WoW Forever Blacksmithing guide
Weapons, plate armour and the sharpening/forge camp objects — the melee crafter.
Changed from Classic
Roughly 185 Classic recipes now skill up earlier in Forever, typically by ~25 points.
New in Forever
A large set of new recipes, with many aimed at leveling rather than endgame.
Should you take it?
You play a Warrior, Paladin, or Death Knight-style plate wearer and want your own gear.
Tip: Blacksmithing is one of the most material-hungry professions — Mining is essentially mandatory.
Pairs well with
Mining. Taking a gathering skill with the crafting skill it feeds keeps you self-sufficient and cheaper to level.
Camp objects
At a campsite, Blacksmithing contributes:
- Sharpening Wheel
- Anvil
- Master Forge
A camp holds one feature per trade, features share a cooldown, and camp buffs need you to stop and sit. See the Camping system.
