For example, the Orc racial ability and the epic world drop item Edgemaster's Handguards. Some items and racial abilities grant additional weapon skill, which can exceed the skill cap of 300. At level 60, a character's weapon skill cap will be 300. Weapon skill is only a factor for melee attacks.Ĭharacters at level 1 start with a weapon skill cap of 5, and the weapon skill cap value increases by 5 based on your level. While spells in Classic WoW can be resisted (comparable to missing with a melee weapon), weapon skill is not taken into consideration when determining if a spell will hit. All characters start out with a few weapon skills depending on their chosen class and race, and can train additional weapon skills from Weapon Masters in each major city. Weapon skill represents your proficiency with a type of weapon, and increasing your weapon skill reduces your chance to miss when attacking a target.
Welcome to Wowhead's guide to the Weapon Skill system in WoW Classic, detailing trainer locations, how to level weapons, list of weapons each class can equip, and how to increase skill through items.
