Mining
Mining is running around looking for mineral nodes that you can then “harvest” ore, stone and gems from. Miners are in demand as the profession Blacksmithing, Engineering and Jewelcrafting all use materials they gather.
Mining seems to bring out the hot heads, Herbalism suffers from this also but I noticed miners really enjoy trying to ninja another player’s node, I personally think is someone is fighting a monster next to a node to mine it than you should leave it for them (however do whisper and ask if they are fighting the monster for the node, if no it’s all yours) while it happens in Herblism also, personally I found more greedy people are miners, not sure why but hey just what I have noticed over the past 3 years.
Mining as a profession is basically “a gold mine” no really it’s great for making money, I think it’s because so many profession need so much of the materials that it ends up being so profitable, good old supply and demand.
Mining is easy enough to level as long as you get yourself in to the right zones for your level, my Mining Guide – 1 to 375 will help you with that, complete with Mining Node Map links.
