Dragons of Norrath Smithing Guide
Smithing - the Tradeskill of subcombines! You should expect more subcombines when leveling up Smithing than really any other Tradeskill - you should also expect a lot of different Tradeskills to require a utensil that's made through Smithing.
If you'd like different ideas for recipes I recommend you check out my Classic Smithing Guide, Velious Smithing Guide , PoP Smithing Guide or Omens of War Smithing Guide.
This is one of the two recipes I recommend making with Fulginate Ore to level up Smithing. The Fulginate Barbs are used in a Tailoring recipe with a 175 trivial. I would recommend you just vendor it instead of trying to pursue that route.
This is one of the two recipes I recommend making with Fulginate Fill to level up Smithing. The Fill is used in a Tailoring recipe that's at 170 trivial, I would recommend you just vendor the Fulginate Fill in all honesty.
This is one of the two recipes that I recommend you make with Rhenium Ore to raise your Smithing. I also recommend that you save all that you make with these recipes as they'll be used to raise your Tailoring Profession in the late 200s.

The only item for this combine that can't be purchased from a vendor is Indium Ore. Instead, Indium Ore drops off humanoid type enemies between the levels of 45 - 65. All of the Plate Bracers Templates that you make through this combine you'll probably just want to vendor.
The only item from this combine that can't be purchased from a vendor is the Rhenium Ore which is an item that drops off humanoid enemies between the levels of 50 - 70. All of the Chain Collars that you make via this combine you'll probably just want to vendor.
Every item for this combine can be vendor purchased except for the Tungsten Ore. The ore is a common drop off humanoid enemies between the levels of 55 - 70. All of the Plate Bracers Templates that you make through this combine you'll probably just want to vendor.
Additional Information
- After the Gates of Discord expansion pack goes live there's an alternative method to raising every Tradeskill in the game to 54. I believe these quests to be a waste of time, however, they teach you recipes that can't be learned anywhere else and for that reason must be done at least once to reach 350 Smithing. If you're interested in learning more about the GoD Tradeskill Quests then follow the link provided.
- If you choose to use a Draught of the Craftsman you'll have enough juice to max out two Tradeskills usually. So come prepared with a lot of materials before popping a pot!
- If you don't see any materials that you need listed in The Bazaar setup a Buyer on a day when you don't plan on playing much to buy the items you need. Mention in general chat what you're buying (and even pay double what the other barters ask to get peoples attention if you want). Maybe someone who is killing in the zones and reading general will offload their loot to you.
- Aside from the uses mentioned above it's useful for every player to max out all of their Tradeskills for tangible useful benefits. You can only acquire things like Artisan's Prize and Sacred Prayer Shawl of the Duke from maxing out your Tradeskills. Those of you whom are wondering if this is all even worth it, well now you know.
- Under "General" in the AA window get the Salvage AA as soon as you possibly can, preferably before you start raising all of your Tradeskills. It'll save you a lot of plat.
- Every Tradeskill gets an item called a Tradeskill Trophy introduced in the Prophecy of Ro expansion pack. If you'd like to learn more about them prior their introduction then follow the link provided. Here is a list of all 6 quests for the
