Weapon Smithing  

I am a weaponssmith, I was told that I would never be able tomake good arrows because my fletching is a secondary skill. Is this true

I was somehow able to make a quartz 2 handed sword that was LOADED with magical abilities... I didn't even know crafting a weapon with such magical abilites as spirit damage/damage over time etc. was possible till then.. and now I wonder what the odds are of making such a weapon

Was Crafting in fletching and i hit 499 and my trainer gils told me to see the order trainer is this a bug or is there another trainer out there somewhere

Im a 600+ weapons smith and i would like to see some sort so magic stats on my smithed weapons. I saw that other clases were going to be able to cut jems, why not let us embed them in the hilts and handles of our weapons for added bounses. they could even have difrent cuts for difrent levels. well any ways just a thought.

- yea i know the spelling sucks, but im a math major not an english major. 8-)

I can't find the Weaponsmith Master / Trainer.
Can anyone tell me where I can find him.

I looked in Camelot City and Camelot Hills for him as I thaught that he would be somewhere around there, but no... he isn't... or am I blind?

ive looked around on the site, and havent seen i direct refrence to fletching... my question is does it fall under weaponsmithing? and if so, who do i talk to in tir na nog to get this skill? im a lvl 5 luri ranger, not even sure if my class can use that tradeskill? and i just started playin a couple days ago so sorry for noob questions, thanks all

Can weaponsmithing be used to make the staff (specifically quarterstaff) line of weapons?

A friend of mine swore that the only way to go is to always do consignments... and never just sell to merchants. So, I did just that. My wrist hurts now, I've been doing it quite a while, and I'm only up to 235, BUT I've just hit steel, and the consignment profit is really good.
One strange thing that happened is that my leatherworking somehow fell behind... (My master kept giving me more axes, hammers, and spears, and not enough swords), so its currently at 70! Well, I haven't been asked to make a dagger or sword in a long time since I'm apparently not capable of doing so.
Someone said I should powerskill my leatherworking. Why? My Warrior uses an axe and that's what I'm making. Am I really going to miss out on anything (except the occasional player asking for a sword)? In fact, it might even be saving me time and money that I can be putting into consignments since I don't have to worry about leather.
Any thoughts?

I have the following skills:
weaponcraft: 248
metalworking: 247
leatherworking: 234
woodworking: 247

Now that I've reached these numbers, these skills are slowly increasing. I mean, I'm spending way too much gold and the skill's not going up. Is this because maybe I need to increase another skill?
My main trade is Weaponsmith.

Thanks

What if you clicked on the wrong trade Master and want to change your trade. Can it be done?

Ok, there seems to be some confusion on how Trade skills work...

First, find a trade skill master that you want. Keep in mind certain classes are limited to which ones they can join. A general rule is you can trade skill in items that you can use. Casters can only tailor, as they can't use much weapons or armor. Scout-type classes can fletch, make weapons, and tailor. Fighters can do just about anything. However, this only affects your primary trade skill.

Once you talk to the master, you will join the Trade guild associated with it. This will be your primary tradeskill. You can train in other tradeskills, but they cannot be higher than your primary! So if your primary tradeskill is a level 1, you can make other things all day and they will not increase. The "secondary" trade skills (Metalworking, Woodworking, Clothworking, etc) do not have masters, and usually increase when you are working on skills that incorprate them. For example, if I am a weaponsmith and need to make a weapon, it would require a metal weapon head, and say a wooden shaft. You can make the weapon head, and then the shaft. Then when you make the weapon, chances are good that your weaponsmithing, metalworking and woodcrafting all go up. Same goes for bows (fletching and clothworking) and robes (Tailoring, clothworking).

Sometimes you will need a certain level of a secondary tradeskill in order to make an item. It will tell you when you try to make it that the skill is insufficient. To increase these, make trinkets. These include hinges and brackets for metalworking, dolls and puppets for clothworking, and riding crops and the like for leatherworking. Note: its risky making weapon hilts to increase leatherworking skill, as they do not sell back to vendors for a price. Trinkets will.

This makes sense, as some arrows require metal bars, some tailoring items require pieces of leather, etc. So it may be that one of these will lag behind if you make items that don't require them, but thats ok, you can increase it later.

Consignments are a great way to break even or make a profit using tradeskills. Go to your Tradeskill guild master and /whisper task or help. I say /whisper, so noone around you goes nuts from all the people standing around like zombies chanting "Task" like its some evil cult ;)

He or she will give you a task to make an item applicable for your current level, and go deliver the item to someone. That person will then give you money for your troubles. Right now these tasks count for your max per level, but that is about to change soon (changed now on test server).

The only problem with Consignmets is that they are very tedious. Skilling goes up slow, as you spend most of your time running around trying to find the person to give the finished product. But, it will save you money, even make money, in the long run.

And definitley the best way to make a profit, and help your fellow realm-mates, is to sell to players. Shoot for somewhere above cost (obviously) but below standard merchant prices, probably somewhere in the middle. The players get a cheaper, and better-made weapon, than from vendors. If you are really nice, you can sell for cost, but I see this only among guildmates or close friends. But if someone is short on cash, I wouldn't mind selling it cheap. Heck, at least they help recoup costs.

Whew. There yall go, hope I answered most questions. If you want, check out this tradeskill site: www.cannotlinktokills.com
I am sure there are more out there, this is just the first I ran into.

Good luck and happy skilling!
