I had no int or wis gear when making stuff and I am not sure which stat would have helped me out.

For all tradeskills, you use either int or wis - whichever is higher. For smithing, you substitute str (if higher than int/wis) and for tailoring and fletching you substitute dex (if higher thanmint/wis). There's a
calculator on the eqtc website that you can play around with to see the actual effects of higher/lower stats. At 193 skill and 115 str, going for a trivial of 208, for example: getting my str to 182 with a str buff ends up doubling my chance of getting a skillup to about 10% - which is a big deal when dumping money on fine steel.
