I just returned to the game from a break and was looking to do smithing to help me gear up. Is there any guides out there for smith for just the progression servers to make things a little easyer to figure out. Thanks, Fades
In my opinion, this was the greatest guide to smithing of the old school era: eq.barefamily.org/files/economicalsmithv6.pdf
Most of the recipes recommended on the eqtraders tradeskill guide are now in game and working. With the release of DoN, the serverwide ore drops are in, so pretty easy (albeit expensive) to skill up just using those.
On a related note, anyone know if the Alkaline Loams are dropping. Or if the cultural armor is in game. My friend was trying to get me to help him gather some, he got all of the Mats but the Loams but we can't seem to be able to find any.
I find grinding guards a great way to get earlier ores. Militia House in East Freeport is a great spot - it even has a forge right there, and the guards drop ores to skill you up well past 200.
There has to be something wrong, I have spent the last two days in Pauladal Caverns, Castle Mistmoore, East Freeport, Dulak and not a single drop of alkaline loam or maellable loam. Plenty of ore drops but no loam. Does anyone know why? I dont remember it being this hard way back when...
Well I petitioned this, and the response was about the old conversion turn in quest. Old DoN Conversion Ingredient Conversion However, after attempting this, the old combines are disabled and DNC so they pointed me to a dead end.
