Saronite Ore is one of the most common ores you’ll farm in Wrath of the Lich King, mainly because people mine it while trying to find Titanium. However, Blizzard has been and is currently implementing more uses for Saronite. Saronite can be converted into Titanium now, etc, so it’s still a fairly high demand ore even though it’s mined in mass quantity everyday.

I’ll admit it can be hard to farm for even Saronite at times (Titanium is even worse ) because of all the players trying to farm it and sell it on the Auction House for a profit. If you are simply mining for gold I suggest you take a look at this Gold Course as it might be of great help to you.

You must be 400 to mine Saronite Deposit and 425 skill to mine Rich Saronite Deposit. The two zones that I’ve chosen are Sholazar Basin and Icecrown. (continue reading…)

Iron Ore is a great Ore to mine because you can sell it in the Auction House for a lot of gold.  I’ve seen some people have some pretty good market dominance with Iron Ore on a few of the servers I’ve been on making it sell for as much as 30 gold a stack, more than Saronite typically does. If you are mining for gold you might have surprisingly good success with mining for Iron. If you feel like you need more tips or tricks on how to make more gold take a look at this Gold Guide. Iron Ore requires a mining skill level of 125.

For the Iron Ore routes I’ve choosen two, Desolace and Arathi Highlands.

Iron Ore in Arathi Highlands

There are 4 caves marked with V’s that you will want to really focus on while mining Iron in Arathi.  If you’re around the level of the mobs in the zone you could just grind in some of the caves, the one in the South eastern part of the zone is pretty big. (continue reading…)

Tin Ore is the next list you’ll be exposed to and may even be exposed to some Tin Veins while mining Copper. You must be mining skill level 65 in order to mine Tin. As I know it can be quite frustrating mining for gold at times I thought you may be interested in this Gold Course which shows you how to maximize your gold profits.

There are quite a few zones to get Tin so I’m going to focus on two of the best. You can call one for horde and one for alliance if you want, but what I really did is made one per continent in case you are unable to freely travel or don’t feel like it. The two zones I choose for mining Tin are Hillsbrad Foothills and The Barrens. The Barrens will be great for everyone who was mining copper in The Barrens you probably also mined Tin while there when your skill was high enough.

Tin Ore in The Barrens

This map is incredibly similar to the copper route for The Barrens.  The main focus for this however, should be in the higher level mobbed areas, especially in the south where the mobs reach as high as level 25.  I’ve also cut out some of the other route that was used for Copper. (continue reading…)
