WoW Mining Guide 1- 525 Cataclysm
Each character in World of Warcraft can pick up two primary and all secondary professions. There are a total of eleven different primary professions - 8 crafting and 3 gathering professions, and mining is one of the latter. With mining you are able to extract ores from various mining nods across the WoW. With those ores you will sometimes gain different stones, gems or elements. Extracted ore can be then either prospected into gems by jewlcrafters or smelted into metal bars by miners. Bars are used by engineers and blacksmiths. Whereas raw ore is used by jewlcrafters, other items you acquire with mining such as stones and gems are mainly used for jewlcrafting (but can be used in other professions) and elements are needed for all professions. This is why the mining profession is a very good source of revenue especially in early stages of new expansions.
Like all professions mining does give you a passive bonus to your character. Mining provides you with the passive skill “Toughness” that will at maximum skill provide you with a 120 Stamina boost, making it a perfect profession for all tanking classes.
Leveling mining is not a difficult task even though it might seem a bit boring if you are already level 85 but it’s perfect for when you level up a new character as it does provide you with experience each time you mine a nod thus additionally speeding up your leveling process.
When you are leveling mining you will start off from level one by mining copper ore.
1-65 copper ore
Copper ore can be found in abundance in Durotar and Elwynn Forest. Once you have mined 30 Copper ore you might want to smelt them if you have a forge nearby, thus speeding up your leveling.
66-125 Tin ore, Silver ore
Tin ore is usually found in Ashenvale and Hillsbrad foothills, while mining Tin ore you might frequently stumble across a Silver vein. At skill level of 75, you will be able to learn the skill smelt silver, smelt as much silver as you can, consider buying ore from the auction house if the price is right. Smelt silver will turn green at skill level 122.
125 – 175 Iron ore, Gold ore
Iron ore is mined in Feralas, Western plaguelands and Cape of Stranglethorn. Once you have reached a skill level of 155 you can learn how to smelt Gold, which is often found in the same zones as Iron deposits.
175 – 230 Mithril ore, Truesilver ore
Felwood, Burning steppes and Badlands are good spots for farming Mithril and Truesilver ore. Once you reach a skill of 225 visit the mining trainer.
230 – 300 Thorium ore
Buy and smelt Thorium ore till you reach skill of 255, or simply mine normal Thorium nods. Once you do reach 255 you will be able to mine Rich Thorium nods not just the regular ones. Best farming zones are: Un’goro Crater, Winterspring and Blasted Lands.
300 – 350 (325) Fel Iron ore, Adamantite ore
Fel Iron ore is easily farmed in Hellfire peninsula and you can keep mining it to 350 skill. Once you git 325 you can also choose to move to Nagrand and mine Adamantite ore until you get your mining skull up to 350.
350 - 400 Cobalt Ore
Move to Northrend and mine for Cobalt ore in the Borean Thundra until you reach skill 400.
400 – 425 Saronite ore
Wintergrasp is the best place to farm Saronite ore and you will reach skill 425 in no time.
425 – 475 Obsidium Ore
Back to Kalimdor and Mount Hyal, this is the perfect place to continue; mine Obsidium until your skill is at 475 and then move to Twilight Highlands.
475 – 525 Elementium ore
Twilight Highlands is the perfect spot for farming Elementium ore, however, you won’t be able to mine Rich Elementium nods until your skill is at 500. Pyrite will require a maximum mining skill.
