cant find a blacksmith for shit

[phacemeltar]

i just looked at the tradeskill sticky and theres like 15 posts back to back of people asking for a blacksmith. is there really no one with high level blacksmithing?

if anyone reading this can make fine steel plate, i am in the market to buy some pants.

I have 175 blacksmithing. The greaves are 228 trivial. I have no problem making them, but I need leather padding: http://wiki.project1999.com/Leather_Padding

So if you can bring me leather padding, or even the low quality skins/pelts and silk required (I have enough tailoring), then I'll keep attempting. I won't charge anything besides the mats for the leather padding.

This would be in the EC/Freeport area.

That goes for anyone btw, I'd like to skill up my blacksmithing a bit more but I hate farming animals/spiders for the padding. I don't mind eating the cost of the other materials.

[Byrjun]

Triple post, because this is in RNF for some reason and I can't edit.

The "main" blacksmithing page lists a trivial of 228, but the specific Fine Plate Greaves page lists a trivial of 182. I'm not sure which is correct.

[phacemeltar]

sounds good, whats your name in-game?

[zanderklocke]

I can blacksmith but I'm at 200 and don't want my skill to go above 200.

[zanderklocke]

By the way, fine plate trivial were recently raised, same with banded armor. If you have leather padding, it's super easy to raise. Someone in tunnel sold me like 30 stacks of leather padding. Just need to find someone crazy enough to make that many.

[Byrjun]

What's the problem with your skill going above 200?

[zanderklocke]

You can only take one trade skill above 200. I'm thinking I want to take tailoring above 200 in Velious but not sure yet. Maybe brewing to make trade skill quests easier.

[Byrjun]

Oh, okay.

That's silly.

This! I'm in a similar boat, getting most all of my TS to around 100 and saving up silk swatches for wu's armor once that is reintroduced.

I'm at 175 smithing and I have some leather padding, I can make it for you so long as you cover the cost on the materials. Which is why I asked what you were paying in your thread. I expect to fail it a few times at 175 skill and don't want to be making the most expensive piece with one of the highest chances to fail, for someone who wanted to pay only 50 plat for it.

What race is your blacksmith? If it's human I would gladly start farming you leather padding for some human cultural.

[Byrjun]

Barbarian, unfortunately.

The cultural is garbage.

[Tecmos Deception]

Drumas is always happy to help everyone with anything related to blacksmithing, especially crafting banded and plate at cost or below. Be sure to hit him up! Also usually willing to cross the world to rez people in remote places for small donations.

I've been trying to find a set of Dwarven WIS armor for months and an ogre warrior bracer. Next to impossible now.

[Ashintar]

As usual Tecmos is half right... I currently have a 216 blacksmithing skill , if you need something made just bring me the materials and I'll be happy to combine them for you.
