| Re: smithing san d' oria vs. bastok After spending some time in both, I will say that Sandy is a better place to level smithing, for a number of reasons.
First, you have easy access to Leathercraft and Woodworking guilds.
Second, you have easy access to fire crystals.
Third, there are some quirks to the Sandy economy that make it a more profitable venue for selling several lowbie Smithing wares.
Having said that, anyone who is trying to make money while leveling their Craft, and willing to give some patience in order to accomplish that, will need to frequently travel between all major cities anyway, so the question becomes somewhat moot imo. |
