Horde characters learn the Thrown weapon skill in Orgrimmar, inside a building called Arms of Legend at the back of the Valley of Honor. Two Weapon Masters stand there together, and either one can teach you the proficiency for a small fee.
Quick answer: Go to the Arms of Legend building in Orgrimmar’s Valley of Honor (81.5, 19.6), speak to Hanashi or Sayoc, and buy Thrown for 10 silver.
Who can learn Thrown
Thrown is a class-restricted skill. Only Warriors, Hunters, and Rogues can use thrown weapons, and Rogues already have the skill by default when they create a character. If you play a Warrior or Hunter and want to use throwing knives or throwing axes, you need to visit a Weapon Master to unlock the proficiency.
Trolls receive a small racial bonus to critical strikes with thrown weapons, which makes the skill especially handy for Troll Warriors and Hunters.

Hanashi vs Sayoc: what each teaches
Both trainers teach Thrown, so it does not matter which one you use for that skill. They differ in the other proficiencies they offer, which is useful if you want to train more than one weapon type in the same trip.
| Weapon Master | Teaches Thrown | Other skills |
|---|---|---|
| Hanashi | Yes | Bows, One-Handed Axes, Staves, Two-Handed Axes |
| Sayoc | Yes | Bows, Daggers, Fist Weapons, One-Handed Axes, Staves, Two-Handed Axes |
The one meaningful split is that Hanashi covers Staves while Sayoc adds Fist Weapons and Daggers. Every weapon skill here costs 10 silver, matching the standard training price across the game.
How to confirm you learned it
After you pay the 10 silver, Thrown appears under Weapon Skills in your character sheet and you can equip a thrown weapon in your ranged slot. To actually throw one, place the “Throw” ability from your spellbook onto your action bar and keep throwing knives or axes in the ranged slot. If the option still shows as unavailable, make sure a thrown weapon is equipped in that slot.
