Mining Guide

Welcome to Mining

The Best Little Ore House in Azeroth

You smelt 16 stacks of copper and tin

If you want to level mining, that’s all you need to begin.

Smelt a few more stacks and your level will zoom

All the way to 340 and never leave Silvermoon!

By following our simple smelting plan, you too, can level all the way to 340 without even seeing a mine. With only a couple of forays out into the wild, you can even level all the way to 525!

Thanks to generous guildie donations, we provide the ore for you to smelt, all we ask is that you give back the bars which are recycled to the other bar-using crafts such as jewel crafting, engineering and blacksmithing.

If you have any questions, please feel free message me in game, and I will do my best to help you ASAP!
