Imperial style and Blacksmith help

adilesarub14_ESO

So I have to simple questions:
1. When I bought the Imperial Edition of the game it said one of the perks was that I can convert any item into the Imperial style whenever I want, does anyone know how to do this? I know how to craft Imperial style stuff but what about converting stuff?
2. Whats the best way to level up the Blacksmith craft? I can increase Provisioning really easily but whenever I forge something I seem to get very little experience for it. Any advice?

If you right click an item in your inventory you should have an option to convert it to imperial. You can convert items that are currently equipped as well.

Some items aren't able to be converted though, usually quest items.

As for blacksmithing, the best way to level any of the 3 main equipment crafts (blacksmithing, clothier and woodworking) is to deconstruct all the items in that group that you can. I like to hold on to items with traits I need to research but decon everything else. You also get more ixp for deconstructing items crafted by someone else than an item you've created.

If I remember correctly, right click your equipped armor and it should an option to change it to the imperial style. It binds it to you, however, so be aware or that.

Just know you cannot revert items and some special drops do not convert. Otherwise, as said above to convert to Imperial style.
