Hey Kocmoc!
Thanks for your detailed comment!
For the Thorium Shield Spike, you are 100% correct with the required materials. The only thing to note is, as you mentioned, the drop rate is crazy low, and players may not want to spend too much farming for a recipe that would only get them a few levels. In Classic, we did see a lot of Thorium Shield Spikes being used, since that was the top-of-the-line shield spike so it was definitely worth spending that time farming, but now with TBC, Felsteel Shield Spike takes the crown.
As of right now, it does appear as though the quests are still in the game with the release of TBC Classic.
Hey Joe!
Sorry for the delayed response here! I'm sure you've already found the answers, but just in case!
Yes, the required materials have actually gone down on crafted items in the transition from Classic to TBC Classic.
And yes, 1-300 should be covered within the Vanilla section alone. And then 300-375 should be covered within the TBC section.
Sorry again!
That's a great catch! Thanks for letting us know! You are 100% correct! I think guides are more or less streamlined to maximize efficiency to allow players to learn the profession and level it up as fast as they possibly can.
660 solid stone for this:
200 – 210: Solid Grinding Stone
- Grind Solid Stone into Solid Grinding Stone.
??????????????????????????
Comment Removed - Personal attacks are unacceptable
The recipe for thorium shield spike goes for 400g on my server.
Don't buy 660 Solid Stones. You need like 100-140. You can also save some gold by buying Bronze Bars and make Rough Bronze Leggings instead of Heavy Grinding Stones.Think I've spent about 1.4k gold and im at 323 blacksmithing at the moment.
Hi, I was also blocked for mithril, specially for "Mithril Coif", next time please apply yourself when making a guide, I think poor guide too, no thanks for that :(

Just a little suggestion for leveling from 260-270.
By 260, Mithril Coif (and Mitrhil Spurs too, I imagine) is green, where attempting to gain 10 skill points off a green item is quite difficult: I managed to get 5 skill points after creating only 5 Mithril Coifs, and thought, well, let's just continue. I ended up creating probably 15 more (150 Mithril Bars) to only get 2 skill points.
I did some research and despite not being able to learn Plans: Imperial Plate Bracers until 270 skill, you can learn Plans: Imperial Plate Belt from 265 skill (both quests become available from the NPC in Gadgetzan at 265).
So, in the interest of time, and gold if you're buying bars off the AH, I'd recommend to buy the plan for the belt at 265 and make those until 270 if you're having trouble with the Mitrhil Coif/Spurs.
Just a suggestion, hope this helps anyone struggling at this point.
SO I FUCKING SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND SO MUCH TIME MAKING MITHRIL COIFS AND I DIDNT FUCKING KNOW I COULD JUST GET IMPERIAL PLATE BELT PLANS.
FUCK MY LIFE
