New Goldsmith Guide as of 04/2012 - NO GIL SINK

[Yves]

actually silver ingots are over level 20. the old recipe for silver ingots was 18 which was using nuggets.
so i planned to use this guide but may have to swap a few things around.

EDIT* jsut checked both zam and eorzeapedia
zam says silver ingots are 25 and pedia says 27, havent checked YG yet

Sorry for the delay in response. Silver Ingots are R25 meaning that you can attempt at 15 or 16 (can't recall if it's a 9 or 10 level gap.) Either way, you can do them very early. A 10 level gap isn't insurmountable.
