Alchemy 375-450

The goal of this guide is to create a seamless and efficient route to leveling Alchemy in the Wrath of the Lich King from 375 to 450.

This guide is not created like many profession guides. It is not a linear list of what to create at what skill points. Instead it will give several different options at each skill level so that you can choose what path is more efficient for you. What is more efficient leveling wise will vary from player to player depending on the availability of certain herbs on the auction house, and the random luck of farming.

All recipes included in the guide are trainable from the Alchemy Trainers in Northrend.

Herbalism - All the Info you Need

Apprentice Herbs

• Peacebloom [1] - (used for Discolored Healing Potion, Elixir of Minor Fortitude, Minor Healing Potion, Minor Rejuvenation Potion and Weak Troll's Blood Potion) Found in: Best spot for farming Peacebloom along with Silverleaf for Minor Healing Potions was for me Silverpine Forest/Tirisfal Glades and surroundings. Peacebloom grows mostly on plain lawn.
  
• Silverleaf [1] - (used for Elixir of Lion's Strength, Elixir of Minor Agility, Elixir of Minor Defense, Minor Healing Potion and Minor Mana Potion). Found in: See above, Silverpine Forest/Tirisfal Glades. Silverleaf mostly grows in bushes next to trees.
  
• Earthroot [15] - (used for Elixir of Giant Growth, Elixir of Lion's Strength, Elixir of Minor Fortitude, Elixir of Ogre's Strength, Weak Troll's Blood Potion) Found in: Best place for me was the Barrens, while searching this herb you should walk along the borders of the zone as it grows on mountains, rocks and hills.
  
• Mageroyal [50] - (used for Elixir of Wisdom, Lesser Mana Potion, Minor Magic Resistance Potion, Minor Mana potion and Minor Rejuvenation Potion) Found in: Mageroyal grows all over The Barrens. Mostly it grows in wide free areas of of dry soil

Journeyman Herbs

• Briarthorn [70] - (used for Elixir of Wisdom, Lesser Healing Potion, Rage Potion, Strong Troll's Blood Potion and Swiftness Potion) Found in: Finding this plant will be a pain in the ass as you will need a lot of it for healing potions. Best place still, even with all the competition of other herbalists, is the Barrens.
  Briarthorn grows always around trees.
  
• Swiftthistle [-] - (used for Elixir of Lesser Agility, Elixir of Minor Agility, Holy Protection Potion, Swiftness Potion, Swim Speed Potion) Found in: This herb is found along with Mageroyal and Briarthorn in the same plants, so the Barrens is the best place for it.
  
• Stranglekelp [85] - (used for Elixir of Agility, Elixir of Defense, Elixir of Water Breathing, Free Action Potion, Lesser Mana Potion, Mana Potion and Nature Protection Potion) Found in: Best zones for this hard to find herb is the westcoast of Wetlands as well as in Ashenvale inside the lakes and rivers. This plant is found always under water.
  
• Bruiseweed [100] - (used for Elixir of Poision Resistance, Healing Potion, Holy Protection Potion, Mighty Troll's Blood Potion and Strong Troll's Blood Potion) Found in: Stonetalon Mountains is a nice place for Bruiseweed, this herb grows all over the zone.
  
• Wild Steelbloom [115] - (used for Elixir of Defense, Elixir of Fortitude, Elixir of Greater Defense, Elixir of Lesser Agility, Lesser Invisibility Potion and Minor Magic Resistance Potion) Found in: Arathi Highlands was a nice place for Wild Steelbloom I find, you should walk along the border of the zone as this plant is found on mountains, hills and stones.
  
• Grave Moss [120] - (used for Shadow Oil and Shadow Protection Potions) Found in: If there should really be need for this herb you should try to find it in Duskwood. It grows in graveyards and around graves mostly in the Northwest of the zone and also you can find some in the Southeast corner. Watch out in Duskwood though with the Alliance cities and guards.
  
• Kingsblood [125] - (used for Elixir of Firepower, Elixir of Ogre's Strength, Great Rage Potion, Greater Healing Potion, Mana Potion and Shadow Protection Potion) Found in: Kingsblood is a herb that you can easily gather while leveling. Best zones for it are Wetlands, Stranglethorn Vale and Stonetalon Mountains, the herb generally grows all over the zone.
  

Expert Herbs

• Liferoot [150] - (used for Greater Healing Potion, Mighty Troll's Blood Potion and Nature Protection Potion) Found in: Stranglethorn Vale and Wetlands are nice places for Liferoot, also I found quite some in Arathi Highlands while leveling. Liferoot always grows at the edges of lakes.
  
• Fadeleaf [160] - (used for Catseye Elixir, Elixir of Detect Lesser Invisibility, Lesser Invisibility Potion and Shadow Oil) Found in: A nice place for this were either Arathi Highlands or Stranglethorn Vale for me. Also in Scarlet Monastery you can find some; this herb in general is somewhat rare but as far as I remember it grows around little bushes. Fadeleaf is found in quantity in the Badlands, it will grow next to cacti.
  
• Goldthorn [170] - (used for Arcane Elixir, Catseye Elixir, Elixir of Agility, Elixir of Fortitude, Elixir of Greater Defense, Frost Protection Potion, Greater Mana Potion, Lesser Stoneshield Potion, Oil of Immolation and Restorative Elixir) Found in: Now this is a very important herb, used in a great number of reciepes, you can find this herb in Stranglethorn Vale and Arathi Highlands around mountains and hills.
  
• Khadgar's Whisker [185] - (used for Elixir of Detect Lesser Invisibility, Elixir of Frost Power, Elixir of Greater Intellect, Frost Oil, Greater Mana Potion, Magic Resistance Potion and Superior Healing Potion) Found in: Khadagar's Whisker is found best also in Stranglethorn Vale and Arathi Highlands, around trees in bushes. A nice place for me to farm it was at the Whitebark Troll camp southeast of Arathi Highlands.
  
• Wintersbite [195] - (used for Elixir of Frost Power, Frost Oil and Frost Protection Potion) Found in: Alterac Mountains. Here it grows in the center of the zone all over the snowy part, no snow no Wintersbite ^^
  

Artisan Herbs

• Firebloom [205] - (used for Goblin Rocket Fuel, Oil of Immolation and Philosopher's Stone) Found in: Badlands and Tanaris are nice places for this flower, it grows all over hot, dusty, dry areas.
  
• Wildvine [-] - (used for Wildvine Potion) Found in: Ok this herb does not have its own plant, though you can find it sometimes on Purple Lotus plants. Else you get this plant as a drop from Troll mobs. Best places to hunt for it are in Stranglethorn Vale (Skullsplitter Trolls) and in The Hinterlands (Whitebark Trolls).
  
• Purple Lotus [210] - (used for Dreamless Sleep Potion, Elixir or Dream Vision, Magic Resistance Potion, Philosopher's Stone and Wildvine Potion) Found in: Stranglethorn Vale and Tanaris are good places to find this herb. It grow mostly around stone-ruins. Also there is some Purple Lotus in the Badlands, one right outside of Uldaman and one at a fallen column surrounded by lesser rock elementals, west of Lotwil Veriatus.
  
• Sungrass [230] - (used for Elixir of Giants, Elixir of Greater Agility, Elixir of Superior Defense, Invisibility Potion, Superior Healing Potion and Mana Potion) Found in: Best place for this plant is Hinterlands I find. Grows all over grass-area and is hard to see, you will have to move around your mousepointer to find it. Feralas is a good place too.
  
• Blindweed [235] - (used for Arcane Elixir, Elixir of Greater Intellect, Gift of Arthas, Limited Invulnerability Potion and Superior Mana Potion) Found in: Swamp of Sorrows all the way. You can find this herb here in large quantities, grows around water at the edges.
  
• Ghost Mushroom [245] - (used for Elixir of Demonslaying, Elixir of Shadow Power, Ghost Dye, Invisibility Potion and Limited Invulnerability Potion) Found in: You will very rarely find a Ghost Mushroom plant, a few of them grow in the Hinterlands in the north east before crossing the river in a cave, also Maraudon has some. I got this herb mostly from hunting monsters. They drop from Elemental type of mobs like Thistleshrub Drew Collectors in Tanaris or Tar Lords/Bloodpetal Thresters/Tar Creepers in Un'Goro Crater. Some Ghost Mushrooms can be found in east DM as well.
  
• Gromsblood [250] - (used for Elixir of Brute Force, Elixir of Demonslaying, Elixir of Detect Demon, Elixir of Giants and Mighty Rage Potion) Found in: Very important herb for Mighty Rage Potions for Warriors. You can get this herb best in Desolace around the Demon mobs in the area with the dark/rotten soil.
  
• Artha's Tears [245] - (used for Elixir of Detect Undead and Gift of Arthas) Found in: Best Place for this is Felwood + Eastern/Western Plaguelands. Grows all around the zone, is a rare plant though. Can also be found Razorfen Downs on the Spiral of Thorns
  
• Golden Sansam [260] - (used for Major Healing Potion) Found in: I found this plant mostly in Un'Goro Crater. While running around at the edge of the zone, you can find Golden Sansam (along with Mountain Silversage for Major Healing Potions), in shadowy places next to trees and generally in grass.
  
• Dreamfoil [270] - (used for Elixir of the Sages, Flask of Distilled Wisdom, Greater Arcane Protection Potion, Greater Fire Protection Potion, Greater Frost Protection Potion, Greater Shadow Protection Potion and Major Mana Potion) Found in: Two nice places for this plant are definately Un'Goro Crater and Azshara, in both places you can run around on your horse/kodo all over the whole zone, you will find not only Dreamfoil but most of the high level herbs you need. Also Azshara seems one of the zones less trafficked, so you will most likely find more Dreamfoil there than in Un'Goro crater, but Un'Goro is still the best place. Dreamfoil grows all over the zone in grass.
  
• Mountain Silversage [280] - (used for Elixir of Mongoose, Flask of Chromatic Resistance, Major Healing Potion) Found in: Extremely important and largely used herb (crit potion for rogues and major healing potions), best place to search for it is Un'Goro Crater imo. Run along the edge of the zone as the plant grows on the highest possible (climbable) mountains.
  
• Plaguebloom [285] - (used for Elixir of Brute Force, Mongoose Potion, Elixir of the Sages and Purification Potion) Found in: Best and easiest place for this is Eastern Plaguelands. Grows all over the zone, mostly in the south-east corner though.
  
• Icecap [290] - (used for Flask of Chromatic Resistance, Flask of Distilled Wisdom, Major Mana Potion and Purification Potion) Found in: All over Winterspring.
  
• Black Lotus [300] - (used for Flask of Chromatic Resistance, and Flask of Distilled Wisdom) Found in: Ok this is the rarest plant ever, places it has been picked up so far are Eastern Plaguelands, Winterspring and Burning Steppes. Another good spot for this herb is the arena in Dire Maul, (you need a group for this) depending on if a rare named is up there spawn 2 Black Lotuses in the arena and can be harvested, you need to kill the named though which takes about a full group.
  Black Lotus can also be found in Alterac Valley and Silithus.

Herbalism 1-450

The goal of this guide is to create a seamless and efficient route to leveling Herbalism.

This guide gives a general outline and suggestion for what herbs to pick to efficiently level skill up and where those herbs are best found. A flying mount (preferably epic) will make this process much faster for circuits in Outland and Northrend, but is not required. The number included in parentheses after each individual herb is the skill level required to collect that herb.

Collect every single herb that you find that can possibly give a skill level. Collecting yellow and green level herbs is not a waste of time and help level more quickly.

1-50
Circuits around any of the starting areas to collect Peacebloom (1), Silverleaf
(1), and Earthroot (15). If your collecting in Eversong Woods, you also have Bloodthistle (1). However, don't go out of your way to Eversong Woods because it has the same number of herb spawns as any other zone. In addition, Bloodthistle neither sells well or is used for Alchemy.

50-100
Horde and Alliance both do circuits in their 10-20 zones to collect Mageroyal (50), Briarthorn (70), and the earlier mentioned herbs. For Alliance, Darkshore is a good choice because its compact area makes finding herbs easier. Horde, if its not too crowded, should gather in The Barrens.

100-115
Circuits to collect Bruiseweed (100). Best choices are Stonetalon Mountains, Southern Barrens (for Horde), and Ashenvale. If these spots are crowded, Alliance can farm the outside perimeter of Twilight Grove in Duskwood. These herbs often spawn close to cliffsides, like mining nodes.

115-125
Circuits to collect Wild Steelbloom (115). Best choices are the perimeter of Arathi Highlands (even for Alliance). Another good spot is the northern perimeter and entire southern part of Stranglethorn Vale, but be heads up as its still a hotspot for PVP servers.

125-160
Similar circuits to collect both Kingsblood (125) and Liferoot (150). Good choices are Stranglethorn Vale, Wetlands and Stonetalon Mountains (specifically in the Charred Vale).

160-210
Circuits to collect Fadeleaf (160), Goldthorn (170), and Khadgar's Whisker (185). Best choices are Swamp of Sorrows (focusing towards the perimeter), Northern Stranglethorn Vale, Feralas and Dustwallow Marsh. 160-170 make take a little longer than usual because Fadeleaf doesn't have as many spawn nodes as is typical.

210-230
Simply farm Purple Lotus (210) in The Hinterlands at Jintha'Alor. Anyplace else is a waste of time comparatively.

230-250
Expand your circuits to include the entirety of the Hinterlands to pick up Sungrass (230). Continue to hit Jintha'Alor every 10-15 minutes to pick all the Purple Lotus spawns.

250-260
Circuits around Felwood picking everything and anything your skill will allow you. Available should be Gromsblood (250), Sungrass, and Arthas' Tears (220).

260-300

• If you have access to the Outlands, and especially so if you have a flying mount, circuits around Hellfire Peninsula to collect Golden Sansam (260), Dreamfoil (270), and Mountain Silversage (280, only near mountainous areas on the perimeter).
• If you can't go the Outlands yet, collect these same herbs at either Felwood, Azshara, Western Plaguelands, or Winterspring. As soon as you hit 285, leave those zones and begin collecting Plaguebloom (285) in the Eastern Plaguelands.

300-325
Circuits around Hellfire Peninsula to collect Felweed (300) and Dreaming Glory (315). Dreaming Glory is found primarily around cliffsides, similar to where mining nodes would be found. Both of these herbs spawn all over the Outlands so continue to collect them as you see them later in the guide.

325-350
Circuits around Zangarmarsh to collect Ragveil (325) and Flame Caps (335). You can also do circuits around the northern part of Terrokar Forest for Terocone (325).

350-385
Circuits around any zone in Northrend to collect Goldclover (350). Goldclover spawn in every zone in Northrend, so simply do circuits around whatever zone best fits your level. Also keep in mind what zones on your server are typically busiest and stay away from those.

385-400
Circuits around Zul'Drak to collect Talandra's Rose (385).

400-425
Circuits around Sholazar Basin to collect Tiger Lily (375) and Adder's Tongue (400). Tiger Lily is found around any source of water, such as streams, coastlines and lakes.

425-450
Circuits around Stormpeaks to collect Lichbloom (425) and Icethorn (435). Both of these herbs can also be found in Icecrown, depending on how busy each respective zone is.

Herbalism Circuit - Storm Peaks

Introduction

First of all I would like to say that this is my first guide, so any comments on how to improve it would be great. I would also like to add that I am no expert, and have only been playing WoW for about 4 months. This circuit is something that I have developed over the past month.

---

Requirements

You must have these listed below

• 280% Flying Mount (60% will be too slow and therefore not an efficient use of time)
• Maxed herbalism for efficiency (0-300 guide - http://www.wow-pro.com/node/611 300-450 guide - http://www.wow-pro.com/tradeskill_guides/herbalism_300450)
• Gatherer (http://www.gathereraddon.com/dl/)

---

Gatherer

This is neat little program which remembers where you have picked up herbs and nodes. It records them on your map and you can also display them on your HUD. I cannot EXAGGERATE how good this addon is. ALSO it can allow you to gather both nodes and herbs at the same time (once you have gathered information on the location of the nodes and herbs

---

The FULL Circuit

This is the full circuit and will take approximately about 45 mins.

If you follow this circuit you should end up with (approximately)

• 3-5 Stacks of Lichbloom and Icethorn
• 3-5 Frost Lotus
• 4-6 Eternal Life

Prices taken from my server.

Minimum profit = (3x25g) + (3x40g) + (3x15g) + (4x30g)

Total = 360g

Maximum profit = (5x25g) + (5x40g) + (5x15g) + (6x30g)

Total = 580g

Sweet profit eh?

---

The EXPRESS Circuit

This is the express circuit and will take approximately 20-25 mins.

If you follow this circuit you should end up with (approximately)

• 2-3 Stacks of Lichbloom and Icethorn
• 2-3 Frost Lotus
• 3-4 Eternal Life

Again, the prices are taken from my server.

Minimum profit = (2x25g) + (2x40g) + (2x15g) + (3x30g)

Total = 250g

Maximum profit = (3x25g) + (3x40g) + (3x15g) + (4x30g)

Total = 360g

Not bad for 25 mins work?

---

Herb Locations

Just if you’re interested here is ALL the herbs I have collected and recorded over the last month.

---

Pointers

1. Prices do vary across servers.
2. Prices are slowly decreasing, especially on Eternal Life as I used to get 70g+ on the AH and now I only get 30g.
3. It will take some time to get used to the route and you will have to keep referring back to the guide, so don't worry if it's taking you an hour plus.
4. The more you do if the easier it will become, as you will have more herbs recorded and plotted on your map.
5. DO NOT stack the market; if you do this too often then you are going to drive the price down constantly. I would advise only to do this 2-3 a day max.
6. If the price is low then wait for it to go back up. This will be easier to track if you have Auctioneer (http://auctioneeraddon.com/dl/) installed.

---

Rounding up

So if you want to get up to 580g for only 45 minutes work then leveling up herbalism is well worth it. This is the amount you can earn with ONLY herbalism. Imagine the profit you could acquire with mining or alchemy as well.

[WotLK] Blacksmithing 1-450

Like any profession there are always difficulties entailed. This guide was created using the current patch notes, level ranges provided by wowhead, and several testers of my previous guide Blacksmithing 1 to 300. I'm always looking for help and suggestions to find good ways to smooth out things based on availability and material costs.

As of Patch 3.0.3 There were a few changes to Blacksmithing to try and help level things out and make the last few steps to 300 a bit easier. The Thorium Armor set is a set of patterns that are uncommon world drops that has become a trainable pattern. They can currently be found on any Artisan Blacksmithing Trainer for both factions.

I've removed all world drop and quest patterns from the current list and left only one pattern that must obtained through a vendor. The Mithril Scale Bracers pattern can only be bought from two vendors, one for each faction and is carried in limited supply. Alliance will find Haggran in Aerie Peak and Horde will find Gharash in Stonard. Beyond this one pattern the rest of the guide is pretty much a running game for materials from your choice of sources and the trainers. Below is a full list of the materials you will need if you want to do this all in one sitting.

With the release of Wrath we saw a bit of a change for Blacksmithing in the 350 to 375 range. Instead of having you start crafting at the top of the previous end game as they did with the release of Burning Crusade, Wrath has you starting at 350. This range was the end game items for the blacksmithing profession in which a lot of crafted items became difficult to gather materials. This time around that gap was eliminated by the Grand Master range of items. So in an effort to make this step of the guide smooth I have worked those items into this section.

Again I've minimized the patterns for this section to mostly trainer taught items. For the Master blacksmithing range you'll only need to purchase two patterns; Plans: Adamantite Plate Bracers and Plans: Adamantite Breastplate. These patterns are sold by their respective faction vendors; Krek Cragcrush is located in Shadowmoon Village, Shadowmoon Valley (29, 30) and Loolruna is located in Telredor, Zangarmarsh (68, 50).

In the Grand Master range you'll be farming for a pair of patterns that are bind on pickup. These patterns as far as I can tell are likely only attainable by blacksmiths as all previous BOP patterns have been. I chose two patterns based on the levels of the mobs should anyone choose to do this while leveling their character instead of waiting till level 80 as I tend to do. First, Plans: Reinforced Cobalt Shoulders can be found on Onslaught Masons level 72 to 73 in Lights Trust, Dragonblight (Northwest Quadrant). Next, Plans: Reinforced Cobalt Chestpiece can be found on Venture Co. Excavator level range 75 to 76 north of the Suntouched Pillar, Sholazar Basin.

Most of the 350 to 450 section should be pretty easy until you get to Daunting Legplates. There is NOTHING from 435 to 440 that isn't green in skill level. So I've listed the bare minimum amount of materials to meet the goal of 440. Its not going to be fun getting that last 5 points to get the last 10 points. There is nothing from 440 to 450 that does not require Titansteel bars. Smelting Titansteel bars has a 20 hour cooldown, so if you plan to buy these bars prepare to spend a lot of gold.

-- List of Materials --

- Mining -
* 215 Fel Iron Bars
* 120 Adamantite Bars
* 250 Cobalt Bars
* 380 Saronite Bars
* 30 Titansteel Bars
* 40 Primal Earth
* 30 Primal Fire
* 5 Crystalized Water
* 5 Eternal Air
* 15 Eternal Earth

- Drop -
* 10 Frozen Orbs

Thats all folks! Please feel free to comment and help me out so if you see any ways to smooth out any part of this guide, and thanks again!

Blacksmithing 101: Dark Iron Crafting/Smelthing/Mining

Well I'm back! Strange times these are, but never the less I'll once against bestow you with the enlightenment of the blacksmith!

As requested by Arunsun amoung others, I'll try to elaborate the whole "Dark Iron" secret.

Part 1: What is Dark Iron, and where can it be found?
Part 2: How do I get the Smelting: Dark Iron skill?
Part 3: How to: Mine Dark Iron Ore, Smelt Dark Iron?
Part 4: How to forge Dark Iron items?
Part 5: And last but not least, The Map!

Part 1:
What is Dark Iron, and where can it be found?
Originally Dark Iron was the material of the third Dwarf Nation, which is now known as the Dark Iron Dwarves. It is the essence of the Blackrock Mountain and therefore can be found in Blackrock Depths and Molten Core, After patch 1.8 Blizzard added Dark Iron nodes in Searing Gorge. These ore's are extreamly rare and must be harvested in masses to make an actual product. This is a painstaggering and longdrawn quest, but in the end you will end up some of the most-wanted items, such as one of the two known Legendary weapons discovered. However it cannot be found in the Blackrock Spire (L & U)
But enough with all the babble.

How do I get the Smelting: Dark Iron skill?
Grab a pen and paper cause this one is tricky.

You'll need the following components;
20 Gold Bars
10 Truesilver Bars
2 Star Rubies

Next Step;
Go deep into the Blackrock Depths, fight your way to the chamber of the Seven (If you do not know what this is, it is the chamber where you will have to fight the Seven Dark Iron Dwarf ghosts, also the place where the Chest of the Seven is located).
Now BEFORE you trigger the event that'll cause the 7 ghosts to attack you, speak to Gloom'rel, he's the second ghost on the right as you enter the room. He'll demand a sacrifice of the above mentioned items before he'll teach you the skill. Once you have donated the items and learned the skill, you can proceed as you desire.

How to: Mine Dark Iron Ore, Smelt Dark Iron
To mine the Dark Iron veins you'll need a Mining skill of minimum 230. As you advance in BRD (BlackRock Depths), MC (Molten Core) and Searing Gorge, the Dark Iron Ore veins will apear on your minimap like any other vein.

This guide; http://www.koden.org/wow/dark_iron_ore_mining_guide.php - Will show you how to farm Dark Iron most effeciently if you have the aid of a level 60 Rogue/Druid. (Note: The guide provided by this link is *NOT* written by me and belongs to owner of www.Koden.org)

And now to the smelting part:
Once you have aquired the skill to smelt Dark Iron Ore's, there's a few things you need to keep in mind.
A) You can ONLY smelt Dark Iron at the Dark Iron Forge INSIDE the Blackrock Depths instance
B) it takes SIX Dark Iron Ore's to make one Dark Iron Bar (So just forget about making the Dark Iron Hammer)

How to get to the Dark Iron Forge:
You'll need to fight your way through most of the Blackrock Depths instance, right untill the Bridge which leads to the Molten Core portal. There, after the Chamber of the Seven, there'll be a crossing. To your right, the MC portal, and infront of you the door that'll lead you to the end of the instance. Inbetween those who there's a bath running behind the back pillar of the bridge. There, sticking out of the lava waterfall, is the Dark Iron Forge, guarded by a single Fire Elemental. Once you stand infront of it you can smelt all you want to.

How to forge Dark Iron items
Once you have the materials for the item you want to create (also including the recipe) You'll need to go back to the very start of the instance. Instead of heading for the Chamber of the Seven, head to Lord Incendeous. This elemental boss guards the Dark Iron Forge, and you simply can't miss it, It's gigantic. Once you have cleared Lord Incendeous and are free of all mobs, you can begin the crafting.

And last but not least, The Map!
http://wow.52pk.net/map_52pk/fuben/Blackrock_Depths.jpg

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gee's that was alot of things!
Yup, it's complicated I know, so I'll sumerise the key things.

1) Blacksmithing 230
2) 10 Truesilver Bars, 2 Star Rubies, 20 Gold Bars.
3) Map over Blackrock Depths
4) Re-Read or/and Print this guide.
5) 6 Dark Iron Ore's = 1 Dark Iron Bar
7) If mining in Searing Gorge, do it when there's not alot of people around. Mining Dark Iron while there's too many people about searching for the same is just a waste of time in my oppinion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The End! Enjoy.

~ Yours, Groktal. (Gee it's good to be back )

Notes: I deliberately left out the Dark Iron Faction = Thorium Brotherhood, in this thread. It is a different part and much, much, much more complicated. I will however try to write a somewhat comprehensible guide on it in due time.

Blacksmithing 101: Imperial Plate Set

(First post, introduction will follow)

So, the new armor set aye? The Imperial Plate Armor. Every tankers dream. Problem is just, it does take quite a large amount of Thorium, and Star Ruby's aswell.

I'll add the list over total components, bonus's, skill reg's and level reg's.

And having a full set myself, i can say that just because its STR/STA based only, dosn't mean it can't look good. cause damn, you look like a Real Knight in shining Armor ((Metallic-grey/Blue shades)) Even on orcs *snickers*

Total List of Thorium needed to get all the recipes:

Bracers - 20 Thorium Bar's (BS:270) Level Reg: 49
Belt - 20 Thorium Bar's (BS:265) Level Reg: 47
Shoulders - 20 Thorium Bar's (BS:265) Level Reg: 47
Boots - 40 Thorium Bar's (BS:295) Level Reg: 54
Helm - 50 Thorium Bar's (BS:295) Level Reg: 54
Chest - 60 Thorium Bar's (BS:300) Level Reg: 55
Leggings - 60 Thorium Bar's (BS:300) Level Reg: 56

Total component list for All recipe's: 270 Thorium Bar's
----------------------------------------
Total component list for manifacture:

Thorium Bar's - 218
Star Ruby's - 8
Citrine's - 2
Rugged Leather - 12
Aquamarine's - 2
----------------------------------------

Total Set Bonus:

2 pieces: +100 Armor.
4 pieces: +28 Attack Power.
6 pieces: +18 Stamina.

Total Stats Bonus:

Armor: 2809
Stamina: 94
Strength: 100
----------------------------------------

So in conclution, if you want the full armor set (which not only looks great but will add a load of DPS/HP to your group tank) you'll need:
488 Bar's in total.

Hope you have enjoyed the first of the "Blacksmithing 101" and I hope to write a couple more of 'em, and ofcause add my 2 cent's of knowledge.

- yours, Groktal

Blacksmithing 101: Legendary weapon - Sulfuras

So, i'm going to torture you with a little... a litte look into the Legendary weapon; Sulfuras, the hand of Ragnaros.
So far, it's the only Legendary (RED!) wepaon i've seen and heard of, and it needs 1 important thing; US! Blacksmiths!

In order to make this weapon you need:

A) MC farming group
B) 300 Blacksmtihing
C) Plans: Sulfuron Hammer

Okay, going to break it down into two parts, you need the Hammer blacksmithings make, and the Eye of Sulfuras, going to take the hammer first.

To make this hammer you will need:
Sulfuron Ingot 8
Dark Iron Bar 20
Arcanite Bar 50
Essence of Fire 25
Blood of the Mountain 10
Lava Core 10
Fiery Core 10

Get that and make:
Sulfuron Hammer
Binds when equipped
Two-Hand Mace
143 - 239 Damage Speed 3.00
(63.7 damage per second)
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 60
Chance on hit: Hurls a fiery ball that causes 83 to 101 Fire damage and an additional 16 damage over 8 sec.

Now, to get this plan is rather complicated, and i'm not entirely sure about where to get it. But the Sulfuron Ingot drops off the MC boss "Golemagg the Incinerator" with a 7.5% drop chance.
Its rumoured that you turn in 1 signot to learn the recipe.

Thats as far as i know, now to the second part.
-------------------------------------------------------
Once you get the hammer, you can concentrate on Ragnaros and his eye.
The eye itself is BoP and ONLY drops off the Firelord himself with a drop chance of 5.7%. once you have both, you right click on the Eye and you will get "Quote";

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
Binds when picked up
Two-Hand Mace
180 - 302 Damage Speed 3.00
(80.3 damage per second)
+12 Strength
+12 Stamina
+30 Fire Resistance
Durability 145 / 145
Requires Level 60
Chance on hit: Hurls a fiery ball that causes 273 to 333 Fire damage and an additional 75 damage over 10 sec.
Equip: Deals 5 Fire damage to anyone who strikes you with a melee attack.

"un-quote"

I hope this little tale from the seven sea's has inspried you, or atleast left you "wow...." cause it sure did that to me, and as far as i know its the ONLY! legendary weapon discovered so far.

- Yours, Groktal

Blacksmithing 101: Weaponsmith + Dark Iron spoiler

(Servers are down, so i finally have time to write another gold mine *chuckles*)

Weaponsmithing, What? How? and Why?

Weaponsmithing is the second evolvement of Blacksmtihing. It can be learned along with Armorsmtihing at Level 40 with a minimum of Blackmsithing 225.

Personally i chose Weaponsmtihing mainly cause everyone takes Armorsmithing and its really too mcuh of a bother when some of the best loot items in the game are Armor's, and not weapons.

Where to start:
From the weaponsmith trainer you will learn 4 different plans, all 4 different types of weapon.

• 1st: The Shatterer - 1H mace "Chance on hit: Disarm"
• 2nd: Phantom Blade - 1H sword "Chance on hit: Decrease Armor"
• 3rd: Blight - Polearm "Chance on hit: Poison Target"
• 4th: Truesilver Champion - 2H sword "Chance on hit: Holy Shield on Caster"

Now these four items all takes speciel components, besides an extraordinary amount of gems, truesilver and mithril.

Core of Earth
The Shatterer needs "Core of Earth" some say the drop chance for these is around 1/125. They can be gotten from high leveled elementals in Badlands (+45) and you will find them in two seperate camps South-West on the map. Or you can do multiple Maraudon runs and kill the roaming elementals inside the Instance. you should get about 2-4 pr. run. Each Shatterer needs 4.

Breath of Wind
These rare components are needed for 2 of the 4 items: Phantom Blade and Truesilver Champion. They are dropped of the Gusting Vortex's in the Taranis desert middle (+43) and are frustraitingly rare. Though killing the roaming earth elementals will automtically sawn 1 Gusting Vortex, it could take an hour just to get 1! Breath, that is if your hunting alone.
The middle of Taranis is a pretty big area so Have Patience! or go home again.

Ichor of Undeath
This, somewhat disgusting, component is dropped from +level 50 Undeads in the Plague Lands. They, on the other hand, are pretty frequent dropped and only needed for the weapon Blight. Which is why you will see many of them on the Auction House at ridicuilessly low prices (Don't ruin the market, give to friends or sell to vendor instead) we're talking 3-10g.
Reason for this is because its by far the easiest item to make of the 4, though also the less wanted.

Geez! This sounds imposible!
But wait, there's light at the end of the tunnel. See blizzard made these components hard to get to prevent Solo farm / Auction House spam. so whats the trick? Don't go alone! i cannot stress this point enough, if you go alone you might aswell turn around. Bring a friend and the drop chances will increase by 40% (estimated increase after take timer on solo/group hunt)

Now for something a little different:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After these four there's only one way to go, and thats usually level 60 if you want to be really prepared for the plan hunt as most are in +55 instances.

The next step in "weaponsmths only" is Blackrock Depths and the infamous Dark Iron. It should be said up front that if you aren't dedicated you should just leave this alone! Dark Iron can ONLY be; Mined, Smelted and Forged inside Blackrock Depths.
So unless you have the time and patience for this, drop it and move on.
Though for those who does go through with it, I have two words for you:

Epic Plans!

This does involve mining and donating houndreds apon houndreds of Dark Iron Ore's to a Dwarf inside the Instance , but you will get thé sweetest fire resistant armor + weapnos. Who knows, you might even make it to Main Tank in the Molten Core raids with these items.

So, for you I've dug up a little guide to help you solo mine 60 Ore's/Hour:

Notes:

• 1) You have to make it far in to the Black Forge where the Dwarf is, hand him 20 Dark Iron Ore's, 10 Truesilver Bar's and 2 Star Ruby's before he will teach you to smelt Dark Iron.
• 2) The Black Forge is the ONLY place in the game so far, where you can smelt Dark Iron (Near MC entrence)
• 3) The Dark Anvil is the ONLY place where you can forge Dark Iron items, and its protected by Lord Incendirus (spellcheck?) who's a level +55 Boss.
• 4) You will need to donate Dark Iron's to the Dwarf at the forge, and gain standing with the Thorium Brotherhood, before he will start making Recipes available for you.

Back to the initial topic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you've hit Blacksmithing 300 and a fully educated Weaponsmith you can start your travel to Wintersprings.
In the neutral Goblin town you'll find the 3 weaponsmtih specializers:
Axe, Hammer, Sword.
Before you can become a Axe/Hammer/Sword-smith, you need to do a quest for them, each involves a +level 60 dungeon run, but you'll recive a plan apon completion, and all of these items are by far suppirior to what else you might get your hands on at the item's level.

Thats almost but not entirely the last step for us weaponsmiths.

Now begins the INSANELY expensive hunt for Arcanite!
Arcanite Bar's can only be transmuted by Alchemists and require: 1 x Arcane Crystal (Rare drop from Rich Thorium Veins ONLY) and 1 x Thorium Bar. Transmution has a 2 day cooldown pr. Bar.

For arcanite is cruicial in the next many Plans as Arcanite weapons are thé final step. I'm sure you have all heard about the Arcanite Reaper? supposedly the best "non-epic drop" axe available, and will happily sell itself on the Auction House for +700Gold.

Most of these end-level drops comes from Blackrock spire, though i have yet to encounter the Reaper myself, but have seen the sword version; Arcanite Champoin.

In conclusion: Look Blacksmthing up on www.thottbot.com and PLAN AHEAD! you really don't want to find out later that you have made the wrong choices cause once they're done, there's no going back.

For all you blacksmtihs out there - Happy Hunting!

Known Rich Thorium Veins

I have been mining thorium for some time and would like to post a guide that will give a location of all Rich Thorium i have seen. Maybe others can post ones that i might have missed.

************************************************************
*NOTE*
THESE MINES ARE TIMED USING A MINE TIMER APP FROM MY GUILD
dont ask for the app its not going to be published till completed
************************************************************

Winterspring--
The lvl 57-60 tiger area on the north end spawns 3 rich thorium ever 14.5 min starting from left, then north, then right side.

Yetti cave east of everlook spawns 2 Rich thorium veins that spawn ever 28.2 min one at the very end of the cave, one on the ramp up left side.

Thisulfur Village on the north east side of winterspring has 3 mines that spawn ever 34 min. Left of the gate going in one on the north up the hill and one on the south east at the dead end.

Owlbeast hill southeast side of winterspring near the valley of giants, 29.2 min 2 rich thorium spawns. one in the cave on the left of the owls, one up the hill in the cave on the right

Ungoro --

West side near the lvl 55-56 elite dino at the west pylon not sure of spawn time.

Fire hill in the center of ungoro there are 5 potential spawn points best thing to do there is run up the hill check mini. no spawn run down. no need it walking around it as the mini can cover the whole hill in 2 sec

Silthius --

Misc thorium all over the zone. one of the best mining spots for thorium ore in general there is (imo). Rich thorium on all 4 points of the zone north,south,east,west look at the map once in the zone and hit the 4 center points of each direction 59 min spawn for each mine.

Also if you are a rogue or have a couple buds with you there is ALWAYS 2-3 rich thorium down in the individual insect areas monster lvls ranging from 55-62 elite. (i take a preist and a rogue with me and hit all 4 areas)

East Plague --

East plague has 3 that i know of. respawn is random in this area. 1 is in the cavern just south of light hope chapel. One spawns up the hill north of Light hope in the cauldren area (not sure the name dont care just there for the ore). One spawns North west of light hope near Zul Mashaar just check the general area as this mine jumps a bit.

Suggestions --

If you are in need of ore farm winterspring or silthius as they are the highest mine per area for thorium. If you get your mining spawns right you can endless run from rich thorium to rich thorium for about 30-90 ore per hour and about 6-10 gems per hour

Mining 1-450

Mining 1-450

This is the new and improved version of my mining guides, all brought together in one place for easy reference, I have gone through each and improved them. Enjoy!

The minimum level for starting this guide is level 5 as this is the level at which you can first learn mining. However as you progress you will need to go into zones with higher level monsters which will require the appropriate level.

You will require a Mining Pick to mine nodes that appear throughout the world. This will take up a space in your inventory, but without it you will not be able to mine anything. You could use a Gnomish Army Knife if you can get your hands on one. This reduces the number of slots that your professions will take up.

Tips and Hints

• The bonus that you get with mining is Toughness (the linked rank is gained when you hit 450 mining). The first rank is automatically gained at level 75 mining, giving you 3 stamina, and increases a rank every 75 mining up to the linked rank.

• Buy the biggest bags that you can afford - the more things that you can carry, the less chance that you will have to delete objects to make room.

• Put Find Minerals on the action bar so you can activate it quickly.

• Keep your eyes open at all times and keep an eye on your mini-map.

• Download the recommended addons.

• If levelling and mining together make sure you are at the required level of mining for the zone you are questing in, if not backtrack and get your mining up. This will save time in the long run.

---

Recommended Addons

If you are smelting then you can get away without using these addons, however if you are planning to mine all the way up then these are great as it means you do not have to remember where you found nodes.

GatherMate I have chosen to recommend this one as opposed to Gatherer as you can download a very good database for it which is easy to install and use.

The Database This database has most nodes that are found in the game and I use this to plot my circuits. Be warned, it is not 100% of the nodes, and sometimes you may stumble upon one that is not marked, however it will note this down and you can add it for your next loops.

Routes This handy little addon plots a route around all the points that you have in your database in such a way as to make travelling minimal. It is fully compatible with GatherMate.

---

Training

You will need to visit a trainer periodically, both to get the next Mining skill level, and to learn how to smelt the next ores into bars. When you visit the trainer to get your next skill level it is a good idea to deposit your ore in the Auction House or your Bank, this maximises the amount of time you are spending out in the field, so to speak.

Smelting

This part of the guide is dedicated to levelling by smelting, this will level your Mining faster than if you go out and get all of the ore yourself, but it will cost you. This will require a supply of ore to smelt, generally from the auction house. As a general rule ore is more expensive than the equivalent amount of bars, so you will lose money if you resell the bars after you have smelted them. Alternatively you can then use the bars to level a crafting profession.

1-65 Smelt Copper.

65-70 Smelt Tin.

70-90 Smelt Bronze.

90-125 Smelt Silver.

125-155 Smelt Iron.

155-175 Smelt Gold.

175-230 Smelt Mithril.

230-250 Smelt Truesilver.

250-290 Smelt Thorium.

290-300 Mine some Thorium to level up.

300-315 Smelt Fel Iron.

315-325 Mine some Fel Iron to level up here.

325-340 Smelt Adamantite.

340-350 Mine Adamantite here to level.

350-375 Smelt Cobalt.

375-400 Mine Cobalt (you can mine it for longer, but on most servers Saronite sells for more)

400-450 Mine Saronite.

---

Mining

This method will take longer, but you will make gold while levelling it if you are selling the ore/bars. Remember you can mine say 2/3 of what you need, then smelt the ore that you have mined to get your skill up to the point you need to get to. This will give you the best of both worlds - faster levelling and low costs.

Note: Just because I recommend, for example, the horde to mine in Thousand Needles does not mean that the Alliance cannot or should not mine here, it just means that it is more out of the way and will take a while to travel there.

1-65

If you are Alliance I would suggest mining from 1-65 in Dun Morogh, if you are horde then I would recommend mining in Durotar. You will be mining Copper.

Dun Morogh

Durotar

It is advisable to get the next training from your trainer before moving on, it will save time. Check the Training section to find your nearest trainer.

65-125

Here you should aim for Tin mostly, but if you pick up Copper it is not a bad thing as you can sell it, or you can smelt it with the Tin to make Bronze. For the Alliance I would recommend Loch Modan, and for the Horde I would recommend mining tin in Thousand Needles.

Loch Modan

Thousand Needles

Note: If you cannot mine iron (which will be for the majority of this section of the guide, then it is not necessarily advisable to do the loop around the Shimmering Flats, this is because it is quite a long way round and the nodes consist mainly of Iron.

Again it is a good idea to get the next training from your trainer (when you reach 125) before moving on, it will save time. Check the Training section to find your nearest trainer.

125-175

This is the point at which Horde and Alliance should be mining in the same place, and I would suggest that place being Arathi Highlands. You will be mining Iron here.

Arathi Highlands

175-250

When you reach 225 mining you will need to go back to your trainer and get the next skill level. Check the Training section to find your nearest trainer.

Next you should head on up to The Hinterlands in search of Mithril, this will take you from 175-250.

The Hinterlands

Note: On this map the route through the ruins is very roughly sketched as the actual path is incredibly winding.

Note 2: You can skip ahead to the next part of the guide at 230, it's up to you and may be better depending on the amount of farming on your server and the relative prices of Thorium/Mithril.

250-300

Here you have 2 options. You can either go to the close-by Eastern Plaguelands where you will be mining Thorium. Or you can go all the way to Winterspring. Personally I prefer Winterspring as it is less busy generally and I find the plaguelands quite depressing but both zones have plenty of Thorium there just waiting for you to mine it.

Eastern Plaguelands

Winterspring

Congratulations, you have now reached 300 mining! You are now ready to head off to the wilds of the Outlands and mine the exotic ore found there.

You will need to visit your Outland trainer to mine further ore, to find this trainer please refer to the Training section of the guide.

300-325

To follow the next stage of the guide you need to be able to go to Outlands so unless you are planning on being summoned here and running the risk with the higher level mobs you will need to be at least level 58.

Hellfire

Here you will be mining Fel Iron

Note: It can be profitable to drop into the Path of Glory on your route as there are usually one or 2 nodes here, but I would only recommend it if you have a flying mount as there are a lot of mobs in this area.

You can mine in Terrokar Forest if you are not having much luck in Hellfire, but the mobs will be a higher level which may be a consideration if you are not maximum level. The nodes here are more evenly spread between Fel Iron and Adamantite, so this can be frustrating if you can only mine Fel Iron when you go there.

Terrokar Forest

You can do this with a ground mount, although it will be faster if you have a Flying Mount. You will need to do this until you reach 325 mining, you can do this to get to higher mining levels, but Adamantite Ore goes for more gold on most servers so you will be maximising the gold/hour you are getting.

325-350

You can now mine Adamantite Ore this will take you all the way to 375 (although you can stop at 350 as this is the minimum skill for mining Cobalt Ore which is very lucrative at the moment. I would suggest that you mine Adamantite Ore in Nagrand as it is not farmed as much as it was and still spawns a decent number of nodes.

Nagrand

350-400

At this point you will need to visit one of the trainers in Northrend, to find out where they are please check the trainer list in the Training section of the guide.

Howling Fjord

Howling Fjord can be good for levelling initially, although Borean Tundra can be just as good. If you are a high enough level I would recommend that you skip this one and go on to Zul'Drak as it has a very high ore count.

You will be mining Cobalt at this point.

Zul'Drak

You either love it, or you hate it. This is the Marmite zone of Wrath. However it has one of the best ore counts that you will find. In addition to the route I have marked you can go further to the north east if you have time.

400-450

Wintergrasp

I would recommend finishing in this zone although there are is one glaring disadvantage;
It's the only PvP zone for those on PvE realms

However the respawn of nodes is great because of this and generally few people farm it. Here you are aiming to be mining Saronite.

Congratulations you have now reached 450 mining, you will now be able to mine Titanium, this is the expansions equivalent of Khorium, and as such is needed in many high level crafting recipes and is incredibly rare and lucrative. Especially so with the patch that means Jewelcrafters are able to Prospect it for the chance to get epic gems.

Thanks for reading, I hope this has helped.

Mining Tips

1.
Alright, this is a loop is for people who are lower 50's or, maybe, high 40's (and i dont mean lvl 46 ). Start out at the Northern entrance of the Badlands. Follow the high wall south, past Uldaman, until there is the first major left, East, down another trail. Follow this while hugging the northern side. There should have been a node or two of iron (do not be afraid to mine iron or gold on this run, it's free and it's on the way). Continue until there is a path climbing up while continuing East and climb the path. Continue East and drop down the whinding trail that leads to the dragon whelps. Hug the ledge that seperates you from one of the pillars in the Badlands and go around the ledge and go towards the pillar. Turn South and hug the eastern wall.

At the entrance to the Lethlor Ravine (towards the bigger dragons), go towards the Western wall and follow that south. When the Ravine starts to close again, make a wide turn into a little side path in the southern wall. Climb through this and jump over a few gaps back onto the main road. Follow the wall around the loop and head West throught the path while hugging the eastern and southern walls.

Head South at the first chance and keep hugging the wall. Turn West and follow that wall. I will not go into detail here but go into each of the paths and indents that you occur in this wall. If you do not, there will be approximately 5 or 6 nodes you MAY miss. Continue onward and climb through a little gap at the second ridge by the ogre mound. Afterwards, turn south and go into the mound. Come back out and head into a gap the is directly West of you but you will have to go North then West to get onto the ledge. Continue North and enter the Searing Gorge. You should have gotten an alright supply of iron and mithril, including their alternates: gold and truesilver.

When you enter the Searing Gorge, turn South and go around the Dark Iron camp, unless there is any nodes. Go up the ledge and continue up until you reach the ledge where Margol the Rager is. Continue down the more eastern path just a little bit (you don't have to go into the cave) and go back and follow the other path. Go onto the south ledge by the skinner and follow that a little bit. If you followed it correctly, you should have ended up in a giant clearing with a giant cliff infront of you. Go around and climb the ledge. Continue West again while keeping an eye out for more ledges and indents in the map. Go towards the Blackrock Mountain entrance and hug the ledge just North of the entrance for a little bit (it's just after the second magma river). Continue towards the Southeast corner and climb up in the area up there. Be sure to check the entire area there and start hugging the wall North. When you hit a ledge in the middle of the path, the one that blocks the Twilight Cult caverns (basically not attached to the mountains), climb it and head towards another ledge North-East of it (about South-West of Thorium Point).

Now comes the trickiest part of all. If you have ever been into the Cauldron, there is a hole South of the Thorium Point marked by a crane. Use it but jump onto the block, then the next ridge down and so on. You have to do this because you could possible die from the fall or you could be weakened and will have to fight. Head through the prison gate and turn left, might want to avoid fights to keep speed going but you can fight if you want. Turn left and check until you hit a dead end, at which point you should turn around and head for the exit opposite of the prison gate (don't have too far to tell on your mini-map if there is anything at all). Turn around and go back through the prison gate and go into the big room with Obsedian. Walk around a bit to make sure that there isn't any nodes you missed and continue up the ramp. Go past the Dark Iron guys and head outside via the outside ramp. You may see some nodes but DO NOT JUMP YET! Follow the ramp and go towards the incendosaur caves. If you have experience or have use of your mini-map, jut try to walk through here by making a loop (North and East then South and West or the other way around). Just be sure to get anything you see though.

Remember those nodes outside? Head back out there and jump, trying to jump onto anything higher off the ground or in an area without creeps. Head East, checking the walls for nodes, and exit the Cauldron. Head North (yes North) where you can to enter a clearing. Walk around the walls of the clearing to check for a node or two but be careful of the poachers that kill the spiders, 5 to 1 aren't good odds for success. Head back out of where you entered and follow the path East and South again towards the entrance to the Badlands. If you did this right, you should have an alright supply of Mithril and Dark Iron, even a Thorium node is possible on the Western side too.

Head back to the Northern entrance of the Badlands while hugging the walls (Alliance stay away from the Horde Base ) Now, if this was done with proper timing, there may be respawns and you can rinse and repeat the process again. This is a fairly easy way to get minerals for your blacksmithing or engineering skills, or you can make some fairly good money with one run. A worse run would have 1-2 mithril stacks, less than one stack of iron, and a couple Dark Iron (not including stray iron or mithril). A better run is 3-4 mithril stacks, 1-2 stacks of iron, and some dark iron (not including stray iron or mithril). I won't try to guess on a good truesilver or gold number because it is a random spawn and shouldn't really be accounted for an estimate.

2.
The next loop idea that I have is not too great. I really haven't seen much success with this loop but it is a basic loop. The outer walls of Un'Goro Crater hold both mithril and thorium. Now, in order for this to really work, you will have to go up every ledge and in the gorrilla caves. The real problems that I have with this is: there isn't much terrain to go about getting your minerals;you constantly have to avoid creeps and, worse, lvl 55+ elites, especially on the western side; and the pay out doesn't seem as good as it could be.

3. For this tip, I am trying to reach those who mine adamantite. This, unlike the previous tips, is not a loop. For frequent adamantite, head to Nagrand and explore all of the large gaps. Though they might not drop frequently enough to be called a loop, they are mostly there, opposed to anywhere else in Nagrand. This tip won't get you hardened adamantite on a great scale, but it lets you keep from guessing.

Info
If you have any other ideas about how to make a mining loop, comment me or get me at . I also have copied WoW maps that have a...err...very rough trail line going over them. No, not a mod, just a piece o' crap paint project that gives a basic idea about where you should end up.

The miners guide to lots of Gold.

This is a simple one, but just by a little looking and some decent skill you can make lots very quickly.
The secret is that on most any realm, some kind of mining mineral is in REAL high demand.
Look in the AH to see what kind of things go for high price. In my realm the most in demand is Iron. So what do I do? Find a good place to farm it, a favorite is the bottom of Arathi Highlands where the trolls are.
(Thanks for helping me discover that Jame.) Anyway lots of Iron Deposit spawn so the idea would be to get enough to make at least one stack of 20. Next thing we want to do is go to the Auction House and check the prices on it.
Hmmmm...7g Starting Bid and 10g buyout? What is this guy smoking?! (Thats the highest I have seen it go, and seriously that guy was on too much Bloodthistle or even Crack.) Now lets take the current highest price and throw it in at 50s-1g lower...repeat this if it sells until you see if its on demand. If Iron isn't it try things like Mithril, Steel, Etc. I guarantee at some point you will find something on demand, try searching different Bars of Mineral, also note that sometimes they go for higher un-smelted.

Introduction

---

Well, I've seen a lot of people requesting "guides" on which specialization in Engineering they should go (either Goblin or Gnomish) and since recently leveling Engineering for a second time, I decided I'd fulfill that plea by creating this guide on choosing your path. Also this is my first time writing a guide, so bare with me .

Now without further ado, let's get started.

---

Tinkerwiz

---

So you want to specialize your Engineering,eh?

Well first, let's start with Tinkerwiz.

As his name suggests he is...well a wiz of tinkering. When you are level 30 and reach 200 Engineering you can visit this guy in Ratchet and pick either one of two quests: Goblin Engineering or Gnomish Engineering (Alliance Version). Picking a quest will not immediately set your Engineering to that specialization, but instead refer you to the proper trainer for each specialization. So you still have time after accepting the quest to change your mind.

---

Choosing A Side

---

Goblin Engineering

If you accepted Goblin Engineering, head on down to Gadgetzan in Northern Tanaris. When you arrive, you'll find Nixx Sprocketspring in a small hut next to the Inn. Now when you turn in your quest, Nixx, will give you The Pledge of Secrecy. At this point you can still make a last minute decision to change your mind.

Goblin Engineering allows you to make ingenious explosives and even a Rocket Launcher. Unlike Gnomish Engineering, Goblin devices never fail catastrophically and always work, they just either harm you severely or otherwise kill you. Now, when you turn in this quest, there's no turning back. Your Engineering is intertwined with Goblin Engineering permanently and only certain means can reverse the damage done and those "means" aren't exactly easy to achieve. I'll get into that later on in the guide.

Note: Goblin Engineering may be better for Alliance trying to grind reputation with the Wintersaber Trainers as a direct teleportation to Winterspring is available exclusively to Goblin Engineers.

After that, Nixx will give you Show Your Work, which requires you to make 20 Big Iron Bombs, 20 Solid Dynamites and 5 Explosive Sheeps.

The breakdown on all the materials are:

Iron Bar x 30
Silk Cloth x 10
Wool Cloth x 20
Heavy Stone x 40
Solid Stone x 20
Bronze Bar x 20
Medium Leather x 5
Silver Bar x 2

Once you've made your bombs and exploding sheeps, it's time to turn in your quest and start really making some cool explosive devices.

Congratulations, you are now a Goblin Engineer ! Throughout the rest of your Engineering days you'll be able to make cool and dangerous gadgets like Dimensional Ripper - Area 52 and Goblin Rocket Launcher.

---

Gnomish Engineering

If you accepted Gnome Engineering (Alliance Version), take the boat to Booty Bay and go to Oglethorpe Obnoticus [Coords: 28,76]. If your Alliance, go to Tinker Town in Ironforge and talk to Tinkmaster Overspark. Turn in your quest and get the followup, The Pledge of Secrecy (Alliance Version).

Gnomish Engineering enables you to make bizzare gadgets. For instance, you can turn some one into a chicken or take control of their mind. The only drawback is Gnomish gadgets have a high chance of failure and is somewhat unreliable. Once you complete this quest, there's no turning back and your a Gnomish Engineer forever, preventing you from becoming a Goblin Engineer obviously.

Note: In 3.2, Horde will be able to obtain a Ravasaur mount by doing daily quests in the Southern Kalimdor area. Since Gnomish Engineers can teleport you directly to Gadgetzan, Horde players trying to go for the mount may want to choose Gnomish Engineering over Goblin.

Now, you'll receive Show Your Work (Alliance Version), which requires you to make 6 Mithril Tubes, 1 Accurate Scope and 2 Advanced Target Dummies.

The breakdown on all the materials are:

Iron Bar x 6
Mithril Bar x 18
Gold Bar x 1
Heavy Leather x 8
Bronze Bar x 6
Medium Leather x 2
Wool Cloth x 2
Citrine x 1
Jade x 1
Weak Flux x 1

Once you're done making your target dummies and mithril tubes, it's time to turn in your quest and begin making fantastic gizmos.

Congratulations, you are now a Gnomish Engineer ! For the rest of your Gnomish career, you'll be capable of making mind-boggling yet completely unreliable devices, like Gnomish Poultryizer and Gnomish X-Ray Specs.

---

Switching Sides: The Easy Way

---

So you leveled your engineering all the way and you think Gnomish Engineering is stupid, but you've already made your choice. So what do you do? Well, here's what you do.

Prior to patch 3.2 you had to relearn Engineering all over again. Well, that's not the case anymore. Instead just go to Narain Soothfancy's Hut in Northern Tanaris [Coords: 65, 18]. Then read his book, "Soothsaying for Dummies" and for a hefty 150 Gold you can unlearn your current Engineering Specialization without the consequences of losing the entire profession. You'll lose all schematics for the specialization,however, but retain all general Engineering items.

Well, that's it. I hope everyone liked this guide and found some use in it

Happy Engineering!

Engineering 1-450

Introduction

Engineering is a primary crafting profession that can create as many useful items including end level epic helms, guns, bullets, arrows and scopes. Looking at that list it's no wonder that many hunters will find engineering useful but other classes will also find interesting items as an Engineer. The ability to harvest "clouds" for motes and crystallized elements, the Mechano-hog and Mekgineer's Chopper for example.

List of Materials

Hopefully you've taken mining as a second profession or you have access to a miner otherwise Engineering will be an expensive profession to take all the way to 450. I've worked some leeway into the guide, often by making extra when the recipe has turn yellow just incase you don't get a skill point. This means that there maybe some left over materials by the end.

There are occasions when you might need to buy extra. The Gnomish Knife at the end is a prime example of this. I've also not included the materials need to make the epic engineering helm as it is dependant on which you want to make for yourself.

20 Rough Stone
20 Coarse Stone
40 Heavy Stone
180 Solid Stone
100 Dense Stone

40 Linen Cloth
80 Wool Cloth
10 Mageweave Cloth
20 Rune Cloth

114 Copper Bars
15 Silver Bars
100 Bronze Bars
4 Steel Bars
165 Mithril Bars
130 Thorium Bars
80 Fel Iron Bars
80 Adamantite Bars
20 Felsteel Bars
334 Cobalt Bars

310-320	10 x Fel Iron Casing 15 x 4 Elemental Blasting Powder	30 Fel Iron Bar 30 Mote of Earth 15 Mote of Fire	You need at least 5 casings and 25 powders but probably more due to Fel iron Bomb already being yellow at 320. So make at least 10 casings and 10 powders. If you haven't managed to get to 320 you might want to risk moving on to the Fel iron bombs as there is a chance to make some points up.
320-325	10 x Fel Iron Bomb	10 Fel Iron Casing 20 Handful of Fel Iron Bolts 10 Elemental Blasting Powder	This is already yellow but you would be very unlucky not to get 5 points from 10 attempts.

375-380	10 x Overcharged Capacitor	40 Cobalt Bar 10 Crystallized Earth	You'll need 10 capacitors later so keep going passed 380
380-385	10 x Hammer Pick	50 Cobalt Bar	Only make enough to get to 385. If you're a miner keep 1 to replace your pick and hammer.
385-390	8 x Explosive Decoy	8 Frostweave Cloth 24 Volatile Blasting Trigger	This is one of the yellow recipes that uses the triggers, so only make enough to get to 390
390-400	15 x Froststeel Tube	120 Cobalt Bar 15 Crystallized Water	You might not need all 15 so you can stop once you get to 400 and then come back to make more if needed for later recipes
400-405	5 x Diamond-cut Refractor Scope	5 Froststeel Tube 10 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
405-415	15 x 2-4Saronite Bomb	65 Saronite Bar 15 Volatile Blasting Trigger	Another of the yellow recipes that uses the triggers, so just make enough to get to 415
415-420	5 x 5 Mana Injector Kit	60 Saronite Bar 10 Crystallized Water
420-430	15 x Mechanized Snow Goggles	120 Saronite Bar 30 Borean Leather 15 Eternal Shadow	Goes yellow at 425 so you might not need all 15 to get to 430
430-435	5 x Noise Machine	10 Froststeel Tube 10 Overcharged Capacitor 40 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
435-445	15 x Gnomish Army Knife	150 Saronite Bar 15 Skinning Knife 15 Minning Pick 15 Blacksmithing Hammer	Stop when you get to 445 to make the your engineering helm (assuming you want it)
445-446	1 x Engineering helm example	Materials are dependant on what helm you want	I'm assuming that since you've gotten this far you will want the engineering helm
446-450	15 x Gnomish Army Knife	150 Saronite Bar 15 Skinning Knife 15 Minning Pick 15 Blacksmithing Hammer	To get to the last couple of points is very expensive as the only really viable recipe to use is the Gnomish Army Knife which unfortunately goes green at 445. So just keep grinding them out till you get there. I would say at least 15-20 might be necessary.. unless you are very unlucky.

This really is the end.. honest

I hope you found this guide useful. If you see any way I can make it better please feel free to comment and I'll make changes

Engineering 300 - 375 by Rappa

Ok, being a regular user of Wow-Pro guides, I leveled my first Engineer to 375 and seeing the lack of a guide to help rise the last 75 skill points, y compiled what I think is the easiest and less expensive way to reach this goal.
.
.
.
Whenever you create "parts" to skill up, keep them - don´t sell them, you will be using them some time in the near future.
.
Most of the schematics are learned from the trainers, but the last 15 points will require some receipe grinding. Each require you to grind on specific mobs till the receipe drops for you (click on the wowhead link to see who drop´s what). These are BoP and can not be found in the AH.
.
More than one item in a level range means that you can choose which one to craft for the given range.
.
.
.
Here is the list:
.
.
300-310 Handful of Fel Iron Bolts = 1xFel Iron Bar
300-310 Elemental Blasting Powder = 1xMote of Fire + 2xMote of Earth
300-310 Fel Iron Casing = 3xFel Iron Bar
.
.
310-320 Fel Iron Bomb = 1xFel Iron Casing + 2xHandful of Fel Iron Bolts + 1xElemental Blasting Powder
310-320 Fel Iron Shells = 2xFel Iron Bar + 1xElemental Blasting Powder
.
.
320-330 Fel Iron Musket - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23742

Gnomish Transporters

It is important to note that once you choose either gnomish or goblin engineering you can't switch back unless you drop the profession and pick it back up again.

Gnomish engineering has some benefits that will help you with end-game things. These are devices that are both helpful and dangerous to use. The best one that I have seen so far is the transporter. There are two that you can get though I currently only have the transporter for Gadget. This transporter allows you to basically use the city as an alternate hearthstone every four hours. Be sure that if you plan on using this transporter you have a parachute cloak on first though.

The transporter says it's safe 4 times in the discription. I'm not a genius but to me that screams danger. If you don't have the pattern for the parachute cloak get it before you use the transporter. In the many times that I have used the transporter it has only safely deposited me at my destination four times. There are times when you apear to be normal and in tact but are replaced by your evil twin for two hours. At other times it may randomly turn you into a merloc or a gnoll. Most frequently, however, it will transport you to a spot 10,000 feet above and 10,000 feet away from your destination point.

It is at this time that you start removing as much of your armor as possible while you open your parachute. Keep in mind that you mar land on top of a buzzard or a wolf when you fall so don't remove your weapons only your armor so you don't fall too fast and don't have a large repair bill.

You must be wearing your parachute in order for it to open and don't open it immediately or you will run out of time on the fall and it will close before you reach the ground. Wait until you have been falling for a few seconds to open it.

If you plan to use your transporter keep in mind that you may fall onto elite mobs outside of the Zul'Farrak insance so if you are only lvl 35 be prepared to die horribly.

With that I bid you a happy and hopefully safe landing!

Leveling Inscription from 1 - 375

Introduction

With the new expansion WoTLK coming, many new features have been added since patch 3.0.2. The new profession Inscription is one of them.

Inscription is different from any profession to date while utilizes a lot of traits for other professions. The biggest difference between Inscription versus any other profession is at skill level 50+, you can start making "end game" items and glyphs (end game in the sense that level 70-80 players will want to use the items you've created). Glyphs are unique in that typically no Glyph is "better" then another Glyph - each have their benefits depending on the situation. So whether your making a skill level 75 Glyph or a skill level 375 Glyph both could equally desirable.

Image of the new Glyph Window

---

How it Works: The Three Part Process

Inscription is a three part process: Herbs -> Pigment -> Ink -> Glyphs. To create pigments you will have to use the new "Milling" ability to turn stacks of 5 herbs into 2-3 pigments. The type of herb directly affects the type of pigments it creates (see table below). From there you can use pigments to create inks - some inks require a combination of pigments and lower level inks to create. Finally Glyphs generally require a mix of certain inks, parchments (new purchasable item), and herbs to create.

---

Types of Ink and How to Obtain Them

● Ivory Ink = 1 Alabaster Pigment. (Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Earthroot)

Notes on the Guide

Scroll of XXXX = Scroll of Agility/Intellect/Spirit/Stamina/Strength

Glyph of XXXX = The glyphs that are currently Orange(or JUST turned yellow) and require only 1 Ink when possible. (100% skill up) They normally come in 2's or but occasionally come with just 1 glyph later on. You can do that one glyph or use some other glyph if you want. Any glyph will give 5 more 100% skill ups after it turns yellow, and the next 5 after that will be about 60% the time it will skill up.

1 to 20
Ivory Ink (1 Alabaster Pigment) x20

20 to ~38
Scroll of XXXX (1 Ivory Ink, 1 Light Parchment) x20

~38 to ~58

Midnight Ink (2 Dusky Pigment) x20

80 to 81
Minor Inscription Research (1 Moonglow Ink, 2 Light Parchment) x1 (and every 20 hours after that for quite a while)

81 to 100 - double check every glyph that requires 1 Midnight Ink, they change it up.

235 to 240
Glyph of XXXX (2 Celestial Ink, 1 Heavy Parchment) x5

Glyph of XXXX (1 Shimmering Ink) x15

275 to 290
Ink of the Sky (1 Sapphire Pigment) x15

290 to 300 This seems crazy, but the Ink of the Sky levels make up for these last 10.
Glyph of XXXX (1 Shimmering Ink, 1 Heavy Parchment) x~35

---

300 to 305
Ethereal Ink (2 Nether Pigment) x65

305 to 310
Glyph of XXXX (1 Ethereal Ink, 1 Heavy Parchment) x5

Glyph of XXXX (2 Ethereal Ink, 1 Resilient Parchment) x16

345 to 355 (Glyph of Whirlwind)
Glyph of XXXX (1 Ethereal Ink, 1 Resilient Parchment) x5

355 to 365
Glyph of XXXX (2 Ethereal Ink, 1 Resilient Parchment) x30

And you are done! Note that there is a new ink at 350 as well as Glyphs that uses the new ink - but they all require Northrend materials so I skipped it for this guide. 360-365 is BRUTAL as everything is green at this point. At 365 EVERYTHING turns gray - it is not possible to hit 375 at the moment.

[WotLK] Jewelcrafting 1 to 450

The following is how I prefer to level my Jewelcrafting. I've used this guide several times and seems to work well enough for myself. Shortly after finishing my Blacksmithing guide I started on this one but never found the time to get it posted. So here it is for your approval. As always I based this guide off of information gathered from www.wowhead.com using the updated level ranges for professions. I'm looking for feedback to see if there are any possible ways to smooth it out or if there are better options because of material costs.

Jewelcrafting 300 to 350

Skill Level	Item	Materials
301 to 310	Random Socketable Gem	See Below
311 to 320	Fel Iron Blood Ring/ Golden Draenite Ring	20 Blood Garnet/ 20 Golden Draenite 10 Fel Iron Bars
321 to 325	Random Socketable Gem	See Below
326 to 335	Mercurial Adamantite	40 Adamantite Powder 10 Primal Earth
336 to 350	Heavy Adamantite Ring	15 Adamantite Bars 15 Mercurial Adamantite

As you enter this level of Jewelcrafting you're going to start making socketable gems more than you will be making jewelry. For leveling purposes you're going to be making mostly random gems until there are stable pieces of jewelry to provide solid points for leveling. If you haven't already noticed you're going to be using a lot of raw ore as a jewelcrafter, and this can be quite expensive if you do not have a gathering profession or a dedicated gatherer.

-- List of Materials --

- Mining and Prospecting-
* 10 Fel Iron Bars
* 15 Adamantite Bars
* 200 Adamantite Ore (Prospect for Adamantite Powder)
* 20 Blood Garnet and/or 20 Golden Draenite
* 10 Primal Earth

NOTE: By prospecting the 200 Adamantite Ore this should give you a sufficient number of uncommon gems if you do not wish to waste time farming Fel Iron Ore for the start of this guide.

As you prospect you're going to receive random colored uncommon gems. You'll want to reserve certain gems during specific phases. From 300 to 310 Make sure to save up 10 Blood Garnet and/or Golden Draenite, you only need 20 total combined not 20 of each. After you finish making the rings from 311 to 320 ALL other gems are fair game to make from 321 to 325. When you make gems from 321 to 325 be sure you're making gems that you learned at 315 and not 305.

Random Socketable Gems 300 to 350

Skill Level	Item	Materials
300	Glowing Shadow Draenite	Shadow Draenite
300	Inscribed Flame Spessarite	Flame Spessarite
300	Radiant Deep Peridot	Deep Peridot
300	Solid Azure Moonstone	Azure Moonstone
305	Jagged Deep Peridot	Deep Peridot
305	Luminous Flame Spessarite	Flame Spessarite
305	Royal Shadow Draenite	Shadow Draenite
305	Sparkling Azure Moonstone	Azure Moonstone

Jewelcrafting 350 to 450

Skill Level	Item	Materials
350 to 375	Random Socketable Gem	See Below
376 to 380	Bloodstone Band/ Crystal Chalcedony Amulet/ Crystal Citrine Necklace/ Sun Rock Ring	10 Crystallized Earth 5 Bloodstone/ 5 Chalcedony/ 5 Huge Citrine/ 5 Sun Crystal
381 to 390	Earthshadow Ring/ Jade Ring of Slaying	10 Eternal Earth 20 Shadow Crystal/ 20 Dark Jade
391 to 420	Stoneguard Band	60 Eternal Earth
421 to 450	Ring of Earthen Might	60 Titanium Bars 60 Eternal Earth

For the 350 to 375 Random Socketable Gems there is a large number of gems in the Grand Master segment that I'm not going to try to list them here. Please consult wowhead or your crafting manual in game. Also of note we've gone back to making jewelry due to the availability of the materials. Thankfully in the Grand Master segment the gems are now orange skill level and offer solid points for skill leveling. By the time you've leveled past the random gems you should have enough Crystallized and Eternal Earth that it will expedite the leveling. Much like the Random Socketable Gems I've listed several options from 376 to 390 for jewelry, simply make the items that you have the gems available at that time. I would recommend you pick one specific type that you have an abundance of and reserve those for one of the pieces of jewelry for when you finish the random Socketable Gems segment.

-- List of Materials --

- Mining and Prospecting -
* 10 Crystallized Earth
* 130 Eternal Earth
* 60 Titanium Bars
* 5 Bloodstone/Chalcedony/Huge Citrine/Sun Crystal
* 20 Shadow Crystal/Dark Jade

Jiyambi's Leatherworking Guide

This guide is designed to help you quickly and cheaply level your leatherworking. There are points in the leatherworking profession that can be quite frustrating to those who don't know it in and out - this guide will help you prepare for these dry spells with the leather you need ahead of time. I do my best to avoid rare recipes (those found as drops or from out the way trainers) and recipes which require rare or expensive materials. We will occasionally use these recipes due to other constraints, but information on where to find the components will be included.

If you have acquired some extra materials and it would be cheaper for you to create items other than those listed, by all means do so. In addition, feel free to sub out the listed items for some you are making to wear, but remember to get extra leather if this makes you come up short. Any items that are especially important will be noted in the guide (such as those for specialization turn-ins).

For an excellent guide on leveling your skinning BC to Wrath, see the Skinning 300-450 guide.

Note: The numbers provided here are estimates only. You may need a little more leather than what is listed, or a little less. If you end up with extra leather, remember that in most cases you can change that leather into the next type (medium to heavy for example) to save you some cash or farming time later on.

Why Level Leatherworking?

---

Leatherworking provides some great advantages for leather and mail wearing classes. It is great for leveling up your character since you can very cheaply make item enhancements (armor kits), and can also craft upgrades in gear if you haven't found them as you level. There are some item enhancements which you can only place on your own gear. There is also something to be said for being able to make your own armor kits rather than having to find someone to do it for you.

Choose a specialization

---

Now is the best time to chose your specialization, since you can make the items you need to specialize as you level up your skill.

• Dragonscale Leatherworking: Mail armor mostly used by Shaman and Hunters. Here is a list of Dragonscale craftables.
• Elemental Leatherworking:Leather armor which increases resistance, mainly used by rogues and feral druids. Here is a list of Elemental craftables.
• Tribal Leatherworking:Leather armor which increases intelligence and stamina, good for druids and sometimes rogues (it also gives crit and dodge). Here is a list of Tribal craftables.

You won't be able to actually learn your speciallization until you make the required items in the next section (though Elemental leatherworkers can right away if they like, since they don't need to make anything).

Artisan

This section is divided into subsections for each specialization. Items that will be used for your specialization are marked in red.

Note: Any leatherworker can complete the wild leather quests if he or she wants those recipes, but they happen to be required for Tribal Leatherworking.

Purchase Grand Master Leatherworking from the trainer in one of your faction's main Northrend bases (requires level 60?).

Shopping List:

• 1030 Borean Leather
• 5 Jormungar Scales
• 25 Arctic Fur
• 10 Eternal Air
• 20 Nerubian Chitin OR Icy Dragonscales

Expected Cost: Unknown (prices still fluctuating)

Level	Craft	Materials
350-375	Create 25 Borean Armor Kit	100 Borean Leather
375-390	Create 15 Arctic Gloves	150 Borean Leather
390-405	Create 155 Heavy Borean Leather (make it until it turns gray, you'll need tons later)	930 Borean Leather
405-410	Create 5 Jormungar Leg Armor	25 Heavy Borean Leather 5 Jormungar Scales
410-415	Create 5 Fur Linings of your choice (Attack Power, Spell Power, Stamina)	5 Arctic Fur
415-420	Create 5 Pack of Endless Pockets or other bag	40 Heavy Borean Leather

425-430	Create 5 Eviscerator's Guantlets	50 Heavy Borean Leather 5 Eternal Air

Leveling from 430 to 450 is much more difficult and costly. At this point it is probably best to craft specific items to sell, for friends, or for yourself, instead of purely to level up. You can level this with just recipes learned from your trainer, but you may want to purchase the epic recipes which cost Arctic Furs, for the purposes of making gear for yourself or others.

In addition, all recipes past this level require rare materials such as frozen orbs.

If you still simply want to level as cheaply as possible without farming rare materials, here is a suggestion:

• Advertise in Trade Chat with the recipes you can do, and make things free with other’s mats. This will allow you to level up while costing you nothing, and if you have some of the blue items available at this leatherworking level, you should be able to find some people who want what you can make.

Determining the highest level creature you can skin

To determine the highest level creature you can skin we use the formula: (Skinning skill)/5. In case you don't like the area I've suggested you raise the skill you can use this formula to skin wherever you desire.

---

Getting from 300-350

1. There are a lot of areas in Hellfire Peninsula that you can get to 310 skinning from. You should be killing Hellboars of all kind for an easy 10 skillups.

2. Now you may either, continue killing Hellboars untill 330 or move to the Ravagers near Falcon Watch or the ones near the Warp Fields.

1. This part of the skinning experience is very very easy. Nagrand has been called the Skinner's Paradise for the sole reason of the enormous amount of Beasts in the zone. The area I have highlighted includes Talbuks and Clefthoofs. They are found in such abundance in this area that you can probably get to 350 skinning in 1 or 2 crossings of the area.

NOTE= You have a choice now, you can continue skinning in Nagrand untill 375 OR move onto the Howling Fjord. This will depend on your level. If you are above level 70 I would highly recommend going right on ahead to the Howling Fjord.

---

Getting from 350-405 - Shoveltusks

1. Go to the area around The Ancient Lift and start killing any Shoveltusk you see. Be sure to skin all of them untill you reach Skinning Skill 405 as they turn green.
(Alternative: You can kill Mammoths in Northern Borean Tundra, or Beasts if you do not have an intention of going to the D.E.H.T.A. Camp)

---

Getting from 405-430 - Duskhowl Prowlers

1. Go to the area of land around Drakil'Jin Ruins and kill any Duskhowl Prowler you come upon, as well as any other Beast in the area. Make sure to skin them.

---

The Final Leg 430-450 - Sholazar Basin

1. Go to this very large encompassed area of land. Inside this area there are a large variety of animals including: Rhinos, Crocolisks and Dreadsabers. To be blunt, kill them all. Make sure to skin every last one untill you reach 450 Skinning.

---

Goodies you can get from skinning

While skinning you may come across such items such as:
1. Arctic Fur
2. Jormungar Scale
3. Icy Dragonscale
4. Nerubian Chitin
5. Borean Leather Scraps which can be created into Borean Leather once you have 5.

All these items are used for a plethora of BoE Leatherworking items such as:

1. Jormungar Leg Armour which is the an improvement over the Nether Leg Armours.
2. Icescale Leg Armour which again is an improvement over the Nether Leg Armours.
3. Frosthide Leg Armour the epic version of Jormungar Leg Armour.

All of these items are also used for special Leatherworker only enchants like:

1. Fur Lining - Attack Power An extremely powerful enchant for the bracers, only for leather workers.
2. Nerubian Leg Reinforcements Is one of the many leatherworking only leg enchants, and the bonus about them is that they require barely any materials to create them.

I would highly recommend keeping most of these 'special' skins or perhaps selling them to a leatherworker, or even picking up the leatherworking proffession yourself.

Gold making by tailoring.

Tailoring Gold
By Domobb

Tailoring is a great profession. People don't understand tailoring quite as well as they could. I thought it was a rubbish profession to use to make money. Although I have developed a great way to make gold with tailoring, and it involves using the auction house, but it is simple and free.

Addons:
Auctioneer

Requirements: Tailoring from level 1-450.
Some items may require higher level tailoring to make so just stick to items that you can make.

These items you will want to make because they sell easily, and higher levels buy them for there alts to level up quicker.
Good sellers.
Simple kilt - may take from 20s-1g to make, sell higher price depending on price cost to make. (sell in bulk) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10047
Tuxedo pants - may take 1-3g to make, sell for 10-15g, these are great because they are rarer to the jacket. (sell 1-3 at a time) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10035
Enchanters cowl - Not to expensive, only make if thick spider's silk is cheaper than 20s, sell 3-5g. (sell 1-2 at a time) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4322
Soft-soled linen boots - takes around 1-2g to make, sell for 3-4g depending on price. (sell in bulk(6) ) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4312
Dreamweave vest - this is an awesome item because it may take only 1-3g to make, and you can sell it for 20-40g. (sell 1 at a time) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10021
Dreamweave circlet - another great item just like the vest. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10041
Dreamweave gloves - another great item just like the circlet and vest. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10019
Spidersilk boots - these boots may only cost 1-5g to make, although 1 mat is very expensive, if you find it cheap can sell up to 40-60g http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4320

---

CLOTH, CLOTH, CLOTH!
Buy cloth, cloth is very valuable because it can be cheap, but the next day jump a load. The same as mining ores.
Always buy linen if it is 20s or lower a stack.
Always buy runecloth if it is 2g or less a stack.
Always buy mageweave if it is 1g or less a stack.
Always buy silk cloth it it is 50s-1g or less a stack.
Always buy Wool cloth if it is 50s or less a stack.

*NOTE*, if you notice shadow silk or thick spiders silk for less than 20s a piece, buy it, will help in making items.

Now you should be on your way with making money using tailoring. One more thing. If you wish to make more money, take the mining profession as your second and follow this mining guide: Mining 1-450

Good luck Tailoring your gold.

Tailoring 1 - 375

Step 1: Buy all the following items at AH/VENDOR/ Note: Everything marked with (*) can be bought from the trainer! So don't stress buying them now.


**WARNING**
You will need a lot of bag space for this, so i suggest you by all the materials and mail them to an alt, if you don't have one, make one and park it next to a post box, send all the materials, then just hit reply on your alt and all your materials will be in your post box ready to be picked up when needed.

**WARNING(number 2)**
The below list is a bare minimum, with you getting a skill point on pretty much every item crafted, even when yellow and not orange, so you can expect to have to buy a lot more mats then are listed below.

Quote:

Amount	Material
100	Linen Cloth
20	Bolt of Linen Cloth	or 40 more Linen Cloth
100	Wool Cloth
25	Bolt of Woolen Cloth	or 75 more Wool Cloth
80	Silk Cloth
120	Bolt of Silk Cloth	or 480 more Silk Cloth
50	Mageweave Cloth
80	Bolt of Mageweave Cloth	or 400 more Mageweave Cloth
50	Runecloth
135	Bolt of Runecloth	or 675 more Runecloth
150	Netherweave Cloth
160	Bolt of Netherweave Cloth	or 480 more Netherweave Cloth
75	Bolt of Imbued Netherweave Cloth	or 1125 more Netherweave Cloth and 150 Arcane Dust
30	Arcane Dust
30	Netherweb Spider Silk
130	Rugged Leather
20	Knothide Leather
75	Coarse Thread*

30	Blue Dye*
10	Bleach*
60	Red Dye*
45	Silken Thread*
60	Heavy Silken Thread*
85	Rune Thread*

Step 2: Have a teleport to Shattrath(Ask a mage). Go to one of the inns and set your Heartstone. Now we are heading to Sanctum of the Sun in Shadowmoon Valley. If you don't have the FP you need to get running!

Leave Shattrath from one of its Eastern exits and start to follow the road east. If you haven't already got the Stonebreaker Hold (horde) or the Allerian Stronghold(Alliance) FP's, take the south fork in the road when at Tuurem and pick them up, if you have or are not interested, just keep following the road east, when the road forks again, take the southern fork, and continue into SMV.

Again if you want the FP's here, take the first road north you find for Shadowmoon Village(Horde) or take the first road south you find for Wildhammer Stronghold(Alliance).

Carry on along the road and you will eventually find the Sanctum of the Sun, just south of the road. Buy Imbued Netherweave Tunic (or robe) pattern from Arrond.

Use your hs to get to Shattrath again. If you have the flight path to Honor Hold/Thrallmar use it now. If not mount back up, leave Shattrath east and start following the road again, this time at the first fork, take the northern route into Hellfire, you will find the road disappears though, so just follow the map below. The blue routes are the optional horde FP's. I highly recommend getting the Falcon Watch FP though as it is the connecting FP between Shattrath and Thrallmar.

---

Step 3: Once you arrive find the Tailoring trainer (in the in for Horde) and start following the below guide!
Quote:

1 - 50: Bolt of Linen Cloth

50 - 70: Linen Bag

70 - 75: Reinforced Linen Cape

75 - 105: Bolt of Woolen Cloth

105 - 110: Gray Woolen Shirt

110 - 125: Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders

125 - 145: Bolt of Silk Cloth

145 - 160: Azure Silk Hood

160 - 170: Silk Headband

170 - 175: Formal White Shirt

175 - 185: Bolt of Mageweave

185 - 205: Crimson Silk Vest

205 - 215: Crimson Silk Pantaloons

215 - 220: Black Mageweave Leggings/Black Mageweave Vest

220 - 230: Black Mageweave Gloves

230 - 250: Black Mageweave Headband/Black Mageweave Shoulders

250 - 260: Bolt of Runecloth

260 - 275: Runecloth Belt

275 - 300: Runecloth Gloves

--275 - 300--Alternative: Brightcloth Cloak

300 - 325: Bolt of Netherweave

---

Step 4: -Time to go to Shattrah, Lower City. Camp yourself outside Eiin and buy all of his recipes. You'll need to stay here until 375 because of the Mana Loom right next to him-
325 - 340: Bolt of Imbued Netherweave

340 - 350: Netherweave Boots

--350 - 375--Alternative: Bolt of Frostweave(goes grey at 375 but sinse you will need hundreds of them later, may as well make them while they give you skill points!)

350 - 360: Netherweave Tunic

360 - 375: Imbued Netherweave Tunic

---

Step 5: Pick up one of the 3 Tailoring specialization quests and go complete it, there rather easy but check the rewards of each specialization before you complete a quest!

That's it so far, ill try and add some farming spots if people want, as depending on your cash it might be easier / cheaper to farm, although with the amount of gold you can now make in the latest expansion, it might be more profitable (in a gold / hour) to just farm something else to sell and buy the mats needed!
p.s. Massive thanks to whoever originally posted this list, i take no credit for that, i simply updated it a bit =)

Tailoring 375-450

Original Guide by: GrandPriest

Introduction:

---

Note that this is the fastest way to get to 450 - you can craft the optional items to sell or to use, but you’ll need more types of materials and it’ll cost a lot more and/or take longer

Special Perks for Tailors:
Tailors get unique cloak enchants (healer - Darkglow Embroidery, caster - Lightweave Embroidery, melee - Swordguard Embroidery) as well as an easy to craft Spellthread to use on their pants
-=Note=- it is not any better then the one they can craft for other players, however the materials are drastically cheaper
Finally tailors get to craft a magic carpet to ride on!(e.g. Swift Ebonweave Carpet)
Tailors also get a new ability learned from a world drop book - A Guide to Northern Cloth Scavenging - which increases the cloth drop rates of all Northrend Humonoids they kill!

For those saving TBC materials
You can still make rare/epic TBC tailoring items up to 395 (just about every pattern that crafts a rare/epic item that you learned at 375 will turn green at 390 and gray at 395) however this guide will focus on the cheapest materials to get to 450 - which in all cases points to new Northrend green tailoring items. If you still want to stock up on materials to level with TBC mats your best bet is to craft a ton of Golden Spellthread/Runic Spellthread as they are currently the cheapest high level items as well as still being somewhat useful in WOTLK.

The Guide:

---

Note every pattern listed is purchasable from the trainer or a vendor unless otherwise noted

Materials Required:
390 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave
275 Bolt of Frostweave
175 Eternium Thread

Doesn’t sound like much? Lets break it down further:

7225 Frostweave Cloth
780 Infinite Dust
175 Eternium Thread

---

350-375:
Bolt of Frostweave (5x Frostweave Cloth) x 1445
Not at 375 yet? No worries! You can make Bolt of Frostweaves until you are!

375-380:
Frostwoven Robe (4x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

375-425:
You can craft basically the entire Frostwoven and Duskweave set - which is worth it if you plan on using it. Otherwise this just goes over the cheapest items in these 2 sets to skill up with.

380-390:
Frostwoven Leggings (5x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x10

390-395:
Frostwoven Boots (4x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

395-400:
Frostwoven Leggings (5x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

400-405:
Bolt of Imbued Frostweave (3x Bolt of Frostweave, 2x Infinite Dust) x5
Craft as may of these as you can until it turns grey at 405, you’ll need it to level from 425-450. If you plan on leveling only to 440 you’ll need 90 of these. If you plan on leveling to 450 you need about 300 more LOL GOOD LUCK.

405-415:
Duskweave Wristwraps (8x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

415-420:
Duskweave Gloves (9x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

420-425:
Duskweave Shoulders (10x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

425-430:
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x5

Depending on if you have any Iceweb Spider Silk, Black Duskweave Wristwraps are the cheapest way to level to 430 - I included the Black Duskweave Leggings as they are a good pair of rare leggings that cost 1 extra Bolt of Imbued Frostweave.

Black Duskweave Wristwraps (4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Iceweb Spider Silk, 2x Eternium Thread) x5

Black Duskweave Leggings (5x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Iceweb Spider Silk, 2x Eternium Thread) x5

430-440:
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x10
Cheapest thing you can make at this point and at least you can auction them to get some gold back.

440-445:
Now this gets retardedly hard. There are a handful of patterns that stay yellow to 445 but the cheapest way to go is to just make 25x Frostweave Bags and pray that you get lucky. No seriously. The other option is to craft the 3 rare bags - however Ebonweave, Spellweave, and Moonshroud all have a 4 day cooldown (similar to the cloths in TBC) and the patterns all require reputation to buy.

Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x25

Optional : Abyssal Bag (4x Ebonweave, 2x Spellweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5 -
Pattern Obtained through Knights of the Ebon Blade Revered Reputation

Optional : Mysterious Bag (4x Spellweave, 2x Moonshroud, 1x Eternium Thread) x5 - Pattern Obtained through The Wyrmrest Accord Revered Reputation

Optional : Glacial Bag (4x Moonshroud, 4x Ebonweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5 - Pattern Obtained through The Son of Hodir Exalted Reputation

445-450:
You can also make the tailoring epic gloves now as well so might as well craft 1 to help level. Past that the cheapest way is still Frostweave Bag followed by the 2 rare bags. (Abyssal Bags turn green at 445 so is not on this list)

Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x25

Optional : Ebonweave Gloves (4x Ebonweave, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5

Optional : Moonshroud Gloves (4x Moonshroud, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5

Optional : Spellweave Gloves (4x Spellweave, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5

Optional : Mysterious Bag (4x Spellweave, 2x Moonshroud, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

Optional : Glacial Bag (4x Moonshroud, 4x Ebonweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
