I've confirmed the skill gain for making weapons, but I'm not sure if trap components also grant 30 skill points. -Mzbundifund 23:56, 16 November 2007 (EDT)
It might be helpful to new users if a simple example is included, it would list the materials that are required to create weapons at Metalsmith's Forge. Something along the lines of:
Anvil (to create Forge) -> Have both a Weapon/Metalsmith -> Melt Rock X -> Bar is created (I think..?) -> Weapon is created, or something along those lines. I'm not exactly sure what the process is, since I'm still very new to the game, so I'm unsure if I listed the steps correctly, but it would certainly help to clear things up.

- A lot of that would be covered in a metal industry page, if somebody makes one. I've been wanting to do so, but it's a pretty daunting task since I was hoping to do a flowchart a la gem industry. --LegacyCWAL 13:53, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
What would be the best weapon to train weaponsmithing skill with?
Well? Which one? --Zchris13 23:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
