Armorsmithing

  • ️Tue Oct 12 2010

Armorsmithing was one of two primary blacksmithing specializations (the other being Weaponsmithing) which allowed access to certain BoP armor recipes.

Armorsmithing was granted from the quest B Blacksmithing [40] The Art of the Armorsmith. It was available from Alliance Grumnus Steelshaper at the Great Forge in Ironforge, and Horde Okothos Ironrager in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar.

Becoming an armorsmith[]

Please note the only requirement to become an Armorsmith is to complete B Blacksmithing [40] The Art of the Armorsmith (for which one can simply purchase the required items). The rest of this article describes the Mithril Order quest chain, which is the only way to learn how to craft those required items. While it makes sense to do both, you can do either without the other.

In capital city[]

  1. At level 40 and BS skill above 199, tell AllianceMyolor Sunderfury in Ironforge or HordeKrathok Moltenfist in Orgrimmar you want to be an Armorsmith.
  2. Then seek out the nearby faction armorsmith trainer:
  3. The quest requires 4 Ornate Mithril Helms, 2 Inv boots 01 [Ornate Mithril Boots], and 1 Inv chest plate10 [Ornate Mithril Breastplate]. The training to create these items is the quest rewards from the Mithril Order quest chain:
  4. The next phase requires the following, so you may want to hit your local AH before heading to Booty Bay:

Stranglethorn Vale[]

  1. Outside the Booty Bay smithy, McGavan will give you N Blacksmithing [40] The Mithril Order and direct you to see Galvan the Ancient [50.6, 20.5] out in Stranglethorn Vale. He has a small camp north of the Mosh'Ogg Ogre mound.
  2. Galvan will offer you three quests:
  3. After you complete any one of those quests, Galvan will give you N Blacksmithing [45] Galvan's Finest Pupil (where you journey to Gadgetzan to see Trenton Lighthammer), but don't leave yet; you will need all three quest rewards in Gadgetzan.
  4. After you complete all three of those quests, Galvan will offer you N Blacksmithing [45] Expert Blacksmith! (which is not required for the rest of the chain). Watch Galvan pound away at metal and see a true master at work. When he is done, he will give you the Inv misc armorkit 08 [Signet of Expertise], which summons the Inv hammer 24 [Hammer of Expertise].
  5. If your BS is below 235, craft the items you will need in Gadgetzan to help you level. The closest trainer is Brikk Keencraft, at the smithy in Booty Bay. Make sure you learn through Heavy Mithril Boots before going to Gadgetzan, as there is no BS trainer there.
Most efficient crafting order
BS level Items
220 Ornate Mithril Pants, Gloves
225 Ornate Mithril Shoulder
230 Heavy Mithril Breastplate, Coif
235 Heavy Mithril Boots
  • Very Important Note: Trent will accept soulbound gear, so you can equip and use any of these items until you are ready to turn them in.

To Gadgetzan[]

  1. Trent will give you three quests as well. The gear you learn to craft here are the objectives for the quest to become a Master Armorsmith. Note that Trent trains you directly rather than giving you plans.
  2. When you complete Trenton's three quests, he will give you one final quest, N Blacksmithing [50] Did You Lose This?, for which he crafts and gives you a Inv jewelry talisman 02 [Glimmering Mithril Insignia].

Back in capital city[]

  1. You can now make all the gear needed to become an Armorsmith, so return to the city and start making the 4 Ornate Mithril Helms, 2 Ornate Mithril Boots, and 1 Ornate Mithril Breastplate.
  2. Complete the original quest by handing in your products to either AllianceGrumnus Steelshaper or HordeOkothos Ironrager and you will become an Armorsmith!
