Detailed Walkthrough

Craft a Dagger

Take the iron ingot and the leather strips from the quest giver and then use the forge to create an iron dagger. As soon as the dagger is crafted, return it to the quest giver. Now they will ask you to sharpen the dagger with another iron ingot. Go to the grindstone and sharpen the iron dagger, and present it to the smith.

Craft a Helmet

Secondly, they will ask you to craft some leather. Go to the tanning rack and craft leather, and again speak to the quest giver. Now you have to create a hide helmet at the forge. Take the supplies you are given and use the forge to create the helmet, and then return to the smith.

Lastly, you have to temper the helmet. Use the workbench to improve the hide helmet further, and return to the quest giver to complete the quest. They will allow you to keep the helmet and dagger that you have created as a reward.

Bugs

• Do not try to sharpen the blade or temper the helmet before you are told to, as the objective can not be completed until then. You will need to get another iron dagger or hide helmet to complete it.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage TutorialBlacksmithing stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest TutorialBlacksmithing.
