Did I really hear you say that? :shock: Smithing is hard to lvl up once you get past lvl 75. I'm currently lvl 77, if I want to get 85 I need to: - buy 35.000 mithril bars = 35 Mill! and smith them all or - mine, smelt and smith 21.500 mithril bars = 21.500 mith ores + 86.000 coal (atleast +400 hours of mining + 60 hours of smelting + lots of hours of smithing = 500+ hours) Heh... Thats not the right opinion to raise smithing. You have to think of an ultimate goal, "let it float in front of your eyes", and do the little ones first. If you'd go for the big goal in one "turn" (that is, you'll do only that until you reached that goal), eventually you'll blow a fuse. And we don't want that happen, now could we? Ok, I would, but that's not the point :lol:. So, try to lvl up 1 or 2 lvls at a time, go have fun a little or something, then sit back to smithing, another 1 or 2 lvls, etc. By the way, at the summer of 2006, I mined 17k coal and 8,5k iron, and I leveled my smithing from 59 to 70. I mined it from February, and I finished smithing at July. And here I am at 2007, still at the nuthouse :mrgreen:...
