WoW Blacksmithing Guide

This is a World of Warcraft Blacksmithing Guide that explains how to own up from levels 1 to 300. You won't be able to do it without a ton of gold, so you'll want to check out this guide before you get started.

Blacksmithing is one of the most expensive professions to skill up with. It can be very painful to just 'go into blind'. By this, I mean you would find yourself spending a lot of time pondering what to craft next. You would also find yourself running back and forth to the Auction House all day. This guide provides you a method to get Blacksmithing from 1-300 as easily as possible. You should purchase the blacksmithing materials below over a few days (so you don't have to pay outrageous prices) and then have at it.

Remember, for each crafting where it says "craft X items" you may have to continue blacksmithing this item until you reach the required level. Good luck power leveling Blacksmithing!

Blacksmithing Materials

As with most guides I provide, below, a list of optimal (best case) materials and recommended materials. If you're cheap, only purchase the number on the left, if you want to make sure this all happens quickly without running back to the Auction House, purchase the number of materials on the right.
