Level Blacksmithing with a route that protects your gold, uses first-craft knowledge intelligently, and moves from cheap skill-ups into the recipes you actually want to make.
This page keeps the relevant video search and WoW-God tools together, but it is not presented as a finished, current playbook until its activity-specific research and source review are complete.
Before buying materials, inspect every available recipe and note which first crafts award knowledge or unlock the specialization you want. First crafts are usually more valuable than blindly repeating the cheapest recipe.
Buy or gather materials in small batches. Stop when recipe difficulty turns yellow or green, compare the next recipe's skill and material cost, and avoid stockpiling a full route before you see your realm's prices.
Spend knowledge toward your real goal: personal gear, consumables, enhancement work, or public orders. Use the profit calculator before committing concentration or high-quality reagents.
Recipe sources, skill-up colors, and material prices are patch- and realm-dependent. The route teaches the decision process; check live prices before buying materials.
