Silver & Gold...
Miners pound away in dark places, steep mountains, craggy ravines, and other spaces of immeasurable danger in search of the raw materials that they can use or sell. Long aquainted with the Blacksmithing trade as well as engineering and jewelcrafting, there is a steep market for the wares that come out of these little rocks...
Profession: Mining
Hi-Ho! Hi-Ho! It's Off To Mine I go!
Mining 101
Between A Rock And Hard Space
Mining is a very important profession in the game as it's materials feed three other major crafting professions: Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, and Engineering. Beyond the obvious market this brings about, mining can be fun, dangerous, and tedious.
Usually it's a combination of all three.
Mining is also a gathering profession meaning that there is no real crafting going on, though you can smelt ore into bricks for easier selling to crafters.

Easy Stuff If You Know Where To Go
Because of how many professions this feeds, it's easy to see that mining and ore is a bull market and fluctuates appropriately to the supply and demand. It's well worth knowing what sells though in order to get the most out of it.
Best Sellers:
» Ore
» Bars
» Stone
The auction house is a great place to start getting to know the prices for metals on your server.

Prices for all these bits vary from time to time and server to server. Sometimes the raw ore sells for a LOT more than the bars, sometimes the bars go for more, so keep a contant eye on AH prices. Get your mining as high as you can as soon as you can, so you can get the iron, silver, amd mithril nodes in the lower level zones. Posted February 05, 2008 |
