WoW Blacksmithing Leveling Guide 1 - 600

This WoW Blacksmithing guide will show you the fastest and easiest way to level your Blacksmithing skill up from 1 to 600. Updated for WoW patch 5.4

Blacksmithing is the best combined with Mining and I highly recommend to level Mining and Blacksmithing together because you will need a lot of gold if you want to buy everything from Auction House. Check out the Mining leveling guide if you want to level Mining.

It will take a lot of dedication to get to the end and get those epic items. Also, like other crafting trades, the benefits only really start showing at the end, so this Blacksmithing guide will be a massive gold drain all the way up to 600.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.

If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 90 in 7 days with this guide. Blacksmithing guide sections:

Apprentice 1 - 75 Journeyman 75 - 125 Expert 125 - 200 Artisan 200 - 300 Master 300 - 350 Grand Master 350 - 425 Illustrious 425 - 500 Zen 500 - 600

Approximate Materials Required for 1-600:

Important! If you don't have mining and you are buying everything from the AH, you will only need 230 Copper Bars, 230 Iron Bars and you don't have to buy the Tin Bars. Those are used for making Bronze Bars and Steel Bars, but without mining you can't make them, and you will have to buy them.

   10 x [Runed Copper Belt] - 100 Copper Bar
   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.

Visit your trainer and learn Blacksmithing Illustrious.

Farm your own ores by using my Obsidium Ore farming guide.

   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

Visit my Elementium Ore farming guide if you want to farm the ores.

   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 - 600

Visit your trainer and learn Zen Blacksmithing.

   500 - 501
   1 x [Ghostly Skeleton Key] - 1 Ghost Iron Bar
   This is an important step, don't skip it.

Check your Calendar in-game to see if the Darkmoon Faire is open, the event starts at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month.

You can gain +5 skill points by completing a single quest. Click here to read more about the quests.

   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.
