The War Within Mining Guide

Welcome to our The War Within Mining guide — a profession that is considered the bread and butter for such professions as Blacksmithing, Engineering, and Jewelcrafting. It allows players to mine ores and uses collected resources to craft various items. The War Within expansion brings some quality-of-life changes into the professions and Mining is not an exception. Let’s take a quick look at TWW Mining Changes and decide if it is worth it to level this profession up. You can also read our Awekining the Machine Guide.

The War Within Mining Benefits

Mining is an excellent gathering profession for obtaining gold. It can be combined with various crafting professions, such as Jewelcrafting or Blacksmithing, for optimal benefit. However, some players prefer to combine it with another gathering profession, such as Herbalism. This will allow you to gather a substantial amount of resources, which are in high demand at the start of the game.

Don’t miss your chance, because right at the start of the expansion you can easily obtain sufficient gold until the end of the The War Within expansion, as we’re talking about significant sums of money. And to ease the process of farming, you can acquire TWW Professions Kits from our team.

The War Within Mining Changes

Mining hasn’t changed much. You’ll be doing the same things in The War Within that you did in Dragonflight:

1. As in Dragonflight, you can collect resources on mounts in The War Within.
2. New equipment with new stats for the mining profession has been added.
3. There are three WoW Mining specializations to choose from.
4. A new profession hub with Crafting Tables has been added in Dornogal.
5. Also, in this expansion, new ores to mine were added:

• Bismuth Ore;
• Ironclaw Ore;
• Aqirite Ore.

And if the ores above are Elemental Modified Ores, they will grant you new resources:

Modification	Side Gather
Crystallized	Crystalline Powder
Webbed	Weavercloth
Weeping	Writhing Sample

The War Within Equipment for Mining

In the expansion, we have new The War Within Mining Accessories and Tools. New added Mining gear will make your gathering easier and faster. To get this equipment you will need Gold for resources to craft it, and we can provide it to you.

The War Within Mining Leveling

Like all World of Warcraft add-ons, The War Within Mining Profession Leveling is all about gathering resources and gaining Mining skill points. The only thing we can advise is to buy Phial of the Truesight which will help you to see hidden ore points.

The Mining profession leveling in World of Warcraft The War Within is a bit more difficult compared to previous expansions. Early on, skill points are earned from nodes like Bismuth and Ironclaw; those begin to taper off by level 70. Past that point, you would be required to lean on the rare nodes — such as Empowered and Camouflaged varieties (e.g. Camouflaged Bismuth, Camouflaged Ironclaw) — for further progression. Our team can make the process of leveling the profession easier and quicker with our Mining Training service.

This will take about 2-3 hours if you’re lucky with the node spawns and don’t have much competition. The mining of Empowered ores also unlocks bonuses, like extra material or special effects.

Highly recommended: Use a Phial of Truesight to show you camouflaged nodes and thus greatly speed up your progress.

Note: We recommend choosing Mining Fundamentals first in order to unlock Mining while mounted. However, if you have Sky Golem, you can choose another spec.

The War Within Mining Specializations

At skill level 25 in Khaz Algar Mining, players unlock Mining specialization for The War Within and at this point things get interesting. Specializations will require Knowledge Points to level up. The most common way of getting those points is simply to keep on gathering things as there is a chance to acquire some upon mining. Another source of gaining Knowledge Points is completing Mining Weekly Quests and World Activities. Players will be able to get all the specializations at once, although it will take some time to do and our team can help you with Knowledge Points farm service.

Best Mining Builds with Specialization

In The War Within, there is no definitive best build for Mining. However, your first step should be to invest 60 Knowledge Points in the primary ring of Mining Fundamentals, which allows you to mine while mounted in Khaz Algar.

After allocating those points to Mining Fundamentals, you can freely choose any options in Plethora of Ore, followed by selecting Mastering the Mysterious.This approach is the most efficient way to gather resources.

Mining Knowledge Treasures

When you gather resources you can find Khaz Algar Knowledge Points, which you can spend on specializations. There are two kinds of treasures: weekly and one-time use. The Weekly are:

•  Slab of Slate increases Khaz Algar Mining Knowledge by 1.
•  Erosion Polished Slate increases Khaz Algar Mining Knowledge by 3.

You can farm these two treasures every week and spend all of your time, or use our team’s Profession Knowledge farm service.

And here we have the table with one-time-use treasures:

The War Within Mining Trainers

We have four Mining Trainers in WoW The War Within Expansion:

• First is Tarib located in Dornagal (46.9, 22.5);
• Second is Shardgar located in Freywold Village (41.4, 74.0);
