So I take it you never heard of the smithing quest out of Shar Vahl. There
is a smithing quest there that you can use to get to 250 for little money,
just need to do a lot of farming. There are two mobs there that drop the
items needed for smithing. The owlbears and sonic wolves drop different
substances that are used together with metal rings to make humming
orbs...these triv around 180 making it easy to get smithing up for just the
cost of making the rings...no water needed. The only problem is these
substances drop the most often when the mobs control the islands in the
south of the Hollowshade zone. That being the case most people trigger the
war to get the owlbears or sonic wolves to overrun the grimling there and
make the islands their home. once you reach 180 or so in smithing you can
start making Shadowscream armor. Forgot what piece it was, but one part
trivs at 208, another around 225, and the boots triv at 250+. For just the
cost of the mold, the cost of making the humming orbs, and the swirling
shadows...you can get your smithing to GM. Is that not reason enough to
camp the mobs in Hollowshade?
