Tin Ore farming

This Tin Ore farming guide will list the places where I was able to farm the most amount of Tin in the least amount of time. Farming Tin Ore will be easy because there is loads of it in most lower level zone.

Tin Ore is the second-easiest ore to mine, it's recommended to have Mining 50 before you start farming, because you will get more ores. You can use your smelting ability and turn all your Tin Ore into Tin Bar.

Playing Classic Era?

This guide is for Retail WoW and Cataclysm Classic. I have a separate guide for Classic Era:

Tin Ore farming in Classic

Hillsbrad Foothills

Alterac Mountains in Hillsbrad Foothills is simply the best place to mine Tin Ore. The place is marked with red on the map. If you run out of Veins, just do a lap around the mountains until they respawn. This place can be a bit harder to reach for lower level Alliance players because it's a horde zone.

Northern Stranglethorn

Northern Stranglethorn is a great alternative if you can't go to Hillsbrad for some reason, but I prefer Hillsbrad.

These are the best zones if you want to farm Tin Ore. Once you are done mining Tin, go to my Iron Ore Farming page to farm some Iron!
