This is simply a small question thread, as I couldn't find the answer anywhere else, but what level in smithing do you start making artifacts instead of normal equipment? The last level or the one before?
The artifact recipes are secret, so the min skill level required depends on the artifact recipe you've found.
There are, if you're lucky, artifact recipes as low as level 2 (Omnipotent Pork Sword, Golden Axe, Nailboard Mk II)
Ah, I was under the impression that once your smithing skill was maxed out you would turn normal crafts into randarts. Huh, turns out I'm incorrect.
