About Blacksmithing
- Blacksmithing belongs to the group of crafting professions.
- To practice the profession you need a blacksmith’s hammer, an anvil (with Thermal Anvil also available as a portable variant) and sometimes items sold by NPCs around or directly from the blacksmith’s teachers. The prerequisites for crafting the item are always displayed with the item crafting costs.
- Blacksmiths mainly need ores (bars) processed by mining scholars to make their items. In order not to have to buy these ingots for your work in the auction house, it is advisable to learn the collecting profession Mining as a second profession.
- Blacksmiths make a variety of armor and weapons of different types, which usually sell well in the auction house.
- Opening locks and lockboxes is also possible with the blacksmith’s lock picks.
- Lightforged Draenei have a +10 bonus to blacksmithing due to their Racial Forge of Light. This means that recipes stay orange 10 points longer, which can save materials and thus gold in many cases.
