Smithing and Player Level

[Kronack]

Can someone please help me out with some correct information.

Is there a Skill Level vs. Character Level cap on Smithing tradeskill?

Example, lvl 1 Troll Smith with a skill of 250 in Smithing.

I tried asking this question in the Bazaar one day and pretty much started a zone Bar-Room Brawl. Lots of shouting and name calling by the players that gave me conflicting answers.

I apologize for my previous post about needing a smith for an item. I have read the post requirements, I just had a short term memory lapse.

The only tradeskill which has a level cap is alchemy.

It is perfectly possible to be a level 1 grandmaster smith.

Anyone can get to 250 in a tradeskill no matter what level you are. However, all other tradeskills will be capped at 200. You must be 51 or above and have 3 AA points to spend on New Tanaan Crafting Mastery to get an additional tradeskill over 200.

Hope that helps!

While the normal 5 trade skills are not level capped, the race/class tradeskills are level capped to some extent. A gnome cannot get any skill increases in tinkering(above the 50 they are born with) until lvl 17. At level 17 they an get to 250. A rogue can't start poison making until 18 or 19, i forget which, and it is level capped. Alchemy is also level capped and can not be started until a certain level, i don't remember the level but its around 30 iirc.

The non-tradeskill tradeskills (Foraging, Fishing, Begging, Alcohol Tolerance) are also level capped.

The big 7 (Pottery, Smithing, Fletching, Tailoring, Brewing, Baking, Jewelcraft) are not capped. A level 1 can theoretically be 250 in one of these and 200 in the other 6.

Are you sure about fishing? If the standard level capping as applied to weapon/defense caps applied (5*(level+1)) then at level 7, my smith would be capped at 40, yet I believe he's in his 60's at fishing.. (I'll have to check)

When I did fishing it was level capped. I started almost 3 years ago at level 1 with my first char for cash, so it is possible it has changed since, but I remember no mention of it in any patch.
