| Lilchunsanim, I'm not making any remarks about smithing after 73 until I've done it myself. I should be able to start smithing again soon, I hope. Leather 60 first, then . . .
Calladen, I avoided gladii because they require bonecrafting, and I did not have sufficient bonecrafting skill at the time to make them. You can try them if you like. You will flood the market, though, and those sale prices of 5-7k per sword WILL drop.
Iron scales aren't worth much, yes, but you won't take much of a loss if you get all your ingots from cheap ore or goblin gear(or other sources).
26-30 blacksmithing is messy. I "got lucky" by making some iron chains until 29 and then selling them all at a fair price. I mostly broke even. At 29, I switched to steel sheets, and that was great back then, but nowadays, steel sheets are very expensive to make.
Nemes, darksteel sheets are best sold in Jeuno. Sales on them are sporadic, but they do sell. |
