WoW Blacksmithing Guide 1-450

This WoW Blacksmithing guide will show you the fastest and easiest way to level your Blacksmithing
skill up from 1 to 450. Updated for WoW patch 3.2
Blacksmithing is the best combined with Mining and I highly recommend to level Mining and
Blacksmithing at the same time, because you will need a lot of gold if you want to buy everything from
AH. It will take a lot of dedication to get to the end and get those epic items. Also, like other crafting
trades, the benefits only really start showing at the end, so this Blacksmithing guide will be a massive
gold drain all the way up to 450.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads
of gold. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide,
the best one is this 1-80 Leveling Guide

At skill level 200 and character level 40, Blacksmiths can choose to specialize as an Armorsmith or a
Weaponsmith. Weaponsmiths can later further specialize into Hammer-, Axe- or Swordsmiths. All
specialized armor and weapons are Bind on Pickup and can only be used by the blacksmith that made
them. Most specialization recipes require difficult components, such as Primal Mights, Primal Nethers,
and Nether Vortexes. If you want to read more about Blacksmith specialization, please visit these
pages: Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing.
• 205 - 210

15 x [Solid Grinding Stone] - 60 Solid Stone

15 x [Heavy Mithril Gauntlet] - 90 Mithril Bar, 60 Mageweave Cloth
• 225 - 235
10 x [Mithril Scale Bracers] - 80 Mithril Bar
This recipe is sold by these NPCs. There is around 30 minutes respawn rate for the recipe, if
someone bought it before you. Make [Steel Plate Helm] if you do not want to wait for the recipe
to respawn.
• 235 - 250
Check AH, if you can see the Mithril Spurs recipe and it's not that expensive, buy it and make
those until 255.
15 x [Mithril Coif] - 150 Mithril Bar, 90 Mageweave Cloth
 • 250 - 260
20 x [Dense Sharpening Stones] - 20 Dense Stone
• 260 - 275
15 x [Thorium Bracers] - 120 Thorium Bar

275 - 350
Go to Outland and learn Blacksmithing Master.
• 275 - 290
Between 275-280, you can make [Arcanite Rods] and sell them at the Auction House. This way
you will need 55 less [Thorium Bars]. The recipe is yellow, so it really depends on your luck,
maybe you will only need to make 5 maybe 10. One [Arcanite Rod] costs around 18 gold to
make if you buy the [Arcane Crystals] and find any Alchemist who transmute them into
[Arcanite Bars]. The 55 [Thorium Bars] cost around 140 gold usually, but this way if you have
to make only 5 [Arcanite Rod], you will end up around 90 gold spent, and you can also sell
them for profit. I can usually sell them for around 70-80 gold, but you have to be patient
because the demand for them isn't that big. Anyway this is a great way if you want to reduce the
gold spent while you level your Blacksmithing, but if you want to level the profession faster and
you don't really feel you are lucky or you are not really into selling things at the Auction House,
you should just make the Bracers mentioned below.
