Power Smithing Version 1.5 and later

Also available for : PC, PS3, Xbox360

OK, first a little explanation, as of patch 1.5, smithing can no longer be<br/><br/>easily power leveled, with out a ton of grinding.<br/><br/>There are two easy "Fixes" for the problem.<br/><br/>1) The first, which is actually the one that's more of a fix, is also the easiest.<br/><br/> It has one step. DELETE THE PATCH. Then continue with power leveling as you<br/><br/>did before.<br/><br/> -For those who do not know how to power smithing read on, if you do know<br/><br/>how, skip to the NOTE.<br/><br/> Quick guide....<br/><br/> - (Rich Way) Travel from town to town buying every bit of iron<br/><br/>ore and leather possible.<br/><br/> Then make iron daggers. Two hours later, you'll<br/><br/>be a level 100 in smithing. Maybe shorter!<br/><br/> - (Poor Way) Mine the ore, kill the animals for leather, (the<br/><br/>plains of whiterun are perfect for hunting.) <br/><br/> Make iron Daggers. Repeat. THIS WAY IS MUCH MUCH<br/><br/>SLOWER. But, its also much cheaper. <br/><br/>****************************************************************************************************************************<br/><br/>**********************************NOTE**************************************************************************************<br/><br/>*****************************************************************************************************************<br/><br/>Doing this causes two problems, any characters you had, that were made new<br/><br/>after the patch, or before it, will no longer be usable.<br/><br/> And two, you'll have to start a new game. BUT, for any new characters you were<br/><br/>planning on creating, this is totally worth it. <br/><br/>After you've reached level 100, simply save, and re-install the patch. For<br/><br/>Console users, this as simple as dashboarding, and reloading the game.<br/><br/>2) The second and more legitimate way, is to power level jewelry. This does not<br/><br/>require deleting the patch, and is ALMOST, (not quite)as fast.<br/><br/> Simply mine, buy, or make (using the transmute spell found in halted steam<br/><br/>camp) to obtain gold. And Then use the best gems you have to make the best <br/><br/> (most expensive) items you can! Gold diamond necklace for instance, will level<br/><br/>you up very quickly. <br/><br/> Another also legitimate way, is to make dwarven bows, they require the least<br/><br/>amount of material, and level you up very quickly. <br/><br/>So you decide, people, i deleted the patch and leveled up and reinstalled it,<br/><br/>my game works fine! So do what you will!<br/><br/>Enjoy!<br/><br/>&#169;2012-05-07, IGN Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved
