Blacksmithing!

  * Intiro (Dark Elf) 300 Smith 12% Mod, all salvage all Smithing AA's purchased.
  *Jeckyll (Barbarian) - 300 smith

OK so we know that Jeckell is a 300 Barb ... But how did you get there?

I worked with Taala to get started on smithing and this is basically what I did: (From memory)

- Went to my home town and completed a quest for a book used to make patterns (note: haven't used it yet)
- Went to the entrance to the library and from two vendors bought some books and scrolls that dealt with smithing recipies. 
 - You actually scribe these books. (Keep note of what you scribed so you don't buy it again)
- After scribing I went to the GH and open the forge.
- Now I was already at 80 or so in smithing from doing a lot of fletching
- I searched for "templates" and found Iridium Templates
- I selected the Iridium Plate Gauntlets (These only require one ore and triv at 127)
- Basically you combine till you hit 127 then either move to a harder item that uses Iridium or go to the next ore type.
- Every so often go back and check to see if you can aquire a new book with more recipes
- Also if you find a recipe that you like but cant search for do this:
  - Click on the Forge then click "Experiment". The forge will collapse into the old lookng forge.
  - Drop in (unstacked) the items from your recipe (like from eqtraders et et)
  - Hit combine. Once you sucessfully make one item close the forge.
    - Open the forge again, now type the name of the item you just created and click search. 
      - It will show up under Known Matching Recipes.
    - click on it and select "Add" under Favorite Recipes. Now you can just click combine and auto-inventory

Ore / reagent - Ore is drop, the reagent is from vendors
- Iridium / nitrous coal
- Fulginate / Dull Black coal
- Indium / Dark brown coal
- Rubicite / Brown Nitrous coal

Best Places to gather Ore

- Fulginate - Twilite Sea, NW corner (Have to swim through the underwater tunnel)great drop rate
 ~ also good drop rate in Old Sebilis
- Rubicite - Old Sebilis
- Indium and Rhenium - PoN Hobgoblins / Greigs End has been pretty good at these two and a little Rubicite

To make a bracer (Cheapest thing)

- Buy
 - Plate bracer mold (stackable to 5)
 - Metal tempering (Vendor)
 - reagent (listed above for what I have used so far, though some 
 -   are way high for me if I get ore to drop I use it
 - Smithy hammer (Vendor, returned on failure)
- Combine Ore with matching reagent from above 

Now save me ore. Psyzing
