New smithing guide ready

[Craftah]

Very, very nice!

(Page 30) Having a caster put a strength buff or a Spirit of Wolf spell can help you immeasurably (although foot speed spells and items do not work indoors).

The above should be "foot speed spells and items have to be cast outdoors, so if it runs out you will have to go outdoors to cast it again" or something like that.

(Page 53) Progressive Vah Shir smithing quest (details starting on page 39)

Page 39 doesn't mention the Progressive Vah Shir smithing quest.

(Page 71) Depending on your situation, you may need to donate for this service, which will add cost to the finished product. fdsf

I think the 'fdsf' is a typo.

Cultural notes: Blood of all types drops in the new LoY zones quite often, you might want to add that to the guide.

I have read it and all I have to say is WOW. 70+ pages or not... Its complete and very extensive. I would say a must read for anyone wanting to go into smithing or already smithing.

(I wrote out a huge post but somehow it got all erased.. this is a more abbreviated version)
Wow, thank you for this guide it is truely awesome a few problems i noticed though
page 69
in the second paragraph it says "An human worshipping.." it seems it would be "A human worshipping.." instead.
Mithaniel is misspelled as MithRaniel
(Froglok) shaman of mithaniel marr can imbue diamonds as well
To my knowlege erudite clerics of cazic-thule can imbue amber, thats also missing from the chart
page 62
in the /ooc hint: the last part of it says "One hint: if the ENTIRE zone is dominated by a single type of mob, the war is impossible to trigger. In that case, your only recourse is to petition a GM to have the zone reset.
they changed the hollowshade war recently so that you can reset the zone by killing the boss that spawns at the vah shir outpost, you'll probably want to change/add that.
thanks again for this wonderful guide!

Is the link broken to the smithing guide? Everytime I try going to it, it can't find it.

edit: Actually, crimsonsnow.org is no longer there, period. Did you move the guides to another location, Zeralenn?

Updated cost efficiencies?

Zera, first off let me say that this is a professional-quality document. Extremely well done, quite readable, and easy to follow. I bow before your curriculum development skills.

That being said, do you intend to modify the cost efficiency comparisons on Fine Steel conversions given the results of the recent patch? That was some brilliant work, and I think we're going to find a lot more Fine Steel is now more efficient to melt down.

Thanks,
C (still using guide to work that smithing up - currently gathering supplies for humming orbs (which I pass on to the guild smith as I have no space).

Version 4.0 was just posted today.

I have not reworked the fine steel section; that will require some rather extensive research and I haven't had time to do it. There were several other things I wanted to try to get up and finished in a short period of time so that will have to wait until Edition 5.
