Mining: Gold Ore

Gold Ore Deposits are one of the more uncommon mining nodes in the game. Many people seem to think that mining gold is profitable, this is true but on a tiny scale of other ores that can be mined in the game. On my server gold ore is actually worth LESS than 1 gold. So gold ore in the game is not "worth it weight in gold" even though that is exactly what it is.

If you do find yourself looking for gold ores for one of your professions you should take the time to have a look at "Burning Steppes" its a very easy place to mine, and most of the mining nodes of the area are either "Mithril", "Truesilver" and quite commonly "Gold Ores".

I have been mining on Warcraft for many years now and even today the best location that I have found on my Server is "Burning Steppes".
