Post by: RuneScape News on February 03, 2020, 16:01:06: Game Update: Mining & Smithing Changes

We kick off February with a clank and a hiss this week as we introduce a round of changes to Mining and Smithing.

It's great in the sense that all mining bots are disappearing with the update, and metal supplies will rise back to normal prices. However I really do feel there are ways this could've been done more smoothly, without affecting the actual players who enjoyed this reworked mining from last year. :( :(

We want to make mining and smithing great again.

Jagex, 2020:
We have decided that you're all enjoying mining too much and we cannot have this. Oh, also, we need a way to make stone spirits valuable...sooooooo...

Hardly. It is getting somewhat hotfix but there's no "rush" so could be a few weeks. They are reverting it all to the same rates unless ur at 0 stamina. Might be enough to afk some of the ores with spirits

I don't know.
