Blacksmithing 515 and now stuck... HELP..

[hobartjim]

I got to black smithing 500 using the guide.

The guide then loaded instructions for 500-600. "Talk to Therum Deepforge... Learn Zen Master Blacksmithing."

This option is not available to me. I have reloaded the guide and seem to be stuck.
I managed to jump a few skill points by farming and revisiting known blacksmithing plans, but seem to be stuck on step 1 of this guide.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please

Your WoW account is not flagged for the Mists of Pandaria expansion. Did you purchase that from Blizzard? If you didn't then you are limited to 525 skill in any profession.

Thank you cabby. That explains it just right. I have been told to hold off on MoP pending an approaching birthday present. I will put my time into leveling a new toon. The guides are good, but the quick response is just impressive...
