Should refining ore be increasing my blacksmithing experience; only it doesn't seem to be?
I'm pretty sure that when I've refined rough wood I've gained some woodworking experience but this doesn't seem to be happening with blacksmithing (I'll keep a close eye on it next time though just to be sure).
