Amen to that. lol. :spin: I am even considering buying a new computer to play this game. I probably won't though since you need a nice computer to play it.

anyone know where to log for lauan lumber?i wanna make a workbench for craft advancement... and i like to chop all my own materials ^^

I'm at lvl 7 in Blacksmithing and lvl 3 in Goldsmithing right now. My next logical step would be to go to Sandoria and start working on my logging, because I want to make items that combine Smithing and Carpenting.

I've heard that there's a Blacksmithing guild in San Doria, but aren't there any mines not too far from there? I would think that there should be some, if the San dorians have a Blacksmithing guild...(?)

[Kensai]

There is a blacksmithing guide but I imagine that it is crappy because the guild master told me to go to the Bastok guild to learn anything. As far as I know, there are no mines nearby but I am only level 16 so it may be easier to get to one for you.


BTW, are there any tips for raisiing blacksmith levels early on? I have just been making bronze ingots (or copper?) from 3 copper ore and 1 tin.

You don't need a supper expensive computer. Check this thread, it will run this game at over the recomended specs, and is less than $600!

And to raise you Bsmith skills, just go to the blacksith guild store in Bastok Metalworks and keep buying 4 copper ores for like 9gil or however much it is, and make copper ingots

4 copper ore + fre crystal

that should work for a few lvls

good luck

hell i do that all the time

i get the feeling that if i move in the same direction as my weapon is going that one hit, it hits more often. probly just my imagination but everyone has something like that.

For the record, the recipe with 4 copper ores and a Fire Crystal (Copper Ingot) raises Goldsmithing skills, as opposed to Blacksmitthing skills.

An appropriate recipe would be 3 copper and 1 tin + Fire for a Bronze Ingot, if you want to get better as a Blacksmith. You can than try Bronze Ingot + Fire to get a Bronze Sheet when you get to lvl 2. When you get to lvl 6, you can make bronze scales with Bronze Sheet + Wind. That's the cheapest way to raise your BlckSmth lvl up to 10 without even needing other skills yet.

Yhuggot Grotto is the best mining spot in sandoria, but Iwouldn't recommend going in there till level 20. and even then, stay toward teh etnrance. you'll only find good mining spots when your level 28ish and not getting any aggros.

Also, Carpentry sucks ass compared to goldsmith, goldsmith gets much more money. Just thought i'd tell ya

not too quote to much or anything...but blacksmith is the worst to get to level up for smithing, goldsmith is so much cheaper.. Bronze ingots 1,5k a stack compared to copper at 3k

Then Brass at skill 4, 7k a stack

this is all in rag btw heheh

[Trell]

I was just suggesting what to do to raise Bsmithing, not debating which craft is cheaper, but I think you knew that.

I'm quite suprised at those price quotes. The knee-jerk reaction to Goldsmithing is gawking at how expensive the materials are, but I never thought about how much your synthsized items can bring in... I might look into Goldsmithing after all, hehe. I'm lvl 10 Carpenting and lvl 8 Bsmithing for now.

Yeah, the price jump for the materials needed to go from copper to brass is expensive when you buy from AH, but you can get zinc and even silver from stone eaters in gustaberg, having a THF15+ would increase the chances. I get zinc 1/5 and silver 1/10 or so. The only time it gets expensive is when yoru too lazy to get your own materials.

But overall, BSmith and GSmith both have their advantages, goldsmith more in jewelry, blacksmith more in armors. Just depends what you want to make and what you can get at the time.
