Moonsteel Broadsword: 0/4
Required Blacksmithing skill: 180

You get the plans for it from Zarena Cromwind in Booty Bay, Stranglethorn. She is located at the entrance of the old harbor authority (on the left side). This item is limited and if it's not there someone else already bought it. Respawn can be up to 1 hour so you need to be patient or buy it at times where less people are playing. I have also seen it at the auctions house for 1+ gold.

Big Black Mace: 0/2
Required Blacksmithing skill: 230

You need to buy the Artisan blacksmithing training from the master goblin in Booty Bay, Stranglethorn. The training costs 5 gold. After that, when your skill is 230, you can learn the recipe big black mace from him.

Heavy Mithril Axe: 0/2
Required Blacksmithing skill: 210

You have to learn this from the goblin master in Booty Bay, Stranglethorn.

Massive Iron Axe: 0/4
Required Blacksmithing skill: 185

You have to buy the plans from Jaquilinia Dramed in Nesingwarys Expedition (the hunters camp in the north), Stranglethorn. This item is limited and if it's not there someone else already bought it. Respawn can be up to 1 hour so you need to be patient or buy it at times where less people are playing. I have also seen it at the auctions house for 1+ gold.

You must be at least level 40 and have 230 Blacksmithing skill to get this quest. Once you meet the requirements, speak to the NPC Krathok Moltenfist ( https://classicdb.ch/?npc=11176 ) and choose the option "I wish to become a weaponsmith". After that Borgosh Corebender will give you this quest.

To get this quest, train to become an artisan blacksmith in Booty bay, then talk to Krathok Moltenfist in Ogrimmar (near the anvils), then talk to Borgosh to get the quest.

This thread wasn't very clear on this.

How To:

Hordies, speak to Krathok Moltenfist, an npc at the forge/anvil in Orgrimmar's Valley of Honor (where all the blacksmithing trainers are).&nbsp He gives two options:
I want to become an armorsmith!
I want to become a weaponsmith!

Choose one and suddenly the yellow "!" will appear over the appropriate npc trainer.

p.s. this worked for me at lvl 40 with 219 BS skill.

If my calculations are correct, this is what you will need to create 4x Moonsteel Broadsword, 4x Massive Iron Axe, 2x Heavy Mithril Axe and 2x Big Black Mace:

88 Iron Bars
32 Coal
16 Strong Flux
16 Heavy Grinding Stones
12 Lesser Moonstones
28 Heavy Leather
16 Gold Bars
56 Mithril Bars
4 Citrines
4 Solid Grinding Stones
2 Black Pearls
8 Shadowgems
4 Thick Leather


If you don't have any of those items, and you're too lazy to farm them yourself.. then prepare for a massive bill.

I have saved a hell of a lot of gems and metals myself, so I already have most of those items... thank god.

Nevertheless, this quest is one massive pain in the butt!

The fella's name is :: Krathok Moltenfist.
He's found in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar, between the outside anvil/forge and the weapons hut.&nbsp He's your prototypical GQ Orc.

He'll give you the option to go Weaponsmith or Armorsmith.&nbsp

To become hamersmith.. swordsmith.. axesmith.. you have to become a weaponsmith.. so to answer a big question i had.. becomeing a weaponsmith.. will NOT take away axesmithing and others.. with axesmithing you have to do a quest.. with the others you probably have to do the same

As long as your BS skill is high enough to learn the recipes needed to make the weapons for the quest, then your good to go. Not sure if I was at 200. But I started this quest late. I initially wanted to become an armorsmith.

How do you attain this quest. I am currently a level 40 war with 225 smithing.I have finished the up to the mitril order quest. I am currently working on them. I have yet to even get this quest yet. Also where do you train past 225 in smithing?

Ok, I had trouble with starting this quest. Borgosh wouldn't give it to me.

Eventually I found out I had to talk to Krathok first ((NPC #11176) and choose weaponsmith, before I could get the quest from Borgosh.
