Hello, and welcome to my full list of Blacksmith leves! I personally may be a big fan of repeatable tradecraft leves, but that just isn’t some people’s style — and it’s not uncommon for it to be easier to take on a normal tradecraft leve than their repeatable counterparts.
There are three types of tradecraft leves, all here and ready for you to pick and choose!
(This list has had all of the XP rates updated and new leves have been added. Thank you for your patience!)
The list here is fairly straightforward, but there are some things that need to be explained:
- The base experience gain is listed. You will receive double the base experience for HQ turn-ins. Normal quality turn-in rewards are marked as NQ and high quality turn-in rewards are marked with HQ.
- Triple turn-in/charity leves have the triple turn-in rewards in parenthesis with an asterisk next to them.
- Repeatables are listed here and can be turned in three times on a single leve. Turning in high quality items is absolutely recommended. You can check out my Repeatable Tradecraft Leves Guide for more information on this process.
- Some zones have multiple levemetes. If the one listed isn’t at the levemete you are currently at, check with the other one.
- ‘Constancy’, ‘Charity’, and ‘Ingenuity’ mark the type of leves these are.
- ‘Constancy’ means both the levemete and turn-in NPC are in the same area. These are marked with (C).
- ‘Charity’ means the leve can be turned in three times (also known as a repeatable leve). These are marked with (T).
- ‘Ingenuity’ means the levemete and the turn-in NPC are in separate areas. These are marked with (I).
With that all out of the way, good luck to you in your smithing endeavors!
