Learn Midnight Blacksmithing from Bemarrin in Silvermoon City. This expansion has its own 1–100 skill bar; older expansion skill does not need to be leveled first.

Craft counts and ingredients by stage

Stage Craft plan Inputs
1–15 About 25 Refulgent Copper Ingot crafts; save every ingot Each: 5 Refulgent Copper Ore + 2 Luminant Flux. Batch: 125 ore + 50 flux.
15–about 50 One of each new trainer recipe, revisiting Bemarrin as recipes unlock Use the first-craft basket below; the final skill depends on craft order. Equip the Thalassian Blacksmith’s Hammer and Toolbox you make.
50–70 Budget 50 Sterling Alloy crafts Each: 4 Luminant Flux + 6 Brilliant Silver Ore + 3 Refulgent Copper Ingot. Batch: 200 flux + 300 silver ore + 150 ingots.
70–100 Sun-Blessed Blacksmith’s Hammer in ten-craft batches, or eligible armor/weapon orders Each hammer: 1 Majestic Claw + 2 Dazzling Thorium + 5 Sterling Alloy. Ten: 10 claws + 20 thorium + 50 alloy.

Learn the Hammer through Craftsmithing → Trade Tools before committing to that route. It does not use Fused Vitality. Skill-ups become yellow at 90 and green at 95, so ten crafts do not guarantee ten points at the end. Sterling Alloy also becomes unreliable late in its stage; stop when the target is reached and keep its output for the Hammer.

First-craft basket and the next stage

Material Initial ingots + trainer first crafts Add for 50 Sterling Alloy crafts
Refulgent Copper Ore 125 0 if buying the additional ingots
Additional Refulgent Copper Ingot 100 150
Brilliant Silver Ore 6 300
Umbral Tin Ore 6 0
Dusk-Shrouded Stone 1 0
Luminant Flux, vendor 50 for initial ingots, plus each first-craft recipe’s flux 200

This basket follows the trainer first-craft route. The first 25 ingots are already produced by your 125 ore; the 100 listed ingots are additional stock for the remaining first crafts. Buy vendor flux as recipes are learned: the first-craft basket is not a complete flux total. Optional crafts and yellow skill-ups need extra materials.

Buy ingots or smelt them: compare the complete cost

One ingot consumes five copper ore and two flux. To self-smelt the 250 additional ingots across the two columns, replace those ingot purchases with 1,250 copper ore and 500 flux. Together with the initial 125 ore, that is 1,375 copper ore. Flux becomes 750 for the initial ingots, additional ingots and fifty alloys combined, plus the flux consumed by trainer first crafts. Do not also buy the 250 ingots.

An ingot is cheaper to make when five ore plus two vendor flux cost less than the finished ingot, before any Resourcefulness savings. Check the same reagent quality when comparing prices.

Reuse the alloy output in the final stage

The fifty Sterling Alloy crafts create fifty alloy at base yield, covering your first ten hammers. That first hammer batch therefore needs only 10 Majestic Claw and 20 Dazzling Thorium in additional purchases. For N total hammer crafts, the alloy shortfall is max(0, 5N − alloy already held), plus N claws and 2N thorium.

Example: twenty hammers require 100 alloy, 20 claws and 40 thorium. With fifty alloy saved, only fifty more alloy are needed. Making those fifty requires 300 silver ore, 150 ingots and 200 flux; buying them instead replaces that entire basket. If you take customer orders, subtract provided materials and reduce the number of hammers by the skill points those orders actually award.
