Smithing error
 

I'm trying to create high quality metal rings. My smithing skill is 115, and I have all the correct components in a forge - a large brick of high quality ore, a file, and a flask of water. Every time I try to combine the items, I get a "cannot combine these items in this container type!" error message. I'm sure this recipe is from classic eq, so what's the problem?

Tradeskill combine problems are generally database issues. If you are playing on a public server, you should report it on the message board for that particular server.

You mention Classic EQ, which to me suggests you may be playing on P1999, their forums are here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/index.php

If you are running your own server, using the PEQ database, then report it on the PEQ forums: http://www.peqtgc.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=16
