Dragonflight Blacksmithing Leveling Guide 1 - 100

This Dragonflight Blacksmithing leveling guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Dragonflight Blacksmithing skill up from 1 to 100.

Blacksmithing is the best combined with Mining, and I highly recommend to level Mining and Blacksmithing together because you will need a lot of gold if you want to buy everything from the Auction House. Check out my Mining leveling guide if you're going to level Mining.

Dragonflight Blacksmithing Trainers

• Kholmar Sunrunner in The Waking Shores.
• Metalshaper Kuroko in Valdrakken.
• Farrier Josu in Ohn'ahran Plains.
• Custodian Vernagos in The Azura Span.

New Dragonflight Blacksmithing features

There are a lot of new stats added to professions in Dragonflight, so here is a quick explanation for some of these.

Recipe Difficulty

Recipe Difficulty shows you how much profession skill is required to make a recipe at the highest quality. You can see your current profession Skill below the Recipe Difficulty stat. Your Skill comes from your base profession skill, specializations, profession equipment, racials, and using high-quality reagents. So, your profession skill can go well above 100.

Item Quality

Every crafted piece of Blacksmithing armor and weapon has 5 different qualities. Blacksmithing Crafted Reagents, Enchantments, and Consumable items have 3 different qualities.

Basically, if you have higher skill, you can make higher ilvl gear, higher quality consumables that give more stat, and higher quality reagents that give more profession skill when used in recipes.

Inspiration, Multicraft, Resourcefulness

• Inspiration: Each time you craft something, there is a chance you get Inspired and craft the recipe with some bonus profession skill, so you can craft an item with higher quality than you could normally.
• Resourcefulness: You have a chance to use fewer reagents.
• Multicraft: You have a chance to craft additional items. (doesn't work on crafted gear, only consumables and reagents)

Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge

Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge points are the "talent points" that you can put into your profession specialization to learn new skills, stats, and bonuses.

Blacksmithing Crafting Orders

Crafting Orders are a new way for players to request a crafter to craft something for them. The interface looks like the Auction House, but instead of players posting Auctions, it will be filled with Crafting Orders that you can complete as a Blacksmith.

Completing crafting orders can give you skill points if you complete orders for items that would normally give you a skill point.

Commission

Players posting the Crafting Orders can set a commission for the crafter who completes their order. But since they are also providing the reagents for the items, the commission will probably be pretty low for trainer-taught and common recipes.

How to Complete Crafting Orders

Clicking on the Crafting Orders tab at the bottom of your profession window will open up the Crafting Order UI, where you can browse Crafting Orders posted by other players. You must be near a Crafting Table for your profession to be able to access Crafting Orders.

Blacksmithing Crafting Table location

You can find the Blacksmithing crafting table in Valdrakken on the small platform marked in the picture below. For some reason, the Blacksmithing Crafting table is near the Mining trainer and not the Blacksmithing trainer!

Leveling Dragonflight Blacksmithing

There are 3 races with extra Blacksmithing skill as their racial trait. Any extra Blacksmithing skill means recipes stay orange for more points. You can save a lot of gold by doing lower-level recipes for more points.

• Lightforged Draenei have +10 Blacksmithing skill from Forge of Light
• Dark Iron Dwarves have +5 Blacksmithing skill from Mass Production.
• Kul Tirans have +5 skill in all professions from the trait Jack of All Trades

First Craft Bonus

You will get 1x Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge talent point each time you craft something for the first time. Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge is very valuable and has a weekly cap from other sources. 

So, sometimes you will see I recommend crafting a recipe that's slightly more expensive to make. This is because I think it's better to get the bonuses while they give you skill points. You will want to get all of them eventually.

Shopping List

This is the total list of materials required to reach 56. The 56-100 part is not included here because there are too many alternative recipes you can use.

• 114x Draconium Ore
• 272x Serevite Ore
• 106x Primal Flux (Vendor)

Primal Flux is sold by blacksmithing supply vendors. If you are leveling in Valdrakken, you can buy it from Provisioner Thom.

1x Explorer's Plate Bracers - 8x Serevite Ore, 3x Draconium Ore
1x Draconium Blacksmith's Hammer - 10x Serevite Ore, 2x Draconium Ore

If you need a Blacksmith Hammer to craft these items, you can buy one from Provisioner Thom in Valdrakken. (or any other blacksmithing supply vendor).

Equip the Draconium Blacksmith's Hammer. You can destroy the Blacksmith Hammer you won't need it anymore.

7 - 10

1x Draconium Pickaxe - 10x Serevite Ore, 2x Draconium Ore

23 - 26

1x Draconium Leatherworker's Knife - 12x Serevite Ore, 3x Draconium Ore

Blacksmithing Specializations

When you hit 25, you will unlock Specializations. I would suggest having a little bit of a look through the specializations. Spend some time reading through them, then choose which direction you might want to go.

But don't be too hasty with spending points just at this time unless you have a clear goal of which direction you wanna go. The Knowledge points are going to be the limited commodity that you will never be able to get enough of, and you will always want more of. You can continue leveling your profession and return to choosing a specialization and spending knowledge points a bit later.

You will need 50 skill points to unlock the second specialization, 65 for the third, and 75 for the fourth. 50 is not that hard to reach, but it may take you a little while to level all the way to 75. So, be aware that you will have to choose which one you feel you can do without for the longest. 

26 - 31

Craft them in the same order as listed!

1x Draconium Axe - 12x Serevite Ore, 6x Draconium Ore

2x Explorer's Expert Helm - 28x Serevite Ore, 14x Draconium Ore

56 - 100

You can still make a few more trainer recipes until you reach 60, but they are all yellow, and they no longer give multiple skill points.

Almost all Blacksmithing recipes that give you skill points up to 100 require soulbound materials. It would be almost impossible to farm the needed materials for a single person. Also, every high-level rare and epic recipe will be BoP, so you can't even sell them at the Auction House. You are basically forced to use the Crafting Order system.

Since the whole Crafting Order system is new and untested, I cannot say which recipes are the best ones yet. I will list the full list of recipes that you can use for leveling to 100. There will probably be demand for all of them.

I recommend using the "Show Unlearned" filter in the Crafting Order UI to see which recipes have the highest demand.
