Primary gathering profession

Mining

Digs ore and stone from veins, and smelts ore into bars.

Every ore Mining gathers in World of Warcraft: Forever, from those found in low-level zones to those found in high-level ones. Each zone links to its map with that ore alone on it and the stretch where it grows outlined. Spawn points count every place one can appear, not how many are up at once.

Where each ore grows is from data players have gathered, not yet checked in game by us. The skill each needs is not in the game client's data, so it is not given here. Forever is in beta: any of it can change with a patch. Mining overview
