Fast-Leveling Smithing

[swordspider]

Want to craft some kick-a$$ armor early? Want to just level up quickly too? Here's an easy, inexpensive trick to help you do that (I suppose this could be considered a spoiler or exploit even though it is perfectly legal within the bounds of the game, especially since it does take money to do):

 

1. Buy all the Iron Ignots and Leather Straps you come across at smiths.

 

2. Craft all Iron Daggers. (Uses one of each of those above and is the cheapest item to craft).

 

3. Viola! Cheap, easy smith leveling.

 

Here is what I have observed:

 

Levels 15-30, 1-3 daggers will level your skill up!

Levels 31-60, 3-5 daggers will level your skill up!

 

ENJOY!

Thanks for the tip, going to do this when I get home.

I'd like to point out that this is a terrible idea. My brother did it right from the start. Sure, he got the ability to make awesome gear, but his combat skills were so low, and scaled enemies so tough by the end, he had to restart or get roflpwnd every time he entered a dungeon.

Well he took it way too far then. Everything in moderation. I got myself up the modifying Orcish Armor and I had no problems with enemies. My level was at 22, 1-handed w/shield and pwned everything.
