From what I can tell this is not a good way to level BS from zero.

Many of the lower level ores are all over the place and no reason to waste money in the AH or a reason to waste such a large amount of ghost iron on things you cant get any kind of return from (from say Disenchanting them and selling the mats).

What is good, is that the cross realm thing has created a farming nightmare for things like fel iron. So since the price per stack was the same I just went out and farmed Ghost Iron for my second BS to burn past Fel Iron without the headache of looking for enough on my miner.

Its case by case. Checking AH prices for what you need compared to how easy it is to mine, ect.
Sometimes it is, sometimes its not.

In this current form, this does not make a lot of sense. Could it be possible that Blizzard is trying to provide for Blacksmith a catch-up mechanism similar to Cooking ?

Also, IMHO, secondary professions should be account-wide. There, I said it. :)

I just want to say:

Don't bother turning this quest in. The key is worth more than the quest reward. I expected as much, but I just figured what the hell why not? If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have turned it in.

Description

While it is best to learn the properties of simpler metals and work your way up, it is possible to learn how to become a good blacksmith through mastering the various applications of ghost iron for common household objects. If you wish to take this path towards becoming a zen master blacksmith, I can teach you. Whichever way you choose, you will have my respect if you can show me that you can make a ghostly skeleton key.
