Added the weaponsmithing guide by Vean. Thank you Vean =)
Mining [[rock shards]] is easier for a new player up to a decent skill level (20 -30?) but from then on if you want to grind [[mining]] I would suggest mining on an [[ore]] [[vein]]. At around 30 skill, [[mining]] [[iron]] may be the best option for you, but as you get up to around 40 or even 50 in mining, you should mine [[Gold]] or [[Silver]]. I would not recommend you start off mining on gold or silver because you are very unlikely to get any ore above ql 1.00 (Mining a ql 1.00 ore/shard gives no skillgain whatsoever)
 
==Weaponsmithing==
 
Do not care about Blades smithing and Weapon heads smithing skills, that skills you will get while making actual weapons over time. Best item to skill weaponsmithing to 40 are butchering knives, imping butchering knife takes only 0,02kg of iron. First make yourself about 150-200 butchering knife blades, don't care about failures, it will pass over time. Finnish unfinished ones, do not imp blades it's a waste of time. For making blades use 1-20ql iron, anything over will be a waste. When you will make 150-200 blades also make same amount of wooden handles. Make first batch of butchering knives, use about half blades for making knives, finnish unfinished butchering knives, set youself a target ql (your actual skill in weapon smithing + 8-10 points. For example, having 10 weaponsmithing you will be able to make weapons with quality about 20). Improve all butchering knives you got to your target quality. After improving all butchering knives to certain ql you can check your skill again, set new target quality level, and proceed with improving them like 3 times. After improving all the butchering knives 3 times you should make another batch of butchering knives from the rest of the blades and wooden handles. You should notice a significant difference in success rate between two batches. Improve the second batch of butchering knives to average quality of the first batch. Then keep improving knives as your skill grows. after you gain about 30 skill in ws start thinking about making other weapons, be sure to have planty of handles
 
More tips:
 
While you're Vynora follower be sure to have altar of Vynora nearby, it's highly possible that you get 10% more skill gain. Common sense...
 
Use sleep bonus, after login light forge and logout, log in back when stuff in forge will be glowing from heat (for 50ql forge it takes about 10-20 minutes, ql dependent factor)
 
For improving try using lumps/tools with ql at most 20ql higher than improved item!
 
Coc/woa tools might also be a nice boost for your skilling curve...
