TIP:Leveling mining fast

[Swiftle]

If you are like me and want to be the first one to set the prices for the new ores and get max income you'll want to max your gathering skills ASAP. Here's what worked the best for me:

1.Get flying License and train your professions
2.Go to Hyjal and mine obsidium till you hit 475 skill
3.Next go to Uldum

Here's a map of where I found most of the elementium veins lie:

You also get some Rich Elementium Veins and Pyrite as bonus. And since most people are too busy leveling up you'll be relatively undisturbed.

good luck competing with the endless masses in the first zone.

Just a heads up to everyone, after hitting 475 mining skill, head to Twilight Highlands. Much better mining potential there

[isnich]

Level up in Northrend until 475 (or 470 with gloves).

Go straight to Twighlight. Elementium is 475.

Massive Ores.

It took me about 1 hour to hit 525 for both Mining and Herbalism.

Now I'm sitting on 1900 elementium ore and about 250 pyrit + couple of hundred herbs. And since this gives now xp, I made about 2 level with just gathering. XP rate was 530k / h.

For about 2 days I had this almost to just myself, now some more people are showing up, but it can be still a good resource if you hurry up.

Best is: no aggressive mobs in the right routes, I just got killed 3 times because I was to greedy, skip the dangerous spots.

Deepholm is best for mining Elementium, it is literally covered with it...

[Swiftle]

Guys I posted this for the first few hours after the expansion went live. I chose uldum because it was empty and had plenty of elementium. Of course you can go to Deepholm but I wanted to get my minerals vey fast and you need to be lvl 82 to get to Deepholm, thus I chose Uldum.

how much gold are you gettin per stack when you sell?

Fastest way:
Buy up ore, make bars
resell bars,
did that with elementium bars and got 20+ points + profit
