This item is wonderful for leveling blacksmithing. I think it stayed orange for me until at least 415 blacksmithing, and the mat costs are very low. Also, the chestpiece disenchants quite nicely since it is a level 170 green. Great deal for the mats that you spend to make it.

Edit: When this comment was originally made, this recipe only required 4xCobalt Bar. With the 3.0.8 materials increase to 8xCobalt Bar and 2xCrystallized Water, this isn't quite as wonderful as it used to be. Still, when it was good, it was very, very good.

Can confirm it turns yellow at 415.

The plans drop from Venture Co. Excavators (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=28123) who can be found in Sholazar Basin.

To all Blacksmiths out there, save all your cobalt ore/bars for this recipe and you get straight to 415 spending only 4 cobalt bars / level. As grishnaar said, you need a total of 160 saronite ore/bars to level from 375 to 415.

Note that the same mobs also have a chance to drop the Heavy Frostweave Bandage Manual (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=39152) which is BoP, so you might kill two birds with one stone. ;}

Enjoy leveling!

Im surprised no one commented on the droprate yet, as it is a pretty important thing (for me at least) to know.

Anyway, I wanted this for my level 72 alt warrior and I was lucky enough to talk a guild mate of mine into helping me. We cleared the camp just about 3 times before it dropped so although the droprate isnt too bad I still wouldnt recommend you going there alone if you are still low level for the area - eventhough you can most likely kill the mobs you will probably end up being frustrated because you hoped for the droprate to be higher (it could be of course - I might just have been unlucky). Not to forget, the mobs are pretty close packed in the camp so you will get multiple mobs quite a few times which isnt exactly what you want if youre already having a hard time fighting singles.

Happy farming!

Like most profession-only drops, don't let wowhead's rate intimidate you. This dropped for me after five kills.

Kommentar von 262166

Dropped for me on my first kill. You have several quests in the Venture Co. anyway, you're almost guaranteed to get it doing the quests you get from Nesingwarys, so don't forget to pick those up if you are of the required level prior to going for these.

Kommentar von turtyl

Over 150 kills, and I haven't seen a drop yet. 435 BS.

Kommentar von BabyToe

Dropped for me tonight off my 6th Excavator kill while doing the Nessingwary quests. Was going to grind it out later when im 80 but this works for me =]

Kommentar von 72805

Sounds like the droprate is about 5% if you are a BS. I killed about fifteen on my 72 pally, 368/450 BS, before a shammy came by doing the quest. I asked if he'd group with me (to speed things up) and we got it on the first kill.

Oddly, I got the heavy frostweave book (a low chance world drop) on the third kill.

For those of you who it took a long time for, at a 5% drop rate, there's still an unlucky 7.7% of smiths who won't get the drop after 50 kills -- and 1% who won't get it after 90. But just remember, drops are conditionally independent so each new goblin has the same chance!

Kommentar von 150992

This took 58 kills to get for me, not to painful, only about 25 minutes. No real downtime at all as they are really easy to kill just keep circling the camp.

Also got me about 7% of my level (77-78) while rested

Decided to test how profitable it was to buy cobalt bars and make this chestpiece of them and then disenchant it.

I bought all stacks for 50 - 55g each.
I ended up with 22 stacks of bars. Spent about 1100 - 1200 gold totally.

Result (disenchanted into):
25 > 2 Infinite Dust
21 > 3 Infinite Dust
21 > 4 Infinite Dust
15 > 5 Infinite Dust

12 > 1 Greater Cosmic Essence
13 > 2 Greater Cosmic Essence

2 Dream Shards

38 Greater Cosmic Essence x 25g (server price) = 950g
278 Infinite Dust x 4.5g (server price) = 1251g

Total money put into it: Approx. 1100 - 1200 gold.
Outcome: Approx. 2200 gold.

Doubled the cash.

Half of these posts are pointless.

It simply -doesn't matter- if you got the plans after a couple kills. That has NOTHING to do with the drop rate.

Mobs SPAWN with their drops. Absolutely NOTHING you do will change what they drop. "Being a blacksmith" will not change the drop rate, and just because YOU got lucky and killed a mob that dropped it doesn't mean "the drop rate is higher than listed".

The recipe drops from a single mob. You can loot it even if you aren't a Blacksmith and don't have high enough Blacksmith level to learn it (which is different than some of the Lich King recipes where you MUST have the level req to loot it). That really is all that should be commented on this page.

Kommentar von 255933

I've killed like 30 Excavators (and some riff) to get this pattern.

Kommentar von 294983

does it drop from the Venture Co. Excavator ?

Kommentar von 306483

This is indeed a sweet recipe for leveling blacksmith.

Just went to Sholazar Basin to farm the recipe, took me about 5 minutes to get the drop. Killed about 20 mobs so wasnt to shabby. ;o)

Kommentar von Himself

Took me about 60 kills to get it, around 15 minutes.

Kommentar von 12727

As of patch 3.0.8, the material requirements for this plan have been more than doubled, from 4 cobalt bars to 8 cobalt bars and 2 crystallized water. It may still be worth making for skill points, but it's no longer the free ride to 420 it was before.

Kommentar von 9762

It's Patch 3.0.8. I just started farming these today but after clearing the camp over and over, these plans did NOT drop. Be warn if you are considering farming this.

Kommentar von Grenmoor

Ah...its a sad day, no more buying/mining cobalt to make these CHEAP and then sell the infinite dust to rinse and repeat...

Kommentar von goodoldman

I farmed bs till 390 using trainer recipes, then I followed the directions here and got this plan droping from an excavator in my third kill. The mats of this plan, even after the patch that raised the cost, still a very good deal. Trainer's recipes uses 12 cobalt bars at 390 skill. This plan still a mere 8 bar till 415 skill, a reasonable cost IMO.

Kommentar von 177129

I just farmed mine. I got it on my 31st kill. (Was at 390 BS skill).

Also, on a side note. This is really only useful to make between 390-400 (Once you hit 400, start making https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=54949 until 405). Once you hit 405, make these again until 415. Assuming you only want to use Cobalt.

If you want to improve your blacksmithing economically, this is a very good item.

Kommentar von Puppe

killed 190 of these now and still now drop I've got Grand master skill with 375/450

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took 10 kills to get this recipe from the Excavators

Kommentar von Battlescar2112

This dropped for me as I was doing the quests associated with the mobs you need to kill for it. First round of quests, no drop. Went back to grab next quest in the same area and after about 15 minutes, one of the excavators dropped it.
I have TONS of cobalt ore, so this is great to level BS from 406 to about 416 when it turns yellow I believe. But, since I have a surplus of ore, I'll make these for as long as possible because I'll just send the chest pieces to my alt to disenchant them.
Really easy, cheap, and efficient way to level BS and get gold or disenchants.

Kommentar von Llucheden

Can confirm, got this on my 5th kill exactly. It is now BOP, by the way. My BS is 390 and lvl 71.

Kommentar von jdwage

Found this plan off Venture Co. Excavator as described. WOTLK Classic 12-4-2022. I was level 71 and BS 378, took about 10 minutes of grinding (I had help).

Kommentar von Phaseshifter

In WotLK classic it took me well over 150 kills to get this pattern.

Kommentar von holykhaos

Confirmed! The pattern dropped on the 42nd excavator kill. WOTLK Classic 4/3/2024
