Learn how to craft each of the following weapons of historical significance.

Weaponsmithing, Reborn is a 5-point achievement earned by learning to craft each of six historically significant weapon lines using Pandaria Blacksmithing recipes obtained on the Isle of Thunder.

1

Unlock Pandaria Blacksmithing

On each character you plan to use, take the portal to Pandaria in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, pick up the introductory quest, and visit Zen Master Lao to learn level 1 Pandaria Blacksmithing.

2

Kill Itoka for Plans

Travel to the Isle of Thunder and kill Itoka at 58, 34. Itoka drops a Strange Metal Ingot, which you turn in at the nearby Thunder Forge — enter the door at 58.71, 30.67 and use the Anvil of the Thunder Forges at 60.13, 28.56. Turning in the ingot rewards all six plans: Plans: Planar Edge, Reborn, Plans: Drakefist Hammer, Reborn, Plans: Fireguard, Reborn, Plans: Lunar Crescent, Reborn, Plans: Thunder, Reborn, and Plans: Lionheart Blade, Reborn.

Farm Lightning Steel Ingots Daily

Each Lightning Steel Ingot requires a daily cooldown and is Bind on Pickup, crafted at the Anvil of the Thunder Forges at 60.13, 28.56 using Ghost Iron Bars (the first ingot is free, then approximately 140 Ghost Iron Bars per character for 15 ingots total). To complete the full achievement across all six weapon lines you need 180 Lightning Steel Ingots total, which takes 180 days on a single character or as few as 14 days spread across 6 characters each contributing 15 ingots.

Craft Each Weapon Chain

Each weapon line has three tiers that must be crafted in sequence at the Anvil of the Thunder Forges at 60.13, 28.56 — crafting each tier teaches the next recipe. The six chains and their Living Steel costs are: Planar Edge (2) → Black Planar Edge (4) → Wicked Edge of the Planes (6); Drakefist Hammer (2) → Dragonmaw (6) → Dragonstrike (6); Fireguard (2) → Blazeguard (4) → Blazefury (6); Lunar Crescent (3) → Mooncleaver (6) → Bloodmoon (9); Thunder (3) → Deep Thunder (4) → Stormherald (9); Lionheart Blade (3) → Lionheart Champion → Lionheart Executioner. You only need to craft up through the second tier of each chain (not the final weapon) to learn all the recipes required for the achievement, reducing the Lightning Steel Ingot requirement to 90 instead of 180.

Tips

  • If you do not want to craft Living Steel yourself, Living Steel is not Bind on Pickup and can be purchased from the Auction House.

  • Spreading the daily Lightning Steel Ingot cooldown across 6 characters reduces the time gate from 180 days down to 14 days, with each character needing approximately 140 Ghost Iron Bars to produce 15 ingots.

  • Because you only need to learn each recipe — not craft the final tier — you can stop at the second weapon in each chain, cutting the total Lightning Steel Ingot requirement to 90 if you are not pursuing the transmog appearances.
