HOW TO MAKE 10X MORE GOLD IN ANY CAMP!
Instead of selling a piece of armor for only 3 gold at an NPC merchant, if you salvage it and then “trinket” it, you will be able to make at least 10x more money. Salvaging is just breaking down the item to its raw materials, you can do this at the camp with no tools required. Trinketing requires a forge and involves making “trinkets” with the raw materials, which you can sell to a merchant for nearly double what you could sell the raw materials for.
The drawback is that it is going to take you some time and money if you want to be able to salvage and trinket items. It may help to build up your skill while your leveling, just making sure that your skill is high enough to trinket the the items you get while killing mobs. If you are level 50 and have no trade skill it will possibly take a day or two to get it high enough to be useful.
How high to bring your Metalworking
If you want to be able to trinket asterite items you will need about 800 metalworking and arcanium drops from SI will require 1000 metalworking. The reason you should bring them so high is that at those levels the items you will be trinketing will mostly be grey so you can make them in half the time to make. It will save you loads of time in the long run if you do lots of trinketing
How to increase your metalworking skill
In order to increase your metalworking you have to first take up a craft (weaponsmith, armorsmith) . Metalworking is a secondary skill, and to be good at it, you have to first bring up your primary crafting skill. Your metalworking can only go up to the level of your primary craft skill.
Crafting masters can be found in either the capital city or the starter city in the SI zone. If you are taking up the craft ONLY so you cant trinket, then you should probably consider either tailoring or fletching, as they are the easiest and cheapest crafts to build up. If you think you might want to make things later on, consider armor crafting or weapon crafting( or whatever craft you think you’ll use)
Once you choose your craft, you will be given a load of crafting skills to your skill list, each with an icon that can be dragged to your quickbar for crafting. These are used for bringing up the item lists that you can make for each craft.
