[GUIDE] 100g + by level 20

[Manky]

So we all know about Copper Bars by now i'm sure, and how much profit can be made. But i had a scout around and couldn't find any detailed guide on it.

1. Copper Bars? What's the big deal?

Copper Bars are probably the most easy way for low levels to amass tonnes of gold at low levels. How ever, you could ask yourself why you need a guide for mining, but to maximize efficiency and gold making you need to know 100% what your doing out there.

-

Copper Bars can be sold for 1g - 3g on my original server - Frostmane, which can make low levels very rich. Many think they've stumbled across a magical secret when they find themselves with 30g at lvl 16, but really, it is just common sense.

2. Where to Start

Getting a good spot to mine in essential in low level gold making. You need a place with tonnes of veins, but low level mobs. You need a place which is easily accessable, and easy to travel around. Durotar my friend. It is the mother load of Copper Veins, but for it to go from 'that dry place with alot of copper veins' to the mother load, you need to know where to look.

-

First, as your leveling in durotar, remember to pick up and vendor all the stackable items you can. Also as your leveling, remember to pick up mining and a mining pick at razor hill. Then finish all your quests head over to the barrens, level there until you hit 15, then fly to orgrimmar and try to buy as large bags as you can. The more bag space, the better.

Durotar:




Now for the grind. Head out of Org and towards 1, remembering to have your track minerals on. As you head towards 1, lots of veins will pop up on your mini map. Mine all of these, or as many as possible. Mine all of it round there, and then head through the rocky cliffs (forgot the name :s) and down to 2. Round here, the veins become a little less frequent, but are normally bunched up ie. four veins surrounding the same rock. Then walk up that narrow ridge, mining all the veins, until you reach three. Now's the time to run around and go on the look out and scout around for veins. When your finished there, head back towards 1, but make sure you run along the cliffs to 4, mining all the veins. As you reach four, you will find yourself in a similar setting as number 2. Now just simply mine everything around here and then head back up to Org.

-

You should have about 6-9 stacks, which is 9 - 27g. This whole thing shouldn't of taken more than an 45 minutes.

Smelt them down and sell them for a little above average, ie. if its 1 - 3g, sell it at 2g bid 2.50g buyout.

-

They should be bought fairly quickly, leaving you with alot of money for a low level

This guide was designed so that you could have a gold mining session every day that would grab you some nice loot. I would do this in the mornings before school, from lvl 15 - 20, and by 20 had 87g. My cousin who's an either slower lvler had 124g by 20.

Thanks for reading this, Manky.
