Battered Heart
Novice
Greetings once again to my fellow UOF players.
I recently GMed Blacksmith and would like to share with you my method.
First, you need to gather a few items:
1. A recall rune to the Blacksmith Area in Brit
2. A recall rune to the Blacksmith Area in the Orc Dungeon
3. A recall rune to the bank
4. 32,000 ingots (give or take, depending on character staying fed)
5. Food for character
Now of course you want to start this character with 50 smith / 50 tinkering
Buy magery and mining up to 50
GM Mining before you start working smith, and get magery to at least 65
The technique is quite simple.
Carry 500-700 ingots to the orc dungeon, make your items, and then recall to brit to smelt.
The dungeon gives you better gains skill wise, and the brit smith area gives you better return on smelting.
You only want to run with 500-700 ingots because PKs visit there 3-4 times a day. And after this post goes live, you can expect to see them a little more often.
Now there are other threads and posts out there that tell you want to make at what level for the best gains and all that jazz.
But personally, running the macro a certain way and leaving it there and not bouncing back and forth only costs you about 300-500 ingots from 50-GM
That's right. All that bouncing around making 15 different things and resetting macros only saves you 300-500 ingots.
So not a big deal.
Here is my guide to what to make:
50-65 Short Spears (or katanas)
65-85 Spears
85-GM Plate Gorgets
Now, a bunch of people are going to disagree. And that suits me fine. But this is what I did and I GMed Smith in a total of 6 hours and used less that 30,000 but lost about 2k to PKers.
Have fun ladies and gentlemen!
