MoP Classic Blacksmithing Leveling Guide

Blacksmithing Perk in MoP

Blacksmiths can add extra sockets to their own bracers and gloves using the Socket Bracer and Socket Gloves spells.

You can use any regular gem in these sockets, so it's flexible based on your class and spec. This gives you:

  • +320 Strength, Agility, or Intellect
  • +480 Stamina
  • +640 of any secondary stat (Spirit, Parry, Haste, Mastery, Crit, etc.)

Blacksmithing Trainers

You can learn Blacksmithing all the way up to 600 from any regular profession trainer in MoP Classic, including the ones in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. There's no need to travel to Pandaria unless you prefer to.

If you still want to visit a Pandaria trainer, here’s where to find them:

Miscellaneous Items

Plans: Living Steel Belt Buckle is sold by Ambersmith Zikk and requires Honored reputation with The Klaxxi. It costs 20x Kyparite.

The rest of them can be learned from the Blacksmithing trainer.

These require level 85 so you can equip the full set as soon as you start leveling in Pandaria.

You sometimes get an ilvl 415 one when you craft these. There is no healer or tank version except the Shield, all armor pieces will roll with melee DPS stats.
