World of Wacraft Gold Farming Guide - Mining Secrets!

Gold farming in World of Warcraft, whether it is done at Level 12 or Level 62 is a process that almost always needs a bit of guidance. That is why there are so many World of Warcraft gold guides out there. If you aimlessly wander throughout the world trying to find a good mining node or grouping of mobs, you waste time and energy that could be spent farming. This is especially true with mining, even more so when you reach the upper levels of mining where nodes are few and far between at best.

What to Mine

Mining in the game starts with Copper, which is the most basic of metals. In your case, you will find that copper is actually decently profitable. At about 2-3 gold per stack for raw ore and upwards of 4 gold per stack for Copper Bars, you can resell your leveling stock for between 15 and 20 gold before you reach level 10 with an investment of about 2-3 hours.

But, it is the upper level ores you are going to want to strive for and even though you will find a few that are worth your time and money as you progress, there are plenty of them that you will find early on, as outlined in your World of Warcraft gold guide of choice, that will make you the real coin. The goal should be to maximize your mining skill as early as possible. If you have some extra gold, you can even smelt your way up to about skill level 150 or so on about 25 gold in investment.

If you are new to the game, this is probably not an option, so you will just want to find your nodes.

Where to Mine

Most World of Warcraft gold guides with a section on professions will give you quite a bit of information on how to strike it rich with mining. If you are lucky, your World of Warcraft gold guide will have a series of maps that show you where to go in a specific zone for nodes. Another good resource is cartographer which will save your nodes to a map as you find them, making it possible to always know where to look when you go back. Because node spawns are timed and randomized to a few preset locations, knowing a good route to follow as you wait for them to respawn is vital. As for where to look for ore, the lower levels are often best spent in Stranglethorn Vale, followed by Burning Steppes and Un'Goro Crater and in Outland in Nagrand and later Netherstorm.

Striking it Rich

Ultimately, making it big time with your mining skill is a matter of having a World of Warcraft gold guide that shows you where to go and when, and having a basic understanding of the game's mining economy. You can make as much as 100 gold from mining before you reach level 30 if you play it correctly and when you reach Level 70, the profession can net you up to 200 gold an hour in some places, not too shabby at all.

I hoped this article has helped you achieved more gold in you game. In World of Wacraft, for me, the real game only begins when you have reached the maximum cap level which is currently at 80 for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. That is why I would want to level really quickly to get to that stage. In this article, I will discuss the 5 tips on how you can level really fast.

Tip 1 - Kill mobs slightly higher level than you

This tip is to be used with caution because certain mobs are much stronger than other mobs of their level. Generally, I never had a problem with killing mobs that are of 2 levels higher than me. This will give you more experience and thus level up faster.

Tip 2 - Have lots of food and water.

This is really important as you do not want to have much rest time to recuperate your health and mana. Whenever I want to level really quickly, I make sure I have massive supply of food and water. That way I will immediately take my food and water and quickly move on to the next mob.

Tip 3 - Have lots of potions

This has come in very helpful for me, especially if you are an alchemist, you can keep making these potions to help in your leveling. Drink all sorts of potions and you will see a decrease in timing for your leveling.

Tip 4 - Scrolls

This is similar to tip 3. If you are not an alchemist, you can use this in place of potions. There are many type of scrolls and most last 60 minutes. So remember to use them if you have them in your inventory. It can really help decrease your leveling time.

Tip 5 - Buffs

Have as many buffs as you can on you while you are leveling. This way you will find that you can kill a mob much faster and also outlast mobs and attack more mobs at the same time for maximum experience! If you're not sure where to get buffs from, you can just ask your friendly guild mates or anybody that comes along and is able to buff you. They will be more than willing to buff you. Remember, the more buffs you have, the faster you will be able to level.
