WoW Wotlk Classic Blacksmithing Guide

Welcome to the comprehensive WoW Classic WOTLK Blacksmithing guide that will show you how you can level up your blacksmith profession, about the best races and specialisation, and at last the best weapon a blacksmith must have. Let’s start.

Blacksmithing is a valuable and lucrative World of Warcraft profession. Plate, mail, axe, mace, sword, and shield users can manufacture their own gear. Ulduar and ToC drop some of the best BoE plate smithing patterns. Smiths can make profitable gear additions.

At level max, tanks can create Titansteel Shield Wall, Indestructible Plate Girdle, and Saronite Swordbreakers. Spiked Titansteel Treads and Titanium Razorplate are for DPS, while Brilliant Titansteel Treads are for healers. These will help any spec prepare for harder raids. All smiths can make Eternal Belt Buckle and Titanium Weapon Chain, which are offered on the AH.

Mining is associated with Blacksmithing because it gathers expensive resources. Despite sharing the same raw mats as Engineering, at level 450 the cost of materials is often exorbitant if you don't gather them yourself, but the price you can sell created goods for is nearly always worth it.

Blacksmithing, like other professions, gives players two ways to specialise their crafting skills: Armorsmithing and Weaponsmithing.

Choosing was very important in Vanilla and TBC, but with the release of WotLK, Blizzard has made it much less important. The choice is most useful when you are levelling, since each can make good level 78 gear, or when you want to make gear for alts or twinks with lower levels.

Armorsmithing, as the name suggests, is mostly about making mail armour and plate armour. Horde smiths need to find Aturk the Anvil in Orgrimmar and take The Old Ways to start the chain.

Grumnus Steelshaper in Ironforge makes The Art of the Armorsmith, which is the same thing for the Alliance. Armorsmithing in WotLK lets players make the Legplates and Chest Plates of Conquest.

At first, Weaponsmithing was split into three sub-fields: Axe Smithing, Hammersmithing, and Swordsmithing. Even though these differences are still important if you want to make vintage gear, they aren't as important as they used to be. This is similar to how specialisations have become less important over time.

All gear made after TBC that requires the Weaponsmithing specialisation does not require you to have chosen between Axe, Hammer, and Sword.

Find Borgosh Corebender in Orgrimmar and start The Way of the Weaponsmith to start the general Weaponsmithing chain. Talking to Ironus Coldsteel in Ironforge is the first step of The Way of the Weaponsmith for the Alliance.

In WotLK, the Weaponsmithing skill lets players make the Corroded Saronite Edge, the Corroded Saronite Woundbringer, and the Saronite Mindcrusher.

After skill level 440, you can cap in two ways. First, craft Daunting Legplates till 445, then epic gear. While this saves time and gold on resources, epic gear may be worth the cost.

To achieve 450, construct epic goods. This is achievable and profitable if you work smartly. Focusing on the cheaper epics will help you cap faster.

The epic armour, shield, and Titansteel Spellblade require the following materials. From here, it's up to you to analyse your server's economy and determine which will have the highest payout when constructed.

440 – 450: Epic Armour: Keep farming for Daunting Legplates and some epic gear.

Level 450 unlocks a new tier of epic armour. These sets require Runed Orb from Ulduar or Crusader Orb from ToC, while earlier components required Frozen Orb from Heroic dungeons.

Both sets of gear are BoE and may be sold on the AH to plate wearers looking to level and start up before raiding.

To make things with blacksmithing, you need to use a stationary Anvil. There are many Anvils in Northrend, most of them in the larger towns. Most of the time, there will be anvils near Blacksmithing or Engineering trainers.

A Hammer is also needed by blacksmiths. Even though you don't have to wear it, it must be in your inventory.

You will also need to farm a lot of other things to make Blacksmithed items. Most of these items can be found through mining, but a few can be found through other jobs, drops, or vendors. If you don't know how to mine, you can buy the materials you need at the Auction House or buy WotLK items you need from our site..
