Copper Ore is the very first ore you will run into while mining.  It comes from Copper Veins and is found in mostly in lower level areas and starting zones.  You can get copper veins in just about any starting area, but the two spots I want to focus on are The Barrens and Elwynn Forest.

In my opinion if you are getting Copper Ore to level up your skill you are better off just buying the ore and smelting it for the first levels. If you don’t have the gold to do this take a look at this Gold Course which teaches even the lowest level players how to make a lot of gold.

If you’re a gnome or dwarf you can take the tram from Ironforge to Stormwind to do this route, humans will already be there.  For The Barrens Trolls, Orc, Tauren, all start in areas that border the barrens.  Blood Elves and Undead can use Eversong Woods, there’s a teleportation crystal near the outside of the city for the Undead to use that brings them to Silvermoon City.  Night Elves and Draenei will use Azuremyst Isle.  If you’re a Night Elf, there’s a boat you can get on from Darnassus that brings you to Darkshore, from there go to the furthest point of the dock and take the boat to Azuremyst Isle.

Feel free to use any of the areas you want, you don’t have to go where it says above, that’s just for ease of use. (continue reading…)

Cobalt Ore is the entry level ore that is mined in Wrath of the Lich King.  It requires 350 skill to mine normal Cobalt Deposits and 375 to mine Rich Cobalt Deposits.  It can be found in the entry level zones of Northrend, such as, Grizzly Hills, Zul’Drak, Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, and Dragonblight.

If you are looking for ways to make more gold take a look at this Gold Course.

The best place to farm Cobalt is probably in Zul’Drak if you have a flying mount but all the zones work fine, it’s really a preference on which cobalt routes you like the best and how crowded the zones are on your server.

Rich Cobalt Nodes will primarily spawn in the higher level zones like Zul’Drak just so you are aware.  The lower level the zone the less Rich Cobalt Nodes you will see. (continue reading…)

In the next few weeks I’ll be posting up all of the WoW Mining Maps you can think of starting with Titanium Ore, Saronite Ore, and Cobalt Ore and working my way down to the other Ores.  

When I’m finished this site should server as the most up to date and accurate WoW mining guide reference in the World!!
