World of Warcraft Mining

In World of War crafting, mining is used to extract gems, minerals, and stones from mineral deposits found throughout the kingdom.

Certain skills are combined with mining. These skills are blacksmithing, engineering, and jewelry making. These skills allow you to sell metals and stones in the auction room. It is always advantageous to have mining when acquiring these skills. You’d rather mine your own materials than have to buy them from the auction room.

Two additional skills come with mining, namely smelting and finding minerals. The smelter allows the player to convert ores and minerals into usable metals, while the Find Mineral stills reflect nearby mineral deposits on the minimap.

To start mining, you will need to purchase a mining pick from a vendor.
