Do I need to be maxed out blacksmithing in classic to learn the tbc version?
Yes, to go up to 375 (cap in TBC) you need to be Blacksmithing 300 to learn it.
I definitely remember some fel iron recipes being learnable before 300 blacksmithing though, so you don’t have to get to 300 before you jump in the dark portal
The first TBC Blacksmithing patterns require skill 300 to learn from the trainer - being Fel Weightstone, Fel Sharpening Stone, and Fel Iron Rod (for Enchanting). You must be skill 300 before you can learn Master Blacksmithing and the first TBC patterns.
My main is an 300 Armorsmith. Will I be able to switch to Weaponsmith specifically Swordsmith during prepatch? or will I have to relearn the whole mostly useless profession? Lionheart blade is sexy af
It’s not like what Modern is doing now. Each crafting skill, primary or secondary, has its cap raised to 375 in BC. There is no entirely separate “TBC version”; someone who learns to work fel iron has gone through learning to work thorium first, just as someone who learns to work thorium has gone through learning to work mithril first.
Not sure tbh, it might 275 or 290. Better to be safe and just hit 300.
I can’t remember when they added the drop specilisation change. Pretty sure it was in TBC, Can’t remember exactly when.
Why didn’t u just google this?

If I recall, you can swap your profession specialization with the soothsaying for dummies gnome in Tanaris. Then you can do the appropriate quest to change your specialization, i.e. dragonscale leather working to tribal, or gnomish eng to goblin.
You can change blacksmithing specializations in TBC.
This dude is Correct. The 100g is just the cost of me giving you permission to do so. It’s worth it tho. I’m important, mom said so.
Soothsaying for Dummies is added around patch 2.1, so probably depending on what set of patches we get. I cant remember exactly but I think it knocks you down to 225 or so and theres an item/gold cost associated with it.
Ultimately though, it is possible without relearning or dropping your recipes.
