Walkthrough

Total Materials

Stone & Copper Age

• 1-25 Rough Sharpening Stone
  • 30 Rough Stones

• 25-70 Rough Grinding Stone (Makes 50 of the 70 Rough Grinding Stones you'll need for the 95-105 phase)
  • 100 Rough Stones

• 70-75 Copper Chain Belt
  • 30 Copper Bars

However, stones are often somewhat hard to buy on the AH, and when you mine them yourself you'll end up with a lot of ore too. So if you have more copper than rough stones, make a few Copper Bracers or Copper Chain Belts instead.

Bronze Age

• 75-95 Coarse Grinding Stones (Makes 50 of the 40 Coarse Grinding Stones you'll need for 160-165 phase)
  • Needs about 100 Coarse Stones

• 95-105 Rough Bronze Boots
  • 30 Copper Bars
  • 30 Tin Bars
  • 120 Rough Stones

If you don't have enough Rough Grinding Stones, you can substitute Thick Bronze Darts after you've reached 100 skill

• 105-125 Rough Bronze Leggings
• 126-150 Heavy Grinding Stones
  • Needs 75 Heavy Stones
• 151-160 Rough Bronze Leggings
  • Needs 270 Bronze Bars

If you can't find the [Plans: Iron Shield Spike] you can make another 5 Rough Bronze Leggings as they continue to give skillup to 165.

• 160-165 Iron Shield Spike
  • Needs 30 Iron Bars and 40 Coarse Grinding Stones

Iron Age

• 165-185 Green Iron Bracers
  • 120 Iron Bars
  • 20 Green Dye

Steel Age

• 185-205 Golden Scale Bracers
  • Needs 100 Steel Bars
  • Needs 100 Coals
  • Needs 120 Heavy Stones

Mithril Age

You will have to buy it, but the Mithril Spurs recipe is extremely economical in terms of required mats, and there tends to be a neverending demand for the item, so it wouldn't hurt to have it regardless. Beware though, they cannot be disenchanted, and they aren't worth a whole lot.

• 205-235 Heavy Mithril Gauntlet
  • 180 Mithril Bars
  • 120 Mageweave Cloth

• 235-270 Mithril Spurs
  • 150 Mithril Bars
  • 420 Solid Stones

Thorium Age

From 270 until 300 is painful, but chances are you have the money to survive it. If you don't, farm in Winterspring or Eastern Plaguelands.

Unless you have access to cheap rugged leather, your best bet is to get the Imperial Plate Bracers recipe from Tanaris for a small contribution of thorium, and make them all the way to 300, which is when it turns green. 12 bars a pop is asking a lot, but you would be surprised how much money you can save if you advertise in the trade channel rather than relying on the auction house. From a personal standpoint, I was able to purchase my Thorium for about half the price as the AH.
