World of Warcraft: Forever Mining Leveling Guide

From Razor Hill, follow the rocky ground east of the road as you head north toward Orgrimmar. Turn west below the city gates, then work south along the hills toward the road to the Barrens. Finish at Razor Hill to smelt your ore.

Head west from Bloodhoof Village to the cave south of Bael'dun Digsite. Work through the cave, then check the foot of the western hills on your way back. If another miner is already in the cave, stick to the hills. The digsite has a forge, but the dwarves guarding it are hostile.

Start at Brill and head northwest toward Agamand Mills. Follow the hills south toward Deathknell, then turn back toward Brill to smelt. If that side is busy, head east of Brightwater Lake and work the hills below Scarlet Monastery instead.

Leave Shen'dar Village to the southwest and follow the rocky ground toward Falaath Village. Check the slopes on its southern side, then retrace your path to the forge in Shen'dar Village. You can cover this stretch on foot without circling the whole island.

Head southwest from Goldshire. At the fork, you can take a short detour west toward Forest's Edge for a few extra veins. Follow the main route south and enter Fargodeep Mine. Mine the copper in the tunnels, then leave through the same entrance.

From the mine, follow the low hills east with the river on your right. At the eastern end of the loop, turn west and mine the northern side of the hills on your way back to Goldshire. Smelt your Copper Ore at the forge between laps.

The solid line shows the copper route. The dashed line marks the optional detour.

Head west from Kharanos toward Brewnall Village. Work the rocky banks around Iceflow Lake and check both sides of the lake before returning to the forge in Kharanos. The outdoor circuit lets you skip the cave if the mobs slow you down.

In Teldrassil, Chunk of Amber and Large Chunk of Amber nodes yield Copper Ore. Start at Dolanaar and head north to Fel Rock. If another miner is working that cave, try Ban'ethil Barrow Den west of Dolanaar. Use the forge on the Warrior's Terrace in Darnassus to smelt your ore.

Leave Shen'dar Village to the southwest and follow the rocky ground toward Falaath Village. Check the slopes on its southern side, then retrace your path to the forge in Shen'dar Village. You can cover this stretch on foot without circling the whole island.

Follow the road south past Ambermill. Before the Hillsbrad border, turn east into Beren's Peril and work the cave there. The mobs are around level 21 to 22. If clearing them takes most of your time, use the outdoor Hillsbrad route instead.

From Tarren Mill, cross the river toward Durnholde Keep. Work the rocky ground along the east bank, then turn back toward Tarren Mill to repeat the circuit. Stay outside the keep. This is a good Horde route if you’d rather keep moving than compete for a cave.

Travel south from Camp Taurajo on the Gold Road. When you reach the hills north of Razorfen Kraul and Razorfen Downs, work the slopes on one side of the road and return along the other. The veins are outside both dungeon entrances.

Start near Maestra's Post in northwestern Ashenvale. Follow the road north toward Darkshore, then double back along the rocky slopes east of the road. On your next pass, check the hills west of the post toward Zoram Strand. Give the Alliance guards at Maestra's Post room.

Follow the road north past Mirkfallon Lake and work the slopes around Stonetalon Peak. Check the opposite side of the road on the way back. If you find an Iron Deposit here before 125, pass it and keep looking for tin. Stay outside the Alliance settlement at the peak.

Find Thelgen Rock at the foot of the hills just north of Dun Algaz. Enter the excavation and check its branching tunnels for Tin Veins. The cave also contains Incendicite Mineral Veins. If the mobs are too high for your character, Gold Coast Quarry in Westfall is an easier alternative.

Head west from Sentinel Hill to Gold Coast Quarry near the coast. Check the exposed rock on your way down, mine through the tunnels, then sweep the outside of the quarry again. The outdoor veins give you somewhere to go when someone else is clearing the mine.

Stay on the canyon floor below Freewind Post. Work west toward Darkcloud Pinnacle, then follow the opposite canyon wall back east. Turn around at the entrance to the Shimmering Flats. The iron is along the walls, so there’s little reason to cross the salt flats.

Follow the hills between Boulderfist Hall and Witherbark Village, then turn north toward Drywhisker Gorge. From there, work west along the northern ridge toward Northfold Manor. Check the caves along your path if you can clear them quickly. You can join the northern leg from Hammerfall.

Ghost Walker Post puts you right beside the Kodo Graveyard. Use the Kodo Graveyard as the middle of your circuit. Work the hills on the Valley of Spears side, turn south toward Mannoroc Coven, then return north along the rocky ground outside Magram Village. Follow the ridges between camps to pick up iron and gold.

From Revantusk Village, follow the path up from the coast toward Shaol'watha. Head west past the Altar of Zul, then turn north to reach the hills south of Quel'Danil Lodge. Follow the ridge east toward Skulk Rock and return south to Shaol'watha. Leave Seradane and its elite dragonkin out of the loop.

From Gadgetzan, head west toward Sandsorrow Watch and the hills outside Zul'Farrak. Follow the western mountains south to Thistleshrub Valley. Turn east along the rim of the Gaping Chasm, then head north past Broken Pillar to get back to Gadgetzan. You can mine this entire loop on the surface.

From below Marshal's Refuge, follow the northern crater wall east toward Fungal Rock. You can enter the cave for extra Small Thorium Veins or stay outside and follow the wall south. Turn west before the river and check the rocky ground among the tar pits, then head north around the smaller lake to return to the crater wall.

Head north from Bloodvenom Falls along the road, then stay near the northern hills as you approach Felpaw Village. Turn back along the edge of Irontree Woods and check the rocky ground in Shatter Scar Vale on the way south. If you can clear the mobs quickly, take the short detour into Irontree Cavern for another chance at thorium.
