Blacksmithing has been a staple profession for me throughout classic, so it’s time to look at the mists version!
Level 90 required
Sadly Blacksmithing is a profession where you are pretty much required to be level 90 to access any of the relevant max level recipes. At level 85 and just having access to the trainers you will sadly not be able to get any economically meaningful recipes. If you can get to the vale and farm some SPirits you can at least craft the entry level PvP gear, but that’s about it.
Living steel belt buckles
The belt buckle recipe requires honored with the Klaxxi, so you cannot unlock it without getting to the Dread Wastes. If you have a commendation on your main, then it wont take long outside of leveling to 90 though. Belt buckles typically sell quite quick. Currently on my realm the profit for crafting belt buckles is quite good with the price of buckles at 350 and living steel at 260.
Spirits are important
If you want to craft anything else you will need Spirits of Harmony. Either two unlock the recipes or to craft them. Blacksmithing gets a massive boon from having a maxe out Tillers farm to get a very easy 16 motes per day, and if you have a class that is good at farming you can supplement with a potion of luck and grinding.
Entry level PvP gear
The entry level PvP gear recipes are all sold in your factions Shrine in the Vale. Each recipe will cost you a Spirit of Harmony, so it takes a bit of time to get going. Once you’re done you can keep crafting these items. In other expansions this has been a massive seller for me, and the tailoring gear has been selling very quickly, so I expect the blacksmithing gear is also good.
The weapons
The most interesting recipe group by far however are the Klaxxi weapons. At honored with the Klaxxi you unlock a bunch of recipes including a lot of 463 weapons. These represent a very good boost for any fresh level 90 and are selling from 4 to 9000 on my realm. They do require a lot of Spirits of Harmony however, so you will be limited by how quickly you can farm them. The profit per Spirit is very high, at potentially a thousand gold +.
Limited competition
Due to the fact that only other level 90s with a Spirit of Harmony income can compete this makes Blacksmithing a fantastic goldmaking profession. There’s also very limited numbers of blacksmiths at level 90 as most players pick other professions for PvE.
Tsm Settings
You can grab my TSM settings below to get going. Take note that you will need to set a material price for Spirits of Harmony if you use any of the recipes that require spirits. I would suggest setting it to 1c for now and then you can just go for the highest profit crafts.
