My math even though I completely guessed the prices was only 1 gold off. If you for some reason had to buy leather it would only cost you 14 gold a piece to make iron daggers. Your shitty bracers cost 48 gold a piece.
48g vs 14g. Are you high? Are you for some reason thinking iron daggers take normal leather instead of leather strips? Because even if that was the case your stupid fucking bracers would STILL cost more.
Why are you even defending this method?
Also just rolled a new char for my LP. Hour something into the game, level 8 with 50 smithing. Probably spent less than 300 gold on my smithing. My methods clearly aren't working.
