Weaponsmithing

Weaponsmithing is one of two primary BS (blacksmithing) specializations (the other being Armorsmithing) which allows access to certain BoP weapon recipes. Weaponsmithing is required to access any of the weapon sub-specialties: Axe-, Hammer-, or Swordsmithing.

Weaponsmithing is granted from a quest: The Alliance quest is from  Ironus Coldsteel at the Great Forge in Ironforge; the Horde quest is from  Borgosh Corebender in Orgrimmar.

For this quest, you will need to purchase the following plans from these vendors (or Auction House):

• [Plans: Moonsteel Broadsword] (Requires BS 180. Buy from  Zarena Cromwind in Booty Bay.)
• [Plans: Massive Iron Axe] (Requires BS 185. Buy from  Jaquilina Dramet at Nesingwary's Camp or  Vharr at Grom'Gol Base Camp, both in Stranglethorn Vale.)

... and learn to make the following from any BS trainer:

• [Heavy Mithril Axe] (Requires BS 210.)
• [Big Black Mace] (Requires BS 230.)

To complete the quest, you need to turn in:

• 4 [Moonsteel Broadsword]
• 4 [Massive Iron Axe]
• 2 [Heavy Mithril Axe]
• 2 [Big Black Mace]

...which will require the following materials to craft:

• 56 [Mithril Bar]
• 32 [Steel Bar]
• 56 [Iron Bar]
• 16 [Gold Bar]
• 16 [Heavy Grinding Stone]
• 4 [Solid Grinding Stone]
• 12 [Lesser Moonstone]
• 4 [Citrine]
• 2 [Black Pearl]
• 8 [Shadowgem]
• 28 [Heavy Leather]
• 4 [Thick Leather]
• 16 [Strong Flux]

After you have unlearned Weaponsmithing or Armorsmithing, you can speak to  Myolor Sunderfury by the Great Forge in Ironforge or  Krathok Moltenfist in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar to learn a new specialization.
