There are lots of trainers located all over the world that teach you many things. However, they can be a little hard to find at times and some of the trainers are actually hidden in obscure places. Here’s a list of the various trainers ranging from Mounts to Weapons to Professions.

Weapon Trainers

Characters start out with various weapon skills already learnt at level 1, but that is hardly the full range of weapons your character is capable of wielding. To use weapons that you currently cannot use, you will have to visit a weapon trainer teaching the appropriate weapon skill and pay a small fee.

Weapon trainers can only be found in cities, once you have reached a city, finding the weapon trainer is just a matter of asking a city guard where he/she is located.

Once you found him he can either train you or advise you on where other trainers are. If you want him to train you he’ll show you a list of which weapon types he can teach.

Mount Trainers and Vendors

When your character reaches level 40, he/she will be eligible to buy a mount. While mounted, you will travel 60% faster than normal. Each race has its own unique racial mount, for example, Trolls ride Raptors while the Tauren ride Kodo beasts. Before you can ride a mount though, you have to learn the riding skill specific to the mount first, such as Raptor Riding or Kodo Riding. The cost of learning how to ride is fixed at 20g, and the mount itself costs 80g.

Players can always learn how to ride mounts of their own race, to learn how to ride mounts of an allied race in your faction you have to reach the Exalted(?) reputation status with that race by doing quests and other things for that race, otherwise the mount riding trainer will refuse to teach you. Additionally, players cannot learn how to ride mounts of the opposite faction as the NPC trainers are hostile (and cannot be Mind Controlled). Due to the Tauren’s huge size, they are restricted to only be able to ride Kodo Beasts and cannot ride other mounts. Any player can ride a Kodo though, not just a Tauren.

Mount vendors are located right next to the mount trainer itself. They sell mounts of various colours and also sells level 60 versions of mounts that travel 100% faster instead of 60%. However, these magnificent beasts cost 1000g to purchase. The Humans have 3 Horse Vendors while the others only have 1.

There are other mounts for sale in the world that any race can get but these NPCs are hard to find, and also require the players to acquire a certain amount of reputation with them before they will even sell these mounts.

Profession and Secondary Skill Trainers

Professions and secondary skills are non-combat skills that players can learn in order to improve and further customize themselves. A player may choose to learn up to 2 professions and any number of secondary skills. For more information regarding these, visit our Professions section.

Just because a trainer is called an does NOT mean it teaches the Expert skill level. In fact, such a trainer is only able to teach the Journeyman skill level and Journeyman related Leatherworking recipes.

Apprentice skill levels can be learnt in most starting towns in the beginner zones as well as in the cities. Journeyman skill levels can also be found in cities and some towns all over the world. To find a trainer of any kind in a major city, simply ask a city guard for instructions and they will put a market on your map (and minimap)!

However, there is only one trainer that teaches the Expert skill level and one trainer that teaches the Artisan skill level in the world per faction. Players will have to find these two NPCs (Artisan and Master Trainers) in order to advance their skill beyond 150 and 225 respectively.

Class Trainers

Class Trainers can teach you skills as your character levels up and also can wipe all your talent points so you can start afresh. All these services come at a price however. Higher level skills cost more money and the each time you clear your talent points the price to do so increases. You can use WWNData to search for class trainers, just type in ‘Warrior’ or ‘Rogue’ in the Title part of this search page and it’ll return all NPCs with Warrior or Rogue in their title as in Warrior Trainer or Rogue Trainer.

Extra Notes

1. Secondary Skills (Fishing, Cooking, First Aid) Expert level is achieved by reading a Tome bought from a vendor, Artisan level by completing a quest, and not by going to a trainer.
2. Gathering skills (Herbalism, Mining, Skinning) have no character level requirements. Fishing does however, just like all the other professions.
3. Gathering Skills (Herbalism, Mining, Skinning) can be learnt in the cities and at various towns. All trainers of these 3 gathering skills can teach all 4 skill tiers, so there are all simply called , for example, without the skill tier prefix.
