For everyone's reference, I am, as of this post, at Tier 6 of Prospecting/Metalsmithing. I am able to craft to following items:
- Heavy armor from levels 07-56
- Crafting tools from levels 01-45
- Shavings and Ingots from Copper metal ore - Khazad Copper metal ore (and the various special ingots for each tier)
- Rune-keeper chisels and rifflers from levels 10-55
- Light/Heavy/Warden shields from levels 07-55
- Obsolete item conversion into ingots from Copper metal - Khazad Copper metal (i.e. an Elf Steel Brace into 2 Ancient Steel Ingots, a Bronze Chain Link into 2 Bronze Ingots, etc.)
Mastery is obtained for all tiers except Tier 6 (Supreme), which requires Khazad Copper metal from Moria and I am not there yet, which means most crafted items in Tiers 1-5 can be made with critical success making it much more powerful than the base item (i.e. a critical success Heavy Dwarf-Iron Shield is crafted into a Hardened Heavy Dwarf-Iron Shield with significantly higher stats).
Send me a message with requests. Mats not required, but if you have them great!
