[2019] The requirements to smelt a silver bar are fucking ridiculous.

Originally posted by SweatyMudFlaps

Before the MS rework, a silver bar required 20 mining and 20 smithing. You took it to a furnace and smelted it into a bar.

With the M&S rework, you need to deposit ores and bars into the "metal bank" to be able to smelt or smith anything. You CANNOT smith or smelt from your inventory. For some reason, the Family Crest quest is required to deposit these ores into the furnace. This quest requires:

40 crafting

40 smithing

40 mining

59 magic

and for ironmen:

45 cooking

50 fishing

These requirements don't seem too bad, but all of that is now REQUIRED to make a silver bar. The only other ways to receive silver bars is:

Vyres

baby implings (17 hunter, RARE drop from each impling)

The Christmas cracker (expired)

and opening chests from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame

This is ridiculous. Let us make the bars from our inventory or remove that stupid requirement.
