Thread: The Penultimate Guide to Weaponsmithing
I've visited this thread before and just wanted to add something that I've run into recently while trying to achieve Master Weaponsmith. When I was crafting/grinding I would get into a mode where I wouldn't pay much attention to my experience bar after it turned from yellow to green in the hopes that my trips to town would be less often by maxing out my experience each time. I found that with other professions you can store twice as much experience as it would take to make your highest skillbox. This is NOT true with Weaponsmith. I was crafting to finish a master box (77000 experience) and figured I could store up to 154000 experience before running into town and training twice. Instead I was capping at 120000 and losing materials each time I practiced.

Weaponsmith items grant the lowest amount of experience and use the least amount of resources. This profession requires a lot of clicking, moreso than many other professions. For the grind alone, plan to have roughly 500,000 units of Steel for the basics. A few notes: Hand-crafted weapons give UXP (usage experience, the experience granted when someone else uses your item), items crafted in factories give no UXP. One-use items, like Weapon Upgrade Kits, give full UXP the instant they are used, provided they were hand-crafted and not made in a factory. Additionally, items crafted in factories only give you 10% Weapon Crafting experience that you would get for hand-crafting the item. Lastly, Practice Mode gives a 5% experience bonus to hand-crafted items.

this is great stuff. but i have 1 quesiton. is there anyway to macro the loading of the metal so that you dont have to pause at all and load them manually? the only reason i ask is that sometimes i need to walk away fromt eh comp to do other household stuff (being married is a drag). and also wha it you only have 1 crafting station? what would the macro be for that? Im kinda newbish to all the macro stuff. it seems pointless to me at first but now im understanding why there there. any help would be great guys. and that site is great for resourses but no so good for macros
The only way to do this is with a 3rd-party software program and that is against the EULA and a bannable offense.

You do know that reading the whole post is advised before making corrections?
yeah i do know about that logix, i read the post and dont see the "penultimate-ness" of the guide. this is not making corrections, its making you accountable forwhat you are posting. needless to say im abit suprised when our correspondent publicly shows her ignorance and then responds with a snide answer like the one shown above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think what they was saying is that if you read the whole post you would see that someone has already commented on that very thing.
Also I would like to add that when someone goes out of their way to help people in a area that they know quite well of and do so extremely well why must people pick up on stupid little things like that when they should be saying thanks for all youve done your a star and a saint
