You learn staff proficiency from a weapon trainer in your faction’s major cities in WoW TBC. For Horde, the most commonly cited location is Orgrimmar ; some classes/races may also find staff training in Thunder Bluff , but not every trainer offers the same weapon skills.

Where to go

  • Horde: Ask a city guard for the Weapon Master or go to the weapon trainer in Orgrimmar.
  • Thunder Bluff: Another Horde option for staff training, depending on the trainer.
  • Alliance: Staff training is handled by appropriate weapon trainers in major Alliance cities, with some trainers teaching staves specifically.

Important detail

Not every weapon trainer teaches every weapon type, so if one trainer does not offer Staves , try a different capital city trainer. In practice, if you are Horde and your trainer does not list staff, head to Orgrimmar or Thunder Bluff and check there.

Fastest way

  1. Ask a guard where the Weapon Master is.
  2. Visit the trainer.
  3. Learn Staves if it appears in the list.
    If it does not, go to another major city and check a different trainer.

TL;DR

For WoW TBC, staff proficiency is learned from a weapon trainer/weapon master , usually in Orgrimmar for Horde, with Thunder Bluff also being a possible option depending on the trainer.
