Hello, i need a simple advice.
I'm a level 26 skald and as an armorcrafter i just reached 815, as well on all secondary tradeskills.
Now to keep on levelling i should start using netherium.
To optimize the levelling cost on crafting what should i do, go buying it in relic keeps o wait to make some more levels and start using the raw material i can salvage from drops?
At what level will i start dropping netherium stuff? Is there any good spot you'd suggest (good dropping rate), both for playing grouped or solo?

And what about arcanium? Which are the best arcanium spots? Are there easy to solo high rate dropping mobs on Midgard?
Thanks.

Salvage asterite, use money to buy nether and arc.

Hello

go to relic keep and buy it, is the best advice i can give you. The drops which salvage in arcanium or netherium are so rare on classic, that you will take ages to farm all the stuff you need to skill up. (45+ needed aswell to find any drops which salvage this high end tier) and as i said its rare.

Besides from rog drops fz i found only a handful named drops which salvaged to arcanium so far, most drops (even high lv one) salvage for a good amount of asterite. So i trinket this to buy the higher stuff at relic keep.

The only Netherium drops I've gotten have been from the random Summoner's Hall armor drops (not from the summoners, but randomly generated from mobs). If you get some of those, you may be in luck... otherwise just farm the gold and buy at RK.

Summoners hall and malmo named mobs are the only places i've seen either. You wont get enough for crafting though you will have to buy some from the relic keep.

Message was loud and clear, thanks everybody!

Are there any other forges in the realm except Jordheim's, Gna Faste's and Bledmeer's (or equivalent furthest keeps) ones?
(Not considering the housing system)

i just encountered this exact issue. thanks for asking the question and thanks for the answers fellas!
