Blacksmithing Guide 1-450

This Blacksmithing guide is intended to help you level from 1-450 as quickly and as cheaply as possible.  While it is possible you will find alternative routes along the way, these methods are in my experience the best known paths to 450.  If you fail to follow this guide closely you may waste gold buying extra mats you don’t need.

If you don’t know which profession to pair with Blacksmithing I suggest mining.  Mining will supply you with a steady stream of mats for your Blacksmithing.   If you would like to go this route be sure and check out my Mining guide. Although I have made every effort to make leveling your professions as affordable as possible it will still take a fair amount of gold.  If you are low on gold and wish to power level your professions I recommend you check out this guide.  You can level to 450 without it but you may have to farm the mats if you are low on gold.
