New Dragonflight Blacksmithing features

There are a lot of new stats added to professions in Dragonflight, so here is a quick explanation for some of these.

Recipe Difficulty

Recipe Difficulty shows you how much profession skill is required to make a recipe at the highest quality. You can see your current profession Skill below the Recipe Difficulty stat.Your Skill comes from your base profession skill, specializations, profession equipment, racials, and using high-quality reagents. So, your profession skill can go well above 100.

Item Quality

Every crafted piece of Blacksmithing armor and weapon has 5 different qualities. Blacksmithing Crafted Reagents, Enchantments, and Consumable items have 3 different qualities.

Basically, if you have higher skill, you can make higher-ilvl gear, higher-quality consumables that give more stat, and higher-quality reagents that give more profession skill when used in recipes.

Inspiration, Multicraft, Resourcefulness

Inspiration: Each time you craft something, there is a chance you get Inspired and craft the recipe with some bonus profession skill, so you can craft an item with higher quality than you could normally.
Resourcefulness: You have a chance to use fewer reagents.
Multicraft: You have a chance to craft additional items. (doesn't work on crafted gear, only consumables and reagents)

Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge

Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge points are the "talent points" you can put into your profession specialization to learn new skills, stats, and bonuses.

Blacksmithing Crafting Orders

Crafting Orders are a new way for players to request a crafter to craft something for them. The interface looks like the Auction House, but instead of players posting Auctions, it will be filled with Crafting Orders you can complete as a Blacksmith.

Completing crafting orders can give you skill points if you complete orders for items that would normally give you a skill point.

How to Complete Crafting Orders

Clicking on the Crafting Orders tab at the bottom of your profession window will open up the Crafting Order UI, where you can browse Crafting Orders posted by other players. You must be near a Crafting Table for your profession to be able to access Crafting Orders.

Blacksmithing Crafting Table location

You can find the Blacksmithing crafting table in Valdrakken on the small platform marked in the picture below. For some reason, it is near the Mining trainer but not the Blacksmithing trainer!

Shopping List

This is the total list of materials required to reach 100.

Leveling Dragonflight Blacksmithing

There are 3 races with extra Blacksmithing skill as their racial trait. Any extra Blacksmithing skill means recipes stay orange for more points. You can save a lot of gold by doing lower-level recipes for more points.

Lightforged Draenei have +10 Blacksmithing skill from Forge of Light
Dark Iron Dwarves have +5 Blacksmithing skill from Mass Production.
Kul Tirans have +5 skill in all professions from the trait Jack of All Trades

First Craft Bonus

You will get 1xDragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge talent pointeach time you craft something for the first time. Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge is very valuable and has a weekly cap from other sources.

So, sometimes you will see I recommend crafting a recipe that's slightly more expensive to make. This is because I think it's better to get the bonuses while they give you skill points. You will want to get all of them eventually.

Primal Flux is sold by blacksmithing supply vendors. If you are leveling in Valdrakken, you can buy it from Kognir.

Blacksmithing Specializations

When you hit 25, you will unlock Blacksmithing specializations.

Which Specialization to choose first?

I recommend choosing Armorsmithing as your first specialization. (you can learn all 4 as you level up your profession)

You will need 50 skill points to unlock the second specialization, 65 for the third, and 75 for the fourth. 65 is very easy to reach, but it may take a little longer to level to 75.

Where should you put your Dragon Isles Blacksmithing Knowledge talent points?

Don't spend any points yet. I recommend leveling your profession to 65 first. You will need 20 points to unlock a recipe that you will use to level Blacksmithing. (more on this later)

1x Draconium Axe - 12x Serevite Ore, 6x Draconium Ore

65 - 100

From this point, almost every recipe that give you skill point requires a Spark of Ingenuity. This crafting reagent Binds on Pickup (BoP), so you can't just buy it from the Auction House.

Below is a step-by-stepguide on how to get Spark of Ingenuity to level your profession. Step 1 is the most time-consuming, but it's account-wide, and it's something you probably already completed.

Step 1. #Dragonflight campaign quests

To get Spark of Ingenuity, you must complete the Dragonflight main story campaign quests until you unlock World Quests. This is ACCOUNT-WIDE, so you only need to complete these quests with one of your characters. If you open your quest log, you will find these quests at the top in the campaign section under the "Dragonflight" title.

Complete the Dragonflight campaign quests until you get Renown of the Dragon Isles from Alexstrasza the Life-Binder.
Talk to Therazal to complete Renown of the Dragon Isles.

Step 2. #Engine of Innovation Questline

Pick up the Learning Ingenuity quest from Therazal. This quest will start the Engine of Innovation Questline that will award you with Spark of Ingenuity.

Talk to Greyzik Cobblefinger to complete Learning Ingenuity and pick up the Jump-Start? Jump-Starting! quest.

If you have already completed the Engine of Innovation Questline with one of your characters, you don't have to do it again. Talk to Greyzik Cobblefinger to skip the quests, and then talk to Maiden of Inspiration to get your 5x Spark of Ingenuity.

Otherwise, you must complete the entire Engine of Innovation Questline until you get all five Spark of Ingenuity.

Step 3. #Spending Knowledge Points and Crafting Bracers

Put your first 20 points in the Armorsmithing specialization like this:

Put 10 points into Armorsmithing.
Learn the Fine-Armor sub-specialization, then put 10 points into Fine-Armor.
Learn the Vambraces sub-specizalization. This will teach you the Primal Molten Vambraces recipe.

Craft 5x Primal Molten Vambraces - 70x Primal Molten Alloy

You can make any other Primal Molten armor if you have more knowledge points to spend. You can learn the other recipes the same way in the other sub-specializations.

Step 4. #Getting more Sparks

To level to 100, you will need another 8x Spark of Ingenuity. Unfortunately, you can't get more than 5 on one character. However, you can use the crafting order system to send crafting orders to your characters, so you can get more from your alts or by creating trial characters.

Creating a trial character

If you have two level 58 alt characters, you can skip this part and use them instead of creating trials.

Go to the character selection screen and click "Create New Character" in the bottom left corner.
On the character creation page, tick the "Class Trial" box in the bottom left corner.
Choose any class and talents, then create your Character.
Go to the portal room in Orgrimmar/Stormwind and click on the Valdrakken portal.

Skipping quests to get 5x Sparks

Talk to Greyzik Cobblefinger about skipping the quests, and then talk to Maiden of Inspiration.
Talk to the crafting order NPC Clerk Silverpaw in Valdrakken.
Click on Armor -> Plate -> Wrist, then click "Search" and pick Primal Molten Vambraces.
Change Public Order to Personal Order in the top right, then type in your main character name.
You don't have to fill in materials besides the Spark of Ingenuity in the "Spark" slot. You can fill the rest of the materials with your main.
Log in with your main, and go to the Blacksmithing crafting table in Valdrakken. (scroll back to the crafting order section above in the guide if you don't know where it is)
Open your profession window and click the Crafting Orders tab at the bottom.
Click on the Personal Tab and complete the Primal Molten Vambraces crafting orders from your alts.
Repeat these steps above until you reach 100.
