WoW Mining Guide

Mining is one of the best ways to earn gold in World of Warcraft. The fastest and best way of leveling the mining profession is with a good WoW Mining Guide. Mining serves three professions: Engineering, Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting. Now, you don’t actually need any of these professions to be a miner. You could after all just mine copper, tin or any other ore and sell either the ore or the smelted stuff like silver and gold. Mining after all is a gathering profession and therefore can take some time to level up, with a guide you’ll find the best zones with the most mining nodes.

Mining goes from level 1-450. 300-375 you’re considered a master miner, 375-450 you’re a Grand Master. To reach the level of Master Miner, level 300 and up, you’ll need to get training at Hellfire Peninsula in Outland. To move up to Grand Master, level 375-450, go to Northend for training.

Getting Started with Mining Profession

Now, when first starting out you’ll need to find a mining trainer. You’ll start out as an Apprentice then move up the ranks as a Journeyman, Expert, and Artisan. Here’s a list of trainers for these levels and their location:

• Gelman Stonehand- The Dwarven District, Stormwind 
• Yarr Hammerstone- Stellgrill’s Depot, Dun Morogh 
• Dank Drizzlecut- Gol’Bolar Quarry, Dun Morogh 
• Geofram Bouldertoe- The Great Forge, Ironforge 
• Dulvi- Azure Watch, Azuremyst Isle 
• Muaat- Traders’ Tier, The Exodar 
• Kurdram Stonehammer- Auberdine, Darkshore 
• Brock Stoneseeker- Thelsamar, Loch Modan 
• Prospector Nachlan- Blood Watch, Bloodmyst Isle 
• Matt Johnson- Darkshire, Duskwood 
• Brom Killian- The War Quarter, Undercity

• Makaru- Valley of Honor, Orgrimmar 
• Belil- Farstriders’ Square, Silvermoon 
• Johan Focht- The Sepulcher, Silverpine Forest 
• Pikkle- Gadgetzan, Tanaris 

I recommend Gold Secrets if you’re running low on gold. Along with the WoW Mining Guide you’ll be able to level your profession not only fast but also in the cheapest way possible. It will show you the best places to mine, the best recipes and walk you through the whole process.
The Mining Pick is going to be the first thing you need to buy. You’ll find them being sold by the Trade Merchant or other Merchants close to the trainer.

Mining Mineral Veins

Once you’ve done this, it’s time to find the mineral veins that you’ll be mining. They’re usually located near quest sites, mines, and mountain terrain. Here are some of the ore and their associated levels:

• Copper- 1

You can either discover the good mining spots yourself or with the help of a WoW mining guide. The ore you’ll be mining is going to change as you level up your profession but you’ll start by mining copper.
