    If it works like enchanting, you can just get a different character to make them too.

    or, if you are levelling up a character and he/she will be your blacksmithing toon, then whilst grinding just de-construct everything. By the time you are v1 you should be most of the way there. The crazy thing is, though, like with woodworking and clothing, it's the research that is actually the one thing that takes bloody ages to do, and there is no way to fast track it.

    In addition to having another alt make daggers for your smith to deconstruct, make those daggers high level. The best gains are made if you have a low level character leveling up Blacksmithing (or any craft) while being "funneled" all the metal items gained through play by higher level alts. Veteran level items are best. Likewise made items of significantly higher rank than the alt leveling up will speed things up. Quality of item also helps. A green item will give more inspiration then an unimproved item and blue will give more then green, etc.

    I have a vr14 character that funnels all the items he gains to 6 other characters (alts), all between level 26 and 46. All of them have gotten to crafting skills in wood/metal/cloth in the mid 40's with enchanting going slower (mid to high 30's). Time frame for 6 alts each with 3 skills, all to mid 40's was 4 to 6 weeks. Mind you that is with stuff spread out, without making daggers, and in no rush. Concentrated on a single character and it could be done in much less then a week.

    I should say that I play daily and usually at least 2 or more hours a day (sometimes more like 6 or even 8 hours a day) so your mileage may very, but the principles are the same.

    Provisioner and Alchemy skills are much easier assuming you have gathered the materials needed (less than an hour to 50th).

    Hope this is helpful

    Agreed. It's SO slow to level, and crazy expensive if you want to level it quickly.

    Those final Nirnhoned Traits seem to take for ever.....

    Even with the ESO+ bonus 27 days per item is crazy!!

    Mind you suppose it gives you time to save up to buy the items to deconstruct......

    When my present items finish, I'll be able to set the very last lot going. :)

    @Spectral_Lord what level are you? Are you trying to level stuff up as an afterthought? That always seems the hardest.. my 1h&shield is taking forever on my main..

    @MissBizz, kind of an afterthought, yes. I'm stuck waiting for my researches to finish, so I thought of leveling everything, even all the skills, to the maximum. The only downside is that Dual Wield, Two Hand, and One Hand and Shield are only level 5.

    Ouch, get yourself some nice shiny upgraded training weapons for that one! Going to be a long haul I imagine. Best of luck!

    My v2 loves to grab everything from weapon racks; but even at that level, the "found" white weapons only grant about 300 inspiration - however when he improves them to green before passing them along, they grant about 3400-3700 inspiration; so if you can afford the tempers, it's worth it.

    I agree @JD2013 @Gandrhulf_Harbard

    Awesome guy and just goes to show that all this medical advice is not always the case.

    I'm not a small person. I like my beers and smokes and I'm in my 40's and definitely weigh on the heavy side - yet eat healthy.

    Chap in the office bought in this laptop, software and stuff that measures your heart rate based on eating/lifestyle blah blah and it turns out I've got the internal body of a 38yr old :D Kid in the office at 21yrs old was told his was a 43yr old.. LOL

    Aye, I am over-weight (actually I'm about 2 feet shorter than I should be) and used to drink like a fish. Still eat butter, because if you push the NHS specialists they'll admit that butter is healthier than the low-fat margarines that have Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils in them. Note, no nation on earth has ever tried to ban butter from the human food chain, at least two have tried to ban HVO.

    A good many years back I very badly dislocated my left shoulder, and unbeknown to me (or my doctors) at the time it slightly damaged the nerves that run down the left side of the chest to the heart. Anyway, some some years later I experienced all of the symptoms of a heart-attack except the crushing pain. Was rushed to A&E and had all the tests, and was given the all-clear, I had not had a heart-attack. A week later I was back in with the same symptoms, with the same outcome. After having presented to A&E seven times in nine weeks, all with symptoms that that first-responder paramedics were 100% convinced were very significant heart-attacks they sent me off for some tests. The treadmill cardio-endurance test; they measure your resting heart rate, put you on a treadmill and get you running, uphill, until your heart rate is double that of your resting rate, and then you maintain that for 5 mins; and if there is a problem with the the heart this test will reveal it 99% of the time - so much so that they have a crash-cart and resus team in the room with you while doing the test. Let me tell you I was shattered. But no issues with my heart. Then I had several ECG, and a two ultra-sound scans. The upshot was that the cardio specialist was gob-smacked, and insisted that it was a borderline miracle that my heart was in the condition it was - effectively perfectly healthy. At the time I was 37 years old, about 21 stone, 6ft 3 inches tall and had spent most of my working life in high intensity manual handling jobs. My blood pressure was textbook, so was my cholesterol and blood sugar. As of the last set of tests I had 20 odd months ago (now 45 years old) they still were.

    After all that they sent to me for more tests to figure things out with my heart they discovered the damage to the nerves heading to my heart. So even though all the tests show my heart is in pretty good nick, if I experience the symptoms at any time I am to call a ambulance because this time might be the real time; but in all honesty I don't - I give it 10 - 15 mins if it settles down it was the nerve signals getting mixed up, if it doesn't (and it always has) then I'll ring the ambulance.

    All The Best
    Those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse.

    Star has always been a stalwart companion - just like the firmament. Hence the name.

    However, unlike Mol, he has absolutely no fear of heights. I forget the dungeon where you have to cross a lot of shimmering purple bridges. Gave Mol the willies, but Star would just pause and hang out in the middle, looking at the view.

    Really cracked up my companions.

    Well. I did a run around Coldharbour with sword and shield... and I love it! Man, I missed being up in the face of my enemies like that. A little puncture, daedric minefield and spam some liquid lightning. It's so great, I think I'm going to keep sword and shield.

    Ha-ha, I'm not a fan of my sword and shield, but that's exactly how I feel about the great sword my little Khajiit is running with! Excited to try out dual wield

    Seeing this giant mountain of an Orsimer quaking in his great tanky boots while little Star was peering over the edges looking around like he was on a beach on Stros M'Kia...I couldn't help busting my gut! I mean this Orc will wade into the worst horde of monsters with a laugh, but suddenly he can't get across a chasm! And the little mud crab wouldn't get off those damn translucent bridges, no matter what Mol would do! Completely ignored the Orc for looking at the view!

    We just couldn't stop laughing. Quietly...wouldn't want to *** off someone as big as that Orc.
