You don't need to cheat yet. Tier 1 javelin gives a ridiculous amount of XP. It is currently an exploit. Also the tier 1 pike two handed polearm is better than most polearms that are not lances until tier V I think. These both may just have been tiered wrong.Hm, I use Tweaks for no smithing cap and faster exp gain. Does this count as cheating? I just hate grinding and very love smithing.
