Talk:Goldsmithing

You buy the "beginner ____ finish" story from your respective expertise instructor. It will require you to be at least lvl 89/99 on your expertise and trade in a certain item to get a "beginner ____ finish". The problem is you can only obtain this item once a day and when you get to 89/90 all recipes besides the last one that requires "beginner ____ finish" are grayed out so you won't get anymore points for crafting them. You HAVE to craft the last recipe that requires this item in order to get to 99-100. Again you can only obtain "beginner ____ finish" once a day and it require 2 of these to craft one item... that means a minimum of 20 days unless you have extremely good luck and get 2 points for each crafting. --173.33.76.15 16:32, 27 March 2011 (UTC)Thrudd

Could someone create a Goldsmithing Guide on how to raise the proficiency level the fastest/cheapest/most effective way? Also how the Item Quality is determined with crafting is not explained on any of the Expertise pages(pure random?). 217.252.149.145 19:58, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

As of writing this on October 9th, 2012; you no longer need the beginner thingy in order to craft. I can only assume that this is true for the other levels as well, but I didn't need any to make the slingshot staff, nor did it show up when clicking on the bow. Starting at 89 Prof, you'll need to crat either the bow or the slingshot staff.
