If you didn't reach 90 by making these, you can still continue to the next step, but you will need a few more Copper Bars, or make a few more Coarse Grinding Stones.
- 90 - 100
10 x [Runed Copper Belt] - 100 Copper Bar
- 100 - 107
7 x [Silver Rod] - 7 Silver Bar, 14 Rough Grinding Stone You might need to make more than 7. You can also skip this part and just make Runed Copper Belt if you don't have any Silver Bar.
- 107 - 110
3 x [Runed Copper Belt] - 30 Copper Bar
- 110 - 125
15 x [Rough Bronze Shoulders] - 75 Bronze Bar, 15 Coarse Grinding Stones
125 - 200

- 190 - 200
10 x [Golden Scale Bracers] - 50 Steel Bar, 20 Heavy Grinding Stone
200 - 275
- 200 - 205
5 x [Solid Sharpening Stone] - 5 Solid Stone
- 205 - 210
15 x [Solid Grinding Stone] - 60 Solid Stone Save these.
- 210 - 225
15 x [Heavy Mithril Gauntlet] - 90 Mithril Bar, 60 Mageweave Cloth
- 225 - 235
10 x [Mithril Scale Bracers] - 80 Mithril Bar
This recipe is sold by these NPCs. There is around 30 minutes respawn rate for the recipe, this means you have to wait a bit if someone bought it before you. Make [Mithril Scale Pants] if you do not want to wait for the recipe to respawn or check the Auction House and look for [Plans: Heavy Mithril Pants]
- 235 - 250
Check the Auction House, if you can see the Mithril Spurs recipe and it's not that expensive, buy it and make those until 255. 15 x [Mithril Coif] - 150 Mithril Bar, 90 Mageweave Cloth
- 250 - 260
20 x [Dense Sharpening Stones] - 20 Dense Stone
- 260 - 275
15 x [Thorium Bracers] - 120 Thorium Bar
- 275 - 290 Between 275-280, you can make [Arcanite Rods] and sell them at the Auction House. This way you will need 55 less [Thorium Bars]. The recipe is yellow, so it really depends on your luck, maybe you will only need to make 5 maybe 10.
One [Arcanite Rod] costs around 18 gold to make if you buy the [Arcane Crystals] and find any Alchemist who transmute them into [Arcanite Bars]. The 55 [Thorium Bars] cost around 140 gold usually, but this way if you have to make only 5 [Arcanite Rod], you will end up around 90 gold spent, and you can also sell them for profit. I can usually sell them for around 70-80 gold, but you have to be patient because the demand for them isn't that big.
Anyway this is a great way if you want to reduce the gold spent while you level your Blacksmithing, but if you want to level the profession faster and you don't really feel you are lucky or you are not really into selling things at the Auction House, you should just make the Bracers mentioned below.
15 x [Imperial Plate Bracers] 180 Thorium Bar
- 290 - 300
Choose one from the recipes listed below. They both requires 12 Thorium Bar for each craft, the only difference between them is that you need 1 Star Ruby for the Helm and 8 Rugged Leather for the Boots. 10 x [Thorium Boots] - 120 Thorium Bar, 80 Rugged Leather
or
10 x [Thorium Helm] - 120 Thorium Bar, 10 Star Ruby
300 - 350
- 300 - 305
7 x [Fel Weightstone] - 7 Fel Iron Bar, 7 Netherweave Cloth
- 305 - 315
10 x [Fel Iron Plate Belt] - 40 Fel Iron Bar
- 315 - 320
5 x [Fel Iron Chain Gloves] - 25 Fel Iron Bar
- 320 - 325
5 x [Fel Iron Plate Boots] - 30 Fel Iron Bar
- 325 - 330
10 x [Lesser Rune of Warding] - 10 Adamantite Bar If Adamantite Bar is cheap on your server you can make this one up to 335.
- 330 - 335 5 x [Fel Iron Breastplate] - 50 Fel Iron Bar
- 335 - 340
5 x [Adamantite Cleaver] - 40 Adamantite Bar - Recipe location
- 340 - 350
35 x [Lesser Ward of Shielding] - 35 Adamantite Bar - Recipe location
350 - 425
- 350 - 360
10 x [Cobalt Boots] - 40 Cobalt Bar
- 360 - 370
10 x [Cobalt Triangle Shield] - 40 Cobalt Bar
- 370 - 375
5 x [Cobalt Legplates] - 25 Cobalt Bar
- 375 - 380 5 x [Cobalt Gauntlets] - 25 Cobalt Bar
- 380 - 385
5 x [Spiked Cobalt Boots] - 35 Cobalt Bar
- 385 - 390
5 x [Sure-fire Shuriken] - 35 Cobalt Bar
- 390 - 395
5 x [Notched Cobalt War Axe] - 50 Cobalt Bar
Make [Saronite Defender] or [Saronite Protector] if Saronite Bar is cheaper than Cobalt Bar.
- 395 - 400
5 x [Brilliant Saronite Belt] - 30 Cobalt Bar, 25 Saronite Bar
- 400 - 405
5 x [Horned Cobalt Helm] - 40 Cobalt Bar
- 405 - 415
10 x [Deadly Saronite Dirk] - 70 Saronite Bar, 20 Crystallized Air
- 415 - 425
13 x [Eternal Belt Buckle] - 52 Saronite Bar, 13 Eternal Earth, 13 Eternal Shadow, 13 Eternal Water You can also make [Titanium Rod] between 420-425 if you have Titanium Bars.
425 - 525
From here, you will see that sometimes you will craft an item which requires a bit more materials than the other one. The reason for this is that if you don't mass produce an item, it's easier to sell them (you should) at the Auction House for profit.
- 425 - 455
83 x [Folded Obsidium] - 166 Obsidium Bar Stop making these when you reach 455, make more only if you need them. If you choose different recipes you might need less than 80.
- 455 - 459
Make 4 from any recipe that requires 3 Folded Obsidium.
- 459 - 462
1 x [Stormforged Gauntlets] - 6 Folded Obsidium, 8 Volatile Earth
- 462 - 470
Make 8 from any of the following items: [Redsteel Belt], [Stormforged Belt], [Hardened Obsidium Belt] - 32 Folded Obsidium, 8 Volatile Earth
- 470 - 475
[Obsidium Bladespear] - 12 Folded Obsidium, 10 Volatile Earth, 4 Volatile Fire
- 475 - 480
[Cold-Forged Shank] - 15 Folded Obsidium, 6 Volatile Earth, 4 Volatile Water Make [Obsidium Skeleton Key] up to 480 if you are not planning on to sell the dagger at the Auction House, or if you have more Elementium Bar make 2 [Elementium Rod] and one [Obsidium Skeleton Key].
- 480 - 489
3 x [Stormforged Legguards] - 6 Folded Obsidium, 24 Elementium Bar
- 489 - 494
1 x [Fire Etched Dagger] - 20 Elementium Bar, 12 Volatile Earth, 4 Volatile Fire
- 494 - 500
2 x [Stormforged Helm] - 40 Elementium Bar, 16 Volatile Earth You can also make 2 x [Hardened Obsidium Helm] (8 Folded Obsidium, 30 Elementium, 12 Volatile Earth), but I think Elementium is easier to farm than Obsidium.
- 500 - 512
4 x [Redsteel Breastplate] - 60 Elementium Bar, 60 Volatile Earth You can also buy the [Plans: Pyrium Weapon Chain] recipe for 20 Elementium Bar and make the recipe up to 510 if Pyrium is cheap.
You can buy this recipe in all major cities near your Blacksmithing Trainer, the NPC is labeled as "Blacksmithing Supplies". This does not include Dalaran and Shattrath.
- 512 - 515
Read the section above, because from this point that's the only way to buy recipes. You could start making the recipe that I recommend for the 515 part, so you don't need to buy the Gauntlet recipe, however I think it easier to sell the items if you make both Gauntlets and Belts. 3 x [Bloodthirsty Ornate Pyrium Gauntlets] - 30 Elementium Bar, 30 Volatile Water
or
3 x [Bloodthirsty Pyrium Gauntlets] - 30 Elementium Bar, 30 Volatile Fire
- 515 - 520
5 x [Bloodthirsty Ornate Pyrium Belt] - 50 Elementium Bar, 50 Volatile Water or
5 x [Bloodthirsty Pyrium Belt] - 50 Elementium Bar, 50 Volatile Fire
- 520 - 525
5 x [Bloodthirsty Ornate Pyrium Shoulders] - 60 Elementium Bar, 50 Volatile Water or
5 x [Bloodthirsty Pyrium Shoulders] - 60 Elementium Bar, 50 Volatile Fire
