| Ive been managing to make some decent money off of smithing so far ( im only Blacksmith lvl 17). This is almost solely because i do a good bit of mining. I find my own ore and smith ingots to raise my skill. I usually can sell iron ingots for 2.4-2.5k each and i smith my own brass ingots to raise my goldsmithing (these sell decently as a stack on my server; Quetzalcoatl and you can also go further with them to rasie skill BrassIngot> BrassSheet> BrassFlowerpots etc) as well as finding the rare but very nice Darksteel ore which sells for 8K (again on Quetzalcoatl).
So far nothing makes really great money and it takes patience and a good bit of time mining but it will raise your skill a good bit early on and at the very least you should be able to make your money back which is the important thing when just raising skill. |
