Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you the only NA smither who is even....92+? Madawc being the only other one who is even close. I can count the JP smithers on 1-2 hands too. It's probably the least populated craft on the server (sup as soon as I dinged 100 on bonecraft it was the new rage orz).
Yea I'm the highest NA. As far as JP here's a few that I can think of that are very active in the market
Sinobu (PLed 1-100 in about 2 weeks without selling a single thing on the AH)
Hoshinosupai
Carla
Jetcity
Various
Rocoinomocoi
Milkboy
Martin
Deepsrot
Ainsel
And of course, there are probably some which I'm forgetting.
I don't know how this compares with other crafts, but there are not as many profit synths as you might think in Smithing, and the ones that are there can only handle a very few people in that market. It's not impossible to make money in Smithing right now, it's just hard.
Like someone mentioned earlier, Gully +1 and Misericorde +1 are hard sells now, although they do occasionally still sell. The RNG nerf made Hellfire +1 and Musketeer Gun +2 a hard sell. HQing Hachiman stuff is probably lucrative, but depends on those mystery subcrafts. Kampf market is totally shot there's always 8-10 of every piece up at any given time. Would be nice if they could put about 4-5 pieces of armor/weapon that caps in the low 70s that is -really- good for its jobs.
