The profession of Blacksmithing is a primary trade skill in the World of Warcraft. When choosing Blacksmithing as a primary skill, make sure you really want it, as you may only have two skills at one. Also when you choose Blacksmithing you are pretty much locked into taking Mining as your second primary skill. You are able to unlearn trade skills but if you do this, you will lose all your skill points in it. If you were to start Blacksmithing again you would have to start from the bottom, not at your last skill level.

Usually classes that can use mail and / or plate armor benefit from Blacksmithing. Warriors and Paladins benefit the most as they are able to use all the armor that can be produced by blacksmithing. Other classes can gain some benefit from blacksmithing for example: key creation, weapon creation, profit, etc.

Blacksmithing is an excellent choice if you want to make your own armor and weapons, or if you want to make armor and weapons for your friends or to sell and trade. Being a Blacksmith can save you a ton of money on "Blue" weapons and armor later in the game.
 
Mining is usually paired with blacksmithing, as you can find your own materials to use while blacksmithing, instead of having to buying them. While it is possible to go without mining, it would be extremely expensive to do.
 
All major cities and most towns have blacksmith trainers. Most major cities and towns also have journeyman blacksmith trainers. To train as a journeyman you need 50 skill points in blacksmithing and at least level 10. Once you get to higher levels you must journey to a few specific towns to get training. To train as an expert blacksmith you must have 125 skill points in blacksmithing, be at least level 20 and then journey to Ironforge (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde). To become an Artisan in blacksmithing you must first get to 200 skill points and level 35 and then journey to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale to train with Brikk Keencraft (Both Alliance and Horde).
