I have no clue what to push past 200 first, tailoring or smithing. When I first started this odyssey, I had a dream of garbing my Barbarian Smith in Artificer Chainmail. I knew that I'd have to work long and hard to reach level 45. I had no clue about reaching 250 in smithing.
Then one day I discovered the wonderful world of Acrylia. Acrylia studded sounded so cool, Arctic Wyvern even cooler. So I learned about tailoring. I had more realistic knowledge about tradeskills. I leveled to get to TM to gather the precious ore, hoarded silks and platinum to buy components for skillups, and spent time creating a pocket enchanter for easy mana vials.
Now I have almost reached that age old goal to reach level 45. I had almost forgotten about it in all the excitement and wonder of vendor mining, checking the computer in the middle of the night to see if I had sold anything, combining dead things together, and posting to this board.
But now that itch is back. "Wouldn't it be cool to have Artificer Armor of your own," a little voice in my head whispers. "It's so much easier to GM smithing with Shadowscream," it tells me.
"But what about all of the arctic hides and acrylia? The runs to Gunthak to get ribbon," I ask it. "The cool tailored armors that I planned to make for my druid and beastlord?"
The response is silence.........nothing.....not a clue as to what to do. My anguish is this; In which skill do I GM first? I'm getting close with the tailoring but I have started socking away shrieking substances. I downloaded The Economical Guide to Smithing. I could push my smithing back up past my tailoring in a few weeks of steady work.
So, if you have followed this long post all the way to the end, maybe you could give me some advice, guidance or just a kick in the butt. Thanks for the feedback.

Sounds dismal, doesn't it? Well, it's not.
