Fastest way to level up smithing ?

I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN9CdrYCoRo Not tried this method yet.

Working for this achievement (Stalhrim Crafter - Craft an item out of Stalhrim)

Don't leave a message saying "use commands to level yourself up" < BORING

well, here it is a hard way, i use it too, but isn't so fast, try gathering Leather Strips and Iron Ingots and craft lots of Iron Daggers :D

Few ways -

Some blacksmiths you can pay to level up, I think the blacksmith near the Companions hold lets you do that.

Also you could make jewellry, gold and silver rings or necklaces as that levels you up really fast.

Also, get iron ingots and leather strips and just make hundreds and hundreds of iron daggers.
Or you could make hide bracers where you only need leather and leather strips.

Also if you have Hearthfire dlc, building a house and all the materials like nails, iron fittings, hinges etc levels you up pretty fast.

Also, make sure you have the Warrior Standing Stone perk which levels up Smithing skill 20% faster.

Done XD XD

In all seriousness, buy 5 skillups for each level you gain. Smith as many high level things as you can, which require the least amount of materials. High lvl armor/weapons give more exp. The alternative is to smith tons (and I do mean tons) of low lvl things. With some mods (or without them, maybe,) you can smith an iron dagger, smelt it, and use the new ore to smith more, letting you craft a lot more without wasting materials.

Cheers.. Finished all three houses now time for the grind fest of making tones of rings and daggers. The joys.

Making iron daggers is cheap (if you dig your own ore) but it's not particularly fast any more*. Dwarven bows are my favourite - can be done for basically no money (Dwemer scrap plus mined iron), sell for a decent amount, give decent experience, and are plausible as things which would increase your smithing skill if it weren't just an abstract representation of 'has done lots of smithing' (i.e. they are quite complex in design and would require a lot more skill to create than yet another iron dagger). They also are good for enchanting as they are worth quite a bit and I believe you get better enchanting skill increase for a higher value base item. Really, the only reason *not* to use Dwemer bows is either not wanting to go into Dwemer ruins to get the free metal in return for killing skeevy Falmer or not wanting to take the Dwarven Smithing perk, as far as I can see.

*that is to say, I'm given to understand it used to be a good way to level up quickly as you got a disproportionate amount of 'XP' compared to other items, but that was patched and is no longer the case

Said to my self I wont use commands till I have finished the game from start to finish after that I'm down for trying all the cool mods ive seen and commands.

Cheers for the tips. Everyone above has been more than helpfull cheers.

my favourite way:
get the "ore convert" spell, mine/buy/get as much iron ore as possible, convert the iron ore to silver ore and the silver ore to gold ore (with the spell). then melt the gold ore to gold ingots and craft them to GOLD RINGS (!) or anything like that that requires JEWELS! (important because rings give the most smithing lvl up and the jewels even increase that)
Notes:
- ore convert requires standardly 88 mana per use
- this also works with silver (if you want to save mana) but then isnt that effective!
- if you dont kno where ore convert spellbook can be found, look in the wiki, because idk how the place where it is is named in english

[gnewna]

Worth saving some of the silver (transmute it, drop it on the ground/put it in a container) rather than turning it all to gold, because you'll probably have some jewels that only work with silver, and a silver garnet ring is, IIRC, worth more than a plain gold one.

It'll also level Alteration, depends if you are happy with that or not, of course.

The higher the value of the item, the more you level up!

If you are just interested in rewards and not the actual game, then learn how to use the creation kit. You can crack the game wide open with this in order to get your precious achievements...

If you do like playing the game, then um....doing the act increases the skill, you already know that, why want to get there faster? You don't want to die anythime soon, do you? So why the same for completing this game?

It is in Halted Stream Camp, a bandit camp/cave to the north of Whiterun (as the name suggests, follow the stream NW from the city to find it).

Spam daggers. Smithing takes an age. If you install a mod that lets you melt down scrap metal at a smelter that helps (collect all those otherwise useless clutter such as cooking pots, drinking mugs, etc and turn it all into useful ingots)

[Zee_]

As mentioned above, if you just want the skill and don't want to work for it, go into the creation kit, make a mod that lets you craft an item with a high value for little material cost. Profit.

Barring that there there are tons of mods that adds craftable items to the game. Some exclusively for the purpose of leveling smithing easily.

Myself, I made a mod (for myself) that let me craft a piece of jewelry worth 1,000 gold for a single leather strip. Its easy to do. About 100 leather strips later I went from 20 smithing to 100. I then dumped the strips in a respawning barrel so they would be destroyed, because I just wanted the skillups, didn't care about the money. After a playthrough or 2 I just want crafting skills maxxed ASAP with as little work as possible.

Daggers. And lots of em'.
