Before getting started with mining, you’re going to need:

1) Mining Skill. You get this by going to your local mining trainer to get trained.

Here are the mining trainers and their locations:

Gelman Stonehand: Stormwind, on the western end of Dwarven District (Alliance Trainer)
Kurdram Stonehammer: Darkshore, north Auberdine area. (Alliance Trainer)
Matt Johnson: Duskwood, in the north section of Darkshire. (Alliance Trainer)
Brock Stoneseeker: Loch Modan, Southwest part of Thelsamar. (Alliance Trainer)
Brom Killian: Undercity, South of the bridge leading to the War Quarter. (Horde Trainer)
Geofram Bouldertoe: Deepmountain Mining Guild in Ironforge. (Alliance Trainer)
Makaru: Orgrimmar, center of the valley of honor. (Horde Trainer)
Brek Stonehoof: Thunder Bluff, Western edge of the center plateau. (Horde Trainer)
Yarr Hammerstone: Dun Morogh, eastern edge of Kharanos. (Alliance Trainer)
Dank Drizzlecut: Dun Morogh, north of Gol’bolbar Quarry. (Alliance Trainer)

2) A mining Pick. It’s also useful for you to note that these can also be enchanted, although it makes no difference other than you get to see a glow when you equip it like a normal weapon. Seems pointless to me but some people like this as a cool feature.

3) Optional but recommended – Gloves: Get the lowest cost gloves you can locate and get them enchanted with +5 mining skill, it won’t cost more than 2g.

For those who have asked, the +5 mining won’t improve your chances of getting a crystal but it will increase the odds that you WON’T have a failed attempt.

Engineers Note: If you make yourself a Goblin Mining helmet this will add +5 to your mining skill.

Wow Mining Guide – Copper mining

I suggest that you mine approximately 50  copper then smelt. Copper is so abundant, so you can use any of the following mining routs or invent your own:

Mining Locations:

* Alterac Mountains
* Ashenvale
* Darkshore
* Desolace
* Dun Morogh
* Durotar
* Duskwood
* Elwynn Forest
* Hillsbrad Foothills
* Loch Modan
* Mulgore
* Redridge Mountains
* Silverpine Forest
* Stonetalon Mountains
* The Barrens
* Thousand Needles, Tirisfal Glades, Westfall, and Wetlands

Horde

- Tauren: Mulgore: Simply choose any starting point and follow the cliffs all the way around. Don’t forget to check out the Venture Co mine. You should get about 40-50 copper on this run.

- Orc and Troll: An easy method is to just complete whole circuits of Durotar. However there is so much copper around that you might find it more fun to start at Razor Hill and move west towards the Quilboar grounds, hugging the clif face until you reacht he river and then move up north till you reach Orgrimmar. Next move east till you see a small farmstead, then head south and drop into the canyon. If you follow the canyon out and head south east, you’ll reach razor hill again. By the end of this you’ll have about 25-30 copper ores.

- Undead: Beginning at the entrance of DeathKnell, head south and follow the cliffs all the way round, past the Undercity, up to the bulwark. Now head up north to Scarlet monastery, hugging the cliffs as you go. Move west when you reach the coast, then move south to follow the cliffs down to Agamand Mills. After that follow those hills south again back to the entrace of Deathknell. You should get about 30-40 copper ore from this run.

Alliance

- Night elves: Darnassus has no ores at all, so you must go to Darkshore. Start at Auberdine and the go east till you reach the cliffs at the top of the map. Now move southwards, hug the cliff face as move. Upon arriving at the entrance of Ashenvale, move west to the coast then north back to Auberdine. Now go east, just like before, except this time when you arrive at the cliffs, head northwards, following the clifts round the coast heading south again to Auberdine. This is a figure 8 pattern and you’ll find it easir than taking Auberdine in one whole route. you’ll get about 40-50 copper ores from this.

Dwarves and Gnomes: Copper is everywhere, so you really don’t need a route here.

Human: Beginning at Goldshire and heading east to the north of Crystal Lake, when you  arrive at th north of the logging camp, go south. Follow the river to the border of Duskwood and Elwyn forest, then move north west and return to goldshire. If you visit at least 2 mines on this trek, you’ll get about 30-40 copper ores.

I’ve set up this wow fishing guide to teach you how to level up as quickly as possible, hence I’ve left out what you don’t need to know that is a waste of time.

Seeing as I’m going to be teaching you how to fish in this Wow Fishing Guide, I’ve decided to also cover cooking as well as they complement each other well and you can use your time to skill up on both at the same time.

It should take you about 15 hours to complete the following guide (perhaps 11 if you are really fast!)

What causes your skill rate to change?

Your skill rate goes up based on the number of successful catches that you make.

Here is the approximate equation:

(current unmodified fishing level – 25) / 25 = # of fish needed to level, assuming a minimum of  fish per catch.

You should also be aware that it does not matter where you fish, your skill rate only changes due to the number of successful catches that you make.

Before reading on, I wanted to let you know:

The Death Knight class is probably the second most versatile character class in the World of Warcraft. You will correct me if I am wrong by my statement though. However, with its versatility, comes a variety of different skills that makes the Death Knight a formidable DPS character or a hard-as-rock tanking character.

Killer Guide’s Death Knight Guide is the latest UNOFFICIAL World of Warcraft Death Knight guide in the Killer Guide’s arsenal. With Blizzard’s announcement that the Death Knight will be a more challenging character class, Killer Guide’s Death Knight Guide makes sure that you do Death Knights right.

Killer Guide’s Death Knight Guide answers the questions like:

-    How do you tank for DKs?
-    How do you reach maximum DPS in instances?
-    What should be the ability rotations?
-    What gear is good for various roles?
-    What talents should I focus on?
-    How do you PVP with a DK?

Although some guides are dedicated to professions, farming and gold earning, Killer Guide’s Death Knight Guide is a full-on 128 page guide dedicated to Death Knights! This new WOTLK guide is updated with the latest level cap as well as the new patches.

Killer Guide’s Death Knight Guide also offers you the knowledge of which modifier and stat to focus on to fulfill each need – whether it’s DPS, tanking or PVP. Don’t just stick with the guides that help you find good gears. Killer Guide’s Death Knight Guide goes beyond that! It also contains enchants, gems, glyphs and consumables to really MAXIMIZE your Death Knight’s effectiveness and lethality. NICE!

Grab a copy now and be one of the most feared Death Knights in the whole of Azeroth.
