Vanilla Smelting 1-300 - Mining Leveling Guide (Retail WoW)

This Mining leveling guide will help you level Mining a lot faster by using the ability called Smelting. You get this ability when you learn Mining.

My Mining leveling guide shows you a lot slower way to level mining, but that way will cost you nothing. You will need a lot of gold if you want to level mining by smelting only. However, most of the time, if you sell every bar you made from the ores, you will make all of your gold back.

Approximate Ores Needed

Most of the smelting recipes will be yellow or green, so I cannot list the exact number of ores that you will need. It's different for every person and mainly based on luck.

• 80x Copper Ore
• 80x Tin Ore
• 10x Silver Ore
• 50x Iron Ore
• 15x Gold Ore
• 65x Mithril Ore
• 15x Truesilver Ore
• 200x Thorium Ore

• 1 - 50
  Smelt 80 x Copper Ore. Don't sell these yet. You will need them.

• 50 - 70
  Smelt 80 x Tin Ore.

  Save the bars because you will need them to make Bronze Bars. You can still go to the next step even if you did not reach 70.

• 70 - 90
  Smelt 80 x Bronze Bars.

  Don't worry if you didn't reach 90. You can continue with the next step, but you will need a bit more Silver Ore.

• 90 - 100
  Smelt 10 x Silver Ore.

• 100 - 125
  Smelt 50 x Iron Ore.

• 125 - 135
  Smelt 30 x Steel Bar.

  You can buy Coal from Blacksmithing and Mining supply vendors. They are usually near your trainer.

• 135 - 150
  Smelt 15 x Gold Ore

• 150 - 185
  Smelt 65 x Mithril Ore.

• 185 - 200
  Smelt 15 Truesilver Ore. Smelt more Mithril if you don't have Truesilver Ore, or visit my Thorium Ore farming guide and mine Thorium until you reach 200.

• 200 - 290
  Smelt 200 x Thorium Ore. Between 250 and 270, you could also make a few Enchanted Thorium Bar.

• 290 - 300
  The 290-300 part is the same for the smelting and the regular guide.
