Weapon Skill
Skill Book Quest
Weapon skill quests can only be obtained by people level 55+.
This is how to get the skill book quest completed to be able to buy the weapon skill books.
Warrior zerk stance island (Fray island). This is where you get the quest.

Then you get a quest to go to Irontree cavern and pick up a herb in felwood then back again.
After you returned the Ironvine to him you have to talk too 3 different people and complete a quiz by the guy who gave you the quest (you can do the quiz before talking to the npc's, but you still have to talk to them), 2 of the guys are on the island the last is in Tanaris at the town Gadgetzan. The answers to the quiz are middle - bottom - middle.
After that you get a third quest where you have to go to Burning steppes and kill Rholgast a giant. Coordinates for giant are 50.9/27.5.
Which is an elite quest to get his eye. Then return once again to the guy on the island outside ratchet after that you are done with this. But you need to get something called ancient warfare text and 250 gold.
The ancient warfare text is from the most dangerous places in Azeroth according to quest text. Found in dungeons like for example UBRS, BRD and Kara 10. The current best way to farm them is in the Sunken Temple from the balcony bosses.
