In World of Warcraft Classic, mining is a profession that produces metal ores, various stones, and advanced materials arcane crystals. It also has the ability to smelt metal ingots. Its production can be used by two majors: casting and engineering, and it has excellent earning power. It is often used as a second major for dual-mining players and casting and engineering players.
This article will be divided into four parts: an introduction to the main mineral veins in Classic Server, a mining 1-300 upgrade guide, the distribution of mineral veins in various maps of Classic Server, and learning to smelt black iron ingots.
copper mine
Main production areas: novice map, level 10 map
Associated gemstones: inferior stones, malachite, tiger eye stone

Tin Mine (Silver Mine)
Main production areas: level 10 map, level 20 map, level 30 map
Associated gemstones: rough stone, tiger’s eye, secondary moonstone
Function: Mainly used for forging and engineering training, and can smelt bronze ingots. Gems are basically useless.
Iron ore (gold mine)
Main production areas: level 40 map, level 45 map

black iron ore
Main producing areas: Burning Steppes, Searing Gorge, Dark Abyss (dungeon), Molten Core (dungeon)

Function: Smelting black iron ingots requires completing tasks, please refer to the fourth part of this article. Black iron ingots are one of the materials for forging black iron suits (plate armor fire kang equipment). In addition, the blood of the mountain is a material needed in the production process of MC Orange Hammer, and the black diamond is a material that can be exchanged for the Holy Pact of Greed and the Holy Pact of Constitution (helmet and leg armor enchantments).
Futher Silver Mine

Futher silver mine covered in ooze

Black iron ingots are one of the important sources of fire kang equipment in major dungeons in the early stage of the classic server (some bosses in Molten Core and Blackwing Lair have fire kang requirements), so learning to smelt black iron ingots is a must after mining skill level 300. Skill.
Here is the map of Blackrock Abyss for later reference:
Learning steps:
1. Prepare gold ingots*20, real silver ingots*10, rubies*2
2. (Optional) Obtain the secret furnace key: (If there are thieves in the team who have more than 260 unlock points, you can skip this part)
(a) Commit suicide, go to the furnace in the middle of Blackstone Mountain in the soul state, find NPC Frank Ron Cast Iron, and receive the mission "Legacy of Black Iron" after a conversation.
(b) Enter the Blackstone Abyss, kill Vernos Darkwill (see number 6 on the map, the craftsman hall with the stone puppet), and obtain the quest items.
(c) Find the statue of Frank Ron Cast Iron in the arena (see number 4 on the map), hand in the quest items, and get the key.
3. Go to Blackstone Abyss, find the Lock of the Dark Forge in the Barracks (see number 9 on the map), use the Dark Forge Key, then go up to the 2nd floor of the Barracks, and clear monsters all the way to the Black Iron Bar.
4. Pass through the Blackstone Bar opening scene (three methods).
(a) After completing the "Love Potion" task of the waitress, talk to her and the door will open.
(b) A thief stealing the bar owner’s key will cause a riot in the bar, and the thief will use the key to open the door.
(c) Buy 6 bottles of Black Iron Beer from the bar owner, and then give it to the green NPC lieutenant three times. The lieutenant will smash the barrel and open the door.
5. In the Summoner's Tomb (see map point 15, Seven Sages' Room), do not start a battle. Find NPC Grayruel (the second NPC) and talk to summon the "Ghost Cup".
6. Give the prepared materials to the Ghost Cup, and then talk to the NPC Greyruel to learn how to smelt black iron. 8 Dark Iron Ore = 1 Dark Iron Ingot
7. Smelting black iron ingots must be done in the black furnace (see map point 19) behind the Seven Sages' room.
