This Cataclysm Blacksmithing leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Cataclysm Blacksmithing skill up from 1 to 75 as inexpensively as possible.
Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Cataclysm Blacksmithing.
If you are still leveling your character, I recommend trying Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide to help you get to max level faster. And if you are low on gold, you can also try his Gold Making Guide.
Approximate Materials Required for 1-75:
- 390 x Obsidium Bar
- 340 x Elementium Bar
- 10 x Volatile Earth
- 150 x Volatile Fire OR 150 x Volatile Water
- 2 x Hardened Elementium Bar
Cataclysm Blacksmithing Leveling
First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Cataclysm Blacksmithing.
Lightforged Draenei characters have +10 Blacksmithing skill because of their passive [Forge of Light], and Dark Iron Dwarves have +5 from
[Mass Production]. An extra 5 or 10 Blacksmithing skill means recipes stay orange for 5 or 10 more points, so you can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for a few more points.
Check out my Obsidium Ore farming guide or the Elementium Ore farming guide if you want to farm the ores.
