Mining for beginners!

[jimmys96]

Ok, so I haven't found any cata guides for mining yet so let's start!
Hello, my name is Jimmy and I want to teach you how to make about 10k gold each day if you mine enough.

Ok, so first we want to go mining!

I found about 40 stacks of Elementium ore when I mined.

Then you would want to smelt those 40 stacks into 20 stacks of elementium bars.
Then your going to need ALOT of Volatile earth, to recreate those elementium bars to hardened elementium bars.
You will get some volatile earths from mining, but you can also sell your volatile fires for about 20g each and buy some volatile earth for that and if volatile waters price is lower then volatile earths price, announce in trade that you will do a 1:1 trade with them for volatile earths, theres gotta be a moron to take the deal.
ok, so we turned them into 2 stacks of hardened elementium bars, now what?
Let's take a look at the auction house!
ok so theres a few bars under 200g each, then youll have to wait an hour or two (sometimes more) until someone bought em and theyre OVER 200g again, nows your time to put 10-15 bars out for about 200g each!
Then just wait an hour or two.


PRO TIP: when all of your items are sold, check your mailbox... >.>


long guide made short:

1. mine about 40 stacks elementium ore
2. smelt to 20 stacks elementium bars
3. sell volatile fire and 1:1 trade the waters for volatile earth
4.make them hardened elementium bars
5.sell them for >200g on AH
6.???
7.check your mailbox



This was my first guide so dont be too hard on me.
and also, please do correct my spelling errors or anything like that!

Waste of time, selling the ore + volatiles would yield higher than the hardened elementium (assuming >5G/ore)

Common sense is common sense.

You should tell us where to farm 40 stacks elementium ore. That would be a +rep!

[jimmys96]

on my server ores = 5g each and bars 10-11g, volatile earth is around 15-20g and fires 15-20. water is 10-15g. so lets say we get 20 ores and 2 volatile earths.

selling ores would give 100g, volatiles would bring in 30-40g. thats 130-140g. you can remake them to hardened by buying 2 volatile earths and sell the bars for 200g - 2 volatile earth (30-40g) wich leads to 160-170g. so no, i dont think the selling the ores and volatiles is a more effective way of earning gold.

fleischi93, i mined for 4 hours in twilight highlands. actually got abit more ores but i just took 40stacks because it was easier to count with..

Okay thanks, but you got that much in 4 hours? On my realm are some little bastards, they steal you every fu**ing ore -.- (Sorry for my English)
