Mining Level 1 to 450 Fast
Mining is the most popular profession in World of Warcraft. Not only is it extremely useful for any metal-worker, but you can also rely on Mining to make you a good income throughout the game.
Not only do you dig up the raw ores with Mining, you can also smelt them into metal bars for Blacksmiths, Jewelcrafters and Engineers to use. It’s a great idea to combine Mining with one of these other professions.
It takes a good amount of time to reach the highest Mining level – 450 – but it is well worth the trip because you can dig up such valuable metals when you reach that level. Here is the very fastest route to level 450 in Mining:
Although each different starts the game in different areas, here is the intro guide for Dwarves and Gnomes. To read for each race, go here: World of Warcraft Mining Guide. Step one: get trained to Apprentise Mining in town, then reach level 30 by digging for copper ore in Dun Morogh and Durotar. Turn the copper into bars using your smelting ability and save them.
You can train as a Journeyman Miner at level 65. Mine around the Thousand Needles and the Redridge Mountains, looking for tin – usually mixd in with copper and iron. Turn the tin in to bars by smelting, then combine the tin and copper bars to make Bronze bars. Continue until you hit level 95.
Now dig up and turn Silver Ore into bars, which’ll bring you to level 125. Do this around the Arathi Highland and the Thousand Needles. At level 125 you can become Expert Mining. When you reach level 155 and can smelt gold bars, the quickest thign to do now is to just buy gold ore and turn it into bars to get to level 175. You can always sell these bars to afford the ore.
Become expert in Mining at level 225. And move to the Hinterlands and Tanaris area to continue Mining. When you arrive at level 230, get the Truesilver Ore Smelting ability and smelt Truesilver Ore until you reach level 245.
We are now moving into the high levels of mining and you want to get over to Winterspring. Focus on mining and smelting thorium bars (you’ll need to train the skill first). You can find the most Torium around the Eastern Plaguelands. And next, focus on mining Fel Ore near the Hellfire Peninsula – this will get you up to level 325. When you are there mining for Adamandite Ore in Nagrand will bring you up to 350.
