Blacksmithing Guide 1-375

Furious · 2020-01-07T00:00:00Z

Blacksmithing is one of the most valuable professions in all of WoW. It allows players to craft their own mail and plate armor as well as one and two-handed maces, axes, and swords. While in Vanilla, Blacksmiths were able to craft a number of high-value, endgame recipes, Blizzard has chosen to greatly expanded that in TBC. Once Blacksmiths cap, they’ll be able to begin sequences that end in crafting gear like Bulwark of Ancient Kings and Embrace of the Twisting Nether or weapons like Bloodmoon, Dragonstrike, and Blazefury as well as a vast number of BoE epics like Oathkeeper’s Helm and Hammer of Righteous Might. To complement this, Blizzard has added to the existing specialization, Armorsmithing. The value of Armorsmithing has increased. Most smiths choose Mining as their gathering profession, as Blacksmithings huge potential can also come with a huge price tag, if you choose to buy your materials on the AH. This combination is suitable for most classes that wear Mail and Plate armor, regardless of spec, though it is especially beneficial for Tanks and Melee DPS. Trainers Vanilla Since Patch 2.3 Blizzard has streamlined the process for training most professions. As a result, trainers in any major capital can teach you from Apprentice through Artisan. Because the only recipes you’ll need to acquire before heading to Outlands are in Gadgetzan, it would be the most advantageous to train in a capital in Kalimdor if you’re power leveling, but this isn’t required. Outland Once you cross through the Dark Portal, the Master Blacksmithing trainers will be in your faction’s first outpost in Hellfire Peninsula. This means Alliance smiths will need to find Humphry in Honor Hold, and Horde players will speak with Rohok at Thrallmar. There are also additional trainers from both the Aldor and Scryers once you reach Shattrath. In Aldor’s Rise, any player with the appropriate reputation can learn from Onodo, and Barien will do the same in the Scryer’s Tier.

After you’ve ground enough stones to reach at least skill level 50, go train Journeyman. 65 - 75: Coarse Sharpening Stone Sharpen Coarse Stone into Coarse Sharpening Stone. 75 - 100: Coarse Grinding Stone Grind Coarse Stone into Coarse Grinding Stone. 100 - 105: Silver Rod Combine Silver Bar and Rough Grinding Stone to make Silver Rods. 105 - 125: Rough Bronze Leggings Convert Bronze Bar into Rough Bronze Leggings. Once you’ve completed making the leggings, return to a trainer to learn Expert. 125 - 150: Heavy Grinding Stone Grind Heavy Stone into Heavy Grinding Stone. 150 - 155: Golden Rod Combine Gold Bar and Coarse Grinding Stone into Golden Rods. 155 - 185: Green Iron Leggings Combine Iron Bar, Heavy Grinding Stone, and Green Dye to make Green Iron Leggings. 185 - 200: Golden Scale Bracers Convert Steel Bar and Heavy Grinding Stone into Golden Scale Bracers. 200 - 210: Solid Grinding Stone Grind Solid Stone into Solid Grinding Stone. 210 - 215: Golden Scale Bracers Continue turning Steel Bar and Heavy Grinding Stone into Golden Scale Bracers. 215 - 235: Steel Plate Helm Convert Steel Bar and Solid Grinding Stone into Steel Plate Helm. When you’ve finished forging your helms, you’ll have enough skill to become an Artisan Blacksmith. The path between 235 and 275 offers you a number of choices. The most efficient is to craft Mithril Spurs. To do so, you’ll need Plans: Mithril Spurs, a rare world drop. If you have not found it yourself or do not feel like trying to farm for it, you can search the Auction House. If it is unavailable, there are still other options available. 235 - 250: Mithril Spurs Turn Mithril Bar and Solid Grinding Stone into Mithril Spurs. 250 - 260: Dense Sharpening Stone Sharpen Dense Stone Dense Sharpening Stone. 260 - 275: Mithril Spurs Continue turning Mithril Bar and Solid Grinding Stone...

Just a little suggestion for leveling from 260-270.
By 260, Mithril Coif (and Mitrhil Spurs too, I imagine) is green, where attempting to gain 10 skill points off a green item is quite difficult: I managed to get 5 skill points after creating only 5 Mithril Coifs, and thought, well, let's just continue. I ended up creating probably 15 more (150 Mithril Bars) to only get 2 skill points.
I did some research and despite not being able to learn Plans: Imperial Plate Bracers until 270 skill, you can learn Plans: Imperial Plate Belt from 265 skill (both quests become available from the NPC in Gadgetzan at 265).
So, in the interest of time, and gold if you're buying bars off the AH, I'd recommend to buy the plan for the belt at 265 and make those until 270 if you're having trouble with the Mitrhil Coif/Spurs.
Just a suggestion, hope this helps anyone struggling at this point.
