what is a quick way to get your smithing skill up? also my friend had a 203 smithing skill is that enough to make fierce heraldic armor? and where can i find recipes for it. items that are droped zones to find and all that other stuff thanks for your help =)

Go to the actual site, www.eqtraders.com

Human cultural smithing is listed under Recipes => Cultural => Humans. Heraldic is under Qeynos forge if I remember correctly.

Once you have browsed the site some, come back and see which questions you still have.

what kinda gem do i use for rallos zek for a warrior? and were do i get the rings enchanter jointing royal temper and leather padding?

It's all listed on the main site, under cultural recipes, http://www.eqtraders.com/secrets/rec...man_qeynos.htmHuman--Qeynos</a>. <img src=http://www.boomspeed.com/sinuuyanea/dcrazz.gif alt="What, do you want someone else to make it for you, too?">

And, this really should be in the smithing forum...

203 skill MIGHT yield you some armor, but the odds are against you. At 233 raw skill plus a geerlok, I succeed at about a 40% rate. Since your friends skill is 30 points below that, Your success rate should be somewhere just under 10%. Of course, this is assuming that 203 in his RAW skill, AND that he uses a Geerlok.

If thats acceptable to you, go for it.

There isn't one.

Next question...

Seriously, get your STR, INT, or WIS as high as it will go. Get to 188 through normal methods. Farm plat til your fingers fall off. Save half a million plat. Make mistletoe cutting sickles til you want to scream with rage and frustration.

And yes, that is my SERIOUS answer.

I'm about 1 in 10 of tier'dal at 201 skill with geerlok. If you have a 49 enchanter on call and plat to burn, you can brute force it.

If his friend is a Human smith (and he has to be, if he wants to make the Heraldic armors), then he has an alternative: Imbued Field Plate.

Farm (or purchase in the Bazaar):
(Note: assuming he wants to skill up to 242, with a skillup rate of about 25 attempts per skill, I give the amount he will need, expectedly, to get to 242, including a 5% fail rate on trivial combines)
- Mugs of Seafoam (2050)
- Saltwater Seaweed (1025)
- Leather Paddings (1025)
- Imbued Gem (one of the ones that is usable for Imbued Field Plate armor, I would suggest Star Rose Quartz; 1025)
- Folded Sheets of HQ Ore (1811; assuming 1-sheet to 222, 2-sheet to 232 and 3-sheet to 242)

Enjoy smithing ...

25 combines per skillup. Man, I wish.

At 233 skill, I average about 40 combines per skillup, IF i omit my worst hell point. if I add that in, its more like 50 per.

[Zeralenn]

Well, human cultural IS arguably the very best cultural to skill up on.

I just happen not to be human.

I hear others who have a bad skillup rate as well ... I wonder why my skillup sessions are yielding more? Just today I did 70 attempts, which gained me another 3 points of skill. When I smith, I have 265 WIS these days, but that has been only recently. I think the skill up to 215 has been at 255 WIS, and to 222-ish at 260 WIS. My STR is insignificant during skillup sessions, just around 115-125 or so.

Edit: I haven't encountered any walls so far either ... 223 seemed worst, but it took only about 50-60 combines in all. Nothing anywhere near 100+ let alone 200+ ....

Mine are still about 1 skillup for every 20 combines, fairly spaced out (wisdom at 255 for most). I thought that was fairly average overall, though I am probably fortunate so far to have no really long dry spells.

Quickest Way to get smithing up???

Level to 65, join a raiding guild...get XTC's Hammer of the Ironfrost, do normal skill up route and then do the ethereal rings with a little bit of shadowscream.

Anything else is wasting my time :twisted:
