Dwarven Cultural Smithing Question

[Arncuss]

I am at 188 smithing now and I would like to continue my smithing. I have lots of cash to spend (around 300k).

1. What do you think the best route would be?

2. If i go to Dwarven Cultural Smithing I can make Enchanted Dwarven Plate up to 215 but that requires Earthen Tempers. I am a 195 Brewer but Is the temper a component that i need with Every combine or do you get it back?

3. If i am required to make LOTS of Earthen Tempers where is the best place to pharm the Lava Rocks and Drops of Mercury?

Im sure some of you will be helpful in my inquiries. Thanks for your time.

..

answer for 2 is yes , 1 temper per combine and lose it no matter what...for 3 Twilight Sea elemental island is good for lava rocks, i never got squat for drops of mercury, but other than here, the hole and Steamfont by mino caves are 2 other spots (for drops)

1. With 300k to spend, I would suggest you have a good look at Mistletoe Cutting Sickles. There are a few, very informative, posts on this section of the board. Or make the Imbued Dwarven, you only need to imbue the Ruby (131pp) and of course have a temper. Both options are costly

2. Already answered.

3. Lava Rocks, for me, I would say Twilight Sea. For the Mercury, I have heard that the Hole is the best spot. Or do you know a 200+ poison skill rogue, I believe they can make them for you. Do note with the Enchanted stuff you will need access to a 49 enchanter to enchant all the metals.

You will need alot of Tempers if you go the Dwarven route, one thousand attempts spring to mind.

As an additional note, always watch for windstones so you can do the odd Acrylia combines, although as everyone knows windstones are not cheap either.

I have found mercury to be common in Najena.
