Fast Way to Level Blacksmithing

xRegosx · April 2015

Hello everyone.I dont know for other people but for me improving my crafting skills can be boring.Well even if its boring i still want to improve my crafting skills so i thought it would be better if there was a faster way.About 2 days ago i leveled my blacksmithing to level 50 in 1 hour or maybe 1.5 hour and i want to share you how i did it.

First ,start by going to the city Wayrest in Stormhaven.Than find a place called Red Squall Armory near the Fighters Guild building.Behind this armory there is a building called The High King's Forge.You will have to go into Red Squall Armory and than steal every metal equipment in the first floor.(Swords,daggers,greatswords etc.)Than when you clear the first floor you will have to log out of the game and re login.When you do this,the items you stolen will respawn in there exact same position.You will have to repeat this untill your inventory is almost full.(You have to leave at least 4 empty inventory space to be able to deconstruct your items.)After that you will have to go The High King's Forge and just deconstruct the items you have stolen.İf you repeat this total process you should be able to make your blacksmithing level 50 in 1 hour or 1.5 hour.Will it be boring? Yeah it will be boring but at least it will be faster.İ dont know if there is a faster way but this is how i did it

i wish that i had a video to upload how i did it but unfortunately i dont.Good luck to the people who will try.

I do the same exact thing, i don't have a specific spot i go to, but i usually steal everything i can in a given area then decon for the mats and experience.

Decon IP is a fixed amount per material level. And lower level characters will receive a decon penalty until BS level 12~14.

Do you remember what level of material those items were and how much IP you were getting per decon?

It takes exactly 3,667,895 IP to level any hard craft (BS/WW/Cloth) from 1-50.

Even with VR9 Voidstone items it would take 934/849 daggers to level 1-50 BS. (849 with subscribed 10% bonus IP)

Did that one area actually provide more than 800 items?

Not questioning your accomplishment but unless those items were VR level the decon per item is greatly reduced. If stolen items have been given any bonus to decon IP it deserves some more detailed research to get good data to share with others.

I didnt think it like that,i did this process at veteran rank 9, and you are right it does deserve more detailed research sorry for lack of info.

The place the OP is talking about is chock full of items to decon. However, I think it would take more items from there to gain the same inspiration as say VR Loot would. One thing to keep in mind, the 0 cost items that are looted from containers give next to no mats, and very little Inspiration from decon. It appears that the loot from the JS do give more decon inspiration, and perhaps that is ranked to the character. So, it would be interesting to see how long a L15 (assuming normal quest progression to get you to Wayrest) would take to get to L50 in BS.

Also, low level characters, not just low crafting level characters, don't get as much Inspiration from items as VR Ranks. So, a L4 doing this would have to decon more items than a VR9 to gain the same crafting levels.

I've noticed that deconstructing some vr1 level purple dropped loot could give you mote exp than deconstruction of vr14 item crafted by other player.

That was not the case before 1.6 at all. In fact dropped was always a lot lower.

Any chance you remember what kind of item it was? Did it have inspiration or was it a set item that just might give more than a single crafted item of same material and level?

Yeah, I'd be careful with that. Don't know if I'd want to promote relogging as a method of char progression. Not sure if the verdict is out on that one.

As for getting minimal materials out of deconstructed zero-level items go, yes, I get that.

If (for me a big, no longer applicable if) you have spare green level improvement stones you can improve the item before you deconstruct it, which will greatly enhance your chances of getting something from it (best I've gotten from this was a honing stone, a style stone and 1-3 ingots of whatever) but it is random.

I have no idea what that would do to the inspiration you get

Note: Everyone chooses to level how they want/can, but if you choose to power level a craft and then want to do a craft writs you may not be able to get the raw material to do so. The writ is based on craft level not character level....

So be warned

in order to gain more exp per item, launder them first, then make your money back by selling the materials back

Any idea how many levels your *character* will level-up after fast-leveling blacksmith to 50?
