http://eqrecipes.free.fr/ - You must learn 1005 of 1139 recipes to reach 350 Smithing You're unlikely to reach that exact point but that's the effective starting point of every book scribed with 300 Smithing, you could for instance reach that point by making Tungsten Chain Bracer Template to go from 0-300, most likely you will learn a dozen or so recipes at least. The most important early recipe is Forged Velium Shuriken, the only recipe you learn while making an Apprentice Smith Trophy but you might prefer making a higher version of the trophy or most likely because you have a 15% Smithing mod item might not ever make a trophy. The largest point of divergence is whether or not you're willing to make 78 Conflagrant items (63 pieces of armor, 2 armor sub-combines and 13 weapons), if you want to make no or few Conflagrant items you will remove most of your flexibility. At low levels you have the following farming options to skill up Smithing or to profit from people who do, suggested zone listed, some items drop in many zones, eqtraders and zam are excellent resources for additional information: 14 Flame Agate: random drop from low level mobs that most probably assume is used in JC and is vendor sold and it's neither of those things. It takes a minimum of 56 to learn all the Forged Firebrand weapon recipes. 73 Acrylia: Acrylia Caverns, only non-vendor item for Acrylia (Small/Large) Plate/Chain items, Steel Alloy Rod and also used in 14 Combine Acrylia weapons 14 Brick of Black Acrylia: Grimling Forest also requires Essence of Darkness and Akheva Blood from Maiden's Eye to make Black Acrylia weapons 14 Windstone and Essence of Wind: Twilight Sea along with Acrylia for Combine Acrylia weapons 3 Chunk of Condensed Flame, Ice and Shadow: various Luclin zones including those, for Smithing each makes an Arrowhead 12 Velium: Velious, best option changes as you level, keep in mind that you can crush Velium weapons, Forged Velium weapons, Enchanted Velium Bits and Spool 72 Rujark LDoN: Goblin Bones/Bone Temper for Calcified (Small/Large) Steel/Ring items 72 Guk LDoN: Pondweed/Swamp Temper for Deep Cavern (Small/Large) Steel/Ring items 72 Miragul LDoN: Ice Lichen/Lichen Temper for Frosted (Small/Large) Steel/Ring items 72 Mistmoore LDoN: Gargoyle Granite/Granite Temper for Gothic (Small/Large) Steel/Ring items 72 Takish LDoN: Sand Verbena/Sand Temper for Sandblasted (Small/Large) Steel/Ring items - Miragul LDoN is also one of the sources for Permafrost Crystals/Permafrost Extract/Blue Dye but base Permafrost is likely best - Guk LDoN is also one of the sources for Sarcoscypha Fungus/Sarcoscypha Extract/Red Dye but ground spawns in Lesser Faydark are likely best 16 Undifferentiated Ore: Cobalt, Fulginate, Indium, Iridium, Iron, Osmium, Palladium, Rhenium, Rubicite, Silvril, Tantalum, Thalium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Vanadium 14 Dyes and Undif Ore are used to make Violet Hero's Forge Plate/Chain Ornaments 22 Sunshard Dust: for Smithing is only dropped component for 7 Crude Energeiac Plate, 7 Worked Energeiac Chain and 8 Dull Energeiac weapons 22 Sunshard Pebble: for Smithing is only dropped component for 7 Tempered Energeiac Plate, 7 Beaten Energeiac Chain and 8 Shining Energeiac weapons 22 Sunshard Ore: for Smithing is only dropped component for 7 Polished Energeiac Plate, 7 Linked Energeiac Chain and 8 Shining Energeiac weapons The following require little to no farming to learn recipes, if you use the items in the next two lines to skill up it then requires considerable farming: 24 Barbs, Fill and Studs: Thalium (62 trivial), Fulginate (112), Rhenium (184), Cobalt (222), Titanium (242), Tantalum (255), Vanadium (268), Osmium (282) Alliance Sword (322): requires Palladium and Scorched Ore 7 Cosgrove xxxx Seal: Vanadium Ore 7 Phantasmic xxxx Seal: Osmium Ore 7 Veiled

Metal Gears This leaves 206 recipes and you need to learn 72 of these recipes if you learned every Conflag recipe to 150 if you didn't learn any: If you are a Karana Worshipper you get 4: Steel Arrowheads, Arrowshafts, Fletch and Working Knife If you raid in RoS you probably get 1: Combine Enamel Kit If you do the Shawl you get 1: Brell's Heart Silver Filigree If you do EoK quest Methods of Sarnak Destruction you get 1: Mana of the Sarnak Compressor If you do Earring of Solstice you get 1: Mistletoe Cutting Sickle The remaining oddballs: 3 Battle Cam Parts: quite possibly easy recipes, but I didn't check out Devastation to find out Drunder's Steel: requires Decorin Ore Shard off an add from Tagrin Maldric in PoTactics, may be easy to obtain, I didn't check it out Last Blood Seal (Last Blood Steel): rare drop from a place (DSK) you likely have little reason to visit Poxysmit's Hole Punch: requires Scrindite's Senescent Scribbles from Belfast in Corathus, seems like too much bother for 1 recipe 30 recipes require Bazu Blood, it's a reasonably common drop, I couldn't figure out a place that Bazu were common, going by Zam there are no Bazu in the Precipice of War mission, maybe there is a good spot in Korafax You could at least pick at the recipes, assuming no failures for 1 Bazu Blood and 1 Pyrilen Flame you get 2 recipes. 4 of each for 2 recipes might not seem like a good idea even if 1 of each does 30 recipes: Vah Shir Smithing from Master Barkhem in Shar Vhal, leads to Bloodling Plate and Humming Orb related recipes, could be quick, I didn't check it out 10 recipes require Lightning Core(s), it's about a 1 in 250 drop from Lightning Warriors in MPG, if you get any while looting Magnetized items or Epic Orbs you can make a recipe or sell it 7 Tae Ew Chain: this should actually be in the easy recipes but I decided to group all Tae Ew together, takes 14 Tae Ew Blood Vials with no failures 7 Tae Ew Plate: 32 Pristine Tae Ew Scales, 7 each Tae Ew Blood Vial, Froglok Blood, Iksar Blood and Sarnak Blood if no failures, I got the Chain done and had 1 Pristine Scale and didn't go back to Cazic Thule 4 Tae Ew Dagger, Longsword, Shield, Two Hand Sword: 1 of each Blood per item 2 Tae Ew Mace, Two Hand Hammer: 1 of each Blood and Swampwood Stave The rest is PoP, if you're also going to do Brewing which requires all but 19 recipes you are most likely going to make the 6 Tempers so do that now and have 1 shot at each Sheet (makes 2) for Plate armor: Sheet of E'cian Ice (PoWater): Povarian Mist Temper which is Shimmering Fish Gills (Sharks), Soapstone Powder (Hraqui) and Water Mephit Blood (Triloun) Sheet of Electrified Copper (BoT/Storms): Hurricane Temper which is Drop of Pure Rain (BoT Water), Powdered Sandstorm Pearl (BoT Fire), Storm Rider Blood - this is the only PoP ore you will ever specifically farm, every other Ore you have way more than you will ever need just by looting Temper ingredients, Rain is the bottleneck Sheet of Immaculate Steel (PoEarth): Liquid Stone Temper which is Earth Mephit Blood, Liquefied Earth (Mudwalker event and near it), Powdered Granite (Peregrin event and near it) Sheet of Molten Ore (PoFire): Liquid Inferno Temper which is Fire Mephit Blood, Metallic Substance (common), Powdered Magma Crystals (Fire Elementals) - probably the easiest zone just because of the volume of mobs assuming you are high enough level that repop is an issue in other zones Sheet of Nightmare Iron (PoN): Night Terror Temper which is Fetid Slime (Slarghilug), Nightmare Mephit Blood, Powdered Midnight Stone (Caves) - Midnight Stones are rare which is only somewhat offset by the large volume of mobs in the caves Sheet of Wind Metal (PoAir): Flowing Rainbow Temper which is Air Mephit Blood, Gaseous Condensate, Powdered Fog (last two from Air Elementals) 6 Rings (Scales for PoWater) same Temper also makes 2 for Chain armor 6 Studs same Temper and also makes 2 for Leather armor (Tailoring) 84 pieces of PoP Armor, Wrists indirectly require a total of 1.5 Tempers, 2.5 each for BP and Legs, 2 for each of the other slots, everything except Temper is really trivial Leather (Tailoring) requires 1 Temper for Wrist, 1.5 each for Hat and Arms, 2 each for Boots, Gloves and Legs and 2.5 for BP. Cloth (Tailoring) is a separate Temper and 1 for each piece: PoWater: Waterweave Curing Agent: Slarghilug Slime(3) (Hraqui) overlap BoT/Storms: Stormweave Curing Agent: Storm Ent Sap(3) (Storms Trees) don't or rarely drop Bricks PoEarth: Earthweave Curing Agent: Stonewood Sap(3) (Trees) no cluster of them so try to mix some in while killing other mob types PoFire: Firestrand Curing Agent: Obsidianwood Sap(3) (Spiders) overlap PoN: Night Terror Curing Agent: Nightmarewood Sap(3) (Trees) so rare it's impractical to even obtain the Brewing recipe PoAir: Airstrand Curing Agent: Featherwood Sap(3) (Spiders) quite annoying, it's possible that failing the Ring Event would repop them faster but I didn't try
Thank god for conflagrant. Can use that to skip a lot of painful farming. Same on tailoring. 100+ hynid blood no thank you skipped.
http://eqrecipes.free.fr/ - You must learn 578 of 707 recipes to reach 350 Tailoring You're unlikely to reach that exact point but that's the effective starting point of every book scribed with 300 Tailoring, you could for instance reach that point by making Excellent Silk Glove Template to go from 0-300, most likely you will learn a dozen or so recipes at least. To make Apprentice Tailor Trophy you need to learn 5 recipes: Crystalline Silk Collar, Crystalline Silk Sash, Shade Silk Mantle, Tailored Large Bag (either version) and Wu's Fighting Gauntlets. Raw-hide Gorget is the most annoying thing to farm for the Trophy (Leather Gorget, recipe already known), in the northern part of South Ro at the edge of a lake are a bunch of Orcs that respawn really fast and can drop the Gorget, the issue is that it's 1 in x to even drop Raw-hide and then 1 in 12 that it's a Gorget. Tiamon Aroo in Shadeweaver's Thicket has 10 Claw Needles when the server comes up, this could be important to you later. It's possible to use 12 (low trivials, failure is quite unlikely) but even using 10 is a considerable time investment. If you're often around when the servers come up you can buy out his stock just to be prepared, greedy and/or annoying. For starters you have a bunch of easy recipes that lack (specific) synergy with other Tailoring recipes: 4 Simple xxxx: GoD Freebie Tailoring: Tonlyei's Chores - or Tailor Nabirye in CR if you don't care about refining (Preserved) Muramite Etched Scales 4 Wayfarer xxxx: Garald Samer, also refining (Preserved) Aged Muramite Etched Scales - any of the 3 get you to 54 Tailoring 8 xxxx Hilt Wrap: Sullied (62 trivial), Rough (112), Fine (184), Superb (222), Flawless (242), Exquisite (255), Immaculate (268), Fantastic (282) Fine Fur Cloaks (335): 2 Exotic Animal Pelt Tooled Leather Purse (335): Exotic Animal Pelt Exquisite Silken Garments (348): 6 Spider Silk 7 Cosgrove xxxx Seal: Immaculate Silk 7 Phantasmic xxxx Seal: Fantastic Silk 7 Veiled xxxx Seal: Exotic Silk 7 Fearlinked xxxx Seal: Befouled Silk 2 Bazu Seal: Magnificent Hide and Superb Animal Pelt 2 Discordant Seal: Excellent Animal Pelt and Mottled Hide 2 Chronal Seal: Excellent Animal Pelt and Shimmering Silk Last Blood Seal: Superb Animal Pelt Serpent's Seal: Flawless Animal Pelt Sunshard Seal: Flawless Animal Pelt Faycite Seal: Exquisite Animal Pelt 12 Crystalline Silk xxxx - Velk's Lab Crystalline Silk 14 Sunshard Dust: for Tailoring is only dropped component for 7 Rough Energeiac Leather and 7 Pressed Energeiac Cloth 14 Sunshard Pebble: for Tailoring is only dropped component for 7 Sculpted Energeiac Leather and 7 Stitched Energeiac Cloth 14 Sunshard Ore: for Tailoring is only dropped component for 7 Fitted Energeiac Leather and 7 Spun Energeiac Cloth Next up is Dyes, there are many sources for Dyes along with Bazaar, you need minimum 20 for Red and Blue, min 4 for Black, Brown Rust, Dark Blue, Green, Light Blue, Light Gray (last two for Purple), Light Yellow (White), Red Rust (Orange) and Yellow and min 1 Dark Green 16 Cured Raw Silk: Coarse, Crude, Excellent, Exotic, Exquisite, Fantastic, Fine, Flawless, Immaculate, Natural, Pristine, Rough, Sullied, Superb, Tacky, Thick 16 Stripped Pelt: Crude, Excellent, Exotic, Exquisite, Fantastic, Fine, Flawed, Flawless, Immaculate, Mangled, Pristine, Rough, Ruined, Sullied, Superb, Tattered 8 Violet Hero's Forge Cloth xxxx Ornament (2 BPs): Cured Raw Silk, Blue Dye, Red Dye Violet Wizard Hat Ornament: Cured Raw Silk(3), Blue Dye, Red Dye 7 Violet Hero's Forge Leather xxxx Ornament: Stripped Pelt, Blue Dye, Red Dye Next up is Dawnshroud Peaks Rockhoppers and/or Bazaar: - Superb Rockhopper Hide: min 12, all trivials are 188 - Flawless Rockhopper Hide: min 12, all trivials are 242 - you can downgrade High > Medium > Low > Damaged with a Skinning Knife - High Quality Rockhopper Hide: min 22, highest trivial is 135 - Medium Quality Rockhopper Hide: min 1, trivial is 36 - Low Quality Rockhopper Hide: min 1, trivial is 31 - Damaged Hopper Hide: min 13, highest trivial is 36 After all that farming make one recipe: Hand Made Backpack: High Quality Rockhopper Hide - you can also make Leather Padding for Smithing or profit with any Low and by extension Medium and High you are pretty sure will be extra Next stop Acrylia Caverns for Acrylia: 12 Acrylia Studded xxxx: Acrylia, Superb Rockhopper Hide 12 Acrylia Reinforced xxxx: Acrylia, Flawless Rockhopper Hide Now you're ready for Goru`kar Mesa, it's the only zone for some recipes and a great zone for many recipes: Handmade Backpack: High Quality Bear Skin Tailored Large Bag: Low Quality Bear Skin, Spiderling Silk(6) Tailored Large Belt Pouch: Low Quality Cat Pelt, Spiderling Silk(6) Tailored Small Bag: Low Quality Wolf Skin, Spiderling Silk(6) Tailored Wrist Pouch: Ruined Wolf Pelt, Spiderling Silk(6) 12 Wu's Fighting xxxx: Spider Silk(42), Greater Lightstone Folded Medicine Bag: High Quality Bear Skin Folded Reinforced Medicine Bag: Thick Grizzly Bear Skin, Spiderling Silk(6) Tailored Quiver: High Quality Cat Pelt 10 xxxx Hand Made Backpack: Dye(s), High Quality Bear Skin, High Quality Wolf Skin 10 xxxx Hand Made Backpack: Dye(s), High Quality Rockhopper Hide, High Quality Wolf Skin 10 xxxx Trader's Satchel: Dye(s), High Quality Bear Skin, High Quality Cat Pelt 10 xxxx Trader's Satchel: Dye(s), High Quality Cat Pelt, High Quality Rockhopper Hide Spider Silk Thread: Spider Silk(8) Spool of Spider Silk Thread: Spider Silk Thread(3), Recluse Spider Fang Wolf Canine Bead: Wolf Canine Snake Fang Bead: Large Snake Fang String of Teeth: Snake Fang Bead(5), Spider Silk Thread, Wolf Canine Bead(4) Folded Silkfang Pack: Spool of Spider Silk Thread, String of Teeth, Supple Wolf Pelt Forest Green Silk Swatch: Dark Green Dye, Spider Silk(4), Spiderling Silk(4) Shimmering Dryad Dress: Forest Green Silk Swatch, Mesa Recluse Spinneret, Snake Skin(4) Silk Napkin: Spiderling Silk(6) Spider Silk Filter: Mesa Recluse Spinneret, Spider Silk(2) Assuming you make all of those and if you think making some Dyes are too annoying to bother with you'll never reach 350 Tailoring, you're at 324 of 453 recipes needed. The good news is there are still easy recipes left, it's probably easier to count down from 129 recipes if you're making a plan If you are Barbarian, Drakkin, Dwarf, Froglok, Half-Elf, Halfling, Iksar, Ogre, Troll, Vah'Shir or Wood Elf you have 105 recipes you can optionally not make. I'm pretty sure you lose racial recipes on race changes, if not depending on your class you could spend a bunch of DBC to learn some recipes depending on your class. Dark Elves have the choice of 108 recipes not to learn and can make: Robe of Abrogation: Words of Abrogation Robe of Burnishing: Words of Burnishing Robe of Wings: Wing of Xegony Erudites have the choice of 109 recipes not to learn and can make: Robe of Tempest: Rune of Tempest Robe of the Ethereal: Words of the Ethereal Robe of the Inverse: Rune of the Inverse Robe of the Radiant: Radiant Scribed Swatch Gnomes have the choice of 110 recipes not to learn and can make: Robe of Breath: Breath of Ro Robe of Expertise: Words of Expertise Robe of Neglect: Words of Neglect Robe of Tashani: Part of Toharon's Memoir Pg. 15 (right) Robe of the Astral: Rune of the Astral Humans have the choice of 110 recipes not to learn and can make: Robe of Capacity: Words of Capacity Robe of Concussion: Rune of Concussion Robe of Mana: Salil's Writ Pg. 90 (right) Robe of Obliteration: Words of Obliteration Robe of Scent: Essence of Rathe - Robe of Lodestone: Flake of Lodestone no longer drops High Elves have the choice of 111 recipes not to learn and can make: Robe of Impulse: Rune of Impulse Robe of Skewn: Nilitim's Grimoire Pg. 115 Robe of Slant: Part of Keris' Dissertation Pg. 5 (right) Robe of Sorcery: Rune of Sorcery Robe of Tears: Tears of Prexus Robe of Virtue: Words of Virtue All races can learn all swatches (the item, Piece of Parchment and Quill), they are Research recipes. Subtract 1 if you're not going to make Combine Cloth Dye Kit which requires raiding in RoS. Subtract 58 if you're not going to make any Conflagrant gear (49 pieces of armor, 4 Shoulders, 3 Backs and 2 sub-combines) or whatever number you're not going to make. Later on you might decide that making some Conflagrant is your best option out of the remaining items but for now it's good to keep in mind that you could already be down to 46 recipes that you don't have to make. Shadeweaver's Thicket: 12 Shaded Hopperhide xxxx: Claw Needle (Tiamon Aroo), Damaged Hopper Hide, Xakra Kel xxxx (temporary, dark aliens in caves) 10 Shade Silk xxxx: Shade Silk(24) (Collar and Mask are not learned recipes or are in a book) Tailored Large Bag: High Quality Rockhopper Hide, Shadeling Silk(6) Tailored Large Belt Pouch: Medium Quality Rockhopper Hide, Shadeling Silk(6) Tailored Small Bag: Low Quality Rockhopper Hide, Shadeling Silk(6) Tailored Wrist Pouch: Damaged Hopper Hide, Shadeling Silk(6) - 30 Shadeling Silk or 15 Shade Silk Thread should cover Shaded hide if you later do that, 12 recipes that each require 1 Thread with 215 or 222 trivial, Shade Silk Thread is also another way to turn LQ Rockhopper into Leather Padding This basically comes down to if you find Tiamon stocked and if you want to farm Ice of Velious for recipes or profit. The caves are as good of a place as any to farm Ice, the pale aliens have no Luclin specific TS drops (ignore tag on their armor), the dark aliens have Xakra Kel armor, Shade and Shadeling Silk, also Chunk of Condensed Shadow but one of those gets you a Smithing and Fletching recipe and the rest is junk. Maiden's Eye and Akheva Ruins: 12 Shaded Hide xxxx: Mind worm hide(20, traps and statics in AR), Shade Silk Thread, Shaded xxxx (No Trade, Robe model in either zone) - 40 Akheva Blood and Essence of Darkness which also drops from the Robes is probably enough for Smithed Black Acrylia weapons Cazic Thule: 11 Flawless Tae Ew Hide: 7 pieces of Leather armor and Whip require 1 each, 10 slot 100% WR bag, BP and Legs require 2 each, you will get way more than enough Tae Ew Blood Vial while looting the Hides 7 Tae Ew Silk xxxx: Spinechill Silk(18), Spinechill Ichor Vial(9), both from Spiders Cobalt Scar and Siren's Grotto: 12 Arctic Wyvern xxxx: Arctic Wyvern Hide, Cobalt Cod (fished in zone), Velium (many sources) 12 Cobalt Drake xxxx: Cobalt Drake Hide, Drake Egg (Crescent Reach), Velium 3 Othmir Fur xxxx: Othmir Fur(9) Siren Hair Robe: Lock of Siren Hair(5), SG the Sirens in CS drop Siren Hair - because Cobalt Scar is a GH port location it's easy enough to overcome the nuisance of there only being 4 Cobalt Drakes and the Hides being an uncommon drop Wakening Lands: 12 Tigeraptor xxxx: Tigeraptor Hide, Drake Egg (CR), Velium 12 Black Pantherskin xxxx: Black Panther Skin, Yew Leaf (WL ground spawn and forage) 12 Haze Panther xxxx: Haze Panther Skin, Yew Leaf 3 Holgresh Fur xxxx: Holgresh Fur(9) Western Wastes: 12 Ice Silk xxxx: Ice Burrower Silk(44) 3 Velium Hound Fur xxxx: Velium Hound Fur (9) Velium Mastodon Fur Cloak: Velium Mastodon Fur(4) PoP, Cloth Robes actually have a different name format: 2 Ethereal Silk Swatch and Cured Ethereal Energy: Strand of Ether 5 Air Arachnid Silk String, Fiend Gut String, Nightmare Silk String, Slarghilug Kelp String, Vegerog Fiber String: 2 of a common Silk(-ish) from zone 84: 7 each Airstrand, Earthweave, Firestrand, Night Terror, Stormweave, Waterweave, Dream Haunt, Firehide, Stonehide, Storm Rider, Trilounhide and Windskin xxxx: Tempers in Smithing post are the bottleneck, Night Terror is most likely minus 7 and Neffiken, Lord of Kelek`Vor adds work well for Stormweave 6 PoTorment: Blood Treated Boruk Hide, Cord of Tormented Muscle and 4 Spiked xxxx of Agony, I skipped this zone, the stomach event is best/only source of drops apparently GoD: 15 Natimbi: Treated Aligned/Shimmering Steel Thread, Hynid-Hair Thread and 12 Hynid Bags, kill Hynids while foraging for Tea Leaf Oil 12 Cragbeast Bags that also require Treated Threads 3 Muramite Leather Padding, Needle and Silk Thread: Meldstone(2), Muramite Residue Omens: 30: 20 Faded Feran xxxx and 10 (Pale) Murkglider xxxx 20: 10 Faded Feran xxxx of Ice and 10 (Pale) xxxx of Strife Boot Gasket: Severed Feran Tentacle (used in Tinkering) - I used Noble's Causeway for the basic versions. I never tried to farm Gelidran Ice or Essence of Discord so no clue on drop rate but it's apparently low and best option is RSS.
