I'd like to help, where do I send stuff?

Well, first of all, thank you! This is the reason AIE and the Craft Faire can even happen in the first place, people being generous with their time and/or gold.

Secondly, Blacksmithing uses bars. If you have ore to donate, please check out the Mining page for information on where to send the ore.

If you have anything in the list below and would like to donate it to be used in the Craft Faire, please send it to Treyvan, which is my (Elcarth's) goblin mage who has a guild bank for this very purpose. I would like to point out that any and all donations are gratefully accepted. Even if it's a couple bars, it's more than we had before, and thank you for your generosity!

We have a Google doc with what mats we have on hand, and what we are needing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao0XcsZkFA-RdFBsbDFjQ0g2Z3RqeVpWeDdvUERndUE&usp=drive_web#gid=0

Blacksmithing Leveling Guide 1 - 75

1 - 30 [Rough Sharpening Stones]x33 - 33 Rough Stone
30 - 65 [Rough Grinding Stones]x50 - 100 Rough Stone (Keep these)
65 - 75 [Copper Chain Belt]x10 - 60 Copper Bar


Journeyman Blacksmithing 75 - 125

75 - 90 [Coarse Grinding Stones]x40 - 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 [Runed Copper Belt]x10 - 100 Copper Bar
100 - 105 [Silver Skeleton Key]x7 - 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.
105 - 110 [Runed Copper Belt]x5 - 50 Copper Bar

You will need Tin Ore to make Bronze Bar, visit my Tin Ore farming guide if you want to farm the ores.

110 - 125 [Rough Bronze Shoulders]x15 - 75 Bronze Bar, 15 Coarse Grinding Stones


125 - 200

Expert Blacksmithing 125 - 200

125 - 140 [Heavy Grinding Stone]x35 - 105 Heavy Stone
   Keep the Heavy Grinding Stones. Make this one up to 150 if Heavy Stone is cheap.
140 - 145 [Rough Bronze Shoulders]x5 - 25 Bronze Bar, 5 Coarse Grinding Stone
145 - 155 [Patterned Bronze Bracers]x10 - 50 Bronze Bar, 20 Coarse Grinding Stone
   Make [Golden Skeleton Key] between 150-160 if you can get cheap Gold Bar.
155 - 165 [Green Iron Leggings]x10 - 80 Iron Bar, 10 Heavy Grinding Stone, 10 Green Dye
   Green Dye is sold by Tailoring and Leatherworking supply vendors. 
165 - 190 [Green Iron Bracers]z25 - 150 Iron Bar, 25 Green Dye
190 - 200 [Golden Scale Bracers]x10 - 50 Steel Bar, 20 Heavy Grinding Stone

Artisan Blacksmithing 200 - 300

200 - 210 [Solid Sharpening Stone]x20 - 20 Solid Stone
210 - 225 [Heavy Mithril Gauntlet]x15 - 90 Mithril Bar, 60 Mageweave Cloth
225 - 235 [Mithril Scale Bracers]x10 - 80 Mithril 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 [Mithril Coif]x15 - 150 Mithril Bar, 90 Mageweave Cloth
   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.
250 - 260 [Dense Sharpening Stones]x20 - 20 Dense Stone
260 - 275 [Thorium Bracers]x15 - 120 Thorium Bar
275 - 290 [Imperial Plate Bracers]x15 - 180 Thorium Bar
290 - 300 [Thorium Helm]x10 - 120 Thorium Bar, 10 Star Ruby


300 - 350

Master Blacksmithing 300 - 350

300 - 305 [Fel Weightstone]x7 - 7 Fel Iron Bar, 7 Netherweave Cloth
305 - 315 [Fel Iron Plate Belt]x10 - 40 Fel Iron Bar
315 - 320 [Fel Iron Chain Gloves]x5 - 25 Fel Iron Bar

415 - 420 [Tempered Saronite Gauntlets]x5 - 70 Saronite Bar
420 - 425 [Titanium Weapon Chain]x5 - 10 Saronite Bar, 5 Titanium Bar

425 - 500

Illustrious Blacksmithing 425 - 500

425 - 455 [Folded Obsidium]x78 - 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 [Stormforged Gauntlets]x1 - 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 [Obsidium Skeleton Key]x5 - 10 Folded Obsidium
480 - 489 [Stormforged Legguards]x3 - 6 Folded Obsidium, 24 Elementium Bar
489 - 494 [Fire Etched Dagger]x1 - 20 Elementium Bar, 12 Volatile Earth, 4 Volatile Fire
494 - 500 [Stormforged Helm]x2 - 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

Zen Blacksmithing 500 - 600

500 - 501 [Ghostly Skeleton Key]x1 - 1 Ghost Iron Bar
   This is an important step, don't skip it.
501 - 526 [Ghost-Forged Bracers]x5 - 25 Ghost Iron Bar
526 - 532 Make [Ghostly Skeleton Key] until you reach 526, if you start from 525.
   [Ghost-Forged Belt]x2 or [Ghost-Forged Gauntlets]x2 - 14 Ghost Iron Bar
532 - 544 [Ghost-Forged Boots]x4 - 28 Ghost Iron Bar
544 - 549 [Lightsteel Shield]x1 - 9 Ghost Iron Bar
549 - 559 [Spiritguard Shield]x2 - 18 Ghost Iron Bar
559 - 569 [Ghost-Forged Helm]x2 or [Ghost-Forged Breastplate]x2 - 24 Ghost Iron Bar
569 - 575 [Ghost-Forged Shoulders]x5 - 35 Ghost Iron Bar
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.
