WotLK Classic Blacksmithing Profession and Leveling 1-450 Guide
Blacksmithing is a great profession in Wrath of the Lich King Classic that allows you to craft powerful pieces of armor, weapons, and gear enhancements. Wrath has removed the item specializations for Blacksmithing but still offers some of the strongest pieces of gear available in the game to those who choose this profession..
In this guide we will go over all the items a player can craft with Blacksmithing, how to efficiently level your new profession.
Introduction
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.
