Blacksmithing Plans (object)

Plans are the item name prefix given to items that teach Recipes for the blacksmithing profession.

Object
Blacksmithing Plans are also static items found within Blackrock Depths and Stratholme, that teach particular blacksmithing recipes. If a blacksmith with 300 skill opens them, they can loot that recipe to learn it. Once all possible plans in the instance have been learned, they will no longer become interactable.

The Plans were once interactable by anyone, but if someone else opened them, they gained nothing and the plans disappeared.
