Best Mining Process Talent Build Guide for Mining in Dragonflight

The Mining Process tree enables you to mine while mounted and improves your mining yield in various ways. You can get more ore of the type you are mining with Sorting, rarer types of ore with Surveying, or Jewelcrafting gems directly from mining with Industrialization.

1. 10 points into Mining Process for pathing;
2. Learn Surveying (no knowledge point investment required) to increase rare drops from ore;
3. 10 points into Mining Process for further pathing;
4. Learn Sorting (no knowledge point investment required) for more ore when mining;
5. 10 points into Mining Process for further pathing;
6. Learn Industrialization (no knowledge point investment required) for quicker mining;
7. 5 points into Mining Process to enable mining while mounted;
8. 30 points into Surveying to unlock rare Illimited Diamond drops from rich ore deposits;
9. 30 points into Sorting for a significant increase in ore yield from mining;
10. 30 points into Industrialization to occasionally receive gems when mining.

With this build you will be rushing mounted mining which is a huge quality of life and efficiency increase. As the name suggests, Surveying will be the main secondary focus, as well as the rare ores and Illimited Diamonds it helps farm.
