Get your last two points from Fine Plate BP's first (trivials at 188).

Then try checking out some of the posts on the next few pages of this board.... lots of similar posts to yours ALL the time.

As for skill ups.. cruise the bazaar and buy some real cheap wis gear.

Or buff your STR to 255 or greater as smithing skill-ups come from the higher of WIS or STR.

I find Primal avatar to be a handy tradeskill buff $$

Get your wis as high as possible, 255 at least. Skilling up past the 180's, you need every advantage you can get.
