I started my career as a smith last night. I made 27 combines of skewers, and my skill went from 21 (I put every last training point I could in there) all the way up to 37. That was a nice run. I just wish it would continue like that.

Well, my smithing career continues. I worked my skill up from 35 all the way to 156 over the last two days. My total cost was about 1300pp. I found the guides on the "Learn a Skill" section of the boards very useful. I made skewers until 38, then dairy spoons til 74 and banded until 115. At 115, I was kind of stuck. I didn't want to start making a bazillion rings in order to make ornate. Then I saw a little note at the bottom of one of the guides that said check your cultural smithing to see if that's better for you. I'm a wood elf, and Fier'Dal Fletching kits trivial at 163, and all the components are purchasable. So I did that instead. My success rate was surprisingly high for those combines. I must have succeeded at like 50% of them. I would have expected a much lower rate.
My STR was at 228 for the first day (I had some high level buff to take it that high) and 193 for the rest of the time. Skill ups came at a pretty good clip.
Now that makes 5 trades over 100. I'm working on 700, but I really dread tailoring.
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone.
