There are a lot of options for making gold with Blacksmithing in World of Warcraft. The challenge is finding the specific things to craft on your realm and find buyers for them. The most lucrative item to craft is the Eternal Belt Buckle and ought to be the staple of every Blacksmith’s income (see table below). With high cost items like Titansteel gear*, try to find a buyer before you craft the items. This isn’t necessary but it can save you a lot of hassle. You can find a piece, like a Titansteel Destroyer on the Auction House for 1500g and try selling it in trade for 1400g and when you find a buyer craft it up right quick and sell it for the discounted price. You can utilize the high price as testimony for why your customer should pay 1400g. To help determine the value of each item accurate to the Auction House prices, I’ve included the below tables for all of the best Blacksmithing items. You can print these off and write in the prices of each material and add them up to calculate how much you’ll need to sell the product for to make a profit. Most of the work with these high end items is in finding a buyer.

*Titansteel no longer sells this high. Each patch there is a new set of gear that can be crafted using the epic materials that drop from instances & raids.

* Patch 3.0 iLvl 200 epics crafted from Frozen Orbs (list)
* Patch 3.1 iLvl 226 items crafted from Runed Orbs (list)
* Patch 3.2 iLvl 245 items crafted from Crusader Orbs (list)
* Patch 3.3 iLvl 265 items crafted from Primordial Saronite (list)
