Best Metallurgy Talent Build Guide for Mining in Dragonflight

The Metallurgy tree allows you to specialize in mining and refining the various ore types efficiently. All three nodes are viable and strong in their own right, and we would recommend you to pick based on your auction house prices for each refined ore or side-professions, such as Jewelcrafting, which could benefit from Serevite's 40-pointer free gems when refining Serevite Ore.
