I left blacksmithing extremely late - can anything be done?

EnglishDragon17

I am currently V1 and I have only just got up to blacksmithing lvl 10. Is there anything I can do to quickly get the lvl up? Please help.

Decon your VR1 mob loot. That will level it quickly. You don't need to max it out to unlock the material for VR1, I think you can get that in the 30's somewhere. If you need lots of loot to decon, then go farm the zombies at the Vile Lab in Coldharbor (leave the East gate, go South at the Fork, you will find it on the road. Observe the pattern then follow it and you can fill up your bags in about 30 minutes, so empty them out before you go there. You may also gain a VR Rank or two at the same time. Sell the Wood and Cloth to pay for repairs/bank gold and decon the metal.

Note I really hope you have researched traits. If not get two traits in all the things you will use, then research the third trait. It does not matter what ones, but I would learn the more useful ones first (Divines, Infused for the first two, whatever you like for the third) You can make some great Special Crafted sets with only 2 traits known.

Just wanted to add that I leveled woodworking really quickly on my veteran character just deconning all the mob loot. You get a lot more inspiration from deconning veteran gear at veteran level. Early on, I'd gain several levels and even in the 40s, I'd usually gain a level if I had a lot of gear to break down.

Now, the trait research, on the other hand will take a long time, so follow Nestor's advice to at least be able to create you own set gear rather quickly. Fortunately, there are only 6 different pieces to research for woodworking, so that one doesn't take as long even if you start it late. Clothing and Blacksmithing each have 14 different items to research (though you can limit clothing pretty easily to just light or medium). Even Blacksmithing can be narrowed down by focusing on the pieces you're actually going to use.

Leveling the line does not take long, at all.

Researching the traits you've probably not starting on, well...
