1-375 Blacksmithing(Long post) Reply Contact 1-375 BLACKSMITHING*Blacksmithing  is honestly in my opinion one of the hardest and most expensive professions to level to 375, please remember you have been for-warned about it** Specialization – Weaponsmith and ArmorsmithAt skill level 200, a Blacksmith can choose a specialty: Weaponsmith, or Armorsmith.Weaponsmiths are able to learn that allow them to craft high level Swords, Maces, and Axes. Armorsmiths are able to learn recipes that allow them to craft high level Mail and Plate armor.Specialization – Hammersmith, Axesmith, and SwordsmithAt skill level 300, a Weaponsmith can further specialize in his trade. He can choose to become a Master Hammersmith, a Master Axesmith, or a Master Swordsmith. All items crafted from these specialized recipes are Bind on Pickup and can not be traded or sold.Master Hammersmiths are able to learn very special recipes for crafting Epic quality maces. They can craft both 1H and 2H maces which are upgradeable. The top end crafted Maces are known as Dragonmaw and Stormherald, respectively.Master Axesmiths are able to learn very special recipes for crafting Epic quality axes. They can craft both 1H and 2H axes which are upgradeable. The top end crafted Axes are known as Wicked Edge of the Planes and Bloodmoon, respectively.Master Swordsmiths are able to learn very special recipes for crafting Epic quality swords. They can craft both 1H and 2H swords which are upgradeable. The top end crafted Swords are known as Blazefury and Lionheart Executioner, respectively.Reputation Recipes – Aldor and ScryerCrafters are often faced with the question of which Shattrath faction to align themselves with. For Blacksmiths, this question boils down to: which do you need more? Fire resist, or Arcane resist.That's the basics of Blacksmithing in World of Warcraft. We suggest you take your class and playstyle into consideration before choosing your masteries. If you find out later that you chose the wrong path, you can always pay to “unlearn” your mastery and choose a new one. Below you will find a guide to how to level your Blacksmithing skill in the quickest and easiest way possible.
