- Expansion: WoW Classic
Phase 6 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 Classic Blacksmithing Guide for trainer locations, a leveling guide, and more. Everything in that guide applies to Season of Discovery except for the level requirements for higher skill ranks (level 26 for Expert and level 41 for Artisan). There are some new recipes that are exclusive to Season of Discovery which we’ll cover in this guide, but they aren’t needed for leveling.
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:
- Brikk Keencraft at Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Bay (29.0, 75.6)
Blacksmithing Specialization
In Season of Discovery, Blacksmithing specializations gained a plethora of overhauled recipes, as well as many recipes that are not bound to a specific specialization. Furthermore, as of 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.

Phase 6 Blacksmithing Plans
Here are the best Blacksmithing plans you can craft in Phase 6 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 your first 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. Even more plans were introduced as drops from some bosses and specific elite mobs which were specifically tied to the Blacksmithing Specializations.

Thanks!
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!
You can, you can learn armor smithing this phase, it just looks like you cant do weapon specializations
Yep, these comments were from the last phase.
