Mining is a collection profession. Players who have learned mining only need to purchase a miner's hoe from a merchant to mine. Mine veins to collect ores, stones, and gems.
Mining trainers are located in major cities, so you can easily find them. The following is the location of the mining trainers of each camp. If you still can't find it based on the coordinates, you can ask the soldiers in the city and they will mark the location for you on the map.
After you learn the mining profession, you will also learn a skill called "Looking for Minerals", which allows your minimap to display the locations of all nearby mineral veins (displayed as yellow dots on the minimap). However, the displayed mineral location is time-limited. It is recommended that you put this skill on the action bar to facilitate your continuous use.
Note: Mineral veins are usually found on cliff sides, inside caves, and near excavation sites. If you pass by these locations while leveling, don’t forget to use Find Mineral Veins!
Although searching for minerals can help you find any veins, you can't mine all veins when your mining is not yet advanced. When you are close to a mineral vein, the color displayed by the mineral vein represents the difficulty of mining the mine.
Red means that you cannot mine this mine yet and require higher mining skills. Orange means that if you currently mine this mine, there is a high probability that it will fail, but successful mining will increase the mining skill level. Yellow means that if you currently mine this mine, you may fail, but successful mining will increase your mining skill level. Green means that you can easily mine this mine at present, and the probability of failure is very small, but the mining skill level may not increase after successful mining. Gray means that if you currently mine this mine, it will never fail, but the mining skill level will not increase after successful mining.As your mining level continues to improve, you also need to continue learning from a mining trainer so that you can collect more rare ores.

At the same time, smelting items will also improve your mining accordingly. Skill.
Note: If you want to smelt, be sure to have a furnace nearby, usually next to the trainer.
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:
Prepare gold ingots * 20, true silver ingots * 10, rubies * 2 (optional) to obtain the secret furnace key: (If there are thieves in the team who have more than 260 unlock points, you can skip this part) Commit suicide and go to the furnace in the middle of Blackstone Mountain in the soul state , find the NPC Frank Ron Cast Iron, and after the conversation, you will receive the mission "The Legacy of Black Iron". Enter the Blackstone Abyss, kill Vernos Darkwill (see number 6 on the map, the craftsman hall with the stone golem), and obtain the quest items. Find the statue of Frank Ron Castiron in the arena (see number 4 on the map), hand in the quest item, and get the key. Go to Blackrock 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. Go through the Blackstone Bar opening scene (three methods). After completing the "Love Potion" quest of the waitress, talk to her and the door will open. If a thief steals the bar owner's key, it will cause a riot in the bar, and the thief will use the key to open the door. Go to the bar owner to buy 6 bottles of Black Iron Beer, and then give them to the green NPC lieutenant three times. The lieutenant will smash the barrel and open the door. In the Summoner's Tomb (see map point 15, Room of the Seven Sages), do not start a battle. Find NPC Grayruel (the second NPC) and talk to summon the "Ghost Cup". Give the prepared materials to the Ghost Cup, and then talk to the NPC Grayruel to learn how to smelt black iron. 8 Dark Iron Ore = 1 Dark Iron Ingot. Smelting black iron ingots must be done in the black furnace (see map point 19) behind the Seven Sages' room.
