Any tips for a Blacksmith in TWW?

My plan as of now is to go into weapon smithing, is this worth it?
Any particular thing I should be rushing?
Is there any good addons for profession crafting? (i’d really like one that helps me calculate my odds better of crafting a r5 with optimal ingredients)

SoulsoBreezy has done videos for all of the War Within professions. I don’t know anything about addons, though.

He did do a video on addons… but I haven’t watched it yet to see if there’s a profession one in there.

CraftSim does that. It’s pretty much mandatory if you do any real crafting in WoW.

there isn’t much RNG involved in TWW crafting - that concentration mechanism will guarantee you a rank if you are anywhere close.

i feel like i’m “forced” (lol) to take alchemy and engineering for longer duration flasks and battlerez

i feel inefficient without those. but then i need another toon for the gathering or i’ll be poor all xpack D:

this is false, i’ve been doing ‘real crafting’ without it just fine. check the cheeves for cred.

Good for you. That addon still does a lot of useful things like simulate what materials you need for what rank item, and tells you exactly which profession talents benefit each craft.
