This Northrend Blacksmithing leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Northrend Blacksmithing skill up from 1 to 75 as inexpensively as possible.
Approximate Materials Required
This is the list of the approximate materials required to level Northrend Blacksmithing up to 75. Some recipes won't give you skill point every single time, so you might have to buy a few extra materials.
- 180x
Cobalt Bar - 721x
Saronite Bar - 30x
Crystallized Air (3 
Eternal Air) - 39x
Eternal Earth (or Eternal Water/Fire/Shadow)
Check out my Cobalt Ore farming guide or the Saronite Ore farming guide if you want to farm the ores.
Northrend Blacksmithing Trainer
You can learn Northrend Blacksmithing from Alard Schmied at Dalaran (Northrend). The same NPC exists at Broken Isle Dalaran, but he won't teach you Northrend recipes.
Racial Bonuses
Some races have a profession skill bonus as a racial trait, allowing recipes to remain orange for 2-5 extra points. This means you can save gold by crafting lower-level recipes to gain additional skill points.
These races are:
- Lightforged Draenei: +5 skill
- Dark Iron Dwarves:+5 skill
- Kul Tiran: +2 skill

| 20-25 | 5x  Deadly Saronite Dirk - 35x Saronite Bar, 10x Crystallized Air
|
| 25-30 | 5x  Horned Cobalt Helm - 40x Cobalt Bar
|
| 30-40 | 10x Deadly Saronite Dirk - 70x Saronite Bar, 20x Crystallized Air
|
| 40-45 | 5x  Tempered Saronite Gauntlets - 70x Saronite Bar
|
Notched Cobalt War Axe45 - 50
5x 
Titanium Weapon Chain - 10 Saronite Bar, 5 Titanium Bar
Alchemists can transmute 8x Saronite Bar into 1x 
Titanium Bar and this transmute doesn't have a cooldown.
Make 5x 
Daunting Handguards if you don't know any alchemist, or if Titanium Bar is expensive at the Auction House. Or any other Ornate Saronite and Savage Saronite armor that requires 12x Saronite Bar and 1x Eternal Water/Fire/Shadow. I recommend Daunting Handguards because Eternal Earth is usually really cheap.
50 - 55
5x Daunting Handguards - 60 Saronite Bar, 5 Eternal Earth
55 - 70
17x 
Daunting Legplates - 238 Saronite Bar, 17 Eternal Earth
This recipe will be yellow between 60-70, so you probably have to make more than 15, usually 17-19. You can also make any other armor that requires 14x Saronite Bar and 1x Eternal Water/Fire/Shadow, but Eternal Earth is usually the cheapest.
70 - 75
17x Daunting Legplates - 238 Saronite Bar, 17 Eternal Earth
You will still be making the Daunting Legplates but the recipe will be green, which means the number of items crafted will vary from person to person. I never had to craft more than 17, but you might get unlucky with skill gains and you have to craft more.
And just like before, you can also make any other armor that requires 14x Saronite Bar and 1x Eternal Water/Fire/Shadow.
Congratulations on reaching 75! Please send feedback about the guide if you think there are parts I could improve, or if you found typos, errors, or wrong material numbers!
