prices are dropping because people are stupid and think that the update will happen tomorrow and people panic over anything....

Wow i'm sad that Mining and Smithing Rework isn't incorporating 120 skill sets

Same here! I really wanted it to be a comp requirement to annoy the compers haha, but I bet in the future, 120's will become a thing - They have to IMO to avoid dead content.

Lovely art of the armours

Tips:

After 99 make rune 2h/platelegs/skirts. Use forges, dg scroll and crystal hammer to profit. If you don't want to get your own portables use portables fc. There is nothing to it. Use yak and presets. Buy and sell everything on ge, just put an offer and let it buy/sell, might not be instant but they usually sell mid price. You usually use 3k bars/hour with yak.

RIP Me, making 3k bars from ore is 3 hours, then after the hour of Smithing 2H's, another hour or more of High Alch-ing them all ;-; Takes like 5 hours just to make and alch 1k Rune 2Hs from ores, rip

Note: I make the bars from ore cause it boosts the profit up a shit ton

*shrugs* It's a decent boost but yeah, takes a ton longer, guess I'm just skeptical about buying the bars outright lol

Edit: I'll try  buying bars outright when I finish this batch :p Would make plenty money either way I suppose, you use a BoB?
