Blacksmithing kinda stuck at 11

[Arien20]

Allright.. i was told aspis shields are the way to go here, but they sell to the npc for 283, and dont sell at AH well. Materials are also expensive... is there anything else i can do to lvl it past 11 ?

Aspi are not the way to go at 11.

If you want fast go with Tin Ingots until 15.

Tin Ore x4 + Fire Crystal

Then do Aspis until 18 or so and jump into Iron after that.

Also, check the sellback to the Guild in San d'Oria. I believe it can get as high as 450gil per.

Good Luck
