Smithing is one of the most beneficial Eve isk professions in the game. Almost any non-caster class can benefit from being a smith.
● Weapons created by smiths can sometimes fill in the weapon “gaps” present at some levels. Rogues, shamans, paladins, warriors, priests, some warlocks and some druids can all benefit from the weapons created by smiths.
● Where blacksmithing really shines is in its ability to create armor for mail and plate armor classes. The best smiths are indeed the heavy-armor wearing ones. Smiths can create some very good superior (blue) armor early on.
● Smiths can also create special stones that can be used to temporarily increase the damage on weapons. While the few points of damage boost don’t seem like much at first, damage points add up to a lot.
● At higher levels, smiths must chose between mastering in weapons or armor, but they can only choose one. Even after that, smiths must diversify further and chose between being an axe, sword, or hammer.
The specialty weapons and armors that come from these trees either cost a great deal, or require you to spend a lot of time gathering the ingredients. The plus side is that they sell very well.
