Mining fuels many professions, although it goes well with some more then others. The following is a list of comparisons between the other professions and mining. Remember, if you choose mining, you will only have one profession left.
5 [7 P" ~* D. X4 |& }

Alchemy: Mining and alchemy do not go along together very well. While alchemy can transmute metals and some potions may need metals, herbalism would always be better.


Blacksmithing: Most everything a blacksmith makes is done with metal and gems obtained through mining. You should rarely pick up blacksmithing without mining, as the ores required to skill up are extremely expensive.

; G& O0 b7 j5 a0 E
Enchanting, Skinning, Talioring: These three professions do not require mining nor interfere with it. Skinning is an exceptional choice to take with mining though, as with two gathering skills you can bring in the money fast.


Engineering: Like blacksmithing, engineering requires rare gems and metals. If you plan on becoming an engineer then you will want to bring mining along to fund your crafts.

- G3 p5 H' Q% w' m* k/ ?4 {- C
* w1 ]7 N2 X$ E$ R; e2 u: EHerbalism: Herbalism and mining do not go together very well. There is good reason, of course. Mining and herbalism use the mini-map to detect “nodes” (locations veins and herbs). You can only detect one type of node at a time, so you can&rsquo;t detect both mineral veins and herbs.


5 f3 A" J0 O5 ^7 `Jewelcrafting: You will need mining to take full advantage of jewelcrafting. Most items created with jewelcrafting will require rare gems which can be found easier with prospecting (a jewelcrafting skill).


Leatherworking: Mining and leatherworking do not go along together as leatherworking requires leather from skinning.

They have static spawns, but random ugg boots&nbsp,wow gold;respawn times. This means that all veins can be reached on foot (they will very rarely spawn in a way that is unreachable) and can be mapped out. The respawn time can be from a few minutes to a few hours, so it&rsquo;s generally a good idea to never wait around on a vein to respawn.
, |  M$ C; ^, Q6 J1 x/ k( r- z

  S& I/ F: V7 C& ~Sometimes, certain metal veins can respawn as a special type of vein with an uncommon type of ore. This kind of ore is generally always considered rarer and more valuable then the base ore. Tin can respawn as Silver, Iron can respawn as Gold, and Mithril can respawn as Truesilver. Going out of your way for these types of metals can be a very good idea.

Minerals have a certain “difficulty” rating. Each mineral vein requires you to be near the skill level of that vein in order to mine it. Its color coded so it&rsquo;s easy to figure out.

; ^* ]- S. e& r: M  s* [' }7 I# LRed: Can not mine,buy wow gold, you can attempt to mine it to see what skill level is needed before you can begin to mine it.


Orange/Yellow/Green: You can mine it with 100% success. Orange has a great chance to give you a skill gain, yellow has an alright chance to give you a skill gain, and green has a fair chance to give you a skill gain.

Grey: You can mine it with 100% success, but there will be no skill gain.
