some skills make no sense level wise.

My biggest complaint is redwoods... why have such a high requirement for a material that's used for lower-mid tier gear? Why have such high requirements for smithing rune armor.. when it's level 40 armor? etc etc.

Can anyone please explain this to me? I just hopped onto osrs after about 15 years, so it's been a while, but it feels.. really dumb and feels like the skills are devalued when the actual products made/gathered are so much lower of a tier.

Like, 99 smithing for a rune platebody............ Make it make sense.
