Mining In Arathi Highlands

Arathi Highlands use to be a favorite lowbie mining spot to mine and I wanted to see if it still was. I was impressed with the spawn time for mines, up until my last flight around (hardly anything spawned). I also killed 3 lowbie rares and went into caves 6 times or so. I also got 2 blues. One dropped and one was in a Silverbound chest.

Before I get into what I got in total and what not, I will post about the rares for anyone interested.

The first rare I came across was in the cave in Drywhisker Gorge. His name is, Geomancer Flintdigger, you can visit Wowhead to learn more about this rare,
Gromancer Flintdigger



The second rare was Zalas Witherbark, you can find him in a cave in Witherbark Village. You can learn more about him here,
Zalas Witherbark



And the final rare was Nimar the Slayer, this rare is also in Withbark Village. He is on the outside by some trolls dancing, you can find him at a table. Learn more about him here,Nimar the Slayer



These rares were not all that great, but I suggest reading up on them on WoWhead from other players, that way you can see if they are worth killing or not.

Alright so first I will share the non mining stuff I collected. Now during the hour I was in Arathi I only wanted to mine, but when I saw rares I killed them and killed a few other NPCs because they were attacking/in the way. Anyways I got a few pieces of cloth, since this toon doesn't have cloth I will be sending the cloth to my mage and she will sell it, since she has a lot of cloth. I got 7 greens in total and 2 blues. The blues I got were, Ranger Bow and Lil Timmy's Peashooter. The bow dropped off a random troll in Witherbark Village and the Peakshooter was in a chest.

Now for the mining items.

~ 1 Shadowgem
~ 1 Lesser Moonstone
~ 4 Jade
~ 2 Aquamarine
~ 27 Silver
~ 27 Mithril
~ 30 Tin
~ 8 Gold
~ 93 Iron
~ 28 Coarse Stone
~ 107 Heavy Stone
~ 47 Solid Stone

Today was a good day to choose lowbie mines. I just put up a lot of the items on the AH. The greens will be going to my mage for disenchanting, and the mining stuff that is not equal to making a stack will be saved for another time. Once the auctions are completed I will make a new post about the results. I timed it and kept track of anything of importance. So we shall see how much I make from the hour of farming. My auctions are up for 48 hours, so we shall see what happens. Once everything sells (or is returned) in the 48 hours I will make a new post about it!

Happy Farming =)

Just Wanna Say Hey For A Minute

Hi, my name is Lee and I started this blog because I love World of Warcraft. And trust me I know how hard it can be just to get your first gold. My first character and only character that has made it to 70 is my gnome rogue. My poor little fella did not get his first gold until level 20!. Yeah... Yeah I know sad. When I made my mage who is now level 60 she got her first gold at level 10. I was new on my rogue not sure how to get the gold and at the time I kept buying unnecessary upgrades that he really did not need.

I’m bit smarter now, thanks to research and help from friends. However though I want more gold. So I have decided that soon, not today, maybe tomorrow or next week I am going to buy Warcraft Wealth because I heard a lot of good things about it. I am going to buy it and follow the guide and post the gold I make and stuff right here. My rogue is poor currently because I have not been playing much, but soon he will have more gold again.

Anyways I am doing this in hopes this guide does prove to me it has potential. As I go I will post my results. I am also doing a side project, its taking kind of long at the moment due to some personal things with my family I need to take care of. So my side project could take another week, but I am going to try and get it done ASAP because I want to share it with anyone who reads my blog.

Why Is WoW Gold So Important?

Starting out in game WoW gold is not that important. Lets face it levels 1 - 10 all your doing anyways is getting your class training done mainly, secondly your profession training. Some people play this way and others buy weapons and armor from vendor, personally I think that is a waste of time. As you quest weapons and armor will fall that you can use. Some quest will reward you with decent armor and weapons as well.

As you level gold will become more important. Not just to satisfy some silly wants, but to make sure your needs are met in game. Ever since the new patch came out, lower level characters have been able to buy their first mount at level 30 instead of 40. This will cause more of a strain on low levels to get the gold needed for their first mount. There are many ways to make gold in WoW, however at low level you will not be able to do all of them.

The fact of the matter though is this, to train your characters class and professions you are going to need gold eventually, it will not always be cheap, higher level gets more expensive. There also is the issue of using flight paths, although they are not expensive by any means, starting out you are going to want to have some silver and copper to fly to wherever it is you are going. Mounts are another thing, level 30, 60 and 70 you can get mounts. Trust me mounts making questing a lot easier.

My pricing may be off slightly, but this is roughly the cost of mounts as you level.

Lots of things can get costly. A simple upgrade, maybe a new weapon, perhaps you want to play around with fireworks and other fun items. Even your repair bill to the Blacksmith is going to get even more costly. Eventually you may want potions and elixirs or the best enchants. It all cost gold. So this site is here to help you in the direction of getting more gold and getting the things you want.
