Blacksmithing-The Basics

A blacksmith crafts the heavy armor and weapons in the world of ESO.  The weapons include one-handed weapons like swords, axes, maces, and daggers.  There are also two-handed weapons like two-handed axes, maces, or greatswords.  All ore needed for creating these types of weapons are found in the various nodes around the world.

Crafting experience is known as "Inspiration" and the only way to boost this type of experience is by:  

o    10% for having an ESO Plus Membership

o    20% “Inspiration Boost” Champion Point Passive (acquired by spending 30 CP in the “Tower” CP tree, so you need to have 90 CP) 

To level blacksmithing you need to gather ore to refine or deconstruct other weapons and armor.  Looking at various bookshelves around the land also allows one to find books on blacksmithing, which raises inspiration.  Now, because I enjoy gaming, like you do, I have included a couple of sites that can be used to aid in your crafting.
