Brom Killian stands in the War Quarter at roughly 56, 37 and trains Mining from Apprentice through Artisan.

Brom Killian stands in the War Quarter at roughly 56, 37 and trains Mining from Apprentice through Artisan.

Undercity keeps its profession trainers tucked into ring-shaped quarters that all look alike on the minimap, which is why new Forsaken miners tend to run a full lap before finding the right archway. The Mining trainer is Brom Killian, a level 35 Forsaken who works out of a small stall in the War Quarter alongside a mining supplier.

Quick answer: Brom Killian is in the War Quarter of Undercity at map coordinates 56, 37, inside the mining stall just off the outer corridor.


Brom Killian location in Undercity (War Quarter, 56, 37)

Open the map while standing in Undercity and look at the War Quarter section of the ring. Brom Killian’s stall sits at roughly 56, 37, and players walking up to him will read coordinates in the 55.9–56.1 range on the X axis and 36.5–36.8 on the Y axis. He shares the space with a mining supplier, so the archway is easy to spot once you are in the right quarter.

If you use a waypoint addon such as TomTom, drop a pin on Undercity 56, 37 and follow the arrow rather than counting archways.


How to reach the mining stall from the Undercity bridges

Start from one of the bridges that cross the green sludge canal in the center of Undercity. These bridges connect the inner ring to the outer corridor, and every quarter branches off that corridor.

Cross the bridge into the War Quarter and follow the outer corridor. Keep the wall of stalls on your outside shoulder so you do not loop back into the inner ring.
Continue past Archibald until you see the mining workshop archway on your right. That opening is the stall you want, and the trainer stands just inside it.

Target Brom Killian <Mining Trainer> and talk to him. His gossip line offers instruction in mining, and picking the trainer option opens the training window.

Smelting recipes taught in the Undercity stall

Alongside the four ranks, Brom Killian sells the smelting recipes that turn raw ore into bars. They appear in his list as your skill climbs, so check back after every rank upgrade.

RecipeSkill requiredMain reagent
Smelt Tin65Tin Ore
Smelt Bronze65Copper Bar + Tin Bar
Smelt Silver75Silver Ore
Smelt Iron125Iron Ore
Smelt Gold155Gold Ore
Smelt Steel165Iron Bar + Coal

Smelt Thorium250Thorium Ore

Smelt Bronze and Smelt Steel both need two inputs, so stock the second component before you commit to those. Coal is a vendor item rather than a mined one.


Mining supplies next to the trainer

Sarah Killian <Mining Supplier> stands in the same stall and stocks what you need to start swinging at nodes:

  • Mining Pick, required in your bags to mine ore veins
  • Strong Flux, used by smelting and blacksmithing recipes
  • Coal, the second reagent for Smelt Steel

Buy the pick during the same visit. Without one in your inventory, ore nodes out in the world will not respond to clicks even with the profession learned.


Confirming the training went through

After you pay for a rank, that entry drops out of Brom Killian’s training list and the Mining skill in your profession panel shows the new cap. For a first-time miner, the Mining ability itself appears in your spellbook once Apprentice is purchased, and the skill bar starts at 1. If the list still shows the same rank you clicked, the purchase did not register and you can simply select it again.
