Kalb,
I must agree entirely with my esteemed fellow adventurer Zeth.
That said, I would focus on honing the skills of which you feel you will need during your time as an adventurer. Myself I find I only have need of a Blacksmith for the odd job or repair of armor. And this is why I have directed my time to learning the arts of martial combat.
I do know that my late time in Ceriopolis, there was a defined need of a skilled blacksmith for a number of persons. Mostly as Zeth made mention.. in need of filling of quivers.
If you indeed plan on mastering the skills of the Forge, I would like to speak to you about a possible business venture down the road.
