On the first accounts I had, I always planned on making all my own armour...after around level 40 or so smithing I just quit the two all together XD Course, i used to smith by loading up a full inventory of iron in rimmington, bank it, then go to dwarven mines and compete for the 6 coal rocks for two inventories...took ages to level...now it seems so fast and easy! i always thought mining and smithing were the main skills of runescape...all about making your own armour and/or selling for lots of $$$ now smithing = loss of money.
