Count me in Ed
I got my smith up from 60 to 80 just by consistently going to blast furnace every day
My daily strategy was to buy the mith ores, iron ore, tin and copper from the ordan guy there. The ores here are real cheap compared to ge, but you can buy only 100 of each. Take noted coal, sc hammer, and coins. Make mith arrow tips, steel and bronze darts. I made daily around 100k profit apart from the smith xp. This is not including the profit from the gems, from the magpie familiar during the 20-30 mins I was there.
