Smith character. Was doing quite well until I made the wrong call to lure some orcs into a corridor, forgetting that they won't enter the corridor unless I"m low HP or if I aggravate them somehow.

I had a map around 150 feet where there were no stairs down. My guess is there was a secret door leading to the rest of the level somewhere, and my perception (6 or so due to a lot of perception ring finds) wasn't enough to root it out.

I ended up getting surrounded because I decided my best way to get out of that dead end was to find a potion of dexterity or quickness or something. Quaffed a potion of blindness instead and it failed my will check. Ran around in circles hoping I could run around them and get out, and got routed instead. Wishful thinking.

I think I got the idea down though. Artistry armorsmith is pretty solid. I've tried enchantment starts, jewelry starts, and even archer smith starts (not just for arrows but for bows as well), and I think the artistry start is strongest by far. Only issue is I would probably skip over enchantment later on, grab jewelry, and use that to reach artifice.

Though from my point of view, enchantment isn't worth it unless you're going for some niche builds in the first place. Armors of deflection/protection is inferior to artistry products. A +1 grace amulet or crown doesn't seem all that appealing either, considering dwarves have no easy way to restore grace (lembas). And gloves of the forge can be found on the dungeon floor semi-reliably without you having to invest 200 XP into it for nothing. So really, unless you were going for boots of speed, a gondolin weapon, a crown of brilliance, or early boots of free action, there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to go enchantment.

With regarding to smithing gloves in particular, if you want to hit 12 smithing early on, you can just sacrifice a bit of XP from melee/evasion. You can survive just fine by spawning the forge on 50 feet, and sneaking around instead of fighting everything. I don't think it has any major impact. You do lose 1100+1200 = 2300 XP, and you only save 200 XP, but when you get to your first forge, regardless of what you make, your odds of survival should skyrocket.

Oh, and orc thieves stole like half my inventory because I couldn't land a hit on him, and when I finally did, he bolted for the stairs. I guess that's what I get for starting with 1 DEX.

One of the big benefits of enchant is actually after you get Jeweller. Feanorian lamps of Brilliance

I see, haven't gotten far enough to make those or have need of them. I suppose if I had those, then song of the trees would be redundant. Song of aule doesn't really seem worth it unless you were going for other things in the song skill tree as well. Keen sense + that lamp would probably let you see most things in the game.
