Unfinished Business Update List

we're here with an update on the Unfinished Business strategy that Mod Osborne announced earlier this month.There's Unfinished Business to attend to. Let's get to it!

Mining and Smithing
This came up high in the survey �" second only to the Bank Rework - and you were forthcoming with a ton of useful feedback.
Interestingly, you seemed more keen to see new content added to the skills than you were to see level parity with equipment tiers. This is the overall priority order of elements that you wanted to see in the rework:
I want Smithing to be able to make useful combat armour
I want Mining and Smithing to be profitable skills at high level
I want Smithing to bring an untradeable combat benefit for high-levels (like overloads, for example)
I want the Mining skill to be the best way to get ore
I want the practice of training Mining and Smithing to feel more streamlined and reactive
I want the level requirements of Mining and Smithing ores to be reduced to the level they are for combat (e.g. Runite can be smithed at 50 and wielded at 50)
I want Mining and Smithing to be more fun and sociable
I want Artisan's Workshop to remain a good training method after a Smithing rework
Our designers have put together a plan to address the results of the survey, which we're reviewing right now. We'll be ready to share that with you soon.
