Currently I'm going for all 70 stats, and after spending tons of cash on construction, I'm left with 2.2m to work with.

 

Now to get smithing and crafting up, I'm planning to use Sc hammers and needles. Problem is I don't know what to work with

 

 

If I use Iron Knives, then I lose 600k, But I don't really know how fast this is. Is there a better option for me?

 

I looked up the numbers on crafting and It's about a 2.6m loss if I made Green-D hide bodies. Is there a more better way to level up?

 

Remember I only have 2.2 million to work with

 

 

Thank you in advance

i would recommend blowing glass orbs for the crafting, as its relatively fast and very little loss. Im unsure for the smithing, however i believe iron plates are a good combination of xp p/h and xp per gp

Since you're only needing to gain a few levels, I don't recommend spending that much money on dragonhides. As a master of crafting, Aeil is correct, blowing glass orbs is a great way that won't take too much out of your bank. Also for other methods, look around in the jewelry department and see if you can scan the market for some good deals. Then head out to Edgeville and craft the jewelry. :)

I'd say Mthril Knives for speed, but its well more then 4m. Stick to Iron knives, regardless of the slow speed.
