Very slow crafting speeds.

[Strong Glass]

I've got a smith with lvl 80~ armor smithing. Indoors crafting stations with adequate lighting, sufficient power and resources, yet crafting time for leather/chain is over 10 hours. Is this normal or is there something that can speed things up?

[Zombie101]

Nope just smith more get it 100 only thing. Crafting armor take time not really anything can do speed it up other then what you did.

Chainmail and leather undershirts have their own production speed multiplier, a very slow one, and there's no way to mod that variable. Which sucks.

The only workaround is to make a dedicated undershirt crafting station with a high production speed. Such a mod already exists, as it happens.

Armitage is correct.

OP, notice those production times don't happen on weapons, or on the heavy armor crafting station...or even making pants or assassin rags on the leather/cloth benches. It's specifically leather shirts and (I think, but they're certainly not AS bad) chainmail.

Depending on the situation, you can take advantage of this, if resources are very tight, you can try to make some leather shirts to stretch those resources into as much skill gain as possible - which in turn pushes your crafting closer to being at an acceptably profitable level.

But yes, for the most part, extraordinarily long shirt crafting times are just a moderate annoyance.

Yes it is normal but it depends on the item. The most notorious one is chainmail.

You could bump up production speed to shorten the craft time during the start of the game but other than that, mods.

i always had 2 armorcrafters and 2 lower level tanners, but they have been making leather for so long i now have 4 armorcrafters with 87 skill, which speeds up things a lot if im making 4 shirts at once. got almost the entire team in master crafted gear too while i exclusively play on normal speed. if things take too long, just add more crafters ;p
