Low degree gamers ought to skip each caves.
Low degree gamers ought to skip each caves.
The respawn charge is quick sufficient that you do not have to loop round the entire zone, so you need to use these two routes. In case you have competitors, it’s best to transfer between the 2 routes whereas mining copper between them.

Ores in these zones:

Low degree gamers ought to skip each caves and follow the east aspect of Redridge.
The respawn charge needs to be quick sufficient that you do not have to enter the cave marked on the map, however there may be at all times two Tin Veins inside, so I feel it is price to go inside with excessive degree characters.
There may be extra Tin/Copper on the southern route, however you need to use the northern route as a substitute if there are too many individuals farming within the zone. The distinction between the 2 will not be that large.
125 – 175
Go to your coach and study Professional Mining. (It is advisable degree up Mining to not less than 125)
Ores in these zones: 
Iron Ore, Tin Ore, Gold Ore
There are 4 caves marked with pink circles on the map, be sure that to go all the way in which to the top of every cave since you will not see all of the mining veins from the doorway.

Decrease degree gamers ought to in all probability skip the cave to the south. It actually is dependent upon your degree/gear/class.
There are two caves marked with a pink circle on the map, each of them have a whole lot of mobs inside, so I might solely suggest this farming place to degree 60 gamers with good gear, or for Druids and Rogues with stealth.
It is actually exhausting to navigate contained in the Garrison Armory mine, so I included a small map. Alliance gamers cannot mine contained in the Garrison Armory!
There are often 2 mining nodes insides the cave marked with a pink circle. It is price going contained in the cave as a result of it is not too massive and there aren’t that many mobs inside, and in case you are excessive degree, you may cross a few of them with out aggro.
I like to recommend skipping the opposite two caves at Jaednar, particularly Shadow Maintain. (possibly when you’ve got stealth it is price to go inside them)
275 – 300
Ores in these zones: Thorium Ore, Mithril Ore
Now you may mine Wealthy Thorium Veins too.
Nearly the identical because the earlier Un’Goro route, however now it consists of Wealthy Thorium Veins.
The pink line is crammed with degree 57-58 elites, so when you’ve got unhealthy gear, it’s best to in all probability simply skip that half totally except you’ve got stealth. With some follow, you may often get by solely aggroing a number of of them.
All of those notes beneath are for gamers beneath degree 70. If you’re already at max degree, simply ignore these, you may farm the total map with out issues.
- The mobs on this cave will not be that onerous to kill, so it is price clearing for many lessons. (is dependent upon gear)
- Most lessons can enter not less than the primary a part of the cave with out pulling aggro. You’ll be able to strive going deeper relying in your gear.
- There are a whole lot of elites patroling inside this gorge, however you may often cross most of them with out pulling aggro. Generally you need to kill 1 or 2.

The 2 caves marked with pink circles are crammed with degree 50 mobs, so decrease degree gamers would possibly need to skip them. (is dependent upon gear and degree)
Burning Crusade Classic (300-375)
You’ll be able to study the brand new TBC Mining ability in Hellfire Peninsula from Hurnak Grimmord (Alliance) at Honor Maintain or Krugosh (Horde) at Thrallmar.
300 – 325
I like to recommend Route 1 and Route 2 for degree 70 gamers with flying mount. There may be not a lot distinction between the 2 routes, I bought roughly the identical variety of Fel Iron on each routes.
For those who do not have a flying mount and are nonetheless leveling your character, then use Route 3.
It is unattainable to keep away from pulling mobs in Hellfire Penninsula with a low degree character, however this route avoids most areas with excessive density of mobs, so you need to use it with decrease degree characters.
Do not use this when you’ve got a flying mount!
325 – 350
There will likely be a number of Wealthy Adamantite nodes in Terokkar Forest you could’t mine till you attain 350. However, they will solely spawn within the areas accessible by flying mount, so this isn’t a problem for decrease degree gamers. (Skettis and the realm above Shattrat Metropolis)
There are two caves marked with pink circles on the map. You must go inside each of them and just be sure you go all the way in which to the top as a result of typically you will not see the Mining nodes from the doorway.
You have to a flying mount for this route, use route 3 if you do not have one.
Different route for gamers with out flying mount.
350 – 375
I like to recommend getting your final 25 ability factors in Nagrand, Netherstorm or Shadowmoon Valley.
These routes beneath are made for gamers with flying mount. You’ll be able to mine all the things besides Khorium with 350 mining ability, so in case you are not degree 70 but, I feel it is best to easily give attention to leveling and getting your flying mount. I do not assume it price specializing in attending to 375 in case you are not 70 but.
However, if you wish to attain 375 with a lower-level character, I like to recommend simply sticking to Terokkar Forest and Zangarmarsh. Each Adamantite Ore and Fel Iron ore give ability factors all the way in which as much as 375.
There are 4 caves marked with pink circles on the map. You must go inside them and just be sure you go all the way in which to the top as a result of typically you will not see the Mining nodes from the doorway.
Similar to in Nagrand, I marked the caves with pink circles on the map. However, it’s best to solely go inside when you’ve got stealth or if there may be a whole lot of different individuals farming within the zone. These are a lot larger than the Nagrand caves, and the mobs are loads greater degree. (possibly with good gear it is price clearing them)
There are two caves within the zone, nevertheless it’s not price going inside them. It takes too lengthy to get to the nodes, and you may farm extra ores simply doing laps within the zone as a substitute.
Congratulations on reaching 375! Please send feedback in regards to the guide when you assume there are elements I might enhance, otherwise you discovered typos, errors, unsuitable materials numbers!
