The leveling of mining in addition to the World of Warcraft under the name Warlords of Draenor has not been radically changed, but the value of this profession has fallen significantly. Even so, many players choose it for themselves in order to get the remaining benefits. About it and pumping routes to different locations will be discussed in the article.
Pros and cons
Pumping mining in the aforementioned addition may bring some benefit to the character. First of all, this concerns the acquisition of experience, which the developers added back in Cataclysm. As an additional motivation, the fact of mining a huge amount of ores can serve.
The main disadvantage of this type of labor is the presence of mines in the garrison. There, the player can get resources even without this skill, which significantly hit the value of all materials.
In Warlords of Draenor, this profession is more needed as a transitional stage to the Legion, where everything has returned to its place. Garrisons ceased to exist, and ore mining returned to the miners' hands again.
First steps
For the initial leveling of mining, the character will have to run through the starting locations of 10-20 levels. Here, the profession can be put at 66 of the required 700 points. For the Horde in Durotar, the route will go along the edge of the eastern part, then through the center beyond the gorge, then along the northern outskirts with a shift to the swamps.
Also, do not forget about the cave to the right of Orgrimmar. In Azshar and Mulgore it will be much easier to continue, because you just need to move along the edge of the territory. Players from the Alliance faction in Elvinsky Forest need to run around locations along the border, with a diagonal shift near the lake.
There are also two caves in the west and south, which are worth a look. On the Cote d'Azur Island and the Darkshore, the route lies along the contour, but without approaching the mountains and the water surface.
In the first case, the characters of the Draenei race need to look into the caves on their way. Dwarves and Dwarves at Dun Morogh in Warlords of Draenor, like other additions, just have to go along the ridge.
Further movement
Depending on the race and faction, players will be engaged in pumping mining in different locations. The separation was already visible from the number of starting areas and continues with the farming of tin and silver ore to achieve 125 points. You can do this in the Hillsbrad Foothills. The route will run around the Ruins of Alterac and the ravines near it.
The area indicated on the map by snowy mountain ranges is the most significant in the search. There is a single road from the east.
An alternative location to achieve 125 skill points is Ashenvale. Many characters will go there in the course of increasing the level, and therefore the farm there also has a place to be. The route will run along a contour with a vertical shift along the western side of the lake in this territory. In the eastern part of the location, the route will go to the Forest Song of the Forest, as well as the Split Tree Outpost, and return further closer to the edge.
Different territories on classical continents
All professions in VoV have their own characteristics when pumping, in the case of mining this is a large number of trips to different territories. To reach the level with a score of 230 points, you will have to farm iron, gold, mithril and ore of true silver.
The first two species can be found on Cape of Stranglethorn and in the Western Plaguelands. In the second location, the route will run along the contour in the central part, around the lake and without going into narrow passages, as well as paths to other edges.
In Stranglethorn, the player simply needs to run in the west and in the center without entering the Pirate Bay. With true silver ore and mithril, the situation is much simpler. The Badlands and the Desecrated Forest must be traveled along the edge, closer to the mountain ranges, in order to obtain the desired 230 points in pumping mining.
To be able to go to Outland, the player needs 275. For this, the easiest way is to go to Silithus or the Scorched Lands, the route is strictly along the contour.
Outland and Northrend
To reach the level of 325 points on the guide for pumping mining, the user should go to the Hellfire Peninsula. The route, as in most cases, lies around the mountain ranges, and in the southwestern part there is a useful cave.
After the Fel Iron Ore, fly to Nagrand. There are five caves here: one in the center, the other in the west, still in the corner in the northwest, and the latter not far from the arena. They can easily achieve a result of 350 points, after which the path lies in the snowy Northrend.
In the location of the Howling Fjord, you have to accumulate cobalt ore up to 400 points. The route on flying transport runs along the contour, as well as through the center, past the lake, Utgarde Fortress and to the cave near Gyalerbron.
Saronite ore is best collected in the Sholazar Basin, where you can fly in circles throughout the location, and you will constantly stumble on the right places. This method achieves level 450 for pumping mining in VoV.
Cataclysm and Pandaria locations
To search for obsidium ore, you will have to return to the classical continents, namely to the Hyjal location. Here the mining route is linear, and it is better to start it near the sanctuary of Aviana.
Further the path lies to Nordrassil, past the Circle of Fire and the Essina Grove. Behind the lake there is a turn and a direct path to the Outpost, and from there along the southern edge of the volcanic territory and along the contour to the Circle of the Ancestors.
To extract elementium ore will have to go to the Underdark. The location should be circled in circles at different intervals straight to the center, the veins are scattered throughout the territory with the exception of the Terazan Throne. In Pandaria, the collection of resources begins after the availability of 525 points.
Ghost Iron Ore will provide the 600 points needed to transfer to Draenor. Among all the professions in VoV, mining in Pandaria is the easiest to pump. It is enough to go to the Valley of the Four Winds and fly around the elevations between the Pao Quan Hollow and the Fertile Lands.
The last stage and addons
In Draenor, mining is completed from 1 to 700 points. This can be done in the southwest of the Frostfire Range for characters from the Horde faction. Players of the Alliance will find it easier to fly around the central part of the Shadowmoon Valley.
This can be considered a long way over, but there is a way to greatly simplify the search. The Gatherer addon will help in this first of all. This small utility notes the locations of the cores, as well as the places for collecting herbs. It will be enough for the player once to fly the route indicated above for each location, and then navigate already by the marks.
The second useful add-on to collect will be Bagnon, which will help tidy things in bags. When a player begins to engage in mining, he will accumulate a huge amount of all kinds of materials. Organize them and get information will help this addon.
It is also worth noting that many of these territories in the article have an alternative, here is only the most optimal option for most users.
