The next thing I would suggest is to make a [[forge]]. This will greatly reduce the time necessary to melt [[ore]] down into usable lumps and heat our items for creating and improving. You sill use your [[stone chisel]] to chip rock shards into [[stone bricks]]. You will also need to find some [[clay]] for making this. If you have clay nearby you can dig what is needed and easily carry it back in your backpack. If you have to travel far for clay, it would be more time effective to take a cart and fill it full and bring as much home as you can. Clay is used in many different item creations, whatever you don't use for making the forge can be stored in the [[BSBbulk storage bin]] (Bulk Storage Bin) you created in the carpentry guide for use later. Building a forge will slowly give you [[masonry]] skill, which will eventually allow you to make stone houses or other stone or marble items.

Now that we have tools all made, we are going to start into the most cost-effective item first. For this you can use the rummage to find a few iron rocks (if you are still trying to find a vein) but this will be the only item that can be done this way effectively. We want to make a [[spear tip]], and then use the carpentry skills to make a [[Staff_(wooden)|wooden staff]]. Improve both of these items as high as our materials and skill will allow. The higher the ql of the parts the higher the chance of successfully making them into a [[long spear]]. Once you create a long spear it's time to start improving it. This is by far the most resource friendly method of increasing our [[weapon smithing]] and parent [[smithing]] skill because it uses carpentry tools to improve and logs, which logs are a renewable resource which we previously equipped ourselves to do in the carpentry guide by using a sickle to get sprouts for replanting. This is also a good way to boost our wood cutting skill since you will be continuously using up logs and making more.
