Mining Copper Ore

Farming Copper Ore is an awesome way to make some wow gold for low level players with mining as a profession. When I was a low level player I could afford pretty much anything I wanted that was available to my level. This was all because of Copper Ore. Copper Ore can be sold for 1-3 gold a stack depending on your server. If you smelt it into bars it will be worth slightly more. I could farm 3-4 stacks of the ore when I was a level five. Thats a pretty high amount of gold for such a low level player to earn.

I have found that the best place to mine Copper Ore is in the northern mountain borders of Elwynn Forest. There are at least 30 mines in the mountains and rock bluffs throughout Elwynn Forest. You will even find a few mines in the lakes and rivers in the region. While mining the ore you will also come across lots of Rough Stone which can be sold for around 20 silver. The occasional Malachite and Tigers Eye can also be farmed to make wow gold.

In the Sentinal Hill area of Westfall there are some more Copper Mines. There are not near as many as Elwynn Forest, but you can still get a decent amount of Copper there. I usually mine this area and kill the abundant Defias Trappers for copper, cloth, and experience points.
