blacksmithing is great. bod collection is easy and can result in great rewards.

If you want to do bods yes, to mine an sell ore no. Either make just a miner or make a pk and kill miners for ingots. more fun less productive

It's only worth it to repair your vanqs. As far as bods tailoring is better.
If ya want a cash machine/vanqs use a tamer... more fun, much much more of a sure thing... and waaaaay easier to make than 19 smiths. Plus you get actual GOLD not something that you need to put on a vendor and hope that it sells fast.
The people that say smith bods are ok are the ones that dedicate their UO life to only bods.
Now if you set your alarm for every three hours while you sleep, every night, then just a few smiths might work. I hope no one does this just for bods in UO but you know some do.
Like most people will tell you - tailoring is better... with smithing you get sooooo many weapon bods which are useless money losers to fill on uog and unless you have a ton of smiths you will have trouble even filling very many shadow iron armor large bods.
A Tamer or IDOC hunter is the way to go for fast cash - and it only takes one-two characters not 19.

As far as mining goes the way to do it is to recall from spot to spot. I mostly just mine Agapite-Valorite spots (don't use public runes mark your own, not hard). Even better is if your miner has a weapon skill - you can mine good ore spots AND fight decent monsters at the same time. Mining verite, say, as you fight efreets is a pretty lucrative alternative when you are bored with playing a tamer.

Re: blacksmithing worth it?
If you ask for filling BODs, most likely they are worth it, but since the majority of users have studded or leather armor due to dexterity loss, I don't think they are worth it for selling GM armor. I only use one blacksmith to make my equipment, not interested in BODs.

Re: blacksmithing worth it?
I definatly find blacksmithing worth it, but like what a lot of other people said, you have to put a lot of time into it..... etc.
But I seem to make a alright amount of money with my blacksmit/mining char, selling armour and weaps, and then selling iron ingots at 8gp piece. It all adds up.

Re: blacksmithing worth it?
Not really worth it for the amount of time you put into it. I can make a lot more doing idocs for ~5 hours a week than I could running 20 smiths. Plus you lose those char slots, so you can't play fun character.
