==Tips from Rudie==
*Make sure you have a miner that can mine up to 200kg worth of lumps per day
*Make large amounts of shields: 20 small shields, 20 medium shields and 20 large shields or whatever amount you wish.*Work in bunchesbatches. If several items need a whetstone and a few need a pelt, use the whetstone first, then move onto using the pelt (minor time saver).
==Tips from Ephemeral==
*Try and to make shields for which you already have skills with . (iee.g. , if you have ground shieldskill shield skill on large iron shields, make them.) as it It appears to be easier to improve this way.*Obtain [[CoC]] tools (specifically, whetstone and pelt, possibly lump) if you can, as they help enormously.*Small shields use less material and give excellent skill until 35 or so.*You can imp improve a shield to 20ql at ~5 shieldsmithing, but you can only imp improve up to 40 at 35+ shieldsmithing.
