It was explained to me in the Help and Player Guide forum that the +skill gear rewards in blacksmithing are messed up. You can currently only get gloves and gorgets until the server resets, and then the rewards switch to cap/sleeves or tunic/leggings, or something to that effect.
It should be: upon completion of a 750 weighted BoD you have a 50% chance of receiving a glove/gorget with +3 skill; a 750 weighted BoD a 50% chance at +3 sleeves/cap; and at 800 tunic/leggings. I'm not a coder, but I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult of a fix
