WoW Classic Profession Guide from wisepowder's blog

WoW Classic Profession Guide Of all the gathering professions in World of Warcraft: Classic, Mining may be the least attractive at first glance, but can be one of the most important. The process is simple enough, just gather ore from veins, but compared to Tailoring and Skinning, a player must usually plan to go farming for ore along planned routes in order to advance their Blacksmithing or Engineering professions. Eventually, Mining also becomes essential for Jewelcrafting, but it is important to note that this profession does not exist in World of Warcraft: Classic.To get more news about buy wow gold classic, you can visit lootwowgold official website. 

Similar to Herbalism and Skinning, a player's mining level will determine if they can mine a node. As a result, you may need to revisit low level areas often to farm mineral nodes to progress from 1-300. Otherwise you will find nodes in higher level areas that cannot be mined. Unlike cloth, which drops from humanoids, and Herbs, which litter the map and are found in all directions, Mining requires planning. Using the Find Minerals skill, which is provided to your character when you take the Mining profession, you will begin to see a pattern as to where Mineral nodes spawn. For the most part, 

Mineral nodes appear only around cliffs, dig sites, and inside of caves. This can lead to some frustration as your mini map provides only a two-dimensional top-down view of an area, and in caves with multiple levels, you may be left scratching your head looking for a vein that is either located above or below you. One of the best ways then to mine efficiently is not to stand around a cave waiting for a few nodes to respawn, but to create a route in maps with rocky cliffs and run in a loop. Take the image below of a mining route for Mulgore. 

Notice how about three-quarters of the map has you moving alongside the mountainous barrier where nodes will spawn, and only the bottom is spent running without the chance to see any minerals.A few laps around can yield a good amount of Minerals, but this can feel repetitive and boring. This is why we consider Mining the least attractive of the gathering professions, because skinning can be done while questing as you often need to slay beasts, and herbs litter the map anywhere one goes. In addition, farming in these routes can sometimes feel like a waste of time because other players are also doing the same thing as you. If you are a minute or so behind another player, they are mining away, and you are running around wondering why there are no nodes available. You may wait around for a respawn to continue your route but sitting idly by is not something most players enjoy.
