Mining Routes

Arathi Highlands – 4 caves which are full of nodes, use them well, miner!

Once again, it is easier to smelt through these levels using some easy yet unknown techniques – you can use that guide to get all the gold you need to buy the materials from the Auction House, then smelting them using our Smelting guide (See mining section). However, if you wish to facilitate the slower method, here are the routes:

The Barrens – Max Level 25 Mobs – Just follow the route around the map, however, if you can’t cope with level 25 mobs just yet you should just stick to the northern parts.

Now, this is a no-brainer for me. Below is a smelting guide which can take you to 1-375 in one day. Smelting takes seconds, and you can smelt your way to 375 skill. That is only 75 skill off max skill. So in one day, you can max out mining using the guide below. Ofcourse, there is a down-side, it can take alot of gold but the good news, there is a way around this.

Introduction

So you have started a new character, you should decide what professions you want to take and learn them right away. In this case, I guess you have chose mining and now you are wondering how to do it. If you have just picked up Mining as a level 80 character, you will have to ofcourse mine through the beginning zones – although you won’t have to worry about higher mobs. I have gathered the ideal mining routes for each race below so you can mine in your starting zone. As with the rest of the zone maps, just follow the route indicated and you will start finding mining nodes. Don’t forget – when you hit the your skill cap for that mining skill, you must return to the mining trainer and learn the next skill.
