At skill level 200 and character level 40, Blacksmiths can choose to specialize as an Armorsmith or a Weaponsmith. Weaponsmiths can later further specialize into Hammer-, Axe- or Swordsmiths. All specialized armor and weapons are Bind on Pickup and can only be used by the blacksmith that made them. Most specialization recipes require difficult components, such as Primal Mights, Primal Nethers, and Nether Vortexes. If you want to read more about Blacksmith specialization, please visit these pages: Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing.

• 445 – 450

  You can continue to make [Daunting Legplates], but the recipe will be green. Other option is to craft epic items for players, without a fee. I don’t really recommend to craft them with your own materials, because Naxxramas is so easy, everyone can get free epics from there. Not much player are willing to buy the crafted epics from the AH. It’s too risky.
