The list regarding the learnt recipes is currently wrong here.
You will learn the 522 items and the 458 pvp items by creating this ingot.
After creating 5 Ingots you can build one of the 463 reborn Weapons to learn the 476 version and after 10 more Ingots you will learn the 502 Version(The final form) that requires 15 Ingots
Few things to note about this new Blacksmithing spell.
It currently does not specify any 1 day cooldown, like you get from Living Steel. However, I expect it will have a 1 day cooldown when it hits live so it comes in line with the other professions.This has a 1 day cooldown that makes it into another daily-transmute or daily-gem craft as you see in Alchemy and Jewelcrafting, and now Leatherworking and Tailoring too.- It doesn't mention that it is limited to the current expansion's Blacksmithing plans, nor does it mention anything about raid-only dropped plans. I fully expect this to discover all plans available in game, preferring higher level over the lower level plans first. This could put excessive value into the profession for some people who get lucky, which I believe is the way the devs wanted this to go. EDIT: seems to be prioritising the new crafted PVP gear for now.
The operative word here is "may". This is what further reinforces my expectations that this will have a cooldown - or a phenomenally low chance on no cooldown (a.k.a. a money sink)Certainly has a cooldown and seems to be a guarantee to discover a recipe.- The recipe for this spell (from [item=94721]) seems to have been hotfixed so that players can't aggro [npc=69461] any more (thanks to minikeg654's comment for the info).
Obviously this is just speculation and we'll know more when it
hits Live servershas had more time.EDIT (for live): As with the other profession changes, most people are reporting that they are learning PVP gear recipes for the moment and we should start to expect other patterns as soon as that becomes less of an option for this spell to choose from.
Tooltip
Create a Lightning Steel Ingot from Ghost Iron Bars. In the process, you may gain additional knowledge of Ghost Iron, and discover a Blacksmithing plan you have yet to learn. This can only be done once a day.

This recipe is learned from [item=94552] which is a quest reward from Lightning Steel, which is started from [item=94721], a 100% drop for Blacksmiths from [npc=69461], an easy mini-boss mob on the Isle of Thunder. The quest also gives a bonus [item=94111] on completion. If you drop Blacksmithing and relearn it, you will simply have to kill Itoka again and you can loot the recipe directly from him.
The recipe creates 1 [item=94111] at the cost of 10 Ghost Iron Bar and can only be crafted once per day at any Anvil. You will always learn one of the Haunted Steel / Crafted Dreadful recipes each time you craft an Ingot until you have learned them all, meaning you will need a total of 38 days and 380 Ghost Iron Bar to learn all the recipes.
A useful script that will place an icon on your cursor which you can drop into your action bars and allows you to craft from there is:
/run PickupSpell(138646)[item=94111] is used exclusively for crafting 6 BoE (3 one-hand and 3 2-hand) "Reborn" weapons which are identical skins to previously removed Burning Crusade Weaponsmithing weapons, with each craft having an ilvl 463 blue version which can then be upgraded to epic 476 ilvl and a further upgrade to 502 ilvl, each costing more mats and each having a slightly different appearance.
Each upgraded version is learned from crafting the previous weapon the first time and requires the previous weapon to be consumed on craft.
Make sure to equip the weapon before crafting the next stage if you want to learn the transmog as it is BoE by default.

This will not always teach you a Plan you dont have. i have crafted it twice since my server opened the thunder forge and no new plans yet
Edit: Since making 4 more bars i have gotten a plan each time. Maybe it was just a glitch for the first couple of bars. OMW to making Lionheart Executioner, Reborn. :)
Recipes learned:
[item=93455]
[item=93622]
[item=93457]And 1 iLvl 522 Item [item=94265]
Is this going to still be 1 a day in WoD?
I presume since it says further knowledge of ghost iron, it will be only current xpac's stuff. Could be wrong though
It says you can gain "additional knowledege of ghost iron." I don't see how that would translate into pre-Pandaria recipes.
You can probably only discover MOP plans. The JC daily cooldown only discovers MOP cuts, so I expect this to work the same way.
So this recipe reward possiblitly is purely random?
Say I want this recipe : [spell=137771] I could go on forever if unlucky?
That would kinda suck : s
There's similar information on most 600 skill level items/level 90 quests, this only means that if it's ever possible to go further than 600/90 (aka new expansion), it'll become practical information.
Not forever, it seems it will always teach you a recipe. You could look at how many recipes you *don't* know and work out the maximum possible days to learn all of them.
This has a 1 day cooldown and can teach you how to make Dreadful PvP gear. I'm not sure what else you can learn. I used it and learned how to make [item=93622]. I learned this the first day 5.2 launched and haven't been able to use it again, I guess you need a thunder forge now.
As of 11.0, there have been API changes to the original PickUpSpell() command, so that no longer works. Use /run C_Spell.PickupSpell() now instead.
You have to be level 90 to start the Quest for the Plans. Just killed [npc=69461] with my DK lv86 alt (Blacksmith 600), looted[item=94721]and cant start the Quest for [item=94552]
First try for me today on live , server just opened the forge and i just got the head recipe :P Good luck for u ;)
Discovered Haunted Steel Headguard on my 8th craft of the Ingot. RNG is always gonna be RNG.
The recipe was available the first day of 5.2. You just had to do some wall climbing. The next day there was a hotfix that took out the npc that dropped Strange Metal Ingot. Now we have to have to wait until stage 3 opens up on your realm to get the item.
It works fine. You need to kill that NPC outside the forge to get the first quest, then you make your first ingots inside the Thunder Forge -- but after that you can make one ingot and do your research each day from **anywhere** where there is an anvil.
Starting to think that the fist two that i crafted were glitched have gotten a new pattern every day since.
Do u always get an epic item recipe when crafting it? Or is there a chance not to get anything or to get pvp items? Cause my first try today and got an epic head am I too lucky?
Never discovered nothing so far, i.e. I always get a plan when I make an ingot.
Just lucky. You can either get epic recipies or the 458 pvp gear
If it lets you discover ANY BS recipe... that will really suck for collectors who worked hard farming and shopping to collect everything.
Generally that is put in when the data is in before they are ready for people to actually test it on PTR, etc. the farming quests required lvl 91 for a good while in Beta. It is a form of "off flag" until they are ready.
Getting "cannot use this here" error when trying to use this now everywhere I try
edit: this was the hotfix Blizzard implemented before your server reached stage 4 to prevent the few people that had gotten the Lightning Steel Ingot pattern before it was removed from getting a huge advantage over the rest of the blacksmiths
Random between blue pvp gear and iLvl 522 gear, or nothing if you are unlucky(?) Don't know if you can discover something other than that.
the description of the item don't says anything about using a thunder forge... i think it's a bug from the game... the same thing occur to me and i try to use the thunder forge in thunder isle and nothing happens...
wait is this available already?
It worked for 3 days, alot of us have 3 ingots but cant use em, since everything needs more
Phalek here, on my Server the Lightning Forge has been open for two days, giving us currently only 2 chances to use this cooldown, on both attempts i have received an Epic Recipe - 1st day = Haunted Steel Dreads, DPS Haste, Mastery boots - 2nd day = Haunted Steel Headguard, Tanking Parry, Mastery helmet. Im curious on if the epics are alot more common than they should be, or if i have been really lucky this far?
RNG is not very random. My DK is getting 90% pally gear. It's ridiculous.
it says 605 blacksmithing, I thought it only went up to 600 with zen master.
i have 4 of these ingots so far. i logged in today and tried to caft my 5th one in hopes of making a weapon.
"You can't use that here."
i cant use it anywheres. not at the thunderforge, shrine, anywheres. does blizz really expect people to wait 2-3 weeks to make plate? my server isnt getting the next zone anytime soon seemings its been almost a week and we still dont have it.
i'm so sick of getting ^%#$^@ed over by blizz
