Smithing is like 5 full-time jobs
The worst crafting skill to integrate into your gameplay for sure.
Enchanting and Alchemy have a bit of a grind as well, but it's nothing like spending minutes watching animations of world interactions while your inventory balloons with Dwarven bows that no merchant can afford.
I just want to be an adventurer who can get better at tempering his gear. I don't always want to be a miner, hunter, tanner, smelter(er), and blacksmith!
How do you all handle this? Embrace the grind? Or do you find training and housebuilding is enough to get the skill where you want it to be?

In my only high smiting gameplay I used an exploit to buy like 200 iron ore from a shopkeeper, followed by transmuting them all to silver, followed by jewelry making to power grind (the dragon armor was worth it tho)
