How to Start Mining by Race

The different races in WoW begin their mining in different areas. It's a lot simpler for some than others. Here's a run down on the first route to take when mining for each race:

Human mining leveling guide: Follow this route and you'll come across at least two mines and mine 40 copper. From Goldshire move East to Crystal Lake, and at the logging camp turn South to the border of Duskwood and Elwyn Forest. Then back North to Goldshire.

Dwarf and Gnome mining leveling guide: You are surrounded by copper, just mine anywhere.

Night Elves mining leveling guide: You're going to follow a figure of 8 around the region. Head to Darkshore, from Auberdine head East to the cliffs. From there turn South, keeping close to the cliffs, and at the entrance to Ashenvale go West to the coast and then turn and return to Auberdine. From there head East again, but at the cliffs this time turn to the Northand keep with the cliffs along the coast back South to Auberdine again. You should have about 50 Copper.

Troll and Orc mining leveling guide: Run the entire circuit of Durotar - it's the easiest way. Do it a few times and you'll grab a good 40 Copper.

Undead mining leveling guide: Starting in DeathKnell, at the entrance, go South along the cliffs all the way up to Bulwark. Next, go North to Scarlet monastry keeping close to the cliffs the whole time. At the coast turn West, and curve South down to Agamand Mills. Then walk over the hills back to DeathKnell, the whole mining trip should bring you a good 40 copper.

Tauren mining leveling guide: At Mulgore get to the cliffs and walk all around them - it's easy to find 50 copper this way.

A couple of handy tips for you to finish up. For any character, get some cheap gloves and have them enchanted with +5 mining for a couple of gold. For the engineers amongst you, make yourself a good Goblin Mining Helmet, which'll also give you +5 mining skill.
