WoW Blacksmithing Gold Guide

Below is an overview video and detailed walkthrough on how to easily make gold with Blacksmithing. As shown in the video, this made me 9,918g in net sales with a profit of 5,591g in a week! This Blacksmithing Gold Guide is good even if you don't have a lot of startup gold. However, don't spend everything you have. Always start by testing the waters before sinking in a lot of gold into anything.
- WoW Blacksmithing Gold Guide: Overview - Get Blacksmithing mats, make low cost items, list on the Auction House, and collect gold.
- Check out my Blacksmithing Leveling 1-525 Guide for a great way to level Blacksmithing.
WoW Blacksmithing Gold Guide: Starting Out - Materials and Crafting
- First, gather some Blacksmithing mats.
There are three ways that I use to get Blacksmithing mats. I either purchase them from the Auction House or another player if they're cheap, or I farm them. If you want tips for farming Blacksmithing mats check out my Mining Gold Guide Part 1 and Mining Gold Guide Part 2
- Next, craft the different low cost items listed below.
I found these items to sell the best, but your server may be slighty different so don't be afraid to test out selling other low cost items.

[Titanium Rod]
[Titanium Shield Spike]
[Titanium Weapon Chain]
WoW Blacksmithing Gold Guide: Auctioning Items and Final Results
- Once you've crafted all of the items, list them on the Auction House for 24 hours.
While I prefer to just leave them up there, you can spam trade with 'WTS' ...item between Arena, BGs, and raids.
- Finally, you can collect your gold from the mailbox.
Break down of the items I sold in a week!
+ 9,918g - net sales
- 4,327g - mats
= 5,591g - total profit in a week! - Blacksmithing proved yet again it can be very profitable.
All the items sold pretty well except for the [Titanium Rod], [Titanium Shield Spike], and [Titanium Weapon Chain].
WoW Blacksmithing Gold Guide: Final Suggestions and Tips
- Once you get the hang of how much you sell begin purchasing mats during the weekend; they are typically the cheapest on the weekend.
The main reason for this, is most players aren't actually raiding on the weekends and have a lot more time to gather mats. With the abundance of mats comes the simple economic rule of supply exceeding demand which leads to lower prices. This doesn't mean 100% of the time they will be cheaper on the weekend but instead it makes it more likely. After you get a feel for mat prices you can purchase them throughout the week for the lowest prices.
- Checking on mats everyday will get you familar with who sells what.
Pay attention and take a look at who is selling mats all the time and message them to sell directly to you at a discount. This will save you big on the craft costs. I have countless farmers listed on my friend's list who I deal with regularly to get the cheapest price possible.
- Finally, World of Warcraft isn't just about making gold and really should be the smallest part of your playtime.
I hope this guide will help you get rich in World of Warcraft but at the same time free up farm time so you can actually enjoy the game for what it is meant to be; fun! So, don't sit at your computer 24-7 just to make gold. Go out, raid, PvP, whatever, just make sure to have fun (^_^)v.
Good luck and I hope you enjoyed this guide. If you have any suggestions, comments, or feedback, please make a post on our forums.
