Blacksmithing Leveling
By 🅵🆁🅴🅳🅴🆁🅸🅺
How to level Blacksmithing in less than a week. This guide works for both new players and experienced champion players. Like me I didn't invest alot of attention on the Blacksmithing skill tree when I first started with the Elder Scrolls Online. It was not until I reached level 50 and moved on to the Champion part of the game I realized I could save tons of Gold by just crafting my own armour and weapons. But to do this as a high leveled player I couldn't just start wearing iron items and hope to survive. So I started doing this trick to quickly level up Blacksmithing for me to use those higher tier ingots.

Davon's Watch
You are gonna want to make your way to Davon's Watch, the first city you come across in far eastern Stonefalls in the Ebonhart Pact alliance. In the city head south until you get to the market.

You will now see three stands, one selling swords, one selling armour and the last one selling clothes. Each stand got alot of items just lying around, and one vendor. We are going to head inside the weaponsmith stand first, and we are going to work our way through these three stands.

Steal Everything
Make sure you stay in stealth mode and pick every item you can see that is made out of iron, like greatswords, daggers, swords, etcetera. Do look out for the vendor as he tends to walk around a little, but other than that be careful and don't get caught, no one want to pay bounties.



Once the stand is picked clean head over to the armourer next door. This can be a little tricky as you got to watch out for both the armourer, weaponsmith and a Pact Guard patrolling the street. You are gonna want to pick this place clean as well from every pice of armour you can find.



The last place is the tailor where for some reason a random helm will spawn, make sure to grab this too as we want to have as much as possible in our inventory. Once each store is empty of iron items you can call this part a success.



Now, we want to fill up our inventory to the brink but keep four free slots which is gonna be important for the last step. So what do we do now? There is nothing more to steal! Don't worry, get on your mount or run south towards the city gate and to the wayshrine located just to the left of the gate. Fast travel to any wayshrine and back again to Davon's Watch. This will re-spawn each item we just stole.



All you need to do is repeat this process until your inventory is nearly full but with four slots available.
Blacksmithing Station
Great work, it looks like your inventory is full of stolen items! Now to the fun part. From the market you are going to run east to the Blacksmithing Station.





And all you need to do is deconstruct each item you just stole. The more items you deconstruct the more your Blacksmithing skill will start to slowly increase. This is why I recommend investing in a larger inventory to carry as much as possible to save some time. And you know what is great? We are also earning Gold as when done deconstructing you can either keep the ingots, or sell them to the Blacksmith for ~200 Gold if you steal ~65 items and deconstruct them. This part is also why you must have four slots available in your inventory for the ingots to be able to fit.





After deconstructing the items, and selling the ingots to the blacksmith, you are gonna want to head out the city gate just south-west of the Blacksmithing Station and run up to the same wayshrine you used to re-spawn the items. Fast travel away from the city, and return. Now all items are re-spawned again and you are ready to repeat, repeat and repeat. You will be doing this in a large circle pretty much.

Optional: Creation
After deconstructing your stolen items, instead of selling them you can also use them to create brand spanking new armour pices or weapons to get even more experience on your Blacksmithing skill. This is optional though as the stolen items will scale to your level, meaning if I example steal items in Davon's Watch while being level 50 I will get Quicksilver items, and thus I can't create any items with it as I will get Quicksilver Ingots, a material I have not reached yet in my Blacksmithing skill tree.

SCP:DSP That's the best possible way, yes but the way for new players. in my opinion, gather every node you get, armor. then decon them all while you level up. Thats what I do when leveling up a character as when I was new too. and learn traits !

buy a lot of 280% gear and deconstruct that... its way easier

I prefer the Hollow City in Coldharbour. All the items are free to take and there's a crafting station nearby.

look i put it into maximum , just by playing and deconstructing everything

I find it easier to just do a short dungeon like fungal grotto and just grab any weapons and armor

An even better way you might want to add is just buy intercet gear from traders and decon that for 280% more insperation.
