    It really illustrates how far Joe Joeman has come when you consider how he's gone from cowering behind Meeko and firing arrows from the darkness to rushing Falmer with a crossbow head-on, much less when you see him play the lute in his crown at the Throat of the World.

    It depends on when those videos were posted. When Skyrim was first released smithing Iron daggers was the most efficient method for leveling up your smithing since you got a fixed amount of xp based on the items materiel tier. So that meant that an Iron dagger gave you the same amount of xp as Iron armor. However Bethesda fixed this very quickly, they released a patch that changed smithing and I think alchemy as well to award xp based on the crafted item's value.

    • @TheRedRobin96
      @TheRedRobin96 Год назад +5

      I had even tested this myself. When Skyrim first came out I had heard from a friend that smithing daggers was the best method. Since I am a frugal person (even back then) I wanted to get the best value from my materials. I had crafted 10 iron daggers then reloaded save and crafted 10 Iron Helmets, the progress bar was the same for both.

    • @jordananderson2728
      @jordananderson2728 11 месяцев назад

      Kind of a necro, but the formula according to UESP is 3(val^0.65)+25, meaning iron daggers give about 37 xp, while gold rings give about 150 total since you get 2 of them.

    I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's come up with the dwarven bow method, that's what I've been using for years and I've recommended it to everyone I know who plays Skyrim. I've still got a post-it note next to my monitor listing all the smeltable scrap pieces and how much they weigh/how many ingots they make. A solid dwemer metal piece only makes five ingots, whereas 12 of the smaller plates would have about the same item weight as the solid dwemer metal but would yield 36 ingots. It's a fun little game of strategy, plus dwemer ruins are cool and the extra loot usually sells for a lot. And now thanks to your efforts I've been able to witness comparative proof that the bow method I adore is actually pretty viable! Thanks for the amazing vid!

    • @falcotic6702
      @falcotic6702 Год назад +1

      not only is it viable its actually better than transmuting ore. he tested this very poorly imo because you need more xp the higher your levels go. also you can improve the dwarven bows which is actually more efficient than making them.

    A good way to boost the leveling even more is to do the Unfathomable Depths quest. It has you go through a Dwemer Ruin, so you're already getting a lot of Dwarven Metal, and the quest's reward grants you a permanent 15% buff to Smithing experience gain (along with a 25% armor bonus towards Dwarven armor).

    To anyone interested I counted how many gold bars are needed to get level 100 smithing it took me approximately 877 gold ingots or 1754 iron ore turned into gold ore using the transmutation spell.
    Edit: to anyone who intends to sell the gold jewelry after you finish getting level 100 smithing. I recommend making rings instead of necklaces because you get 2 rings but only one necklace per gold bar. The 2 rings combined are worth more than a single gold necklace so you would be getting more money buuut you could also use the gold rings to level your enchanting skill however you don’t have to if you don’t want too

      It surely isn't fun to grind for perks. If you just play questlines only, you won't even max more than 2 skills (possibly 3 if you do an unholy amount of lockpicking) passively, and those are an armor skill and a melee skill of course.

    I really hope Mylque comes back to content creation. This skyrim series is unironically some of the best bethesda-game content to exist, and the fallout 4 series had a lot of promise.
    He has such a likeable brand of humor, and his script writing/story building is impressive given the goofy context of the Joeman saga.
    I randomly got this in my recommended back when he was on episode 3 of this series, and was hooked on his content from the start. Ive rarely cared for any media enough to actively wait for new episodes, but I checked youtube daily back when he was active.
    The only thing I can say is I dont use twitch. If he still streams but just gave up youtube then I guess I need to look into that.

    1:39 min of sex jokes on a high school level as an intro is a bold move.

    The second method brought you from 40-25
    The amount of xp per level up goes up with smiting level. There is considerably more xp xp per min of labor. Almost twice as much!

    Duplicate gold bars by dropping them in whiterun, making a companion pick them all up, leaving through the door, fast traveling back, and repeat. Then take the 400 gold bars and make gold rings until you're smithing level 100, so you can make that steel sword you picked up at the start of the game deal *88 damage.*

    I just installed a mod that made me gain Smithing experience from any kind of crafting related activity like mining, chopping wood, tanning leather and upgrading equipment.
