Hello,
There is now weapon crafting returning to RS6.
In the older system, you'd craft Weapon Parts, and then a certain number of parts into the final weapon. We've expanded upon this a bit, requiring a bit of extra steps and needed gathering. All items are highlighted in orange to standout.
The first thing you'll craft is indeed Weapon Parts, used in various steps throughout the crafting phase. This costs 1 Iron, which once again you are now going to obtain ores and gems from the mining system. In addition, you need another new part called a Weapon Assembly. Next, you'll need to create a specific type of assembly, let's say we're crafting a Combat Shotgun (yes, we're adding it back via crafting!) you'd need to craft a Shotgun Assembly. A Shotgun Assembly requires 8 Weapon Parts, 1 Weapon Assembly, and 1 Weapon Oil. Weapon Oil is crafted with Fish Oil and Lithium, and Fish Oil can be obtained from Salmon, Carp, and Black Bass fish by /crafting them into Fish Oil.
Finally, to craft the Combat Shotgun we'll craft together 1 Shotgun Assembly and 3 Weapon Parts.
We will release this system on a tentative release to see how it goes. Future adjustments are expected. This will require downtime tonight to deploy as there is some database adjustments required.
