Mining - Missing Step

[mvillaizan]

After the step 18 in the Minning Guide (you have reached skill 175), it sends you to Booty Bay and then to Kalimdor, but you dont have learned the Artisian Miner skill so you wont be able to complete the next step in Kalimdor that takes you to level minning to skill 275.

Added this to our bug listing.

I looked at the guide files and can confirm this. Between the skill mining 175 and skill mining 275 there's no visit to the trainer.

I recommend to insert a visit to Gadgetzan as there's a mining trainer too:

The same applies to the Horde guide as it also sends you to Un'Goro for Mining 175-275.

Problem is, there're steps to take before learning Artisian Miner cus at the point you get skill 175 and get to Kalimdor you wont be able to mine anything cus Ungoro only have Thorium and you'll need a skill of 200 in order to mine the nodes, so there's a route missing where maybe it leads you to mine Mithril and get 200 skill and then you'll be ready to learn Artisian.

OK, didn't know that since I did not level a mining character after Cata.
Badlands seems to be a good spot to farm Mithril for both factions:

Either that or you can hit up 1k Needles for Mithril. The problem is there used to be Mithril in Ungoro but that's been changed and the guide needs to have a new Mithril zone added to it.

This has been fixed and should be sent out in the next update.

I disagree with Badlands, the better area to farm would be Searing Gorge as you only get mithril there and so long as you stay to the outside edge you can get to 175 quite quickly.
