WoW Horde Copper Mining Guide

Where to Mine Copper in Durotar

Durotar: Levels 1-11



Durotar is the starting area for the Horde races of Trolls and Orcs, it lies in Horde Territory outside of the city of Orgimmar, anyone can come here to mine but it is most convenient for these 2 races. This area is full of mountains which makes it a very good zone to mine copper. The cave in the northeast corner (Skull Rock) is a very good spot to farm and can be a good starting point to run copper mining routes in Durotar. I'd start at the cave and run south along the path to Razor Hill. From Razor Hill continue south out toward the coast, come back west along the path and do the circle that runs around Sen'jin Village. From Sen'jin Village there head back north and and then west along the mountains following the path. Then either run back east to get back on path or just head directly north from there into the mining route. Loop through the valley with all the thunder lizards (Thunder Ridge), come back out go along the mountains to the west of the valley, then run east along the mining path, and either head south to redo some of the paths or head all the way east back toward the cave and start over.
Where to Mine Copper in Eversong Woods

Eversong Woods: Levels 1-10



Eversong woods is the beginning area for Blood Elves. It has a few good places to mine copper. Starting North of Farstrider Retreat head east to the Duskwither Spire. From the spire head south along the mountains all the way to the end of the trolls where the path starts to lead west. Keep going west and perform a loop around the mountain range as indicated on the path and continue heading west toward Fairbreeze Village. Perform a loop around the mountain range to the south of Fairbreeze Village and then head north along some of the smaller ridges and then east toward the East Sanctum. From the East Sanctum head north to the mountains above and and then back east along the route from Farstrider Retreat.
Where to Mine Copper in Tirisfal Glades

Tirisfal Glades: Levels 1-11



Starting at Brill head north onto the path and continue following the path east and north along the mountains until you hit the water. Follow the coast line east towards Scarlet Monastery, head south along the mountain range outside of Scarlet Monastery. Head east into the spider area (Venomweb Vale) and wrap around to come back west. Keep following the path west until it hits the western mountain range where it can then be followed north up into Agamand Mills and follow the mountains north, east, and south around Agamand Mills until you reach the point you started north of Brill and repeat the route.
Where to Mine Copper in Mulgore

Mulgore: Levels 1-11



Mulgore is the starting area for Tauren. Because of the surplus of caves there is a very easy route to follow. Start out at any point on the route and ensure that every cave area that you approach you go into if possible. Loop around the entire edge of Mulgore until it cuts east from a cave to the south of Thunderbluff all the way across the map to another cave (Venture Co. Mine).
Where to Mine Copper in The Barrens

The Barrens: Levels 10-25



The Barrens is usually the next area in line for the Tauren, Orc, and Trolls after they complete their starting newbie zones. It is a very big zone with mobs ranging from levels 10-25, the further south you go the higher level the enemies becomes, so if you are a low level following this guide, please be careful. The best starting point is the mountain around Wailing Caverns because the Horde can fly right into the Crossroads, if starting at Ratchet is easier or you are Alliance start there but this walk through will begin at Crossroads. Run south following the path near Wailing Caverns, head east of the Lushwater Oasis along the path and do a loop around the mountains just to the north of Northwatch Hold. From Northwatch hold follow the path south along the eastern mountains of the zone. Once you reach the area of Razorfen Downs and Razorfen Kraul head north along the western edge of the mountains (be careful there are level 20-25 quillboars in this area) to Camp Taurajo. From Camp Taurajo continue north along the western mountains following the path all the way until you reach the harpy area (The Dry Hills) in the northwestern corner. From the harpies head east, do a loop around the mountain, head north from there and then continue east to the cave in the northeastern corner of the zone (Boulder Lode Mine). From the cave head south again and do a loop around the mountain on the map, then continue on the path south until you reach the mountain to the northwest of Ratchet. From this mountain head back across on the mining path to Wailing Caverns and begin again.
Where to Mine Copper in Silverpine Forest

Silverpine Forest: Levels 10-20



Silverpine Forest is the next area the Undead go to after their beginning area. There is a long mining route that is very easy to follow due to the high frequency of cave systems and mountains in this zone. Start at Sepulcher and head north all the way to the cave system in the northwest corner of the zone (The Skittering Dark). From the cave head east to the farm on the map then follow the coast south into the mountains. Head east into Ambermill and go north beyond Ambermill and then back south along the mountains on the opposing side. Continue south until the path then head west along the bottom of the mountains and then northwest back toward Sepulcher following the mountain line the entire time.
Where to Mine Copper in Ghostlands

Ghostlands: Levels 9-20



Ghostlands is the next area for Blood Elves after completing Eversong Woods. There are a few good mountain routes for copper in this zone. Start out north of Tranquillien and follow the mountains northeast on the path until you come to the cave (Amani Catacombs). Go through the cave to the east. Once through the cave head south around the mountain and west toward Sanctum of the Sun and back toward Tranquillien. From Tranquillien head west past Sanctum of the Moon then South on the path. Follow the Dead Scar south and then east on the map along the southern mountain line. Come off the mountain line to go around the water and northeast along the mountains back toward Farstrider Enclave. Follow whichever route from Farstrider Enclave to Tranquillien and use the opposite route to start the mining route over again.
Where to Mine Copper in Instances

If you are looking to mine copper in instances check out Wailing Caverns (15-21) and The Deadmines (15-20), which is located in Alliance Territory.

WoW Alliance Copper Mining Guide

Here are the Noob School's top places to mine copper in Alliance Territory. If your character is a very low level check the levels of each zone before attempting to mine there.
Where to Mine Copper in Azuremyst Isle

Azuremyst Isle: Levels 1-10



Azuremyst Isle is the starting area for the Draenei and has a few good spots to mine copper. Start south of Azure Watch and follow the path east where it wraps around and then heads back north. Follow the path north, then west along the mountain ridge until it comes to the path. Follow the path north and go into Stillpine Hold (if you can handle the enemies), come out of the cave and loop around the outside of the mountains around Stillpine Hold. Head south back down the path and follow it around the lake (west and south) and then back toward Azure Watch to the east and then repeat the route.
Where to Mine Copper in Dun Morogh

Dun Morogh: Levels 1-10



Dun Morogh is the starting area for Dwarves and Gnomes. The zone is loaded with copper, as are most starting areas. Start at Ironforge and follow the path west along the northern edge of the mountains and then follow it south to where it curves to Gnomeregan. Once you reach the outside of Gnomeregan continue south until you hit Frostmane Hold (the cave), perform a loop inside the cave, come back out, and head southeast along the path until you reach the fork. At the fork head north along the ridge and then follow the path west of Kharanos around the loop where it performs a 180 degree turn back east. Follow the path east all the way until the path goes east no further, and then south along the mountains, and continue west until you get in the area of the Gol'Bolar Quarry. Do a loop around the quarry and come back out heading west, come off of the mountains to hit a very good ridge, and then head south along the ridge back into the loop and continue back around the mining path in whichever direction you wish.
Where to Mine Copper in Elwynn Forest

Elwynn Forest: Levels 1-10



Elwynn Forest is the starting area for Humans. This zone is not as loaded with copper as the other starting areas but there are some cave areas that are heavily loaded with copper to make up for it. You can follow my route or just perform the routes I have on the map in between cave systems if you wish. Starting from Stormwind head southwest along the mining map, loop around to the south until you head back east. Continue east into the Fargodeep Mine, your first cave system (you want to go inside here if possible). After mining this cave head northeast along the path until you reach another cave system (Jasperlode Mine), go into this cave as well. Come back out of the cave and head east, perform a loop around the island (Heroes' Vigil). From this point you can either head back southwest along the path back towards Fargodeep Mine, or you can continue heading east along the mining path. Continuing east along the path follow the mountains around the logging camp until you begin to head southwest towards the Tower of Azora (the tower icon on the map). Gather all the copper around the tower and continue southwest to the mouth of the river where you can perform a loop around the island at the mouth. Once complete head back west on the path to the docks and perform a loop there. After completing the docks head west back into the path and continue going whichever direction that was the most beneficial to you.
Where to Mine Copper in Bloodmyst Isle

Bloodmyst Isle: Levels 10-18



Bloodmyst Isle is the next area Draenei head to after leaving Azuremyst Isle. There are a lot of places to get ore but this mining path represents the best one I've found. Start at Blood Watch and head south along the path, then west along the mountain ridge to the Vector Coil area. From there head north and up into the spider area where it hooks to a dead end, turn around and then east toward Axxarien. From Axxarien head south on the route back to Blood Watch. The next run instead of going up toward the spider area, take the path east around the mountains on the way to Axxarien.
Where to Mine Copper in Darkshore

Darkshore: Levels 9-20



Darkshore is the next area Night Elves are sent to after they complete the quests in their beginning area. There is a good mountain to mine at in the eastern part of this zone with lots of copper veins. Start out anywhere along the mountain to the east and head north or south as preferred. Above Cliffspring Falls (a waterfall in the north) is a cave system with a lot of good veins inside, it is a must stop but can be difficult to clear the humanoids out if you are not high enough level. The further you go to the south or north of Auberdine the harder the enemies will become, as high as the 20s in the very north and south ends. Continue going up and down the mountain, if you get bored there are also some veins near the moonkin area east of Auberdine and their caves that can be used to break the boredom of this route.
Where to Mine Copper in Westfall

Westfall: Levels 10-18



Westfall is the next area for Humans to go to after they complete their beginning quest line in Elwynn Forest. There are only a few really good areas for mining, which are the mountain range to the south and two of the cave systems that will be the main focus of the route. Start the route by heading south from Sentinel Hill and enter onto the mining path and perform a loop in the Defias infested mountains. Then follow the path east along the mountains until you hit the tower. Avoid the tower by going northeast of it and then follow the river north until the path heads northwest. Next follow the path to the west along the coast and then south into the Jangolode Mine. From the mine head back out to the coast and follow it down to the Gold Coast Quarry, go into the mine. Once out of the cave head south along the coast again, then head east back into the beginning loop of this route.
Where to Mine Copper in Loch Modan

Loch Modan: Levels 10-20



Loch Modan is the next area that the Gnomes and Dwarves are sent to after they complete the newbie area of Dun Morogh. It is located to the east of Dun Morogh and of course it is a good mining area because it is occupied by Dwarves (Dwarves are obsessed with mining). Start at Thelsamar and head south, perform a loop around the cave systems in the southwestern part of the zone. Come out of the cave systems and head northwest along the path and continue to follow it north along the western edge of the mountains almost to the outpost graphic on the map. From just south of the outpost graphic on the map head east and do a loop around the mountain and then head north. Once you are at the northern mountains in the zone head east. You have two options while heading east, if you prefer to swim take the solid line and perform a “U” through the lake with find minerals on, if you don't prefer to swim then head across the dotted line which goes across the dam. Continue to head east. Perform a loop through the elite ogre area (Mo'grosh Stronghold) and the caves (if you're able to, otherwise go south along the mountains and skip the cave/elite ogre area). Follow the path until you reach the eastern edge of the mountains. Once you hit the eastern mountains follow the path south, you can come off the mountain on the path to hit the standalone mountain on the map or just continue south and ignore the path. Around the building icon on the map in the southeastern corner head west along the bottom of the mountain that is just north of Ironband's Excavation Site. From the excavation site follow the path west and then south and perform a loop around those mountains. Once you complete the loop head back west toward Thelsamar and start over.
Where to Mine Copper in Instances

If you are looking to mine copper in instances check The Deadmines and Wailing Caverns (located in Horde Territory).

WoW Tin Mining Guide

Here are The Noob School's top five zones for mining tin. If your character is a lower level check the levels to see what level mobs are found in each zone. Also, make sure your mining is at least 65 before you attempt to mine tin.
Where to Mine Tin in the Barrens

The Barrens: Levels 10-25



The tin mining route for the Barrens is very similar to the copper mining route in the Barrens because both tin and copper will be found in many of the same places. You could follow the copper mining route and probably get enough tin; however, this tin route focuses on some of the areas that are more commonly populated with tin.

Start out by going north of Ratchet into Boulder Lode Mine, proceed west toward the harpy areas in The Dry Hills. Go into the harpy areas and loop around the mountains inside their camp. Next travel southeast toward Wailing Caverns, ensure that you check the Lushwater Oasis south of Wailing Caverns. From the oasis head east to the The Stagnant Oasis and then wrap around the east side of the mountain range and head toward Northwatch Hold. From Northwatch Hold head west on the path and then south along the eastern mountain ridge. Perform a loop around Blackthorn Ridge, the quillboar camp in the very south of the zone, and head back into the path to repeat going whichever direction on the path you prefer.
Where to Mine Tin in Thousand Needles

Thousand Needles: Levels 24-35



The tin mining route for Thousand Needles is very simple. Perform a full loop of the outer edges of the entire zone and proceed into Shimmering Flats, if you can handle the mobs (up to level 35), if not just cut off your route before entering Shimmering Flats and continue onto the other side of the zone. Stay away from Highperch beasts because they will only slow down your mining time.
Where to Mine Tin in Hillsbrad Foothills

Hillsbrad Foothills: Levels 20-32



The area of focus in Hillsbrad Foothills should be Azurelode Mine, which is directly west of Southshore. Depending on what area you fly into, Tarren Mill or Southshore, hop onto the route and follow the route as indicated on the map. Stick to the northern mountains, the Azurelode Mine, Yeti Cave, and the stream and there will be an abundance of tin on this path.
Where to Mine Tin in Redridge Mountains

Redridge Mountains: Levels 15-25



This small circuit in the mountains north of Lakeshire is the most productive tin route available in the zone. Ensure that you enter all caves if you can handle the enemies, this route is full of gnolls around level 20 and orcs up to level 25, so be prepared. As an alternative you can run the mountains in a small loop in the southeastern part of the zone but I have not found it to be remotely as productive as the route in the northwest.
Where to Mine Tin in Duskwood

Duskwood: Levels 19-30



The major focus areas of this route are Roland's Doom, the nightbane infested cave, located in the southeastern part of the route and Vul'Gol Ogre Mound, the southwestern cave full of ogres. The rest of the route is to break boredom. There are tin veins around the outside mountain range of The Twilight Grove but they are not as frequent as either of the two caves, but if you cannot handle the caves then by all means use the full route on the map skipping the cave areas.
Where to Mine Tin in Instances

If you are looking for instances with tin you will find it in The Deadmines (15-20), Wailing Caverns (15-21), and Blackfathom Deeps (20-27)

WoW Iron Mining Guide

Here is The Noob School's Iron Mining Guide. You will find our top picks for mining iron below.
Where to Mine Iron in Arathi Highlands

Arathi Highlands: Levels 30-39



There are 2 circuits you can do and a path that connects the two also has ore on it. The one on the west focuses on the orge cave (Boulderfist Outpost) and mining the north ridge of the mountains, also a few nodes spawn on the path so mine these to allow the cave nodes to respawn. This is definitely a good route to do if you are in your low 30's because you can grind experience in the cave while doing this. If you are doing the western circuit too fast where the nodes aren't respawning when you start over, the eastern circuit is a lot bigger and involves multiple caves that you should go in and clear out on the way. Or you can just use the path between the two circuits and alternate.
Where to Mine Iron in Badlands

Badlands: Levels 35-44



It is recommended you have a mount for mining in this zone. Dustbelch Grotto, the mountain northeast of Dustbelch Grotto, and the path that leads northeast to another mountain range south of Angor Fortress are the key components in this route. The area northeast of Kargath and the south and southeastern mountain ridges are also very good. The paths in between all of these points will also contain iron deposits. Choose to follow whatever path or all of the paths for this route, they all lead you to very good places to mine iron.
Where to Mine Iron in Stranglethorn Vale

Stranglethorn Vale: Levels 30-44



The key areas in this route are The Stockpile (cave in the northeast), the Mosh'Ogg Ogre Mound, and the Crystalvein Mine (cave to the south of the ogre mound). The very northwestern loop has iron deposits all along the ridges. If the southern loop is hard to follow then after reaching the furthest point south in the loop just turn around and head back north the way you came.
Where to Mine Iron in Thousand Needles

Thousand Needles: Levels 24-35



This is the exact same route as the Thousand Needles silver mining route except the loop isn't listed as an optional part of the route. Perform this circuit like a figure 8 or ignore the middle path and just run the entire outside edges of Thousand Needles and Shimmering Flats while making sure to stop by any caves and also go into Highperch.
Where to Mine Iron in Alterac Mountains

Alterac Mountains: Levels 30-40



There are two circuits in Alterac Mountains that can be ran. The northern one involves running in and next to camps of humanoids that are around level 40. The southern circuit involves the same level of enemies except they will be ogres in the Ruins of Alterac. Choose to run whatever circuits you think you can handle; these are the best spots in the zone to mine iron.
Where to Mine Iron in Hillsbrad Foothills

Hillsbrad Foothills: Levels 20-32



If you're looking to mine iron this might not be the place for you unless you just want to grab a few iron ores. The only key components in all of Hillsbrad are the Yeti Caves in the north and surrounding ridges, the area of where the path leads to Hinterlands, and the area of Dun Garok. There isn't really a circuit or good path I can make but you can draw lines in between or run from one spot to the next just to get to the iron ore but this is definitely not a recommended way to level your mining or gather a sufficient supply of iron ore.
Where to Mine Iron in Instances

Uldaman (35-45), Razorfen Kraul (24-33), and Maraudon (40-49) are instances with iron.
