In World of Warcraft mining is one of the most frustrating trade skills to level. It is not because the mining trade skill is a difficult to raise. It is because Blizzard's implementation of the higher level metal ore spawns needed to raise the skill, along with the low skill up caps on smelting ores, frustrates the all but the most determined player.

Mining, like skinning, can be profitable. It takes longer for the World of Warcraft miner to gather resources. Nodes of ore spawn alongside hills, caves, in water, and not in flat open plains. The miner should probably concentrate on looking for spawns around the edges of the zone when he first starts out.

The Beginning Point for a World of Warcraft Miner

Whether the new World of Warcraft Miner is Alliance or Horde, the first two things a player needs to do are to purchase training in the mining skill and buy a pick from a vendor. The mining pick will be used to dig up the ores you find in the nodes that spawn in caves, underwater, or on hillsides. Because of its spawn frequency, copper is the easiest ore to obtain in World of Warcraft and the ore with which the miner should begin his career.

World of Warcraft Mining After Copper

When the World of Warcraft miner finds that copper veins become gray to him, he will have to start searching for nodes of tin. Trying to find nodes of tin that causes many miners to choose a different gathering profession. Mining yields the largest potential reward of any gathering trade skill in the game, but the casual player may want to choose a gathering trade skill that requires a lesser time commitment.

For The World of Warcraft miner determined to stick with the mining profession, there are ways to reduce the time commitment required. Once tin become the nods the player needs to search for, both Alliance and Horde players should travel to the cave in the Wetland near Dun Algaz. The frequent mineral spawns of incendite ore here allow players to easily get their mining skill up to 150. At skill level 125, the miner should go back to a capital city and train. The incendite ore is part of an Alliance quest that can be obtained in Dun Morogh.

At 150 World of Warcraft Miners should Head to Thousand Needles

The next step after training mining to the journeyman level at a capitol city for the World of Warctraft miner should to be start mining Iron and gold. The player cannot gather or smelt mithril until his mining skill level reaches 175. Once the artisan level of mining has been reached, both Alliance and Horde players' best option is to gather metals in the Thousand Needles area.

As the entrances into Thousand Needles that the player is most likely to use are guarded by Tauren guards, the World of Warcraft miner on the Alliance side may find Thousand Needles difficult to get to unless the player manages to sneak into the zone through Feralas. The braver Alliance player approaching from the Barrens may choose to jump off the cliff or let the guard kill him and take the resurrection sickness that results from coming back to life by using a spirit healer.

The World of Warcraft Miner chooses to take up one of the most difficult gathering trade skills in the game. The rewards should the miner choose to sell his wears to other players on the auction house are great. Many players in the game would rather skip the frustrations suffered by the World of Warcraft Miner. He can also make a profit selling to engineers, blacksmiths, and jewel crafters.
