Mining 300 to 375 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

300 - 330

Mining Fel Iron
Estimated number of nodes to mine = 30

Mining mainly Fel Iron.

Start at the Dark Portal and face nor, north-west. Following the edge of the world round in an anti-clockwise fashion round the back of the Dark Portal and loop round. Continue following the edge of the world and end up in Void Ridge. Either take the small valley shortcut to Zeth'Gor or continue on round the mountains and loop back south to Zeth'Gor that way. Follow the mountain line down to Spinebreaker Post and onto the Expedition Armoury. Follow the edge of the owrld until you reach the where the Ravagers are and then head north. Stay to the eastern side of the broken walls leading to Hellfire Citadel and then drop down and back up when you reach the Citadel proper. Continue north, skirting round Thrallmar on the western side until you reach the edge of the world again. If your Horde, head back through Thrallmar and then north up into the Forge camps. If your Alliance, head south past Thrallmar and loop back up to the Forge Camps. From here head east, following the mountains and then south. If your really daring (read: suicidal) then head up onto the Abssyal Shelf and mine all the nodes there. If your flying, there is normally one or two nodes that you can get to without dying, but to be honest it isn't really worth the effort.
Now head back to the Dark Portal to complete your circuit.

Start at the entrance to Zangarmarsh and head north round all the elite giants (really need to be level 68+ to avoid too much aggro) and loop east to the Temple of Telhamat. If your Alliance, ride/fly straight past. Horde should just detour slightly round to the south. Now head up into Mag'har Post and back down and around in The Pools of Aggonar. Complete a circuit of the pools and then head south to the Citadel. Drop down and then back up again and head toward the south eastern edge of The Great Fissure. Do a quick clockwise circuit of The Great Fissure and then head south and up into the Stonescythes main nesting area. Drop down into the Den Haal'esh and then north and east, following the mountains along to the Ruins of Sha'Naar.

You could also carry on mining Thorium. Rich Thorium viens will still be green until about 340. So refer back to the 1 to 300 guide for routes.

330 - 355
Mining Fel Iron and Adamantite
Estimated number of nodes to mine = 25

Move onto Nagrand for Adamantite mining and more Fel Iron mining.

Start at the entrance to Terokkar Forest and head west past Kil'Sorrow Fortress and round the back of Telaar and onto Oshu'gun. Follow the mountains round and upto the Ancestral Grounds. Now head east following the road down towards Telaar. Head east before Telaar and drop down into the valley that leads toward the Ring of Trials. Carry on heading east to the Windy Reed Village then head south and continue past the Burning Blade Ruins and back to your strating point.

Start at the entrance to Zangarmarsh and head east past the Laughing Skull Ruins and on toward the Throne of Elements. If your flying, scope out the Elemental Plateau for the nodes that spawn there. Now head back tot eh north side of Garadar and head towards Halaa. Drop down into the valley and pick up the nodes in the cave and then back up into Sunspring Post. Head towards the Ancestral Grounds and then north past the Forge Camps and up to Warmaul Hill. It's worth going through the main cave in Warmaul Hill as there is nearly always 2-4 nodes in there.

355 - 375
Mining Fel Iron and Adamantite
Estimated nymber of nodes to mine = 30

You can stay in Nagrand and repeat the above routes, but this time picking up all the Rich adamantite nodes you had to leave or you could:

Move onto Shadowmoon Valley.
Easiest route is to just follow the main road round in a circuit. Simple really, but I'll list a couple of the shorter routes I do as well, which really require a flying mount.

Starting at the Sanctum of the Stars, head south following the Path of Conquest to the edge of the world. Now go south east and over to Netherwing Ledge. Do a quick circuit and head back towards Dragonmaw Fortress area. Aim towards the Wardens Cage and then back down to the Snactum of the Stars.

Start at the entrance to Terokkar Forest and head north past Shadowmoon Village and onto Coilskar point. There is a cave here that normally has at least one node in, but I don't normally bother. Fly up to the Shattered Fields and then round the back of the Altar of Sha'tar. Now aim towards the Coilskar's to the south of Sha'tar and loop round The Hand of Gul'dan and onto The Deathforge. I find it's worth the effort to clear all the mobs inside for the number of nodes that are normally there, but you may not want to be bothered. Now head south west to Illidari Point and then north to the Legion Hold and back to where you started.
