Yeah the main reason why I wrote this up is because you can save yourself a ton of time just smelting ore and not running around. Especailly the first 100 points, you can level them pretty quick and cheaply with out leaving a major city. I also didn't realize you could smelt Iron and mithril for so long.

And Aethon, Yes I remember it being much worse as well, and that's why I put in the different levels that use excessive ore, like 24 bronze bars for 3 points,
