Mojo's Smithing Tutorial
The Basics
To start off I advise any new players to see the tutorials on the main page.
First off, Use a forge, they are the best to smith with. Ovens are for cooking and fires are for clay. WARNING - Forges need alot of fuel.
Always check your forge by examining it and seeing how much fuel it has left. nymore than 20kg of fuel is wasted.
To start off you should improve your forge, try and get it to about 20 Quality if not more. you will need stone chisel and rock shards to improve your forge. Why should you improve your forge? well to heat things up quicker, and to keep the fire going longer.
Try and have as many different lump quality ranges as you can get. 0-10ql is Best for making things with. When improving you should try to use a lump that is 15-20ql higher than the item you are improving. So that way, it will improve alot instead of alittle.
If you fail at anything you make, dont worry, its reusable, keep it in your inventory until it is searing hot or less then you can put it back in the forge.
WARNING - Don't put the scraps in when they are glowing hot, they will be destoryed.
Improving Tips:
Another good tip is to have a barrel of water nearby, preferably next to the forge. With that, you can temper things fast and put them back into the forge.
When improving alot of things at once, get a lump and start improving them, use the same lump throughout. You should improve them untill you cant improve them with lumps anymore. Once done with that, put the lump back and imp them all back to needing lump again. Lumps need to be glowing hot to improve items with, so its a good idea to put them back when you are done with them. Its a good idea to always have 2 or more lumps for improving so that if one cools, you have another.
Blacksmithing is the most important smithing skill, followed by weapon smithing. This will cover all your tools and allows you to work faster and better. Black is more important because your hammer and anvils use this and these tools need to be good to make the other smithing skills easier. The better the quality of your tools, the more chance you have to succeed at imping. If your tool is significantly lower quality than the tool you are imping (say 30 points lower), your chance to improve the item is very slim. You will most likely end up lowering the quality of the item though fails & repairs. If you want to train a particular smithing skill, the best way is to make 20 of a small item that uses this skill, then imp them all to 5, then 10, then 15, etc. Reasons: 1)Having a large number of tools to imp allows you to gain skill faster with relation to the following reasons 2)Making the item a small one means that you will use less lump on them. 3)There is a 'magic' point at which you gain skill fastest, so by hitting this point with many items at once makes your skill jump fastest. By the time you have gone through this 'magic' point in all the items, the magic point has moved ahead of you again and you get to hit it all over again. Use a cauldron to keep lumps/chains/small tools in & you are able to keep more than 100 items in your forge.
