WoW SoD Mining Boost

What You Get

• Mining raised to the skill you selected, up to 300
• All ore, stone and gems mined during the order
• Smelting learned along the way, so you can make bars yourself
• A screenshot of your Mining skill at the target

Before We Start

• A Season of Discovery character with a free primary profession slot or Mining already learned
• Level 35 or higher for the Artisan rank above 225

A WoW SoD Mining boost lifts your Mining skill to the value you need, up to 300, where Rich Thorium veins open. The booster mines along efficient routes, smelts where it helps the skill and leaves all ore, stone and gems on your character. The booster is usually assigned within 15 minutes.

Choose your current skill and your goal. The 250–300 part costs more than the early ranks, because Thorium veins are spread over a few high-level zones and shared with other miners.

The order runs Piloted or by Remote Control. If you would rather keep raw ore than smelted bars, write it in the order chat before the booster starts.

What Is Mining in Season of Discovery?

Mining is a gathering profession. With a Mining Pick in your bags you can open ore veins in the open world and in dungeons, and you can smelt the ore into bars at a forge. The ore climbs with your skill: Copper first, then Tin, Iron, Mithril and Thorium, with Rich Thorium at the top. Dark Iron is a special case, found in and around Blackrock Mountain.

Blacksmiths and engineers need mountains of bars, and the stone from the veins becomes sharpening stones and weightstones for every melee class. A WoW SoD mining boost puts your character at the skill where the valuable veins are, so you can supply your own crafting or sell the ore.

Mining Boost Ranks and Ores

Skill	Main ore	Where it is used
1–65	Copper	Early bars, rough stones
65–125	Tin, Silver	Bronze bars
125–175	Iron, Gold	Mid-level weapons and gadgets
175–245	Mithril, Truesilver	Late leveling gear
245–300	Thorium, Rich Thorium	Level 60 crafts and consumables

Buy Mining for Blacksmithing or Engineering

Most players mine for a reason: they plan a craft that eats bars. The Blacksmithing profession boost and the SoD Engineering boost both need large amounts of metal, and pairing either with Mining saves buying it later. If gold is the goal, Mining also pairs well with a second gathering skill. Every option is listed on the Season of Discovery professions boost page.

How Long the Mining Carry Takes

The skill rises with every vein and every smelt, so the early ranks pass quickly. Time grows after 245, when only Thorium veins still give points and the booster has to rotate between Winterspring, Un'Goro Crater, Silithus and the Burning Steppes to find them. Before that, the route stays inside one or two zones per rank, with smelting breaks at the nearest forge to pick up a few extra points. You receive an estimate for your exact range in the first message from the booster. Your order goes to the highest-rated booster, progress shows in the order chat, and the result is confirmed with a screenshot.

FAQ

When can my Mining boost start?

A booster is usually assigned within 15 minutes of payment and starts once access is shared.

How long does Mining 1–300 take?

It depends on your starting skill and on competition for Thorium veins on your realm. The booster gives an estimate in the order chat.

Do I keep the ore?

Yes. All ore, stone and gems stay on your character. Tell the booster if you want them smelted into bars or left raw.

What makes a Mining order cost more?

A wider range and the Thorium ranks from 245 to 300 cost more. Remote Control costs a little more than Piloted.
