In Outland, the Master trainers will be in your faction respective starting area. To reach Artisan, all smiths will need to find Brikk Keencraft in Booty Bay both factions should receive a quest leading them to Brikk if they have not found him organically. Both of these trainers can take players up to Expert (skill level 140). To begin leveling, Alliance players should speak to Bengus Deepforge in Ironforge, and the Horde should find Saru Steelfury in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar. Leveling with him will give you proximity to an Auction House should you choose to buy any materials or sell any of your crafted items. If you are leveling at the level cap, or when you have access to Dalaran, you’ll want to find Alard Schmied. All trainers in Northrend will be able to teach you the preceding recipes required to complete 1 – 450 as cheaply and as quickly as possible, unless otherwise noted.

Despite sharing the same raw mats as Engineering, as you reach skill level 450, the cost of materials will often be quite high if you do not gather them yourself, but the price you can sell the crafted items for is almost always worth it. Mining is the gathering profession usually paired with Blacksmithing, as it offers the opportunity to gather what could otherwise be costly materials. All smiths can also craft Eternal Belt Buckle and Titanium Weapon Chain, both of which can be sold on the AH and are often in high demand. All of these will enable you, regardless of spec, to get closer to tackling more difficult raids. DPS can create Spiked Titansteel Treads and Titanium Razorplate while healers can make Brilliant Titansteel Treads or Treads of Destiny. Smiths are also able to craft useful - and profitable - additions to gear.Īt the level cap tanks can craft items like the Titansteel Shield Wall, Indestructible Plate Girdle, and the Saronite Swordbreakers, which are vital to increasing item level. In endgame content, like Ulduar and ToC, smithing patterns drop for some of the best BoE plate items available. It gives plate and mail armor wearers as well as axe, mace, sword, and shield users all the opportunity to craft their own gear. Blacksmithing can be one of the most useful and profitable professions in all of World of Warcraft.
