Warlords of Draenor – Mining changes

  • New Ore: True Iron Ore, Blackrock Ore
  • Peon's Mining Pick: Allows faster mining in Draenor. Does not need to be equipped, found in Spires of Arak.
  • There are leveling improvements for miners. You can now harvest mineral nodes without a required skill. The amount of ore you'll get is determined by your skill level. We saw some of this earlier in Patch 5.3 when low level miners could mine nodes in Pandaria and get fragments.
  • New Mining Pet: Ore Eater
  • Garrison building: Lunarfall Excavation Level 3
  • A follower assigned to the Level 2 Lunarfall Excavation Level 2unlocks mining carts which contain additional ore.

This Mining leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Mining profession up from 1 to 600.

Mining serves three professions: Blacksmithing, Engineering and Jewelcrafting, so it's really good combined with any of these. Check out myEngineering guide, Jewelcrafting guide or my Blacksmithing guide if you want to level any of these professions.

Mining 1-525 WoW Mining Guide 1-525 This WoW Mining Guide details what to mine or smelt while leveling Mining from levels 1 to 525 in the World of Warcraft. Mining is one of the 3 primary gathering professions, and gathering professions tend to provide a strong gold income.

WoW Cataclysm Archaeology Leveling Guide 1-525 Now that Cataclysm is out and many people are hitting 85, there are probably a lot of you wondering about the new secondary profession, Archaeology. It’s a fairly straightforward profession, however there are some points where it can get a bit confusing.

You will mine the following ores: [Tin Ore], [Silver Ore]

Hillsbrad Foothills

Hillsbrad Foothills is just simply the best place to farm Tin. If you are an alliance player you should still go there, but Northern Stranglethorn is a great alternative. You will see a red zone on the map, that zone is filled with Tin, it's everywhere. When you mined all of it, just go outside of the zone where you can see the little yellowish arrows, mine a few Tin and head back to the red zone because it's most likely that the Tin Veins there are already respawned.

You will mine the following ores: [Mithril Ore], [Truesilver Ore]

Felwood and Burning Steppes are the best places to farm because the mining route is just so simple in these two zones. Badlands is also a really good place, but I found a bit more Mithril in the other zones.

Felwood

Burning Steppes

Don't go into Dreadmaul Rock. There is plenty of Mithril at the corner of the map, you will just get dismounted if you go into the cave and it will slow you down.

200 - 300

Wow Cataclysm Mining Leveling Guide 1 525

You will mine [Thorium Ore].

Buy Thorium Ores and smelt them until you reach 205, the reason for this is that with 205 Mining skill (215 with your mining pick), you will be able to mine Rich Thorium Veins, not just the small ones.

You will mine [Saronite Ore]. Sholazar Basin is simply the best place to farm Saronite, you will find a few Rich Saronite Deposits, but you won't be able to mine them yet.

Sometimes you can get unlucky and there will be too many Rich Saronite Deposits, you can try Wintergasp if this happens. If the battle is on, you won't be able to use flying mount for a few minutes.

You will mine [Obsidium Ore].There is a lot more Obsidium in Hyjal than in Vashj'ir, but there is also a lot more players. Hyjal beats Vashj'ir if there isn't anyone else farming the zone, else the zones are pretty similar. If you go to Vashj'ir, you will also have to do the starting quests until you get your underwater mount.

You will mine [Elementium Ore].

Twilight Highlands

There will be some Pyrite Deposits in this zone, but you won't be able to mine them until you reach 525. Rich Elementium Vein also requires a mining skill of 500, please don't get angry for not being able to mine these yet.

You can also just skip this part entirely and start farming Ghost Iron Ore.

500 - 600

You can mine this ore from skill 1, but you will only get [Ghost Iron Nugget] until you reach Mining skill 425 (10 nuggets makes one ore), after that you will start getting a few ores, and at 500 you will stop getting nuggets.

You can level up to 600 by mining only Ghost Irone Ore because there is an in-game bug that allows you to gain skill points even though Ghost Iron is grey.

This WoW Mining guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Mining profession up from 1 to 525. Updated for WoW patch 4.3
Mining is gathering profession and you can make lots of gold with it, you can even sell the lowest level Copper Ore for a decent amount of gold, high level players will buy them because most of them are too lazy to farm them.
Mining serves three professions: Blacksmithing, Engineering and Jewelcrafting, so it's really good combined with any of these. Check out my Engineering guide, Jewelcrafting guide or my Blacksmithing guide if you want to level any of these professions.
I mentioned, I will show a fast way to level Mining, unfortunately it's a gathering profession, and it takes time to level it up to 525, even if it's a fast way. In this Mining guide I will try to list the best zones where I found the most Mining nodes.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to Level 85 in 5 days with this Guide.

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Mining.
This addon shows you every Mining node location on your map. The addon and the databse can be found here.
I recommend you to get the following enchant: [Enchant Gloves - Gatherer]. You can just buy any low level gloves from a vendor and enchant that one with this Enchant, equip the gloves when you level your mining.
Check the Auction House and if there is any [Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Gatherer] available, buy it.

You will mine Leveling[Copper Ore] in this section.
Check out my other Mining leveling guide if you want to level mining with [Smelting] only. You can level mining a lot faster, but it will also cost you a lot more gold.
Actually, you should always smelt your ores to gain a few free skill-ups, the only exception is if you need the Ores for Jewelcrafting, then you shouldn't smelt them.

Buy Thorium Ores and smelt them until you reach 215 (210 if you have the Mining Enchant on your gloves), the reason for this is that with 215 Mining skill, you will be able to mine Rich Thorium Veins, not just the small ones. You can actually smelt Thorium up to 275 if you want to, as you can see it in my smelting guide. Sell the Thorium Bars at the Auction House if you don't need them.
When you reach 275, you can go to Hellfire Peninsula and mine Fel Iron or you can stay in the zones listed below until you reach 300.
