World of Warcraft Mining Mini Guide – From Valkor Gold Crafting Guide

So, you want to do some mining in World of Warcraft, but don’t know where to go to make a lot of gold? Valkor Gold Crafting Guide provides some tips on how to improve your mining skills and the best World of Warcraft mining locations. These places are the places where you can maximize your time and get a good amount of gold in return.

Instead of starting with World of Warcraft mining locations that provide only a small return, let’s look at some places where you can actually get gold from mining. The mineral that we are going to extract is thorium. Thorium alone sells for a good price on the auction house (8-10 gold per stack), but one of the added benefits of mining Thorium is the chance to drop an Arcane Crystal. These crystals can be sold for 15-18 gold each on the auction house. They have a pretty good drop rate, so you should be able to collect a few while mining for Thorium.

The three best places to mine for Thorium are the Burning Steppes, Eastern Plaguelands, and Winterspring. I’ve had a lot of success in the Eastern Plaguelands, but I’m sure it varies from server to server. Now, since these places can get a bit crowded, you can head over to Un’Goro and mine Thorium from some veins in that area. It’s not uncommon to earn over 50 gold an hour just by mining Thorium and Arcane Crystals in these areas.

I hope you found this little World of Warcraft mining guide helpful. At the very least, you now know where to go to make easy gold through mining. Make sure you have enough space for your mining loot. Nothing worse than only being able to mine just a few thorium stacks before heading back to the auction house to unload. Time is money in World of Warcraft. Being able to bring more loot to the auction house means more gold in your pocket.
