WoW Blacksmithing | Blacksmith Guide

For those of you interested in becoming a WoW Blacksmith here is a quick summary of what it entails and how to level up to 450 further below...

Blacksmiths do what?

First off Blacksmithing is a primary skill. WoW Blacksmithing and mining go hand in hand in WoW as miners will collect different types of gems and ores and smelt them into bars which are used in blacksmithing recipes. So obviously if you have mining (even though tedious and time consuming) you can save money on buying the bars needed for blacksmithing recipes. If you have tons of gold (if not the Ultimate WoW Gold Guide is 4 you) you can just buy the required bars / mats at the auction house.

This option will allow you to level up your blacksmithing very quickly without mining but will be expensive.
 
Blacksmiths basically take bars of metal, work them into highly required objects such as uniquely crafted arms and armor that only a blacksmith can make and cannot be bought from merchants or after killing a monster. Special sharpening or weight stones that improve a weapons damage are made by blacksmiths as well. Being a Paladin or a warrior and having Blacksmithing can be advantageous as you can create your own weapons, mail armor and trade items. You can obviously make these weapons as well for the classes that can use them.

Therefore being a blacksmith can definately make you some much needed gold on the side.

Some of the items that blacksmiths create are used in certain recipes for other professions or required in certain quests. So if you create these much needed or required items, put them on the auction house to supplement your income. Its all about the money hey. Need a gold guide?

What do you need to start?

Basically you need to be trained in blacksmithing by a NPC blacksmithing trainer. Buy yourself a blacksmiths hammer from a trade merchant and bang away we go.
