Armorsmithing

Armorsmithing is the crafting profession with which you can create Chain and Plate armor as well as shields. Outfitting is used for leather and cloth armor.

Armorsmiths benefit most from the Mining and Butchery gathering professions. Ore is required for both Chain and Plate armor. Hides from Butchery are only required to make leather for Chain armor, with wood gathered from Foraging being required for some shields.
