Wow Blacksmithing Guide
This Wow WoD Blacksmithing Leveling Guide helps beginners to advanced players level their Blacksmithing from 1 - 700 in the most efficient manner. In this Wow WoD Blacksmithing Leveling Guide we have cut it down to the smallest amount of mats so you can focus on farming less ore.

Draenor Blacksmithing Level 1 – 700
- Loot Haephest’s Satchel (Alliance) or Fractured Forge Hammer (Horde) from Draenor mobs which starts a questline.
- Complete the 2 quests (Alliance) or 4 quests (Horde).
- You will now have Draenor Blacksmithing and Garrison Blueprint: The Forge, Level 1.
- Draenor Blacksmithing will upgrade your max Blacksmithing skill to 700 and teach you to make Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing (Forge currency).
- The Forge Blueprints enables you to build a Forge in your Garrison.
*Another option for Blacksmiths is to buy Draenor Blacksmithing in Warspear or Stormshield for 100g. This will increase your max Blacksmithing skill to 700 but it will not provide the Garrison Blueprint to build your own Forge.
Recipes to Level from 1 – 600
Draenor Blacksmithing provides the Truesteel Ingot recipe as well as basic Blacksmithing recipes that give 5 skill points each up to level 600. If you’re new to Blacksmithing and 90+ then you can create any of the recipes below over and over until you hit 600 in Blacksmithing.
- Truesteel Ingot – 10 skill points with a 24 hour cool down
- Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing – 1 skill point with a 24 hour cool down used as currency in your Garrison Forge
- Smoldering Greaves
- Smoldering Breastplate
- Smoldering Helm
Recipes to Level from 600 – 700
To level from 600-700 create one Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing and use it to buy the Truesteel Grinder recipe from your Garrison Forge then create the following:
- 1 Secrets of Draenor Blacksmithing per day for 19 days. This goes green at 650 so don't make the Grinders below until you've made all these.
- 1 Truesteel Ingot per day.
- 7 work orders per day for your Truesteel Ingot supply.
- 21 Truesteel Grinders.
Approximate mats needed are:
- 210 Truesteel Ingots
- 1,350 True Iron Ore
- 190 Blackrock Ore
It breaks down like this:
21 Truesteel Grinders = 210 Truesteel Ingot / 11 bars per day (7 from work orders and 4 you make) = 19 days
- 21 Truesteel Grinders = 63 skill points total
- 19 Secrets of Draenor Blacksmiting = 19 skill points total
- 19 Truesteel Ingot = 19 skill points total
In about 19 days you should have leveled up to 700. If you have a level 2 or follower assigned to your Forge that would increase Work Order production to 14 ingots per day which reduces days to level to 13, but increases the amount of Truesteel Grinders needed to about 24.
See our Followers with Profession Traits page for info on where to get the followers you need.
Garrison Building: The Forge
- Level 1 allows the production of Blacksmithing items and 7 work orders.
- Level 2 allows followers with the Blacksmithing trait to work there, providing a bonus and doubles work order production to 14.
- Level 3 allows 21 work orders.
Work Orders convert 5 True Iron Ore to 1 Truesteel Ingot in 4 hours. See our Followers with Profession Traits page for info on where to get the followers you need.
