What is your suggestion?:

TL;DR: Add a roll for Smithers Pet when smelting bars

 

Currently the Smithers pet has a chance to be obtained in the following circumstances, each with equal likelihood:

1. Superheating

2. Motherlode Mine Strut Fixing

3. Crystal Bowl Crafting

4. Giants Foundry Sword Turn-in

5. Blast Furnace Bar Creation

6. Cannonball Moulding

7. Smithing on an anvil

 

This leaves a pretty obvious gap — smelting bars. 

 

As this is a common mechanism for training the skill, there should be a chance to receive the pet when smelting bars on a normal furnace. 

 

Is this in OSRS?:

No, but neither is the pet!

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

Not that I've seen. Also not a bug as it was the intended behaviour

 

How would this benefit Alora?:

Players can receive the pet through one of the skill's main training methods, and one they'd likely expect a chance to receive it from

Support. Seems like an obvious thing to add.

I support this, it makes total sense to have a chance to get the pet from smelting bars. Most other skills have its pet tied to the main activity. ishing when fishing, mining when mining, woodcutting when chopping logs. Even though the Smithers pet isn’t from OSRS, it feels logical to include smelting as one of its methods here. It would round out the skill nicely and make the pet feel more consistent with the others.

Support this seems like an oversight

Support! We spend a good amount of time smelting.

Yeah support, i think the rates would still be stupidly high given the formula, but at a shot at something is better than a shot at nothing
