I made a new character, and i've never actually focused on Blacksmithing. I've always been a farmer or a builder or a hunter, never a blacksmith. Then I got to thinking, what a great opportunity it would be to go into blacksmithing. I'd no doubt have a really strong bond with my master and we'd probably become good friends after that.
I was hoping we could do it like a proper apprenticeship, where you take me on and teach me how to:
1) Introduce me to mining, hand down tips, give me counsel.
2) Show me how to make small objects, such as a hammer, a saw, a candelabrum etc.
3) You'd then teach me how to smelt tougher things, such as steel or other items
4) I would then make a masterpiece which I would give to you as a present. Most likely armour, or a weapon
I would devote all my time to blacksmithing, and I would put all LP into the skill. I have the alt with full Industry, so I wouldn't mess up the mining.
Was hoping someone out there would be kind enough to do this. Not only would you be able to pass your skill on, and help someone out, you'd make a steadfast friend who would always remember you whenever he's toiling away at the forge or anvil.
If anyone has any offers, please let me know. It would make it a lot easier if there was a mine close-by. I'd live near you, have my own cabin that i'd build and i'd just do chores you set for me (mine that much, smelt that much, make these trade goods).
Being an apprentice, I would start out small and be making fairly bad quality crafts, but there'd be buyers, i'm sure. I could make things where quality doesn't matter. Tankards and the such.
It would be great if a town took me on, because then I would become the town blacksmith, and i'd make tools required for the town, or weapons and armour.
Thanks.
