Blacksmith question

Does the level of difficulty of the item seem to make a difference?

For resources savings, could i just make arrowheads instead of platemail boots and receive the same skill gain?

I understand I can't smelt arrow heads and thus being a bit more costly, but I'm trying to figure out if making 1 item vs another creates better skill gain?

Any information would be helpful

 

What you make doesnt make a difference.

The higher the XP pool, the more you gain - Regardless of what you make.

I do *NOT* Agree with this system, and its so silly its bound to be changed eventually - but use it while it last

 

What you make don't affects how much from xp pool thats transfered to the skill
However it affects how much crafting experience you gets from crating the item.

I belive that the first time you craft a item you get a certain value and that value drops the more you do down to perhaps 20% of the first
