World of Warcraft Mining Profession
Mining in World of Warcraft is one of the best gold makers. Just
be sure to sell your stuff in the Auction House in smelted
stacks. The Buy out option is one of your best advantages when
you sell so make sure you use it. It's usually best to smelt
copper and tin into bronze or vice Versa. Be sure to check the
going price and figure out if selling the bases or the product
will sell for more.
Lower level mining skill of course wouldn't make you as much as
being on top of the chart and we know it may be a little
difficult or frustrating to level. It may take about 1 hour to
get to tin level so its not too bad. However tin is a little
more aggravating. Near ashenvale there is a place with harpies
that has a few nice spots. From there stick to the wall and go
south, head over to South Barrens. go around Scorpid,
Bristleback and Razormane and you should be able to level your
tin in no time.
Mithril is the key to making the most World of Warcraft gold.
Engineering and Blacksmiths both need massive amounts to produce
the items with their skills. Mithril usually sells off extremely
fast a nice price in the auction house.
In southern Kalimdor you'll find Tanaris, a level 40-50 zone.
There are many mineral ores that will make you filthy rich. You
can start at Gadgetzan and cut across the desert to start. Be
sure to check all the rocks and croppings along the way. The
place is dangerous with alot of spawns. Travel along the edge,
and then back along the outter boundary circling the map.
Thistleshrub valley also has a few hot spots along with Un'Goro
crater, Zul'Farrak and the areas close to Gadgetzan. Mining
mithril may be a bit hard at low level, but the having the
copper and tin will help you get some extra gold to spare until
higher level. If you're level 50 you should be able to farm
mithril fine.
This is a simple tip on how to make money at low level. Would be
easier if you were an Orc or Troll because of their starting
location. Orcs and Troll starts in durotar, for other races you
will need to travel a bit further but it should all work pretty
well.
You will need to become a Journeyman miner to begin. Durotar has
the highest number of copper veins so would be the most ideal
place. Once you've collected a good amount of copper ore, return
to the forge and smelt them. Once your copper ore is turned in
bars, follow the path from Razor Hill north to Ogrimmar and then
head to the auction house. Talk to one of the auctioneers and
set price to 40 silver for buyout and make the price 45-60
silver per 20 copper bars. I've seen stacks of copper bars go
for 4 gold but average seems more around 80 silver pieces to 1
gold piece. Be sure to check the prices in the auction house
first before listing. This is an ideal way to make money at low
level.
