How do I level up my forge skill? Can't craft adamantium as of now.

[Jackass]

Sitting on 3000, thought my artisians would level up automatically.. How am I supposed to level up forge skill?

Don't think you can. Find a dwarf blacksmith and recruit them or enslave them, or wait for an insane artisian to show up since those guys usually have +20 to their smithing skills.

There aren't any dwarves in my map. What to do then?

Get to waiting, then. Or just don't worry about it, and steal adamantium from another dungeon.

Dig down. Dwarves tend to be random encounters when digging deep on your x axis.

Experience can level it up. Z20 dwarves might have the 50 skill to forge it.

If there's a blacksmith on the map then depending on the faction they belong to you can either enslave them or spend gold to get them to emigrate to your keep. Or both, because you can still enslave a goblin artificer than can work adamantine and you won't even have to give them the personal quarters they'll demand.

Also experience can raise crafting attributes, but admittedly not at the same rate as other attributes. Had some goblin warriors with enough experience to have their piddly workshop and forge skills be raised by 2, while their other attributes were raised by, what, 19?

There is also a scroll you can purchase from the black market if you've found it that will raise the forge skill of a unit by 50. So an artificer with skill 30 should now be able to handle infernite and adoxium.
