Blacksmithing Guide for Season of Discovery (SoD) Phase 5

Blacksmithing Guide for Season of Discovery (SoD)

Phase 5 of Season of Discovery retains the 300 skill cap introduced in Phase 3 for professions, allowing players to max out their crafting and gathering skills in case they haven’t already done so. For the Blacksmithing profession, you’ll be able to hammer out almost any set of plans in the game, as well as a few new craftable items that have been added for this season.

Blacksmithing Leveling & Trainers

Check out our SoD Blacksmithing Leveling Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough for leveling the Blacksmithing profession, including trainer locations.

Learning Artisan Blacksmithing

From Phase 3 onward, players were able to level their professions all the way to 300 skill, or Artisan level – the maximum skill for Vanilla WoW.

Artisan Blacksmithing can only be learned from one specific trainer:

Blacksmithing Specialization

In Season of Discovery, Blacksmithing Specializations took an unexpected beneficial turn, with players now being able to craft a plethora of overhauled recipes for either type of specialization they acquire! Additionally, players are given many recipes that are not bound to a specific Specialization, allowing all blacksmiths to craft them. Furthermore, in Phase 5 of Season of Discovery, players are no longer limited to a single specialization, with the developers removing the mutually exclusive limit for the profession. This change allowed players to learn all the possible Blacksmithing Specializations, Armorsmith and Weaponsmith, including the different Weaponsmithing Specializations, providing a broad spectrum of craftable items.

The way the specializations are acquired remained the same as it was back in Vanilla WoW! For a complete walkthrough to completing the quests, check out our Blacksmithing Specialization Guide.

New Blacksmithing Plans for Season of Discovery

Several new recipes have been added to the Blacksmithing profession for Season of Discovery.

Phase 5 doesn’t add any specific new recipes, instead, bringing the Zandalar Tribe recipes which were also available in Vanilla WoW:

Phase 4 adds a plethora of new recipes that can be crafted and revamped items that require materials made by specialized blacksmiths:

Phase 3 adds three new Bind-on-Pickup shoulder items to craft:

In Phase 2, there were also three brand new recipes for Season of Discovery:

There were three more Blacksmithing plans added to the game in Phase 1:

Phase 5 Blacksmithing Plans

Here are the best Blacksmithing plans you can craft in Phase 5 of Season of Discovery! We will list all of the specialization exclusives, including the new Sulfuron Hammer which is not tied to a specialization, so you’ll be able to see what you can craft before picking a specialization. Beginning with Phase 4, players were able to access the Black Forge inside Blackrock Depths, alongside the plans that could be learned from Lokhtos Darkbargainer.

Additionally, Phase 4 introduced a plethora of revamped items that could be directly bought from Lokhtos Darkbargainer, using the items crafted by Armorsmiths and Weaponsmiths as prime materials, alongside other items that could be acquired from the Molten Core. Furthermore, even more plans were introduced as drops from some bosses and specific elite mobs which were specifically tied to the Blacksmithing Specializations.

Pretty sure you can’t make the Truesilver Gauntlets as those require Armorsmith?

Ah, you’re right. I missed that since it’s from the Armorsmithing quest and not the trainer. Thank you!
