WOW-review

Profession of Blacksmithing is really good, especially for some classes.

If you take Blacksmithing as your primary profession you should take mining as your secondary for sure cause it’ll save a lot of gold. If you are leveling blacksmithing and you are not a miner, it’ll cost you thousands of gold more.

This profession (Blacksmithing) is a good choice specifically if you are a plate user and a melee DPS class character because all the things that you can make are only for those classes.

Also I got to mention that the best craftable items come near the end. But still you can find descent armor, weapons or other items that you can craft while leveling to put on your character.

Ok, you all got to know that in order to be a Blacksmith you need a Blacksmith Hammer to craft stuff and you definetly need a forge. Forges are located in all major cities and in many villages as well.

So, If you want to save some gold while leveling Blacksmithing check out this guide

BTW at some point you will have to choose to become either weapon smith (axe, mace and sword) or armor smith . It is possible to change it later but it’ll cost you 25000-100000 of gold.

It’s probably the cheapest way to properly level your Blacksmithing profession. I got to say that last 10 or 15 levels are going to be pretty hard because of the very slow experience gains, but you just got to go through the pain of boredom to make it happen.
