seriously xy, youll be eating your words soon as you hit the 360-375 run in smithing. like seo says, its f*cking expensive.
as for the topic, consider this: 250ish smithing used to be "almost endgame" as far as smithing was concerned. mithril was the second to last mine-able ore before you hit the endgame of vanilla WoW. when it comes to endgame recipes, the large majority of them are dropped, with some being repped, and others being quested.
which brings me to my point....are you making mithril spurs? thats what i did around that level. easy skill ups. problem is, its a world drop recipe.
if that doesnt work, you could do the mithril order line of quests, which will run you 200ish ore (mostly mithril, some gold and truesilver) and a few gems too.
or you could do what a many of us did and use yellow/green recipes to eke out a few skill. if all you do is make orange recipes, youll spend a lot of cash getting skill that you could get at a much cheaper price. yeah yeah, orange is guaranteed, yellow is not. thems the breaks.
point of this being: the recipes DO exist. theyre just not trainable. also, using yellow or even green recipes to skill up with, especially if theyre easy on the mat cost, isnt a bad thing.
think of this as a small sample of what youll get from 360-375. nothing in any profession compares to that grind.
I haven't tried Spurs or Shield Spikes yet, thanks for the suggestion.
I was thinking of getting the recipes, but as you said, they are world drops, and people usually want simply outrageous prices on the AH for them, and they are usually kinda rare...
But I'll look for em.
I *expect* 300+ to be assinine; such is to be expected... just like anything else in Outland, its all Extremes. 6000g for Epic Flying Mount, Big "omgwtf" crafting stuff, etc.
