Step
Method 1 of 3: Making and Selling Five Hundred Iron Daggers
Step 1. Get some Iron Ingots and Leather Strips
Both items can be purchased from a blacksmith (Smither), a shop, or taken from a variety of locations. You can also steal these items if you dare to take the risk.
Step 2. Go to the Forge (where the blacksmith works) after getting the two items
Make a large number of Iron Daggers. To make an Iron Dagger, you will need one Iron Ingot and one Leather Strip. By making this item (Item), you can get a lot of Experience. In addition, you do not need a lot of goods and money to make these items. You also don't need any Perk to make this item. That way, you can quickly create these items from the very beginning of the game.
Step 3. Sell all the Iron Daggers that have been made and rebuild them
You have to make five hundred Iron Daggers to level up Smithing from level 1 to level 100. While this process sounds very tedious and tedious, you only need to spend five hours making all of these items and doing other activities related to the item manufacturing process., such as waiting for Iron Ingot and Leather Strip stock to be available again and others.
Method 2 of 3: Creating an Iron Dagger that Has a Fear Effect
Step 1. Buy Iron Ingots and Leather Strips
Step 2. Complete the Stormcloak Quest
Step 3. Get the sword that Ulfric has
Step 4. Disenchant (removal of magic effect of items) on Ulfric's sword
Step 5. Enchant (insert magic effects into items) on Iron Dagger by using Fear
Step 6. Sell the Iron Dagger for a lot of money
Method 3 of 3: Utilizing Glitch Respawn in the Dawnstar Shop
Step 1. Go to Dawnstar
If you're just starting out in the game, you can get to Dawnstar in a horse-drawn carriage from Whiterun.
Step 2. Find the Dawnstar chest
There is a tree surrounded by some rocks located to the left of the mine and smelter (where to melt ore). You can find the mine and smelter on the right side of town. If you examine the area of the tree carefully, you will find an invisible chest. The chest contains 750 Gold, Poison, weapons (Weapon) and armor (Armor) that have Enchantments, Grand Soul Gems, and others. The chest contains a lot of goods because it is owned by a merchant (merchant). The chest is called "Dawnstar Chest"
Step 3. Attack the merchant named Ahkari
The chest was owned by a Khajiit merchant named Ahkari. After taking all the items from the chest, meet him and save the game data (Save Game). After that, attack him and reload the game data (Load Game). His inventory will be replenished with Gold and Soul Gems. These two items will appear in random quantities.
Note that you have to look at Ahkari's Inventory to get her chest filled up again. Talk to him to see his Inventory
Step 4. Repeat this method
Repeat this method until you get a lot of money and Soul Gems.
Step 5. Disenchant items
You can find the Enchanting Table in the Jarl building next to the mine and the Smelter on Dawnstar. Take items obtained from Ahkari's chests and Disenchant them to learn Enchantments each time you use a chest.
Step 6. Buy Iron Ingots and Leather Strips
After repeating this method over and over again, you will have enough money to buy a large quantity of Iron Ingots and Leather Strips. Meet the blacksmith who lives in Dawnstar and buy both items from him. After that, save the game data, attack him, and reload the game data so that his Inventory is filled again.
Step 7. Make a large number of Iron Daggers
Once you have enough money, you can make a large number of Iron Daggers. Making and selling Iron Daggers is the easiest way to level up Smithing.
Step 8. Enchant Iron Dagger
Enchant all the Iron Daggers that have been made. After that, sell the Iron Dagger to the blacksmith. If he runs out of Gold, save the game data, attack him, and reload the game data so that his Gold is replenished.
Step 9. Enjoy your new Smithing abilities
By having a high Smithing level, you can create very powerful weapons and armor that can load two Enchantments at once. These items can be used to defeat enemies easily.
Tips
- If your Smithing level has reached level 80 or more, you can create an Ebony Warhammer. Improve the quality of these items to get a lot of Gold and Experience.
- Don't forget that you can give unwanted armor and weapons to your Followers, like Lydia. If the item given is of better quality than the item used by the Follower, he will use the item you gave him.
- You may be able to mine Iron Ore in a mine and melt it to make Iron Ingots. However, you have to walk a long way and spend a long time to mine Iron Ore.
- Try not to have too many Iron Ingots and Leather Strips. Thus, your Inventory load does not exceed the limit.
- The blacksmith named Balimund has a lot of Iron Ingots and Leather Strips that can be stolen. Both items are stored in the basement of his house in Riften. His house is next to his Forge.
Warning
- Balimund's assistant will probably be in the basement. Therefore, be careful when trying to steal Balimund items.
- The Skyrim update keeps Smithing's level-up speed in sync with the value of the crafted item. As such, making an Iron Dagger is no longer a good way to level up Smithing. Instead, find an item that has an Enchantment called Fortify Smithing. If you find a Guardian Stone, choose the Warrior Stone. After that, sleep in bed (if possible in your own bed) and if possible, choose a Perk called Ancient Knowledge obtained from the Side Quest given by From-Deepest-Fathoms. This side quest requires you to enter the Dwemer Ruin. You can find From-Deepest-Fathoms at the Riften Docks. Defeat the Automaton in the Dwemer Ruin to get the Dwarven Scrap. These items can be used to make Dwarven-type weapons and armor which have a fairly good value. Upgrading and selling Dwarven-type weapons and armor can increase Smithing and Speech levels.
- Be careful not to accidentally sell your weapon.
