The most important skill in mining is prospecting. Its function is similar to herbalism to find herbs and fishing spots, and it will show the location of minerals on your small map. Once you find the vein, you need to dig it with your miner's hoe. Engineers can also make special tools instead of miners' hoes, such as gnome sabers and hammer hoes.
Learn to mine
Old world
Like most other professions, any trainer in the main city can teach you from apprentice to master, so you need to study in a specific city at this stage. You can also mine as your character upgrades, so that you can practice the corresponding mining skill level on the map with people of your own level.
However, as explained in the next section, it is easier and faster to train your mining in eastern kingdoms in order to achieve a balance between your own level and the mining level, so the alliance should consider visiting Gil Flam Stu (50.0, 26.3) in Ironforge or Gilman Si Tong Hand (59.3, 37.8) in Stormwind. Similarly, tribes should consider looking for Brom Kirian (56.0, 37.5) in undercity or Bilir (78.9, 43.2) in silver moon.
foreign country/land
After passing through the dark door to Outland, the mining trainer will be located in the first mission area of your camp. The alliance is hornak Grimau (56.7, 63.9) of Glory Castle, and the tribe is Kruger (55.4, 37.6) of Salma.
If you can visit Shatas, you can also find two neutral trainers: Verno (36. 1, 48.7) in aldo and Henril (58.8, 75.6438+0) in Skrill.
Northrend
In Northrend, when you land from the airship to the camp, the master mining trainer should be with all other master professional trainers. The alliance needs to find Findlig Hongshu (57.7, 66. 1) in the Fearless Fortress, and the tribe needs to find Bronna Iron Axe (42.6, 53.2) in the Warsong Fortress.
If you have the authority of Dalaran, Jedian Handels is an additional neutral trainer, but since you really want to collect ore outside instead of learning new drawings, you can learn mining in the first mission area, and you don't have to go to Dalaran.
Mining skill level
Like most other acquisition majors, the fastest way to find ore spots and improve mining skills is to circulate around the outer boundary of the area. Connecting all mines with the shortest distance line is called the "optimal route", which is the most desirable route for mining. When areas are mentioned below, unless otherwise specified, this collection strategy should be to complete the optimal route. Although it may seem boring, it will help you reach the full level faster than other methods.
Old world
Surprisingly, the distribution of mines in the old world is actually the most difficult part of practicing mining. There are two reasons for this. First of all, the mine location between Kalimdor and eastern kingdoms is very uneven. For example, between 175 and 250, you can stay in three or four areas of the Eastern Kingdom, but in Kalimdor, you must move within the same horizontal span. Secondly, the lack of flying mounts greatly increases the time needed to complete the mining route around the area.
Therefore, if you are interested in rapidly upgrading the mining level, we suggest that you train the mining skill level of 1-275 (or 1-300) in eastern kingdoms.
First of all, find a mining coach and learn primary mining. Experts used to generate veins in specific areas of the camp, so the following will be distributed like this.
1 _ 65: copper ore/copper vein (mining grade required 1)
Copper is one of the most abundant minerals, which was first discovered in every race in World of Warcraft. After learning primary mining, you only need to complete the mining route around your starting area.
After you collect enough mining resources, go back to your trainer to learn intermediate level.
65 _ 125: tin ore and silver ore
Tin mine/tin mine (mining is required 65)
Oriental kingdom
Tribe: Pinus koraiensis and Hillsbrad Hills.
Alliance: Lok Modan and Wild West.
Karimdo
Tribe: Stone Claw Mountain, barren land, Thousand Needles Stone Forest.
Alliance: Black Coast and Grey Valley
Silver ore/silver ore (need to mine 75)
Oriental kingdom
Neutrality: Alashi Highlands
Tribe: Silver Pine Forest, Hillsbrad Hills and Ghost Land.
Although a complete mining route can be completed in the ghost land, you can also make a smaller mining route on the path between the blackened land and Dyson and the holy land of the moon.
Alliance: Locke Mo Dan and Twilight Forest
Kalimdor (It is particularly difficult to collect silver in Kalimdor, so it may be easier to continue collecting tin before you reach 125).
Neutral: Grey Valley
After collecting enough ore to reach 125, you should go back to the trainer to learn advanced mining. After this stage, all events will appear in the disputed area.
125 _ 175: iron ore and gold ore
Iron ore/vein (mining required 125)
Oriental kingdom
Twilight forest, Aotelanke mountain, Lan highland, barren land.
In the twilight forest, the best route is to start from the nearest border to the Thorn Valley, continue to drive along the border of the sad swamp, and then end along the ridge near the night town, hovering outside the twilight forest.
On barren land, the standard route is good, but you can also complete a smaller route on the cliff between Kagas and the volcanic cave to get extra speed.
Karimdo
Thousand needles stone forest, desolate land, gray valley, Neurisse Tower.
In a desolate place, the most effective route is to start from Yinying Village.
In Grey Valley, you only need to bypass the east side of the area.
In order to gather in Neurisse, the quickest way is to start from Garkisen, bypass the outside of the Cave of Time, and then return to Garkisen.
Gold ore/vein (need to be mined 155)
Oriental kingdom
Burning plains, Aotelanke mountains, highland, barren land.
In the barren land, in addition to the standard, larger route, you can also make a mini route like collecting iron ore.
Karimdo
Nalista, Thousand Needles Stone Forest, anglo Crater.
At Thousand Needles Stone Forest, you can stop your route and turn around at the edge of the flash plain.
In Angolo Crater, the most concentrated gold is on the northwest edge.
After completing these mining routes, you can train to the expert level! When you reach the expert level and start collecting black iron ore, it is necessary for you to go to eastern kingdoms, because Kalimdor will not produce black iron ore.
175 _ 275: Secret silver mine, real silver mine, black iron mine and se silver mine.
Mithril ore/mithril vein (mining required 175)
Oriental kingdom
Burning plains, Aotelanke mountains, highland, barren land.
On barren land, the same route can be used to mine tin and gold.
In the Aotelanke Mountains, mithril is concentrated around the ruins of Aotelanke.
Karimdo
Neurisse, a desolate place, Aisara.
In a desolate place, the most effective route is to build a route around the valley.
In Aisara, your route should follow this road until you reach the ruins of Edaras. After that, you need to follow the mountains north of the ruins, then follow the northern edge of the area, bypass the mountains on the northeast coast, and then return to the ruins.
True silver ore/vein (mining 205 is required)
Oriental kingdom
Burning plains, cursed land, highland and outland mountains.
The most concentrated real silver mine in burning grassland is mallet.
In the cursed land, real silver will never be generated in the mark of the magic blade.
You can follow the same route as the mithril ore in the Altrank Mountains.
Karimdo
Craters in Nalis, Aisara and anglo.
In Nalis, the most authentic silver is produced along the mountains on the western edge of the region, so you should be able to make a cycle with them.
The route you used for Mi Yin in Aisara is also applicable to real silver, but even less is generated.
In Angolo Crater, real silver is produced in the southeast of the area, so it can reach the place where gold mining stopped before.
Black iron ore/black iron ore vein (mining is required 230)
Oriental kingdom
Burning grassland, burning canyon
Jinzhongbai Silver Mine/Jinzhongbai Silver Vein (mining 250 is required)
Oriental kingdom
Fairwood's burning plains
The recommended places are burning plains or Fairwood. There are several brush points in the fat hole, but it is not easy to find which hole it is, so it is recommended not to mine it if you are not familiar with the situation in the hole. Just walk around the mountain, these two places don't need to stay for a long time, just go to 275.
Silver mine, arcane crystal/fused silver vein (mining 275 is required)
Oriental kingdom
Fielas, silithus, Dongquan Valley
The recommended place is the wormhole of Cyrus, which is definitely a paradise. As long as you choose the right time, no one will rob you, and it will soon reach 300. The key is to be familiar with the wormhole map. Or you can choose to go to Dongquan Valley, where there are many rich mines, but the map is too big to run.
Once your mining volume reaches 275, you can go through the Dark Gate and learn from the mining masters.
foreign country/land
275 _ 350: Magic Iron Ore and Refined Gold Ore
Magic iron ore/magic iron ore vein (need to mine 275)
Hellfire Peninsula, Zan Gamache.
After you have mined enough subways, you start collecting refined gold, but there are two different veins at different levels: 325 refined gold veins and 350 refined gold veins.
Generally speaking, "rich" or "pure" points will produce more ore and have a higher chance of falling rare minerals (here, constant gold ore). In this case, the vein rich in refined gold also has additional unique advantages. After the number of players reaches 350, most people will go to Northrend immediately and start mining cobalt ore, but this also caused a lot of competition in the initial area. In order to avoid this situation, you can continue to collect rich gold mines until you reach 375, and speed up the upgrade process of WLK content.
Fine gold ore/fine gold vein (325)+ fine rich gold vein (350)
Fine gold ore (325)
Fengdaoshan terokkar forest Naglan
In Nageland, you can exclude the area around the Washu Valley from the route.
In the forest of terokkar, your route should be concentrated in the area around Thuram, Rift Stone Castle, Oreglia Fortress, Bones Wilderness and Fire Wings sentry post.
Concentrated gold ore (350)
Kamen Rider Shadow Moon Valley, netherstorm
In Shadow Moon Valley, start from the vicinity of the Legion Fortress, walk along the southeast path to the Illidari sentry post, go north to the hand of Goolden, and then directly return to the Legion Fortress.
In the netherstorm, it starts from the south of Manalu Buna, goes east to Kenruiwa village, goes north to Manalu Utis, and then goes west to the foundry base. From there through the ruins of Nkat, and then back to Buner.
Whether you choose to stay in Outland or not, once you reach 350, you can go to Northrend and become a main miner.
Northrend
350 _ 450: Cobalt mine, Salonjie iron mine.
Cobalt ore and Salon siderite are also formed in rich veins. For these, they occur in a relatively similar position to the standard nodes, so you can continue to make standard routes and look for them specifically. In addition, there is another place where you can find the pure Salonye iron ore vein, which will be mentioned below.
Cobalt ore/vein (350)+ cobalt-rich vein (375)
Cobalt vein (350)
North wind tundra, grizzly bear hill, Feng Xiao fjord.
Cobalt-rich vein (375)
North wind tundra, grizzly bear hill, Feng Xiao fjord.
Salon goethite/Salon goethite vein (400), Fu Salon goethite vein (425),+Pure Salon goethite vein (450)
Salonye iron ore vein (400)
Ice cap glacier, Solacha basin, storm cliff
Fuseilong Iron Ore Vein (425)
Ice cap glacier, Solacha basin, storm cliff
Pure Saloni Iron Ore Vein (450)
The only pure Sharon vein occurs in Audoul. After completing most of the raids and arriving at the prison in Yogsalon, the player must defeat General V. zaks. In his room, before the last meeting, there was a chance to generate a pure blood. Unlike other pure veins, this vein does not provide rare titan iron ore, but it has the opportunity to produce eternal shadows and eternal places.
With it, you have completed the upgrade! Congratulations! Continue reading to learn about titanium ore and titanium refining ingots and their potential, which will bring you huge profits.
Summary (ferrotitanium and titanium steel)
Whether you use ore for production or not, all miners can benefit from collecting titan iron ore. It is the key material of many advanced equipments. The ore is collected from Titan iron vein, and the most abundant is located in ice cap glacier, Solacha basin and storm cliff, but be careful! Competition in these places is usually fierce.
Ferrotitanium ingot is also the main material for manufacturing ferrotitanium refining ingot. Titan fine steel is more coveted by all professions that need to make bars than Titan Iron. Besides Salonye iron ore, it is the only mineral used to make ToC and ICC drawings and enchants. It is also the main material for making coveted engineering projects. To make Titan fine steel, you need to smelt Titan fine steel, which requires:
3x ferrotitanium ingot
1x eternal flame
1x Eternal Land
1x eternal shadow
But please remember: smelting has a cooling time of 20 hours, so please choose how to deal with it wisely.
