Hey guys, sooo i feel like i kinda stuck myself between a rock and a hard place but wondering what you guys think i should do.

So here is my story: I started a while back with some friends whom i figured wouldn't have as much play time as myself so i made a troll shadowknight (yay regen). I started to get ahead of them and so i decided "heY! i'll take up smithing and work the economy a bit to fund it and that will give them a chance to catch up and get me some nice armor" they never did and quit so i'm the only one left... At this point my troll sk is level 28 and has 162 skill in smithing... so i was like "ohh, let me make some cultural armor!" ... that's when it hit me. I'm a troll shadowknight with innoruuk as my diety and trolls don't have a cultural armor and the ogre armor doesn't have an Innoruuk version... SO now i'm like is there somethign i am missing? another smithed thing i could make? should i just stop smithing because it can't help me beyond fine plate and look to upgrade from drops? or is there another option that i haven't thought of? I'd just remake if i wasn't already so invested in this character. Hoping you guys have some suggestions or opinions.

I feel your pain man. On live back in the day my Half-elf paladin had 184 skill in blacksmithing when the much anticipated and grotesquely misnamed cultural armor was introduced ("Hey Verant, cultural is not a synonym for racial you sad ignorant twats!") Others have posted the sad details of how little value you can get out of your skill (altho the RP idea could be fun, of course.) If you like the character, play on and don't sweat it. If you want to play a different tank make him a set of armor and twink!

Oh, one wrong detail above, Antonian Javelins are racial smithing and can be crafted only by humans, they are made in the Royal Forge in Qeynos. Ordinary javelins can be made by any blacksmith in any normal forge.
