Horde Mining Guide

Please Note: This is a 1 - 300, Wow Horde Mining Guide for Horde. If you are after a 1-80 Horde Leveling Guide, then the best one which I suggest to check out is Dugi's Ultimate Horde Guide.

Or If you are looking for a Horde Gold Guide, then I suggest you check out: WoW Gold Secrets.  Now before we begin with the Horde Mining Guide you will need to complete the following 2 Steps.:

Step One: Horde Mining Skill. You can obtain this easily by visiting your local mining trainer and get trained up in the basic Mining Skill.

Here is where you can find Horde Mining Trainers & their specific locations:

Brom Killian: Undercity, South of the bridge heading to the War Quarter.

Brek Stonehoof: Thunder Bluff, Western most edge of the center plateau.

Makaru (Orgrimmar): The Center of Valley of Hono

Step Two: A Pick Tool - It is also worth while noting that mining picks can be enchanted, although this will make no difference to your mining levelling. If the pick is enchanted it will simply glow glow. A bit meaningless but a cool eye candy feature which some people may like.

Step Three: Mining Gloves: Go grab yourself the cheapest gloves that you can get and make sure you have them enchanted with the +5 mining skill. It shouldn't cost you any more than 2g. The gloves aren't essential for mining but are strongly recommended - this will help you up your mining level faster.

*Please note - The +5 mining skill will not perk up your chances of getting a Crystal, however it will give you less chances of failing attempts.

*For the Horde Engineers please take note that if you build a Goblin Mining helmet for yourself this will give you an extra +5 Mining Skill.

Horde Mining Routes

Troll and Orc: The easiest method of mining is simply to complete the entire circuits of Durotar. Although copper is found almost everywhere so you may find it more fun to start at Razor Hill and continue West from there making your way towards Quilboar Grounds. You will want to hug the cliffs until you get to the river, then start to move towards Orgrimmar (north from the River). Afrer you reach Orgrimmar you need to head East until you see the farmstead. From there, go south and go down into the canyon. Now you will want to follow the canyon out and start to head towards the southeast, until you come across Razor Hill once again. After this trip you should have yourself a nice batch of copper ore - I would expect you to have at least 30 copper.

The Undead: Start at the entrance of Death Knell - head south as you follow the cliffs around past the Under city and then head up to the bulwark. Next head north up towards the Scarlet monastery - hug the cliffs as you go along. Then move West and when you reach the coast change direction and head to the south and follow the cliffs along until you get to Agamand Mills. After you reach Agamand Mills follow the hills to the south and make your way back to the entrance of Death knell. You should have at least 35 copper ore from this run.

Tauren: Mulgore - All you need to do is choose any start point and follow the cliffs then entire distance around. Don't skip Venture Co Mine - you will find a lot of copper in there. You should expect get roughly 45 copper ore on this run.
