WoW Cataclysm Mining

There have been a lot of alterations to the mining profession in the Cataclysm Expansion. Here is a list of items that have changed the face of mining forever.

Cataclysm Mining Changes

• New level 80-85 zones have been added
  
• 3 new ores have been added to the game: Elementium, Obsidium, and Pyrite
  
• All level 1-60 zones have been restructured, some have had their level ranges changed and the ore types have changed in these zones as well
  
• New smelting recipes have been added for Saronite Ore
  
• The mining skill cap has been raised to 525
  
• Illustrious Mining has been added at the mining trainer

That's a lot of modifications to a profession for just an expansion but right here is a list of things that have not changed.

Unchanged in Cataclysm

• All Burning Crusade zones will remain the very same.
  
• All Wrath of the Lich King zones will stay the very same.

Most of the players with mining will be going for the server 1st Illustrious Miner Achievement, that is given to the very first player to hit 525 mining skill. For players wishing to have the most effective chance at receiving this achievement they will want to head to two new zones suitable away, assuming they are 450 skill already.

If players who want this achievement are not 450 skill mining they will have a tough time becoming the server initially and ought to get 450 mining just before the expansion comes out.

For those that have 450 mining already, be certain to set your hearth to Winterspring just before the expansion goes reside to be in a position to fly directly into Mount Hyjal. Camp your character out near the mining trainer prior to the expansion hits, train the subsequent level of mining to get your skill to 525, hearth to Winterspring, fly to Mount Hyjal and remain until 475, then head instantly over to Twilight Highlands on the opposite continent to finish mining to 525.

Be sure to study the most efficient and fastest way to get to Mount Hyjal, if the character getting played has a second hearth or recall ability, set that ability to close to Twilight Highlands. Other choices include having a warlock and two pals stand by till 475 mining is reached and then summon your character perfect into Twilight Highlands.
