WoW Forever Mining Recipes

Every Smelting Recipe

Smelting turns ore into bars, and every recipe below uses materials per single craft.Source: Wago Tools: SkillLineAbility, SpellReagents and SpellEffect, build 1.60.1.70862, skill line 186, checked Nov 8, 2026. A forge is required where the client says so.

Yellow is where a recipe stops giving a guaranteed point, and gray is where it stops giving points. Where both numbers match, as with Steel, Mithril and Thorium, the client stores no band of skill gain, so treat those smelts as bar production.

Smelt Dark Iron is still bound to the Black Forge in the client text. How Forever teaches it isn't in the sources checked.

Learning Smelts and Where to Smelt

The client marks Smelting and Smelt Copper as learned with the skill, and every later smelt as a separate training row.Source: Wago Tools: SkillLineAbility, build 1.60.1.70862, AcquireMethod on skill line 186, checked Nov 8, 2026. WoW-Professions reports that the Junior Mining Trainers in starting zones teach only up to skill 75 and no smelting, so a full trainer is the place to learn Tin and Bronze.

Smelting can carry the early skill. WoW-Professions suggests buying about 140 Copper Ore and 70 Tin Ore to smelt from 1 to roughly 105, using Copper to 65, then 70 Tin and 70 Bronze from the bars you kept.Source: WoW-Professions: Mining Leveling Guide, checked Nov 8, 2026. That guide says it's based on the Forever beta. Those are its estimates, so keep a few extra ores.

The client also stores Smelt Obsidian-Infused Thorium Bar at 315 yellow, 330 gray. Its product item isn't in the client's item table, so it's left out above.

New Bars Compared With Classic

Azerothium and Heavy Thorium are the only new smelts with a bar in the client's item table. Every other smelt in the table has the same thresholds, materials and product count as Classic Era. WoW-Professions reports that any Mining trainer teaches both new smelts.Source: WoW-Professions: Mining Changes in WoW Forever, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Azerothium uses Pitchblende, which WoW-Professions lists as a Scarce material dropped from Thorium veins. It also places Heavy Thorium Ore in Heavy Thorium Veins in the Scourge area of Mount Hyjal, and describes them as Rich Thorium Veins with green fel smoke. The client text says the smelt requires a Molten Foundry. That foundry is the top Mining camp object below, and the only one WoW-Professions knows of, so Heavy Thorium sits behind a Blueprint.

What Each Bar Is For

Blacksmithing and Engineering take most of the bars. This table counts Forever client recipe rows that use each bar as a material. A row marked retired in the client is left out, and Mining's own smelts and camp objects aren't counted.Source: Wago Tools: SkillLineAbility and SpellReagents, build 1.60.1.70862, joined and counted Nov 8, 2026.

Tin Bars have one use in the client: Smelt Bronze. No recipe row in the nine crafts checked uses Elementium Bars, so don't plan on one.

Alchemists can turn Heavy Thorium Bars into Legionite Bar with Transmute: Legionite, and 17 Blacksmithing and 5 Engineering rows use Legionite.Source: WoW-Professions: Mining Changes and Wago Tools: SpellEffect, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026. Of the two new bars, Heavy Thorium appears in more recipe rows.

Three Scarce drops feed other crafts directly. Pyrite goes into 9 Tailoring, 4 Enchanting, 1 Alchemy and 1 Engineering recipes. Bauxite goes into 1 Enchanting and 1 Engineering recipe. Pitchblende goes into Smelt Azerothium and 1 Engineering recipe, Ultrasafe Rechargeable Battery. WoW-Professions reports that Pyrite drops from Copper, Tin and Iron veins, and Bauxite from Mithril veins.

Mining Camp Objects

Camp objects are Mining's only other crafted recipes. The client stores these three with their materials.Source: Wago Tools: SkillLineAbility and SpellReagents, build 1.60.1.70862, skill line 186, checked Nov 8, 2026.

WoW-Professions describes the Lodestone as a melee Attack Power buff that doesn't stack with Blessing of Might. The Rock Garden spawns a common mining node over time, and the Molten Foundry unlocks Smelt Heavy Thorium; both also give the Lodestone buff. It lists Blueprint: Rock Garden as a drop from Relic Guardians at the Excavation Site in the Wetlands.Source: WoW-Professions: Mining Changes, checked Nov 8, 2026. Blueprint: Molten Foundry requires 300 Mining. WoW-Professions names that Blueprint without a drop source, so plan on the foundry coming late.
