Blacksmithing in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim – how to level up faster
Blacksmithing is best leveled in the city of Whiterun, as there are many traders and a blacksmith with a smelter there:
- Go to sleep in Brisenheim. This will increase your levels faster.
- Buy iron ore and leather from the War Maiden.
- Melt the iron and use the leather to make leather strips.
- Forge lots of iron daggers.
- Sell the daggers.
- Once you have the soul stones for it, go to Dragon Keep and enchant the iron daggers. This will level up your enchantment at the same time and give you more gold when you sell them.
