Just recently i attained lev 45 in Smithing and was wondering what to Skill up on. The Guides on Allakhazam says to do Darksteel ingots till 52 but im very careful about what im gonna synth now since i got some serious exspenses in the next level (example- Lords equipment, Company Sword)

My Question is that if Darksteel is the way to go should i synth it on Firesday or Darkday? and is the moon very inportant in sucess rate? Or if Darksteel isnt the way to go until i get a little closer to 52. What should i synth to get me close enough to darksteel's cap that i wont blow up every other synth in a row.

I would really appriciate any kind of information i can get

Cause i understand darksteel phase of smithing can turn decent profit and that might help me reach monitary needs
 
darksteel can actually work out a pretty cheap or even profit synth and you use it a LOT later on... i hope you mine some of your own ore, oldton has darksteel gold and platinum... that's my advice
 
I went darksteel at around 46+ i got the smithing boost (the one you pay for) and just bought a few ores and smithed a stack or two. i made a bit of profit doing this. If you do buy iron i suggest checking the AH and the guild because sometimes SOMETIMES the AH sells iron cheaper than the guild (AMAZING!!!).

All and all if your not in a hurry i suggest mining it on your own like he said im thinking of doing that myself for money usually sells fround around 270k-300k and sheets 290k-330k it ranges.
 
smithing is my highest craft. what did u synth at 33+? thats what im at right now. i'll mark this other info for later.
 
shouldn't this go under the Crafter's Corner?

Edit: Didn't see that there were 2 of these threads either.
 
Lol i double posted a topic i find that funny
