Mining Guide 66 - 125

66 - 125 Mining Skill Guide



(Screenshot: Tin Vein - click on image to enlarge)

Right the best area I have found when your mining skill hits 65 is known as Duskwood, ores offered in this area include Copper Ore, and Tin Ore... whichis pretty much what we are after when mining at this level. 

I have created the following map as a guide to finding the best density of tin ores which you will need to focus on when leveling up your Mining. 


(Click on the image to enlarge: this is my recommended mining route)

  •  Black focus spot: Roland's Doom, an abandoned mine which offers some Ore Veins

  • Blue focus spot: A "Nightbane Tainted One" camp which has an Elite in the cave, also a good spot for Mining.

  •  Green focus spot: This is the "Vul'Gol Ogre Mound" where there are lots of ogres and ores around their compound.

A note of interest, when you reach 75 Mining Skill points you will get a new ability which is known as Toughness (Rank 1) this will increase your Stamina by 3!


Once your Mining skill reaches 100 you will no longer gain skill points for mining copper however its still worth doing as you sometimes find gems and can sell on the ores/bars.


The best guidance I can give while in this area is to keep mining tin ores and remember to smelt them as smelting will also give you mining points. Keep mining in this area until your mining skills reach 125. 


Please note that in the Duskwood area you will also find Gold and Iron Ores, however at this level of mining you will not yet be able to gather them, its frustrating I know but keep your minds focus on the tin ores. You may also come across Silver ores, you will be able to loot these.


In tin mining nodes you will find the following:

  • Tin ore
  • Coarse Stone
  • Lesser Moonstone

Now when you reach 125 Mining Skill visit your Mining Trainer
You will become Expert Miner and can learn "Smelt Iron".
