Default cultural smithing question

I am going to make a human char and level up smithing to make a set of http://wiki.project1999.com/Enchante...late_(platinum).
I just want to make sure that the only requirement I need is to be human.
Is it ok to start in freeport until I get to the cultural part(then go to qeynos) so I have access to the tunnel to buy the mats for it?

Enchanted platinum is a cool kind of set ! Just be aware... beside leveling up until 200+ (sorta safe zone to craft these) mats are painful to farm. You also need enchanted large bricks and access to enchanter. Bricks are not stackable. WR bags are mandatory. Apart from this, best looking cultural set, very unique.

For qeynos cultural, you will need some enchanted hq ore, grifeenne blood, sunlight essence and enchanted platinum bar... HQ ore should be no issue, you usually find heaps on merchant near permafrost, sol A & HHK, but then you need to find a 46 chanter with the enchant steel spell (sold in freeport) platinum bar is trivial, bought in jewelcraft store and enchanted by any 30 or so enchanter, sunlight essence could frequently be found by the dozens on SS merchant, through they are sometime dry, you can also find rarely some on merchants in oasis, and slightly more frequently on the greedy merchants in OT, but the real bottleneck is grifeenne blood, your best bet is to mine NK merchants, kill grifeenne there, and check tunnel for it...

Grifenne blood is definitly the real pita. I also suggest roll druid and lvl up to 19 for sow and ports. Getting to qeynos with all the stuff can be tiresome. For quicker skills up, boosting STR instead of WIS isnt a bad idea, since STR will help you carry all that ore.

The sol B 100%wr bag and the solA wr box are mandatory... They can carry only small items, but luckily ore is small, and they are really cheap due to the size too...

Edit : also I am not in business right now, too much of a hassle, but diogene was selling them recently, at 10k if memory serves... Skilling plus the raw material cost will be higher if you do it yourself, so if your only goal is to get this armor, buy it...

Edit2: I am keeping my platinum armor, but I am trying to sell a set of electrum one, you can see it there:

Ty all for the great advice. Yes I only want this set and even though it may be wiser to buy it I sorta like the challenge of crafting it myself. My main is a 53 druid and my 1st main alt is a 47 chanter. I'll either drop transfer or ask a guildy (go Dap) for help. I am interested in the purple look once again for my daughter. I go thru spurts with this game where I get bored so this new challenge should keep me interested for a bit. This is exactly why I skilled up jewelry a few years ago with my chanter to make the Bsee and Gbse earrings( I didn't want to pay for them) and I still make money off of them today.

It will take me some time to search the WayBackMachine and whatnot, but for some reason, I thought early on in the game, only humans from their respected city could use their forge and could not use the other forge?

Good luck on that journey, it is a good one. Challenge is definitly high. You certainly will cry on failed combines [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Pro tip : there are 3 kinds of HQ Ore (small/ large / blocks) and you can convert them in and out. 3x small = 1x large // 3x large = 1x block // 1x block = 2x large
You need about 49 large bricks of enchanted ore for full visible set (7pces). Getting your chanter up to 45 smithing also helps alot since you can forge large bricks into enchanted folded sheet metal (stackable, weight alot less). Dont forget brewing for royal temper (135 trivial, 140 to safely not waste mats). Feybank in tunnel usually sells low quantity of grifenne blood from Sky raids.

Exactly what I need to know, maybe I'll just roll a qeynos guy and get him ported to FP to be safe.
