Mining Copper
Skill: 1-65
The first resource you will be mining while power leveling your mining is Copper. If you have money you can just skip this step and buy Copper Ore and smelt it into Copper Bars, but if for some reason you would like to use mining instead of smelting to level your skill for this part, I recommend the following zones and routes.
There are also more routes are available in the
Horde Copper Mining Guide and
Alliance Copper Mining Guide.
Mining Tin
Skill: 66-125
At skill level 75 you will be able to mine Silver which you will find frequently while mining Tin. This will help you get your skill to 125. If you have the money, smelting Bronze Bars or Silver Bars from buying ore in the auction house will also help you speed up this step. If you don't have much gold to buy mats then take a look at these
gold making tips. The best Tin Mining Routes are available below.
There are also more routes are available from the
Tin Mining Guide.
Mining Iron
Skill: 126-175
At skill level 155 you will also be able to mine and smelt Gold which can help you get to 175 faster. I recommend buying 20 Gold Ore off the auction house when you hit skill 155 to smelt 20 Gold Bars and use those skill ups to make the process faster (make sure you trained smelt gold from the
Alliance Mining Trainer or
Horde Mining Trainer).
There are more Iron routes are available from the
Iron Mining Guide.
Mining Mithril
Skill: 176-245
At skill level 230 you will be able to mine Dark Iron Ore and Truesilver Ore, both can help you get to 245 quicker but the majority of the work will be done by mining Mithril. The best Mithril mining routes are found below. Also, consider simply skipping to the smelting section of the guide to save time. If you need gold to buy the mats look at this
Gold Guide.
More Mithril routes are available from the
Mithril Mining Guide.
Additionally to help from 230-245 you may find the
Dark Iron Mining Guide or
Truesilver Mining Guide useful.
Mining Thorium
Skill: 246-300
You will NOT be able to mine Rich Thorium Veins until skill 275 so try to focus on mining Small Thorium Veins until then. Also, I personally have mined Thorium until I hit skill level 340 so if you are not quite high enough to enter Outland safely you can stay on Thorium until 340. Below are the best Small Thorium Mining Routes.
Switch to these areas after you hit skill 275 to get to 300 faster.
More Thorium mining routes are available from the
Thorium Mining Guide.
Mining Fel Iron
Skill: 301-350
I want to point out that you can level your mining to 375 just by mining Fel Iron but it may take a little bit longer. I did it without leaving Hellfire Peninsula. It slows down after the mines turn green at 350, but it is possible. Below is the best Fel Iron Mining Route (yes you only need one). Also, don't forget that you can smelt for this section until 340, check out this
Gold Guide if you need gold to buy the mats.
More Fel Iron mining routes are available from the
Fel Iron Mining Guide.
Mining Adamantite
Skill: 351-375
At 350 you are able to mine both Rich Adamantite Deposits and Adamantite Deposits so you should have no trouble going to 375 swiftly if you follow these routes.
As an alternative to mining Adamantite at all you can also skip right ahead to mining Cobalt for these levels.
If you have a flying mount do not use the two areas above but instead try these.
More Adamantite mining routes are available from the
Adamantite Mining Guide.
Mining Cobalt
Skill: 351-400
In Zul'Drak you might find Rich Cobalt nodes but they aren't mine-able until 375. Keep in mind that Zul'Drak is a higher level zone (mid 70's) and if you are a lower level you might want to try Howling Fjord instead. Also, if you have money you might want to consider buying Cobalt Ore off of the auction house and smelting until you reach 375. If you don't have the gold to buy the supplies use these
gold making tips to help you get all the gold you need.
More Cobalt mining routes are available from the
Cobalt Mining Guide.
Mining Saronite
Skill: 401-450
Icecrown has been by far the most rewarding zone for Saronite and Titanium but Scholazar is by far the most fun because there various different options in the route and varying landscapes that you can tour on your mount. Scholazar is usually crowded and highly competitive due to it being a lower level zone but may actually have more node spawns than Icecrown.
More Saronite mining routes are available from the
Saronite Mining Guide.
