MoP Blacksmithing Guide (1-600)

Approximate Materials Required for 1-600:

Important! If you don’t have mining and you are buying everything from the Auction House, you will only need
210 Copper Bars, 230 Iron Bars, and you don’t have to buy the Tin Bars.

Copper and Tin are used for making Bronze Bars, and the Iron is used for making the Steel Bars but you can only craft
them if you have mining.

Levels 1 – 75

  • 30 – 65
    50 x [Rough Grinding Stones]
    100 Rough Stone

    Keep these, and if Rough Stone is cheap, you should make this one up to 75.

Levels 75 – 125

Learn Blacksmithing Journeyman.

  • 75 – 90
    40 x [Coarse Grinding Stones]
    80 Coarse Stones

    Save the Coarse Grinding Stones and if you have a lot more Coarse Stone or it is really cheap, then youshould make this up to 100 and you can skip the next step.

    If you didn’t reach 90 by making these, you can still continue to the next step, but you will need a few moreCopper Bars, or make a few more Coarse Grinding Stones.

  • 100 – 105
    7 x [Silver Skeleton Key] – 7
    Silver Bar, 14 Rough Grinding Stone

    You can also skip this part and just make Runed Copper Belt if you don’t have any Silver Bar.

Levels 125 – 200

Learn Blacksmithing Expert.

  • 125 – 140
    35 x [Heavy Grinding Stone]
    105 Heavy Stone

    Keep the Heavy Grinding Stones. Make this one up to 150 if Heavy Stone is cheap.

Green Dye is sold by Tailoring and Leatherworking supply vendors.

Levels 200 – 300

This recipe is sold by these NPCs.
There is around 30 minutes respawn rate for the recipe, this means
you have to wait a bit if someone bought
it before you. Make [Mithril ScalePants] if you do not want to wait
for the recipe to respawn or check the Auction House and look for
[Plans: Heavy Mithril Pants]

  • 235 – 250
    Check the Auction House, if you can get the Mithril Spurs recipe and it’s not that expensive, buy it and make
    those until 255.

    15 x [Mithril Coif] – 150Mithril Bar, 90 Mageweave Cloth

  • 290 – 300
    Choose one from the recipes listed below. They both requires 12 Thorium Bar for each craft, the only difference
    between them is that you need 1 Star Ruby for the Helm and 8 Rugged Leather for the Boots.

    10 x [Thorium Boots] – 120Thorium Bar, 80 Rugged Leather

    or

    10 x [Thorium Helm] – 120Thorium Bar, 10 Star Ruby

Levels 300 – 350

  • 325 – 330
    10 x [Lesser Rune of Warding]
    10 Adamantite Bar

    If Adamantite Bar is cheap on your server you can make this one up to 335.

Levels 350 – 425

Visit your trainer and learn Blacksmithing Grand Master.

Make [Saronite Defender] or <arel=”nofollow” class=”rare” href=”https://wowhead.com/?spell=55013″>[Saronite Protector] if
Saronite Bar is cheaper than Cobalt Bar. </arel=”nofollow”>

  • 420 – 425
    5 x [Titanium Weapon Chain] – 10
    Saronite Bar, 5 Titanium Bar

    Alchemists can transmute 8 Saronite Bar into 1 Titanium Bar and this transmute doesn’t have a coolddown.

Levels 425 – 500

Visit your trainer and learn Blacksmithing Illustrious.

  • 425 – 455
    78 x [Folded Obsidium] – 156
    Obsidium Bar

    Stop making these when you reach 455, make more only if you need them. If you choose different recipes youmight need fewer than 78.

  • 455 – 459
    Make 4 from any recipe that requires 3 Folded Obsidium.

Almost all of the following items will give you multiple skill-ups per craft!

  • 494 – 500
    2 x [Stormforged Helm] – 40
    Elementium Bar, 16 Volatile Earth

    You can also make 2 x [Hardened Obsidium Helm] (8 Folded Obsidium, 30 Elementium, 12 Volatile Earth), but I think Elementium iseasier to farm than Obsidium.

Levels 500 – 600

  • 569 – 575
    5 x [Ghost-Forged Shoulders]
    35 Ghost Iron Bar

    You might need to make 6-8 of these if you are unlucky with the skill gains.

  • 575 – 600
    Once you reach 575 you can purchase vendor recipes for the last 25 points. The Blacksmithing recipes are on a
    vendor in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. You can enter Vale of Eternal Blossoms after completing the quest <arel=”nofollow” href=”https://wowhead.com/?quest=31394″>A Celestial Experience (requires level 87).
    After you completed the quest, you can find Jorunga Stonehoof (Horde) in Shrine of Two Moons and <arel=”nofollow” href=”https://wowhead.com/?npc=64085″>Cullen Hammerbrow (Alliance) in Shrine of
    Seven Stars.

    You’ll need 1 Spirit of Harmony to purchase a recipe and you only need one recipe. You can get Spirit ofHarmony by combining 10 Motes of Harmony. Motes are dropped by every mob in Pandaria, even in dungeons. Thedrop rate is low, so it may take you 2 hours to collect 10 motes.

    Choose one recipe from the Contender’s Armor recipes. It doesn’t matter which one because if one of them requires more Ghost Iron Bar, itwill give you more skill points. You will need between 58-64 Ghost Iron Bar.
