The changes for blacksmithing aren’t too radical, but there are a couple. Armor smiths and weapon smiths of every specialization get access to some really nice high end items. A not too popular change is that many bind on equip patterns require Primal Nether, which is a bind on pickup item found in instances.
Significant is the ability to alter your specialization by coughing up 50g to your specialization trainer.New plans highlights:
