Midnight Blacksmithing Leveling Guide
Midnight Blacksmithing Changes
If you already played The War Within, here's what changed. Most of the system is the same, so you won't have trouble adapting.
- Quality Changes - Bronze-quality reagents and consumables have been removed in Midnight. All reagents and consumables now only have two quality levels: Silver and Gold. This means you will always get at least a Silver-quality item, and you can use your Concentration right away to craft Gold-quality items. Weapons, armor, and profession equipment still have 5 ranks.
- Artisan Blacksmith's Moxie - The BoP currency
Artisan's Acuity that you got from earning profession Knowledge in The War Within has been changed to a profession-specific currency, 
Artisan Blacksmith's Moxie. You can now only use it for Blacksmithing-specific recipes. - Epic Profession Gear - New Epic-quality profession gear is available. They give the same Skill as Rare gear, but have higher secondary stats like Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Ingenuity.
- Ignition Buff Removed - The temporary crafting buff from The War Within (where you had to craft an ignition item before crafting gear) is gone. You now get permanent stat bonuses through the specialization tree instead.
- Frameworks Gone - The framework system from The War Within has been removed. These optional reagents now come from patron order bag rewards instead.
Blacksmithing Knowledge in Midnight
One-Time Sources
These are one-time sources of Blacksmithing Knowledge Points. Once you collect them, they are gone forever on that character.
- Renown Book -
Beyond the Event Horizon: Blacksmithing gives 10 Knowledge Points. Sold by Void Researcher Anomander in the Voidstorm for 75 Artisan Blacksmith's Moxie. Requires Renown 9 with The Singularity. - Treasures - There are 8 Blacksmithing treasures scattered across the Midnight zones. Each one gives 3 Knowledge Points, for a total of 24 extra points. See the treasure locations below.
Weekly Sources
In Midnight, there are four weekly sources of profession Knowledge, giving you ~19 Knowledge Points per week. But this is only an estimate, because Patron Orders require crafting specific items at high quality, so your actual weekly total will be lower if you don't have the recipe or can't hit the quality target.
| Source | Details |
|---|---|
| Patron Crafting Orders (~12 KP) | Patron orders are the main source of Knowledge Points. You will receive multiple orders throughout the week. Some of them will reward you with  Glimmer of Midnight Blacksmithing Knowledge, but not all orders give knowledge points. |
| Weekly Quest (2 KP) | Your profession trainer will offer a weekly quest that asks you to complete 3 Crafting Orders. This rewards a  Thalassian Blacksmith's Journal worth 2 Knowledge Points and resets every week. If you don't see the quest, you first need to complete the  Crafters Needed questline from Captain Flaresworn to unlock it. |
| Weekly Drops (4 KP) | Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones:  Thalassian Whetstone and  Infused Quenching Oil. |
| Inscription Treatise (1 KP) | To get a  Thalassian Treatise on Blacksmithing, you need to submit a Public Crafting Order since they are bind-on-pickup (BoP). Treatises are Warbound, so if you have an alt with Inscription, you can craft them and send them to your main. |
| Darkmoon Faire (3 KP / month) | Once a month, the Darkmoon Faire comes to town and you can complete a quick profession quest for +3 Knowledge Points and +2 Profession Skill. It's not a weekly source, but don't skip it. The Faire starts on the Sunday before the first Monday of each month. |
| Catch-up System | If you fall behind or start late, you will receive  Flicker of Midnight Blacksmithing Knowledge from orders until you are caught up. |
Blacksmithing Knowledge Treasures
There are 8 Blacksmithing treasures in Midnight, giving 24 Knowledge Points in total (3 KP each). They are located in Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm.

Midnight Blacksmithing Specialization Guide & Best Builds
Profession Equipment
Epic profession gear is new in Midnight. In The War Within, professions only had Green and Rare gear. Epic gear gives the same Skill as Rare, but has higher secondary stats like Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Ingenuity.
Profession Gear for Blacksmiths
Blacksmiths can craft their own Hammer and Toolbox. You will need to get the apron from a Leatherworker.

Midnight Blacksmithing Recipes
Blacksmiths can craft three tiers of Plate Armor in Midnight. Rare (Blue) gear is learned from the trainer and is great for alts or fresh characters gearing up. Epic (Purple) gear requires specialization points in Armorsmithing and can be upgraded to Mythic-raid item levels with the right Crests.
PvP gear has its own vendor and is mostly useful for players who want a cheaper starting point with PvP-specific stats. The recipes are Green quality, but the crafted items scale based on your Skill and optional reagents.

Blacksmiths can craft daggers, swords, axes, maces, fist weapons, polearms, and warglaives. If you play a melee class, this is how you craft your own weapons.
Epic weapons require points in the Weaponsmithing specialization. Some recipes drop from specific rare enemies or are sold by vendors in Silvermoon City. If you're specializing in weapons, check the source column to plan which recipes to prioritize.
Blood Knight's Mercy, 
Blood Knight's Warblade, 
Magister's Cleaver, 
Magister's Mana Sword, and 
Magister's Ritual Knife are also sold by Eriden / Lyrendal in Silvermoon City.

Embellished gear comes with powerful unique effects. You can only equip two embellished items at a time across all your gear. Alloys are required materials for most Blacksmithing recipes. Whetstones and Weightstones are 2-hour weapon buffs with steady AH demand.
