This has probably been posted before, but not any explanation on how to do it.
Just where to do it.
And yes, this is an exploit which Blizzard havn't fixed yet.
Anyhow, thought i'd compile a little guide for you guys explaining how to get the weaponskill for achievements or PvE purposes for newly dinged level 80's.
Continent: Eastern Kingdoms
Zone: Feralas
Place: Dire Maul, 59,44.
1. Get FAST weapons that you're going to skill. Let's say you have an epic 2-handed mace with 3.8 Seconds attack speed. Go to a vendor and buy a white 2-handed mace with faster attack speed instead. (It will save you some time, and it only costs a gold or two)
2. If you're in Dalaran simply take the portal to Darnassus if you're Alliance, or Thunder Bluff/Orgrimmar if you're Horde.
3. Fly to Feralas (Or Desolace if you're Alliancee and run to Feralas if you can't get there directly) and run to Dire Maul, located at 59,44.
4. Enter Dire Maul north (Requires "Crescent Key Read at the bottom of the post on how to acquire this )
5. To the left you have a ramp which goes down into a yard. Run down that ramp, and towards the next ramp at the other side. There's a mob called Guard Mol'dar, aggro him and pull him up to the ramp that's ahead of you and kill him. (If you don't pull him up there, alot of adds will come and try to kill you which is unnecessary.
When you've killed him be sure to loot his body. He should drop "Gordok Inner Door Key"
6. Seen from the path you came from, take a left after "his" ramp.
Follow the road until you see two guards, and an opening into a courtyard. Sneak past them and go to the middle, and loot Fengus's Chest for Gordok Courtyard Key
7. Seen from the point of view you came. On the other side of the courtyard is a large door which you should open and go through.
Run Forrest! RUN!
After a while you will be "outside" in the nature again.
Take a left, and there you should see mobs named Gordok Spirit which have 1 HP.
DO _NOT_ KILL KING GORDOK! YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ATTACK THE GHOSTS IF HE'S DEAD!
8. Turn on Auto-attack and get a cup of coffee and watch a movie or series.
Takes about 15-30 minutes to level your weapon skill from 1>400 depending on your weapon speed.
How to acquire the crescent key
When you enter Dire Maul, run into the courtyard and go to the right side. Or just simply look on the minimap and walk east.
Enter the instance. (Should not be any doors that says "Locked: Requires Crescent key" because then you're either at the West or North entrance).
Now, you should speak to Pussilin and he will run away. He's directly to your left as you enter the instance.
Just chase after the imp that's inside Dire Maul East. You can just follow him without killing any mobs basically, but some mobs will aggro you, but they're easy as they are <60. Some elites with 14-15k hp, no problems if you have are on the higher levels.
Now, when you've catched up with him, speak with him again and follow him once more. Continue doing this until he turns red and tries to kill you.
Kill him and loot the key. Exit the instance, and enter Dire Maul North.
Kill the rare spawn
Before you enter the instances, check the "Arena" in the courtyard (The place where you can go West for DM West, East for DM East etc)
There's sometimes a rare spawn there which drops blue BoE items.
I personally got Orb of deception Which made me rougly 1500 G richer.
