How to level Blacksmithing from 1 to 225
The balanced route from 1 to 225 takes 19 steps and costs about 128 gold at current prices. Start with Rough Sharpening Stone, switch to Heavy Sharpening Stone by 100 and Heavy Mithril Pants by 200, and finish with Mithril Spurs. Learn Journeyman Blacksmith by 75 and Expert Blacksmith by 150, or the skill stops rising.

Shopping list
Expected amounts for whole crafts. An item costs the cheaper of the cheapest vendor seen selling it and its 7-day median at the auction house; one that neither sells is valued at its nominal client price. Enter what you pay to re-plan. Tick or count what you already have: it is used first, also for what you would craft from it, and is remembered in this browser.
