:*When improving several things at once, apply lump to them all together until they all require a different item, then put the lump back and imp them all back to needing lump again. this is because lump needs to be hot, so you want to get through it's use quickly.

:*Blacksmithing is the most important smithing skill, followed by weapon smithing. This will cover all your tools and allows you to work faster and better.

:*The better the quality of your tools, the more chance you have to succeed at imping.

:*If you want to train a particular smithing skill, the best way is to make 20 of a small item that uses this skill, then imp them all to 5, then 10, then 15, etc. Reasons:
 
−
::1)Having a large number of tools to imp allows you to gain skill faster with relation to the following reasons
 
−
::2)Making the item a small one means that you will use less lump on them.
 
−
::3)There is a 'magic' point at which you gain skill fastest, so by hitting this point with many items at once makes your skill jump fastest. By the time you have gone through this 'magic' point in all the items, the magic point has moved ahead of you again and you get to hit it all over again.
