## Blacksmithing Trainers

You can learn Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Artisan Blacksmithing from trainers in every major city. You don't have to visit different trainers.

### Alliance Trainers:

* Therum Deepforge - Stormwind.
* Bengus Deepforge - Ironforge.
* Miall - The Exodar.

#### Alliance: Stormwind City

You mean you can't smell the smoke of the Dwarven forges from here? Well, you will be looking for Therum Deepforge if you want to learn blacksmithing. He's over in the Dwarven District which is just to the north of the Cathedral Square. He is found near the middle of the district, underneath a tent.

#### Alliance: Ironforge

Ye've come to the right place lass! People come here from all o'er the world to train to be a blacksmith. Ye'll find Bengus Deepforge hammering away at an anvil in the middle of our fine city by The Great Forge itself.

#### Alliance: The Exodar

* Miall is our chief Blacksmith on the Exodar. She can be found on the lower level of the Trader's Tier. Go with the Light.

## What is better Armorsmith or Weaponsmith in WOW Classic?

* Armorsmiths can create powerful armor pieces to help you defend against your foes.
* Weaponsmiths can create powerful weapon pieces to rip your opponents to shreds.

Generally DPS players would want to choose Weaponsmithing as the unique selection of weapons it provides is quite valuable especially in early progression.

On the other hand TANK players would want to choose Armorsmithing as the unique armor options it provides will be invaluable to be able to get ahead of the competition especially in raid progressions.

## How do you choose Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing in WoW Classic?

* Once you reach at least level 40 with a Blacksmithing level of at least 200, you will be presented with an option to choose Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing after a long quest chain. Deciding to swap between masteries will be with a hefty cost so be careful when making your choice!

## How do you become a Macesmith (Hammersmith) in TBC Classic?

* You have to be at least level 50 and have chosen Weaponsmithing. After that you need to complete the appropriate quest named "**The Way of the Weaponsmith**" which will allows you to be a Macesmith (Hammersmith)!

## How do you become a Swordsmith in TBC Classic?

* You have to be at least level 50 and have chosen Weaponsmithing. After that you will need to **travel to Winterspring** and **speak with Seril Scourgebane**. Completing his quests will allow you to become a Master Swordsmith.
