    [Blacksmithing] Gold Guide

    Introduction

    Greetings.

    After the success of my last thread - [Tailoring] Gold Guide - I've decided to create another for the profession,
    Blacksmithing.

    Using the same tactics as the tailoring guide, I will show you how Blacksmithing can be an excellent money maker once you hit the 450 mark.


    The Patterns


    The ones I currently use are obtained from the Trial of the Crusader. They can also be bought from the Auction house but isn't advised if you can't afford it. You could acquire them through raiding or Guild Bank.

    If you read the last guide, you'll notice that I don't craft any Icecrown Citadel patterns. This is due to the fact it costs 1 x Primordial Saronite per pattern = 23 x Emblem of Frost. On average, one of those is worth 1200 Gold + and many more are used in the construction of the item = NOT WORTH IT.


    Investment, Skill, Profit
    Prices for this guide have come from all the European Realms. Found by using the Website - WoWEcon


    To master any of the above patterns you will need 450 Blacksmithing. Pretty obvious, but it needed to be said.

    The 2 major materials that are required for these patterns are the:

    Crusader Orb - Each one will cost : 124 Gold
    Titansteel Bar - Each one, roughly worth : 130 Gold 72 Silver
    The other materials that may be required for these patterns are:

    Saronite Bar - Each one will cost : 1 Gold 80 Silver
    Eternal Life - Each one, roughly worth : 21 Gold 71 Silver
    Majestic Zircon = 149 Gold 82 Silvereach.

    So, in order for you to create Saronite Swordbreakers, you will require:

    4 x Crusader Orb = (4 x 124) = 496 Gold
    20 x Saronite Bar = 36 Gold
    8 x Titansteel Bar = (8 x 130.72) = 1045 Gold 76 Silver

    A grand total of = 1577 Gold 76 Silver, if items are purchased straight off the Auction House.
    So, in order for you to create Breastplate of the White Knight, you will require:

    8 x Crusader Orb = (8 x 124) = 992 Gold
    2 x Crusader Orb = (2 x 149.82) = 299 Gold 64 Silver
    8 x Eternal Life = (8 x 21.71) = 173 Gold 68 Silver
    12 x Titansteel Bar = (12 x 130.72) = 1568 Gold 64 Silver

    A grand total of = 3033 Gold 96 Silver, if items are purchased straight off the Auction House.

    So, in order for you to create Sunforged Bracers, you will require:

    4 x Crusader Orb = (4 x 124) = 496 Gold
    12 x Eternal Life = (12 x 21.71) = 260 Gold 52 Silver
    8 x Titansteel Bar = (8 x 130.72) = 1045 Gold 76 Silver

    A grand total of = 1802 Gold 28 Silver, if items are purchased straight off the Auction House.


    Reducing the cost of production


    Expensive. Well, there are a few ways we can reduce the cost of such a fine piece of armour for maximum profit.

    As a miner you will have the ability to Smelt Titansteel Bars. After Blizzard removed the Cooldown in 3.3.3 prices have dropped considerably.

    3 x Titanium Bar = (3 x 17 Gold) = 51 Gold
    1 x Eternal Life = 21 Gold 71 Silver
    1 x Eternal Earth = 4 Gold 18 Silver
    1 x Eternal Shadow = 9 Gold

    Total for one Titansteel Bar = 85 Gold 89 Silver
    Already saving you 44 Gold 83 Silver per Titansteel Bar. But we can do better than that...

    An Alchemist will have the ability to create Titanium Bars. A regeant for the Titansteel bars.

    8 x Saronite Bars are required. This costs you 14 Gold 40 Silver.


    Another Alchemist trick to greatly reduce the cost of the Majestic Zircon is to transmute it ever 20 hours.

    1 x Eternal Air = 17 Gold
    1x Sky Sapphire = = 7 Gold 33 Silver

    Total for one = 24 Gold 33 Silver - Though you'll have to wait 40 hours to create both.

    Nifty trick. If your going for maximum profit then your probably going to want to wait for the cooldown to expire. Or you could purchase the second one from the Auction House. Up to you really.
    Now to significantly reduce the price for all the patterns, not just two.

    Patch 3.3.3 introduced a new vendor called Frozo the Renowned who will trade you a Crusader Orb for 6 Frozen Orbs.

    Frozen Orbs go for around: 16g. So, 6 x 16g = 96 Gold = A Crusader Orb.

    Final tallies

    If you can't deal with maths, then maybe this isn't for you.


    Using all the techniques described above, such as the use of Alchemy and Mining with Blacksmithing and the Crusader Orb technique, the prices for each pattern are as followed:

    Breastplate of the White Knight:

    8 x Eternal Life = (8 x 21.71) = 173 Gold 68 Silver
    2 x Majestic Zircon = (2 x 24.33) = 48 Gold 66 Silver
    12 x Titansteel Bar = (12 x 85.89) = 1030 Gold 68 Silver
    8 x Crusader Orb** = (8 x 96) = 768 Gold

    Total for one = 2021 Gold 2 Silver
    ** Crusader Orbs are purchased using the Frozen Orbs technique. This needs highlighting.

    Sunforged Bracers:

    12 x Eternal Life = (12 x 21.71) = 260 Gold 52 Silver
    8 x Titansteel Bar = (8 x 85.89) = 687 Gold 12 Silver
    4 x Crusader Orb** = (4 x 96) = 384 Gold

    Total for one = 1331 Gold 64 Silver
    Finally...

    Saronite Swordbreakers:

    20 x Saronite Bars = (20 x 1.80) = 36 Gold
    8 x Titansteel Bar = (8 x 85.89) = 687 Gold 12 Silver
    4 x Crusader Orb** = (4 x 96) = 384 Gold

    Total for one = 1107 Gold 12 Silver

    Conclusion


    Please remember that all economies vary on different servers and that this may not be a source of income for you. If your not an alchemist or miner I advise you to find one. Maybe a friend or guildy.


    Again I will try and keep this updated, but I do have a job. Not been able to take pictures this time around due to the fact I am being powerleveled.

    I hope this has helped!

    Editted some grammar and spelling errors.

    23.4.10

    @Brucey69 - Sadly no. I haven't got any other ToC Blacksmithing Plans other than those and the IC ones are just too expensive to make a quick profit.
