So if you want to save up mats to make these early items you can. I made a couple Ragesteel Shoulders and got skill points for both. There are even a few BC recipes you can use for the first few points. The process of skilling up is pretty easy and straightforward, I personally haven’t felt it was nearly as painful as the 350-375 range from BC. Hopefully Blacksmiths will be able to take advantage of the influx of plate wearers. There will be lots of newly minted Death Knights roaming around and they’ll be needing some gear. So if you decide to use a bit more ore per skill point, you can likely sell some of your wares instead of sending them off for disenchantment or vendoring.

The other good news is that we’ll be able to make blue(rare) items fairly early in the progression. And the vast majority of those 120 Eternals are used in the last 10 points in Blacksmithing, so if you decide not to push through beyond crafting the gear you need, that’s an option. The only thing you need 450 to craft is the belt buckle. The other good bit of news is that you don’t need to cap to get the nice items, once you hit 440 you’ll be able to make epic gear. The final 25 points will take about 380 ore in addition to 120 Eternals (aka primals).īut there’s some good news here: the Eternals you need will be available via mining much like motes of earth are now. The first 25 points of Blacksmithing will run you about 350 ore, the next 25 points will require another 350 or so. The biggest task, as you might imagine, is collecting all the ore. I tried using TradeSkillMaster and got overwhelmed with the huge amount of stuff to set up and configure.For the last week or so I’ve been working on Blacksmithing (in addition to Jewelcrafting) on the Beta realm.

…but seems that the developer disappeared from the face of the Earth or simply abandoned the project =/ There was an addon that made exactly this, called Erik’s Shopping List: It’s QUITE a hassle to keep track of everything, having to resort to an Excel spreadsheet and take note of the stuff I collect/craft. I’m looking for an updated addon that lets me set up a crafting queue with a tree view down to the basic materials…įor example, for the Turbo-Charged Flying Machine I need…
