18+ Blacksmithing

[Antioche]

Asked this question online and was dismayed when I recieved the reply. So I came here hoping for a second opinion.

My dwarven smith, just made level 18. When I reached level 11, a "new" quest appeared that directed me to go to three rivers to continue my training. Once I did this more recipies showed up at the trainer in Bordinars Cleft.

I am told online, that there are NO recipies for levels 18, 19, and 20.

But at twenty one I can go to New Targinor and continue the quests there to learn the next stage or somesuch.

Tell me this is not the case. Now I'm not even goiong to get INTO the fact that I can't actually yet MAKE the Tin BP I learned at 17 even in it's crudest form because of the rate of progress during crafting...But now three levels of sitting grinding the same stupid-ass work orders at my own expense before I see anything new?

As Jack once said. " I'd rather stick needles in my eyes..."

Anyone have other information to share on the subject?

You have to grind stupid ass work orders anyway seeing as actually making real gear gives no xp after first success.

The tin armour chest piece you can make C maybe B grade at 20. Personally I hate the fact you grind to finally get a recipe only to grind another load of lvls just to make it-Im not sure I could even get D grade at 18.

Afraid you get no recipes until you become an Apprentice, but once you become the apprentice recipes for 18, 19 and 20+ become available, naturally you likely cant make them at a grade above D till you have done more work order grinding.

Can't say I am a fan of crafting, but then I have hated crafting in all games as it bores me, so I am biased, and the fact I managed to get to 21 suggests that maybe this games crafting isn't as bad as others and jst needs some adjusting
