Simple WOW Mining Guide for Gold and Copper

The World of Warcraft (WOW) is an exciting strategy game where you need a good WOW mining guide to improve your character’s skills to mine. Each character in the game has different professions and mining skill is required with the blacksmithing, engineering and jewel crafting professions.

The character’s skill to mine is an integral part of their ability to excel in their quest to master the World of Warcraft. They need to mine ore, metal deposits and gems along their journey in order to save money instead of buying these materials.

Additional skills on smelting and finding material deposits are also needed. The skill needed by the character to find the materials is in its use of radar that can passively alert the character for a mineral deposit nearby. Learning to smelt is essential to convert ore into usable materials. This can be done in forges that are found in populated regions.

What You Will Need in Mining

You must have your skill enhanced to a +5 mining skill. A Goblin mining helmet is necessary for the engineer since it adds +5 mining skill to the character. You should also keep in mind before starting mining that ores are only found on the side of the hills so you must follow the trail along the hillsides.

Then head north on the cliff face then go east to go back to Orgrimmar. You can mine about 30-40 copper ore deposits along this route.
