WoW Blacksmithing Guide

Hi There me and my friends have gone by trying to use this guide for BlackSmith and it doesnt work like wat is there for mats and such

I can assure you, unless you are insanely lucky you will need more than what is listed here, most places you will be grinding green level patterns in the hopes of getting skill points, the ones listed here are the minimum required if you somehow managed to get a point everytime.

Mithril Spurs is a drop recepie, is good to know

I've been trying to follow this guide and have been finding that I need alot more materials than is said. Some of the recipies that say they will get me to a certain level with that many materials go green before I'm though with them so I'll end up having to buy more mats.

It tells you exactly what the mats are.

This guide doesnt take into consideration reduced skill gain as the recipes go yellow then green. The quantities are all totally wrong.

but if u read it even says its not accurate i mean, its all on a roll syste if u get a lvl of a green item ur making and its a good way t lvl cause it consumes the smallest amount of mats to get t 375. i give it a A

I tried this ... and IMHO this doesnt Work ... if you follow this guide completely be prepared to buy 2-3x the amount of Bars Listed .... the biggest problem listed is the thorium plate bracers ... go imperial plate (10 thorium bars for the plans) and it has a good chance of taking you from 270 - 295 without missing a skill point (I only missed 1)

There is mistake about first 25 lvls of bs, there should be Rough Sharpening Stones instead of Coarse ones :)

i noticed the same so i tested it; It will work it you follow it by each one from lvl 1 blacksmithing, if oyu are already progressed in BSing then it throws the whole thing off. i started it at lvl 1 with my hunter and it works great, but my 70 warrior not so well, on top of that thi is mainly for an armorsmith, not a weapon smith like me. but ohh well it helps a little bit .

It doesn't work exactly with the listed mats. Reason: The guide assumes you will gaining a skill up each time regardless of the color of the item. Yellows will fail to give a skill up once in awhile, and greens will fail a lot fo the time.

DO NOT FOLLOW this guide... I lost so much time mining the mats and got stuck at 160, had to look for another guide.

Bad deal.

The ammounts shown are only an average, you might need a bit extra or a bit less in some of the cases. To always get the ones shown (cause its a % chance) you'd have to be VERY lucky

kthnxbye

that's whats listed, noobsauce

yea, this isnt that accurate...u need more mats than it tells you to, its rather annoying, after spending days gathering the crap

what is blizz thinking, 15 skill with blacksmithing from AH costs like 3000 gold ?

340-350 above - should read Lesser Ward of Shielding instead of Lesser Rune of Shielding. Purchase from vendor near forge in Wildhammer Stronghold.

heya i only saw one fault for the one who is scryer (only took a fast look) at the point when u get to 360 blacksmithing u can do khorium belt to level 370 it will be much cheaper if you buy the things and to 375 you make khorium boots that will be 50 khorium bars and 35 primal water/mana. much cheaper than getting 70 hardened adamantite bars, 220 arcane dust and 40 large prismatic shards. the only draw back is that u will need to farm for the plans still only take like 3 hours max and will save you a ton off cash.

some mispelling in items caused me some problems, plus the amounts needed are what it would be if every item you crafter was a red item lvling each one, in many cases they are green and they take multiple tries to lvl at all from them.

yeah there are also felsteel plans in auchenai crypts that only needs 6 felsteel bars (360 bs plans)

yeah something is wrong with this guide, telling me to make rough bronze leggings at the skill im at they're in gray text...

several items in list dont exist or have been r3moved
265- 275 mithril spurs exist but a rare drop
275 - item listed dont exist made thorium key / rod

hope this helps

It's a good path, but some info should be included like what items need plans...such as Mithril Spurs. Those plans are one of the hottest items on the AH and are hard to find. Also, there's no indication of when things turn yellow or green, so a lot of times, you get exactly the number of mats you need and end up leveling on half way to where you wanted to be.

it worked good for me until the heavy grinding stone part, it wasn't right for that

Its crap this one.. not even close on anything =(

Its crap this one.. does not work at all... =(

This guide is crap. Go elsewhere, nothing to see here

imba guide soon 375 bs

Big mistake I found in this is after 300. Instead of making Imperial sets at 300...make Fel set. I'd much rather use 4 bars of fel iron to up a skill point rather then mining 18 thorium nodes...

Yes they do exist...must find the plans either by drop or on AH for them though.

ALL of you complaining about the guide are NOOB RETARDS if you READ it, it says its the best case senerio and you probally need to make like 10-15 more. that being said if you need a guide that badly to lvl a trade skill you probally shouldn't be playing in the first place. I'd say this is more for someone who dropped a prof to pick up a bs for a bop weapon/armor(s) that you can make. or someone into saving moneys so they have it maxxed for what they need since they will power lvl and won't ever need anything from bs sides the 70 gears. so they can have money for their flyer once they get are 70.

great guide, I supose not for those who want it to have you make so many you get more skill ups and not optimize your crafting or farming. just think if it said to farm X thorium and you wasted so much time farming it because you are up to the outlands lvl now, supose you can use the thoriums to get as much skill ups. but reading what it actually says since it is a guide is the first thing you should do before you assume it will do every little thing for you. spending days farming isn't bad unless it is time played and not just a few days.

well starting to ramble on now, so yeah NOOBS, might as well pay some power lvling service to do it for you if you aren't going to do everything even 50% it didn't work I wonder why....I know I'll say it sucks just because I only looked at the mat tables and didn't read shit, if you can't train in it ofcourse its a recipe -_- I just hope most of you don't play on my faction side on the servers I play....

from 360 to 375 you should rather be making Felsteel gloves, the recipe drops from monks in Auchenai Crypts

Hehehehe!!!

Got Mithril spurs this weekend on a bid only auction.... for 2g!!!!!!

Was ALMOST tempted to put it back on AH for the 30ishg that it would sell for, but realised that selling the spurs would make me more money in the long run

How much will all this cost ?

If you morons had bothered to the read the introduction paragraph written by the author of this guide, you would have realized that he already warned that you would most likely need more mats than what was listed. As getting a skill point at yellow and green is probabilistic, there is really no good way to estimate how many mats you actually will need to level up, as such the author of this guide has stated that his numbers reflect the "best case scenario only." This is explicitly stated. So before bitching and whining, try actually reading. Here is the quote from the author at the top of the page:

"All the numbers are best case scenario, it is very unlikely that you will be able to, for instance, level from 216-225 by only making 10 Steel Plate Helms, you'll probably have to make 10-15. Since there is no way of knowing how many you will need to make to level up, I've provided numbers for both best-case and estimates. If you have a thriving economy, buy extras and sell back what you didn't use."

Yes, this guide maybe a little off since there is always a decreasing chance that you will gain another skill point but, everything listed has, without a doubt, the cheapest mats available, nothing here requires any special minerals for items. It's just straight stone and ore. If you are too cheap to afford these, you shouldn't be following this guide in the first place. If are willing to toss a little extra gold to buying an extra 20 stack or so, it's totally worth it.

So far im at level 150 BS
and i have to say i managed to level enchanting to about 260 for less gold
thought i was using the almost gaming enchanting guide of it :D.
this is costing a fortune and grinding out all the mats is prolly the best way to go just level a char at the same time

Level 76-100: 25 Coarse Grinding Stones = ABSOLUTELY WRONG ive made about 50 of them and im at level 97. Wowwiki here I come.

Actually i have read the intro, and still I don't think this guide helps much... it's misdirecting, would barely call this a blacksmithing guide.. more of a list of mats needed imo.. creds for trying to put something together, even tho it wasn't the best try...

This guide is useless. I dont even see the Green Iron set on here and Ive been using that for 160-185. Then you can start making the Green Iron Hauberk and you also gain the knowledge of Golden Scale Bracers. Complete garbage.

this guide is pure fail... somany mistakes, ffs dude, never write guides again.. ;))

The guide has worked pretty well for me, because I use it as just that - a GUIDE. Not "QQ I didn't get to 375 with the mats listed in the table!!" The recipes given here are some of the cheaper recipes that can add points. Maybe not the very cheapest in some cases, but again, it's a guide, not the final word in blacksmithing. If you think it sucks, go find another one, or better yet, figure it out yourself.

BTW, I farmed the mithril spurs recipe from sunken temple in like 30 min. Piece of cake at 70. The rest of the recipes I bought at the AH for under 10g.

IMO, a pretty decent guide. It got me there without too much headache.

I have skill 266 and Mithril Spurs are green ... so it's impossible reach 260 to 275 w. 60 mithril bars

I leveled up to 230 without any guides as it was pretty much obvious. Then I decided to check guides when things started to get difficult. Checked this guide and immediately found 3 mistakes. Mithril Spurs are listed for both level 236 and 261. And number of Thorium Bracers (5) is wrong. Also doesn't give a hint on how to obtain plans (trainer/drop/quest).

This guide is awesome.. took me straight to 360 blacksmithing... Now from 360 to 375 on my server it's going to cost 3.7k gold.... oh well

360-375 you can make Felsteel Gloves if u find the pattern, easy to make and nice to sell, only trouble is finding the pattern O.o
