Mists of Pandaria Classic Blacksmithing Profession and Leveling Guide

Blacksmithing is typically used by Plate armor wearers and those who utilize Physical DPS weapons, as the gear you can craft with Blacksmithing is very strong and some of the items you are able to make will be instantly Soulbound to the crafter. Mining is a great complement to Blacksmithing, as having Mining will allow you to farm the vast majority of materials you will need to both train and utilize Blacksmithing for crafted items in the endgame. Due to the amount of bars used to craft items near max skill level, it can get extremely costly very quickly; having mining greatly mitigates this cost.

Below is a "quick shopping list" of materials needed to level Blacksmithing up. This list is just an estimation, not an exact amount. Depending on your luck when crafting you may need more or less materials than what is listed here.
