Mining Guide 1-450

This WoW Mining guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Mining profession up from 1 to 450.

Mining is gathering profession and in my opinion, Mining is a real gold maker, you can even sell the lowest level Copper Ore for a decent amount of gold, level 80 players will buy them, because they are lazy to farm the materials at low levels.

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 450, 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.

I strongly recommend to download the following addon:

Gatherer
This addon show you every Mining node locations on your map, like you will see on the pictures in the guide. The addon and the databse can be found here.

WoW Mining Leveling Guide 1 - 450
First, visit any trainer in the main cities - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Mining.

I recommend you to get the following enchant: [Formula: Enchant Gloves - Advanced Mining]. When you reach the thorium part, it will save you a lot of time, because you will be able to mine the Rich Thorium Veins a lot sooner.

When you have around 30 copper Ore, go and Smelt them and repeate the cycle, go mine ores then smelt them. Save the Copper Bars, you will need them.

Durotar - [Copper Ore]



Alternative Map:

Basically just every starter zone. I won't include mining ways for these, because you can find copper everywhere you go.

Elwynn Forest
Darkshore
Azuremyst Isle
Tirisfal Glades
Mulgore
Eversong Woods



65-125
Learn Mining Journeyman.

[Tin Ore], [Silver Ore], [Copper Ore]

This is a really bad part, in my opinion Tin is the hardest to find, there is not a single zone, where you can only find Tin, there is always Copper or Iron aswell. I usually mine Tin until 75, then I smelt all of my Ores. After that, I turn my Copper and Tin Bars into Bronze Bars. This should take you around 90-95 Mining skill.

At 75 you can learn how to smelt Silver Ore. This will help you get your skill to 125. Silver Ore and bars sell for rougly the same, buy the ore and sell the bars at the auction house. However on some high populated servers, Ores are extremely expensive, then you should just mine Tin and Smelt Bronze until 125. If you find any Silver Vein, smelt the ores before you reach 115 in Mining, because it's better to smelt them while they are still yellow or orange and Smelt Silver turns green at 122.

Thousand Needles



125-175
Learn Mining Expert.

[Iron Ore], [Tin Ore], [Gold Ore]

At 155 you can learn how to smelt Gold Ore. Buy 30 Gold Ore and smelt them, that should get you around 175. Same as with Silver Ores, buy them if they are not expensive, smelt them and sell the bars at the Auction House.

Thousand Needles



175-245
[Mithril Ore], [Truesilver Ore]

At 230 you can learn how to smelt Truesilver Ore, this should help you to level up to 245. When you reach 225, don't forget to visit your Mining trainer.

The Hinterlands



Tanaris



245-300
[Thorium Ore]

Get 5 skill by mining Small Thorium Veins, then visit your trainer and learn how to smelt Thorium Bar. You should smelt ores until 270 (you can mine nodes until 270, but it will be a lot slower) , so you will need only 5 points until you can mine Rich Thorium Veins (you can mine them right away, if you have this enchant: [Formula: Enchant Gloves - Advanced Mining]).

I only recommend Winterspring for players level 65 or higher. You can go there at lower levels too, but there is like 2 place where you will have hard time to get in and mine those Rich Thorium Veins. Eastern Plagueland is better if you are lower than level 65.

Winterspring



Eastern Plaguelands
