WoW Forever Blacksmithing 1 to 150: which recipes to craft and what they take

Every Blacksmithing recipe below except Cracked Blacksmith Hammer gives a skill point every time until it turns yellow, then only sometimes until it turns grey. Where a recipe's yellow and grey ranks are the same, it gives no further skill points once your skill reaches that rank. The list runs in the order the recipes turn yellow. Where a teaching item is listed, its required Blacksmithing rank is shown. Only recipes inside the beta's level cap are listed.
