Blacksmithing in WoW Forever is a primary crafting profession focused on making mail and plate armor, weapons, sharpening stones, and unique utility items. In this guide we will recommend ways to level it as quickly and cheaply as possible in case you want to speed-level Blacksmithing!
Blacksmithing Leveling Guide from 1 to 225 in WoW Forever
To level Blacksmithing from 1 to 225, you'll use stone for your early skill points, then switch to weapons and armor. You can gather the stone and smelt your own bars with Mining. If you're deciding whether Blacksmithing is right for you, the overview below covers what you can make and who gets the most use out of it.
Materials Needed
The shopping list includes the raw stone for the grinding stones you'll
make along the way. Buy one 
Blacksmith Hammer and your 
Strong Flux
from a Blacksmithing Supplies vendor. You can buy 
Green Dye from Tamar in
Orgrimmar or Bombus Finespindle in Ironforge.
The materials column in each leveling table gives the total for that step. Once a recipe turns yellow or green, some crafts won't give a skill point. Stop at the skill shown unless you still need grinding stones for a later recipe.

Blacksmithing Trainers in WoW Forever
Blacksmithing has four trainable ranks, each of which increases the highest skill level that you can reach. You can learn the next rank before reaching your current skill cap, provided you meet both requirements shown below.
| Rank | Skill Cap | Blacksmithing Skill Required | Character Level Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apprentice | 75 | None | None |
| Journeyman | 150 | 50 | 10 |
| Expert | 225 | 125 | 20 |
| Artisan | 300 | 200 | 35 |
Use the buttons below to select a training rank, then your faction.
Each trainer appears under the highest rank they teach, and trainers
available to both factions are listed at the bottom of both faction tables.
You can copy a /mappin command into the game chat to place a
marker on your map.

Leveling Blacksmithing from 1 to 75
Start with 
Rough Sharpening Stones, then switch to 
Rough Grinding Stones
at 25. Keep the grinding stones until you reach 80. You'll need two for each
pair of 
Runed Copper Gauntlets and ten more if you make 
Silver Rods at 75.
Craft the gauntlets at an anvil with your Blacksmith Hammer.
At 50, start making 
Coarse Grinding Stones. You'll need 36 for
Patterned Bronze Bracers later. Once you've made all 36, check your
skill and make just enough gauntlets to reach 75.
| Skill Range | Item | Approximate Crafts | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 25 | Rough Sharpening Stone |
30 | 30× Rough Stone |
| 25 to 50 | Rough Grinding Stone |
30 | 60× Rough Stone |
| 50 to 67 | Coarse Grinding Stone |
36 | 72× Coarse Stone |
| 67 to 75 | Runed Copper Gauntlets |
8 | 64× Copper Bar 16× Rough Grinding Stone |
Leveling Blacksmithing from 75 to 150
Learn Journeyman Blacksmithing before crafting past 75. If you have ten
Rough Grinding Stones left, compare the price of one 
Silver Bar with ten
Copper Bars. If silver is cheaper, make five Silver Rods in place
of five 
Runed Copper Belts. For this option, buy five Silver Bars and
reduce the copper on your shopping list from 114 bars to 64.
Use your Coarse Grinding Stones for Patterned Bronze Bracers at
95. At 100, switch to 
Heavy Grinding Stones and keep all 20 for
Golden Scale Bracers at 175. Go back to the bronze bracers until 125, then make
Bronze Warhammers. Each hammer gives a skill point through 150.
| Skill Range | Item | Approximate Crafts | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75 to 80 | Runed Copper Belt |
5 | 50× Copper Bar |
| 80 to 95 |  Rough Bronze Leggings |
15 | 90× Bronze Bar |
| 95 to 100 | Patterned Bronze Bracers |
5 | 25× Bronze Bar 10× Coarse Grinding Stone |
| 100 to 112 | Heavy Grinding Stone |
20 | 60× Heavy Stone |
| 112 to 125 | Patterned Bronze Bracers |
13 | 65× Bronze Bar 26× Coarse Grinding Stone |
| 125 to 150 | Bronze Warhammer |
25 | 200× Bronze Bar 25× Medium Leather25× Strong Flux |
Leveling Blacksmithing from 150 to 225
Learn Expert Blacksmithing before crafting past 150, then keep making
Bronze Warhammers until 165. At 175, use the Heavy Grinding Stones you
saved to make ten pairs of Golden Scale Bracers.
Start making 
Heavy Mithril Gauntlets at 185. Each craft uses four
Mageweave Cloth and saves six Mithril Bars compared with making
Mithril Plate Pants. Switch to the pants at 200, then make ten
Heavy Mithril Breastplates to reach 225.
| Skill Range | Item | Approximate Crafts | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 to 165 | Bronze Warhammer |
