Seeking advice with blacksmithing on an Ogre Warrior

[Abominog]

I have an ogre warrior blacksmith on red. Current skill is about 175?

I figured I wouldn't bother skilling it any further, or maybe just a little further. The reason is that the cultural temper for ogre armor is far easier/cheaper compared to say the high elf temper. You just need human/elf/dwarf blood. If you're on blue you can find stacks of that on vendors anywhere there is a popular hunting spot for those NPC types. So the cost of failures isn't that bad.

If you've trivialed the highest banded items you're probably good enough to make the ogre cultural. It is probably still cheaper than skilling up on plate anyway.
