First of all, welcome back.

I would suggest lowering AGI and DEX a little bit to get some VIT. IMO VIT is essential for leveling Blacksmiths, as they don't naturally have high flee even with Flee gears compared to Sins and Rogues. VIT is also needed for mobbing then using Cart Revo afterwards.

Ever since Renewal, I don't really know the point of using an Ice Pick anymore. The DEF nerf got to the point where a +5 Diligent Giant Axe on a Mastersmith does as much as a +4 Ice Pick with HSCR.

You could find leveling with Cart Revolution much easier than Mammoing in some places (like Harpies and Desert Wolves). Also, Cart Revo cannot miss, so that would be a huge advantage for leveling in the high levels.

Weaponry Research still does add Attack and Hit, although it doesn't show up in the status window like other Mastery skills.

Good luck

uhm can you liek give an example how much vit agi str dex should i have ?

currently im reading all the updates events that happened..

also is it worth buying a shackles & bloodied ball shackles for my merch? does it affect the damage of cart revo?

thanks for the tips.

Here's an example. AGI and VIT is up to you if you want one of them to be higher or about the same.

I haven't personally tried out Shackle+BSB, but I'm certain that it should increase Cart Revo damage.

Your DEX depends on how and where you'll level, so it's basically up to you. If you plan on Ctrl+Clicking, then you'll only need about 70+ DEX (80+ seems a lot considering it's only a Blacksmith, plus you have Weaponry Research to go along with it). If you plan on mobbing and spamming Cart Revo, you'll only need somewhere between 50-60 DEX, since it doesn't miss.

so if im planning to use mammonite & cart revo as a main leveling spell, total of 50-60 dex is enough right? also at a time i got +4 ice pick and a shackle set.. do you have some tips on equips?

thanks bro

48+12 (at Job Level 50) should be fine with max Weaponry Research, would be better if you could throw in a Bless.

As for equips, the Ice Pick might be useful, but I find using Maces or Axes better, so that I don't have to keep linking to get AAR. Other than the BSB+Shackle Combo, using a Medal of Honor or a Glorious Ring would be great. An Immune garment would be great, if you don't have one you can always stick with an Eden Manteau. Use a Glorious Suit if you have one, an Earth Deleter or Peco-peco carded armor would work as well. Rideword Hat procs with Cart Revo (I'm not sure if it works with Mammo though). If you still plan on using an Ice Pick and don't want to drag a linker around, use a Musketeer Hat.
