Don't waste your time if...
...you already know how to make good White Smiths.
...you just came here to look for mistakes.

Commands that you will need:
@warp <- Warps you.
@go <- Warps you to a town.
@whereis, whodrops, iteminfo, mobinfo <- Shows you informations about the item/monster you're looking for.

II - Best Whitesmith Build
III - Skill build
IV - Items for rich/poors
V - Pros, Contras for class and equip (will add equip later)
VI - Finding items for upgrading and forging
VII - Legend
VIII - Credits
IX - Helpful Links

First of all you have to make a char. xD
There are two starting builds, the PvP White Smith build and the Pure Forger build.
NOTE: Get your AGI/STR/DEX full first, with both classes, it will really help you with leveling...

PvP White Smith ~
STR 1
AGI 9
VIT 1
INT 1
DEX 9
LUK 1

Pure Forger ~
STR 1
AGI 1
VIT 1
INT 1
DEX 9
LUK 9

Novice
Lv. 1-30 and Job Lv. 1-10 Warp to @warp prt_fild01, kill a Poring to reach Job Lv. 10, go back to Prontera and talk to the Job Master, become a Merchant, after that kill Porings untill your Lv. is over 30.

Merchant
Lv. 31-70 and Job Lv. 1-50 First of all I suggest you to reach Job Lv. 40, it's easier. The Hidden Temple (prt_maze01) is a great place to level untill 99, if a Hunter Fly comes, just @jump away, after you've reached Job Lv. 40, warp to Prontera and talk to the Job Master, after that, hit Blacksmith. Congratulations, you're a Blacksmith now! :3

Blacksmith
Lv. 71-99 and Job Lv. 1-50 This time you HAVE to reach Job. Lv. 50, so get back to prt_maze01 and keep killing monsters there, try to find the Wolves, they give great EXP, if you're like level 80, try killing Argiopes with Mammonite, get back to Prontera once again and reborn.

Reborn, Novice
Lv. 1-30 and Job Lv. 1-10 See the first step. [Novice]

Reborn, Merchant
Lv. 31-70 and Job Lv. 1-50 This time you should wait untill Job Lv. 50 to save Job Points later. See the second step. [Merchant]

White Smith
Lv. 71-99 Job Lv. 1-XX Go to the Hidden Temple again and level there untill Lv. 99.
Lv. 100-140 Job Lv. XX-XX Warp to the third level of the Hidden Temple (prt_maze03) and kill monsters there untill you reach level 120. Now warp to Guild Dungeon of Payon (gld_dun01) and level until 140.
Lv. 141-170 Job Lv. XX-XX Warp to Thor's Volcano Dungeon (Warning: If your ASPD is not on atleast 190 now, go change your stat build at the black market.) Level 1 (thor_v01) and kill Fire Imps, you should might try to kill a Kasa. :3
Lv. 171-254 Job Lv. XX-120 Whew, almost done huh? Okay it's gonna get a bit harder now. Warp to the third level of Thor's Volcano Dungeon (thor_v03) and kill Salamanders and Sword Guardians, try to stay away from Bow Guardian, they're just annoying and don't give much EXP.

Congratulations! You're a maxed out White Smith now.

Xilence's leet tips for poors:
-use an Ice Falchion to kill the monsters fast
-loot the Accessory that Bow Guardians drop, it's called Orlean's Glove
-use a Lucius' Fire Armor
-loot items to get Zeny for your stat reset

Xilence's leet tips for richs:
-use a Magic Kettle
-use a(-n) Ice Pick/Thana Card with Box Of Storms and Cart Terminate them to hell
-use Saphien's Water Armor
-take Yggdrasil Berries with you

As I was saying, there are two builds for a White Smith, I tested them and can proof that they're quite good.
Let's start up with the PvP White Smith build.

STR 200 - For a nice atk
AGI 200 - For Cart Termination Spammage
VIT 50 - Smiths usually got a very low HP.

LUK 33 - For a few crits and Dodge.

Note: You don't have to add LUK, but add the points to your vit.

Now the Pure Forger build.

STR 200 - For carrying items
AGI 64
VIT 1
INT 1
DEX 200 - You need it for better Forging Chances
LUK 200 - You need it for better Forging Chances aswell

The PvP build should be like that
10 Mammonite
1 Cart Boost (Platinum Skill NPC)
1 Change Cart (Platinum Skill NPC)
5 Hammer Fall
5 Adrenaline Rush
5 Weapon Perfection
5 Maximize Power
5 Power-Thrust
5 Maximum Over Thrust
10 Cart Termination

Now the Pure Forger build
1 Hilt Binding
10 Weaponry Research

5 Enchanted Stone Tempering
5 Reseach Oridecon
3 Smith Dagger
3 Smith Sword
3 Smith Brass Knuckle
3 Smith Mace

3 Smith Axe

Cart Termination info Table


Xilence's leet tips for both:

Xilence's leet tips for everyone:
-use these Databases: Rate My Server if you're english and Rocards if you're german.
-Google helps you if you can't find an item in one of the upper Databases Click me.

Pros
-ultimate ownage with Cart Termination
-making money easy and fast by upgrading items
-got the Vending Skill
-has a great hit/atk bonus

Contras
-making a good White Smith is quite expensive
-you're getting owned with a low vit, just like with a high vit
-forging/upgrading fails -> money waste
-paying Zeny for special skills

Item that you will need for forging/upgrading:
Oridecon -> Best map is jupe_core
Elunium -> Best map is jupe_core
Steal -> Best map is juperos_01
Flame Heart -> Best maps are thor_v03 and mag_dun01
Star Crumb -> Best map is alde_dun04
Mystic Frozen -> Best map is ice_dun03
Rough Wind -> Best map is abyss_dun02
Great Nature -> Best map is thor_v02

Xilence's leet tips:
-click here for further forging information
-click here for refining infos (use the google translator to understand the language if you're not german. xD )

-> Best map

Blue highlighted textes tell you codes to use with @warp.
You can use green highlighted textes with the command @go.
If you need any information about an item or monster, use @whereis, whodrops, iteminfo, mobinfo, monsters and items are highlighted with a red color.
Italic words/textes express that it's not a 'must do' or just a tip for making leveling/collecting/fightning easier.

Nice guide dude, i've never been to Whitesmith class or Mastersmith class, but this guide is interesting. I'll make a WS and try these builds.

[Toad]

Sweet, nice guide.

[Persikka]

Great guide Xilence! :3 But, you should make the equip list have 2 x Megingjard as accersorys.

[Xilecne]

Oh..I wasn't thinking about Megs. 8D...My bad. Thanks.
Gonna edit ok. :3

[Corias]

What are ring of four lords?

And don't forget that you can do ungodly amounts of damage with cart term and an ice pick/thana. Show those stupid pallies who's boss >E

[Toad]

What what what? Geez... the center thingy makes it all messy now. Shame on you...

[Xilecne]

As I was saying, I'm gonna make the guide a bit better tomorrow, also I'm gonna add a link to a guide for the Ring Of The Four Lords.

That ring give you +4 to all stats, both give +8.

[LeoGuardian]

This puts my "Ultimate" guild to hela shame o_O

[Corias]

I know this is probably asking too much, but would you do a slight breakdown of the equipment, like the pros and cons?

I was wondering simply because I figured that most whitesmiths with cart term would be much more interested in putting a thanatos, 2 TGs, and a valk randgris in the weapon to max damage.

[nosferatu]

nice guide, its a big help for me

[Chadwick]

Nice guide!
I stand amazed by your banners.

[E I E I O]

Not a pro, but you might wanna start with 9 str too.

Also, I believe cart term delay is based on aspd. So with 195 aspd, it'd be the same at with kiel, and thus you don't need 200 agi. Also, hammer fall is sexeh against flee whores.

[Y u k i O]

Very nice guide o:

[skip]

Thanks for the thorough guide, Xilecne. O.O To be honest, blacksmith was always one of the most confusing classes, to me...both to level and pvp/woe with, but this guide (esp. leveling guide and skill builds) helps a LOT. I might actually try to max my ws sometime soon...:3 Maybe when I get a bit more zeny, lol.

Btw, how does Cart Termination's damage get calc'd? o.O I've heard you need full cart weight? Or is that for another skill? ;_; *ish confused*

[E I E I O]

You need a full cart. It's like (Cart weight / 6 or 8) x Atk or something. You can have elements on CT, not to mention ice pick works on it too -I think-. It's an uber sexeh class if creators would stop giving FCP to everyone they see.

[Corias]

It usually ends up being calculated like 1000, so if you have 8000 weight, it's divided by 8, 10k, 10, etc.

Ice picks do indeed work with CT. Supposedly its a glitch they havent fixed, but I think that if it's been working since day one that it's an intended glitch.

Just like how Thanatos will work with CT. Which is just nasty, with TGs and (maybe?) a valk randgris.

I've seen people getting hit for 200k because they have lots of +'d gear on rates like this (but obviously the damage is lower, it had a hp cap and most mages had 50k hp, not 300k).

Well I'll make it later~ :3
I'm gonna finally finish the guide first. XD

[Fire_Dragon]

Nice guide for those who wanting to become a WS

FYI, I'm raising my WS from 100-150/160something (sorry I forgot the exact level) at abyss_02 and abyss_03 with a +10 Heart Breaker (from Imp at thor_v02) and go to thor_v03 with some Box of Storms
Addtional note: my WS is a forger who got a full dex and luck.

._. ...I fail at WS.

I was using that, thana/tg/vrand/hydra in a +10 blade (sorry, not giving up GTB for a two-handed axe) and full cart weight and I did about...30k.

halp plz.
