Blacksmithing is it worth it?

[EiEiO]

Is it worth upgrading anymore? or should i pick something else to do?

You need blacksmithing to make some of the better gear in the game. Whether you want to take the time to level it up, or entrust someone with all of the materials to successfully make the weapon for you, is up to you however.

That said, quality of gear only goes so far. Reforges contribute to a huge chunk of power, too.

A bit late to the party, but I would advise some other path first.

Black Smithing is going to require a lot of resources.

Refining is something you should up so you can turn ores into ingots, I would also suggest Metallurgy a lot as the resource gathering with a sieve is really good. Also you should look into grabbing some of the construct alchemist skills, such as metal conversion and synthesis.
