Blacksmithing Leveling 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.

  10 x [Copper Chain Belt] - 60 Copper Bar

• 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 you should 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 more Copper Bars, or make a few more Coarse Grinding Stones.

• 90 - 100
  10 x [Runed Copper Belt] - 100 Copper Bar

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 Scale Pants] 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.

• 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 you might 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 Folded Obsidium, 10 Volatile Earth, 4 Volatile Fire

• 475 - 480
  5 x [Obsidium Skeleton Key] - 10 Folded Obsidium

  1 x [Fire Etched Dagger] - 20 Elementium Bar, 12 Volatile Earth, 4 Volatile Fire

• 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 is easier 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 Ghost Iron Bar

• 526 - 532
  Make [Ghostly Skeleton Key] until you reach 526, if you start from 525.

  2 x [Ghost-Forged Belt] or 2x [Ghost-Forged Gauntlets] - 14 Ghost Iron Bar

• 532 - 544
  4 x [Ghost-Forged Boots] - 28 Ghost Iron Bar

• 544 - 549
  1 x [Lightsteel Shield] - 9 Ghost Iron Bar

• 549 - 559
  2 x [Spiritguard Shield] - 18 Ghost Iron Bar

• 559 - 569
  2 x [Ghost-Forged Helm] or 2x [Ghost-Forged Breastplate] - 24 Ghost Iron Bar

• 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 A Celestial Experience (requires level 87). After you completed the quest, you can find Jorunga Stonehoof (Horde) in Shrine of Two Moons and 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 of Harmony by combining 10 Motes of Harmony. Motes are dropped by every mob in Pandaria, even in dungeons. The drop 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, it will give you more skill points. You will need between 58-64 Ghost Iron Bar.
