Joining the Mithril Order

The subject of this section was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 4.0.3a but is present in Classic Era.

The Mithril Order only accepts new members that prove their skills in working with Mithril. To do that, upcoming blacksmiths can do the Mithril Order quest chain. During this quest chain a blacksmith receives all blacksmithing plans that are needed for doing   [40] The Art of the Armorsmith.

2.   [40] In Search of Galvan/  [40] Booty Bay or Bust!
