WoW Mining Maps | WoW Mining Locations

Patch 3.3.3 debuted today with minimal changes to the mining profession:

• Mining
  • Titansteel Bar: Creating this item no longer results in a cooldown. If this ability is on cooldown when the patch is applied, players must wait for the cooldown to expire naturally before it is permanently removed.

While a small change this will affect players who used Titansteel Bars to make gold on the auction house. A side note, other profession changes were minor in general with only inscription receiving a seemingly big overhaul. Here are those notes in case you are interested.

Professions

• Runed Orbs: Recipes which require this item have had their material requirements significantly reduced.
• Engineering
  • The Pet Bombling and Lil’ Smoky non-combat pets are no longer Bind-on-Pickup.
• Fishing
  • The “Monsterbelly Appetite” daily fishing quest has changed so it now takes place outside the Violet Hold in Dalaran. The quest still requires a Severed Arm and has been renamed to “Disarmed!”
• Inscription
  • Most recipes that required 2 inks now only require 1.
• Mining
  • Titansteel Bar: Creating this item no longer results in a cooldown. If this ability is on cooldown when the patch is applied, players must wait for the cooldown to expire naturally before it is permanently removed.
• Tailoring
  • Glacial Bag: Creating this item now invokes a 7-day cooldown.
  • The cooldown and location requirements have been removed from creating Moonshroud, Spellweave and Ebonweave. If any of these abilities are on cooldown when the patch is applied, players must wait for the cooldowns to expire naturally before they are permanently removed.

This 1-450 Mining Leveling Guide will tell you how to Level Mining in the fastest and most efficient way possible.  Using a mixture of Smelting and Mining we will go from 1-450 in a very, very short amount of time.  This is the fastest way to level mining in World of Warcraft.

Make sure you have already have a mining pick and that you know where all of your mining trainers are at.  The mining trainers have all the recipes you need to smelt in these steps.  It is also a good idea to have wow mining addons, such as, gatherer in order to track mining nodes in game for the parts you will have to go out and mine in this guide.

Leveling your mining through Smelting is a lot quicker but requires more gold.  If you need help making gold check out this Gold Guide.
