WoW Fishing & Cooking Leveling Guide 1-525 Fishing and Cooking are made for one another, if you do one without the other you’ll be wishing you hadn’t later on. As with any profession, Cooking and Fishing can sometimes dig a hole in your pocket. Take a look at this Gold Guide to learn how to sell what you make for the most profit. The last step to skill level 525! It’s a short and quick route and it will bring you to skill level 525 in only a few minutes. It is actually the easiest route in whole of this guide, so if you’ve begun to get boring this takes no time! WoW Cataclysm Mining Leveling Guide 1-525 Mining is used for Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, and Engineeringthis means that the Auction House is usually LOADED with ALL the Mining supplies you’d ever need for leveling. So instead of wasting the time running around leveling your mining you may want to just BUY everything. Cataclysm Engineering Leveling Guide 1 - 75 Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Cataclysm Engineering.

This Cataclysm Engineering leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Cataclysm Engineering skill up from 1 to 75 as inexpensively as possible.

Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Cataclysm Engineering.

I recommend using Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt. The guide is in a small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quests are included. You’ll never have to switch back to a website, or even the in-game main map to see where you have to go or what’s next. And if you are low on gold, I recommend trying this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make a lot of gold.

Approximate Materials Required

  • 60 x Obsidium Bar
  • 30 x Volatile Air
  • 360 x Elementium Bar
  • 15 x Volatile Fire

Cataclysm Engineering Trainers

You can learn Cataclysm Engineering from one of the trainers in the main cities of old Azeroth. If you are having trouble finding the trainer just walk up to a guard in any major city and ask where the Engineering trainer is. Asking the guard will place a red marker on your map at the trainer's location.

Horde trainers:

  • Roxxik in Orgrimmar.
  • Engineer Palehoof in Thunder Bluff.
  • Danwe in Silvermoon City.
  • Franklin Lloyd in Undercity.

Alliance trainers:

  • Lilliam Sparkspindle in Stormwind City
  • Springspindle Fizzlegear in Ironforge.
  • Tana Lentner in Darnassus.

Engineering Tools

You will need some kind of tool to craft most engineering items. These tools are:

  • Blacksmith Hammer - Sold by Engineering or Blacksmith supply vendor.
  • Arclight Spanner - Requires 50 skill in Vanilla Engineering to craft.
  • Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor - Requires 175 skill in Vanilla Engineering to craft.
  • High-Powered Bolt Gun - Requires 15 skill points in Catacylsm Engineering to craft.

To save some bag space, I highly recommend getting a Gnomish Army Knife. It replaces all of these tools, so you only have to carry one item with you.

The Gnomish Army Knife also replaces Jeweler's Kit, Virtuoso Inking Set, Runed Copper Rod, so if you have any of these in your inventory, you can throw it out.

Where to get The Gnomish Army

  • You can buy the Ultimate Gnomish Army Knife from the Auction House.

  • If you already learned Draenor engineering, you can craft one Ultimate Gnomish Army Knife for 5 Gearspring Parts. (Craft one Gearspring Parts for 15 x True Iron Ore, 15 x Blackrock Ore. It will actually create 8 Gearspring Parts).

  • You can also craft Gnomish Army Knife if you have Northrend Engineering, but it's usually more expensive to make or buy.

Leveling Engineering

Gnome characters have +15 Engineering skill because of their passive Engineering Specialization. An extra 15 Engineering skill means recipes stay orange 15 points longer, so you can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for 15 more points.

1 - 45

Making these 3 recipes below should get you to 45, but you can make a few Safety Catch Removal Kit if you did not reach 45. Make the recipes in the same order as I listed them!

  1. 30 x Handful of Obsidium Bolts - 60 Obsidium Bar

    You will use these in every recipe, so keep these for later.

  2. 15 x Electrified Ether - 30 Volatile Air

  3. Make as many Volatile Seaforium Blastpack as you can using all the Electrified Ether you got.

45 - 60

15 x Lure Master Tackle Box - 300 Elementium Bar, 60 Handful of Obsidium Bolts

You can also make Elementium Toolbox if you have a lot of Volatile Earth

Make Big Daddy between 50-60 or even up to 75 if you have Goblin Engineering.

60 - 75

15 x Heat-Treated Spinning Lure - 60 Elementium Bar, 15 Volatile Fire, 15 Handful of Obsidium Bolts,

I hope you liked this Cataclysm Engineering leveling guide, congratulations on reaching 75!

This WoW Mining guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Mining profession up from 1 to 525. Updated for WoW patch 4.3
Mining is gathering profession and you can make lots of gold with it, you can even sell the lowest level Copper Ore for a decent amount of gold, high level players will buy them because most of them are too lazy to farm them.
Mining serves three professions: Blacksmithing, Engineering and Jewelcrafting, so it's really good combined with any of these. Check out my Engineering guide, Jewelcrafting guide or my Blacksmithing guide if you want to level any of these professions.
I mentioned, I will show a fast way to level Mining, unfortunately it's a gathering profession, and it takes time to level it up to 525, even if it's a fast way. In this Mining guide I will try to list the best zones where I found the most Mining nodes.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to Level 85 in 5 days with this Guide.



WoW Mining Leveling Guide 1 - 525

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Mining.
This addon shows you every Mining node location on your map. The addon and the databse can be found here.
I recommend you to get the following enchant: [Enchant Gloves - Gatherer]. You can just buy any low level gloves from a vendor and enchant that one with this Enchant, equip the gloves when you level your mining.
Check the Auction House and if there is any [Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Gatherer] available, buy it.





1 - 50

You will mine [Copper Ore] in this section.
Check out my other Mining leveling guide if you want to level mining with [Smelting] only. You can level mining a lot faster, but it will also cost you a lot more gold.
Actually, you should always smelt your ores to gain a few free skill-ups, the only exception is if you need the Ores for Jewelcrafting, then you shouldn't smelt them.

Learn Mining Journeyman.
You will mine the following ores: [Tin Ore], [Silver Ore]


Hillsbrad Foothills
Hillsbrad Foothills is just simply the best place to farm Tin. If you are an alliance player you should still go there, but Northern Stranglethorn is a great alternative. You will see a red zone on the map, that zone is filled with Tin, it's everywhere. When you mined all of it, just go outside of the zone where you can see the little yellowish arrows, mine a few Tin and head back to the red zone, because it's most likely that the Tin Veins there are already respawned.

You will mine the following ores at this section of this WoW Mining guide:
[Iron Ore], [Gold Ore]


Western Plaguelands

Alternative map:




150 - 200

Learn Mining Expert.
You will mine the following ores: [Mithril Ore], [Truesilver Ore]
Felwood and Burning Steppes are the best places to farm because the mining route is just so simple in these two zones. Badlands is also a really good place, but I found a bit more Mithril in the other zones.


Felwood



Burning Steppes
Don't go into Dreadmaul Rock. There is plenty of Mithril at the corner of the map, you will just get dismounted if you go into the cave and it will slow you down.


Alternative Map:




200 - 275

Learn Mining Artisan.
Buy Thorium Ores and smelt them until you reach 215 (210 if you have the Mining Enchant on your gloves), the reason for this is that with 215 Mining skill, you will be able to mine Rich Thorium Veins, not just the small ones. You can actually smelt Thorium up to 275 if you want to, as you can see it in my smelting guide. Sell the Thorium Bars at the Auction House if you don't need them.
When you reach 275, you can go to Hellfire Peninsula and mine Fel Iron or you can stay in the zones listed below until you reach 300.

You will mine [Adamantite Ore]. Often you will find Rich Adamantite Deposits, but unfortunately you won't be able to mine them until you reach 350. The red zones are caves and you should go into them, because there is a lot of Adamantite in those.


Nagrand




350 - 400

Visit your trainer and learn Mining Grand Master.
You will mine [Cobalt Ore]. I found Howling Fjord to be the best place to farm Cobalt however you can go to Borean Tundra if you want to, there are plenty of Cobalt there too. Visit my Cobalt Ore farming guide if you want to go to Borean Tundra.


Howling Fjord

You will mine [Saronite Ore]. Sholazar Basin is simply the best place to farm Saronite, you will find a few Rich Saronite Deposits, but you won't be able to mine them yet.
Sometimes you can get unlucky and there will be too many Rich Saronite Deposits, you can try Wintergasp if this happens. If the battle is on, you won't be able to use flying mount for a few minutes.

You will mine [Obsidium Ore].There is a lot more Obsidium in Hyjal than in Vashj'ir, but there is also a lot more players. Hyjal beats Vashj'ir if there isn't anyone else farming the zone, else the zones are pretty similar. If you go to Vashj'ir, you will also have to do the starting quests until you get your underwater mount.

There will be some Pyrite Deposit, but you won't be able to mine them until you reach 525. Rich Elementium Vein also requires a mining skill of 500, please don't get angry for not being able to mine these yet.
