for the recipe to respawn or check the Auction House and look for
[Plans: Heavy Mithril Pants]

• 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!

• 459 – 462
  1 x [Stormforged Gauntlets] – 6
  Folded Obsidium, 8 Volatile Earth

• 462 – 470
  Make 8 from any of the following items:

  [Redsteel Belt], [Stormforged Belt], [Hardened Obsidium Belt] -32 Folded Obsidium, 8 Volatile Earth

• 470 – 475
  [Obsidium Bladespear] – 12

  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.

• 500 – 501
  1 x [Ghostly Skeleton Key] – 1
  Ghost Iron Bar

  This is an important step, don’t skip it.

• 501 – 526
  5 x [Ghost-Forged Bracers] – 25

  Make [Ghostly Skeleton Key]

  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.
