Re: Best Money Making Profession for Wotlk? So far I've made about 1k gold selling fish in the last 3 days, and before coming to work, i put about another 1k worth of fish. Been selling a stack of Glacial Salmon for 110g a stack, Musselback Sculpin for 100g per stack, Moonglow Cuttlefish for 200g per stack,and Imperial Manta Ray for 80g per stack.

Comment by riinukaIf you're a Druid, and level 80 (and don't want to level yet), doing the quest for Vashj'ir that gets you into the starting ship for your zone and the one after (that awards the Sea Legs buff) gives you 450% speed on your Seal Form immediately.Combine that with relatively low competition in the western half of the Abyssal Depths, and you have a nice place for some Obsidian farming.I ended up doing this for a while since my Druid is neglected, and doesn't have 280% flying - I hate flying around at reg flight speeds.
Comment by StargazerMore data. Have been curious about just how much XP is granted for different things AND because I am bored and farmed Deepholme for a bit.Toon level 83Mining skill 525Fully rested.Obsidium is Gray for Mining skill.Obsidium Vein - 6050 XP per node.Rich Obsidium Vein - 9680 XP per node.Elementium is Yellow for Mining skill.Elementium Vein - 9680 XP per node.Rich Elementium Vein - 9680 XP per node.About 1 hour flying around Deepholme. 60 Elementium Ore, 113 Obsidium Ore, a few volatiles. 448k XP gained (5.2 Million XP to level) A little less than 10% of a level in 1 hour. Roughly 11 hours to make level 84. It would be quite a bit slower to use Mining to level all the way, but not super, painfully, incredibly slow.Level 85 requires 9 Million XP. That could be a bit on the boring side I suppose.
Comment by JouiiI'm a 47 (now) Worg Rogue, & just spent an hour (57 min and a few seconds, actually) mining Thousand Needles, starting from the north end (Feralas) and going a north to south, slightly east, then south to north (and repeat) pattern. Then going completely around the edge of the Shimmering Deep from the nw in a counter-clockwise path, finishing it where I started on the SD.This is what I yielded:207 - Mithril Ore73 - Iron Ore18 - Gold11 - Truesilver Ore4 - Silver6 - Aquamarine3 - CitrineNot bad for a little less than an hours work. And that is with a 85 NE Druid, a 53 Orc-lock, and a 44 Dranie Shaman mining also.
I'm guessing its a pretty good area to mine most of the time. Has anyone had similar/better results? Comment by lunayahAh mining, the profession that can land you a lot of gold with time and patience. Once you mine any necessary ore to increase your skill and go train it some more and after you level up any second profession you might have, sell your leftover ore/bars on the auction house, you'd be surprised at the prices even the most common and easy to get ore can sell for. I once sold a couple copper ore for 30 gold each! People sometimes choose two professions that are completely unrelated and buy all the necessary mats on the AH(auction house). Keep an eye on the prices for ore/bars on the AH while you're at it since you wouldn't want to auction three silver bars for lets say 80 gold when the other silver bars are posted for 50 gold.
I'm not sure about the other two gathering professions since I've only auctioned ore and bars on my tauren dk and my alts all have different professions. Anyhow, feel free to tell me how you feel about my post and if you're going to downrate me, please leave a comment that explains why you don't like it or didn't find it helpful. One more thing, I didn't expect this comment to be so long. Here's an update (sorry I don't know how to make them links).
525Now with added and linked for your pleasure;). Comment by UnknownsubjectIm having a problem leveling mining from 340 to 350. I have read the entry by Eversoris, but no one has offered any useful solution - certainly not Kaipatu. Maybe if people like Kaipatu would put some effort into knowing what they're talking about rather than making condescending remarks insinuating others arent playing the game correctly, we may have an answer to some of our questions. For everyone's info, when smelting Fel Iron goes gray at 340, so does the ability to gain levels mining it.
The next possible ore to mine is Adamantite and you have to be level 350 to mine it. So 'going out into the world to mine' rather than being lazy as was suggested doesnt seem to be an option. My toon is too high a level to get into the raid and try to get the book to learn smelt Enchanted Elementium. The glove enhancement only would give me a level of 345.
Anyway, please help me and maybe a b;uch of others. Comment by DragonbroAs an old miner from way back where you had to climb almost impossible (sometimes impossibe w/o a flying mount) mountain heights to get to the sparkling node, has anyone noticed the nodes no longer sparkle? Is it just me or my addons or what? Its harder to pick up now since they don't sparkle.
Also, before, I would be notified of an ore node in my minimap and could swoop down and tap it. Now I get a lot of false positives with hardly any nodes to mine.Presently I'm in Zangarmarsh at 292 with another toon but no sparkling nodes and a lot of false positives. Is this due to the MoP expansion? I really miss the sparkling ore nodes. If anyone can let me know what I'm missing to get my nodes to sparkle again and to just have a node notification to mine rather than the false positives it certainly would be appreciated.
Thanks!I do have a DK 90 level at a 600 Zen Master level but most of that, up to I believe 525, was in Cata where the nodes sparkled. Maybe its an addon I need or an adjustment but open to all suggestions. Again thanks! Comment by Stargazer777If you get stuck trying to level your mining, don't forget the profession quest at the!
The one for mining is, picked up from (the guy at the shooting gallery, 49.6, 60.6). You pick up 6 pieces of tonk scrap. Turning in this quest will get you 250 rep with the Darkmoon Faire, and +5 points in mining skill. Plus a bit of gold, game tokens and prize tickets. You can do this quest once per Faire. Also, there are items/enchants that will increase your mining ability by a few extra skill points to get you to a higher level so you can train up:, (this doesn't stack with other items),. There are probably others I don't know about.
Comment by YogilawGripe time.be warned. Don't like doing this, but some things about WoW really get my goat (yes, I know, I need to get out more).It seems to be becoming a common trait amongst players that when they hit lvl90, they decide to take on 2 primary professions, I hasten to add not CHANGES of profession. For the purposes of this article; Mining & Blacksmith. If you want to learn how to do these things & benefit your character why not start when you're setting out on your journey through Azeroth?
No, instead you raid averse lot want to find escape from the tedium of TI & IoT dailies by blitzing your way around all known kingdoms gobbling up resources that genuine levellers are in need of. On top of that you also dispatch any & all mobs (again needed by afore mentioned players) in your quest to build gear that you probably will never need.This is not how the profession system is supposed to be used. OK, if you want to change to learn a new 1 then fine, no problem. If you're that bored grinding out the same old quests day after day then try some dungeons or raids, & no I don't mean running lvl60-70 instances as a solo (like the guy I know who at ilvl551 ran Hellfire Citadel).
That's just sad.This seems to be part of an endemic quality surfacing now within the game whereby players want 'immediate' success & reward, rather than having to work a bit for it. Attitudes to the RNG system are getting more whiny because they hit a Boss but didn't get the drop they wanted.OK, that's it.
So don't wait until you're 'super-level' before learning a profession. You will enjoy it a lot more & it means you don't have to spend hours flying around loads of regions looking for the next rock you need to smelt!
Comment by VelendndraWhat I have seen about the Auction House on my server for horde:Based on my selling profits, my priorities are:ThoriumMithrilCopperIronTruesilverEct.These ones are based on my average selling price compared to the time it takes to mine. As a note: Thorium is a popular ore to mine already. If you come on when there is not many people, go straight for thorium. Rich Thorium Veins are worth stopping for. Sometimes, the small ones are not. To mine Rich Thorium Veins, you need a higher mining level than Small Thorium Veins. Winterspring is my preferred location for mining Thorium.My Mithril hunts usually lead to Eastern Plaguelands.
Here you want to go around the border of the top half of Eastern Plaguelands for maximum results. I find going counter clockwise from the EastWall Tower and returning when reaching the lake for another cycle. Truesilver is a good source in here and in Winterspring too.My copper is usually all over Eversong Woods. I have no tips for that, because of the large variaty of area of copper. I do the Western half starting at the scar.Iron is tricky.
While it goes for quite a bit, the time is what kills it. Feralas and Desolace have a high content, but my opinion of the layout is they are hard to follow. I enjoy doing it in a counterclockwise around the peremiter of the middle and bottom half of Western Plaguelands.Feel free to add any that you feel might sell for a profit, and give a direction. Comment by FrostKittyPawAs patch 8.0.1 (8/3/18), currently it is not possible to get 300/300 classic mining by mining nodes alone. Mining gives up to 290 skill, while gives up to 295 skill. You can level mining from 295 to 300 only through, which is learned from the quest:. If you already completed the quest and need to relearn how to smelt, talk to in.300 mining is required to learn how to from, since Wrath of the Lich King.
Prior to Wrath, the recipe could be learned by mind controlling in and casting the teach smelting ability on any player in the instance. The spell was learnable with or without mining, and could be crafted starting at 1 skill point once the player learned mining. These legendary bars are required for the well-known.It took a little bit of research to figure this out. I originally thought that was bugged in 8.0.1 until a GM informed me that my classic mining was only 295/300.

Mining is one of the many valuable gathering professions, capable of harvesting minerals from nodes located around the world. A miner must raise his skill by gathering different qualities of minerals, and can smelt the ore into bars which are commonly used. Rris sold by Trade Supply vendors.
