[Guide] Easy money with mining

[Sabens]

Well, my last two posts on tips to make gold seemed to be complete reposts, so I figure I will try to post so original content . I hope this information helps you guys out!

What you are going to need for this is:

1) Level 70 Character
2) Flying Mount (If you dont have an epic thats fine but an epic is easier.)
3) Max Mining skill.

**Remember to put on your Ore finder for your minimap, otherwise good luck

These are the 2 area's you need to fly around:
---And they need to be flown the same way...either clockwise or counterclockwise so the ore's have time to respawn. Once you start flying the little "circuit" and get used to it you will quickly find the area in which all ore's respawn.

1) Terrokar Forest
- Stick to the outskirts of the map by high "mountainous" areas, such as Skettis and the Bone Wastes.
-> The goal is to mine everything you see, especially Adamantite Ore.

2) Shadowmoon Valley
- Again Stick to the corners of the map as you fly around, I found starting in Terrokar and flying my way through Skettis on my way in Shadowmoon and making a circle around the map from there was the easiest way to efficiently hit the ores so they respawn by the time you head back.

Now from here what you need to do is continue mining those rocks until you have a fair amount of ore, I find that in about 3 hours I can amass a sizable amount of ore. From there depending on the server inflation for mining goods of ore compared to bars you need to look at what sells and how fast.

Adamantite Ore on my server sold for 1G per ore. And in 3 hours I could get 200+ Adamanatite Ores. This does not include all the Khorium I found as well as Fel Iron. Fel Iron doesn't sell as well so you will need to make them into Bars and sell them in 5's (This is because people are more likely to buy small amounts of Fel Iron than large amounts.)

As for the motes I amass...and I really mean amass, I turn them into primals and sell them in stacks of 20. Earth is the most common and I always end up with about 15 or more Primal Earths when I'm done. Since Primal Fires tend to sell a lot better and for a lot more it really makes it worth mining those Fel Iron's as you can easily add another 100G to your 3 hour mining session.

Now this has no mention of gems, usually in a 3 hour span you can expect to see about 3-5 gems. Now depending on the gem you can sell them for even more gold.

In 3 hours you can earn a solid and fairly easy 400-500G. It may seem simple, but I think it is worth a try, especially if you are just sitting around and have nothing to do. I hope this helps you guys. Enjoy the guide!

*Remember to also not flood the AH all at once, because then the price will drop.

I guess it would depend on your server's prices, but I find that having my ore prospected then selling the gems makes me more gold than selling the ore.
