WoW Profession Guide: Mining (Page2)
By Kristina Johnson

It should be noted that you can only craft Bronze by combining 1 copper ore with 1tin ore, and you
can only craft Steel by combining 1 iron ore with 1 coal. Dark Iron ore can not be smelted by any
normal means it requires a special process which I will explain later.

heart’s content.

Location and Purpose of Special Veins:
Rethban Ore - Any Copper or Tin mine in Redridge Mountains will drop these randomly.
Rethban Ore's for a quest given by Foreman Oslow, in Redridge Mountains. He should be located at
the southeast side of Lakeshire. This isn't really related to mining, since mobs will drop it just as
frequently, but I added it by request.

Incendicite - Wetlands, in the cave directly north of Dun Algaz on the map.
Incendicite is the objective of the alliance quest Search for Incendicite, which is given to you by Pilot
Stonegear in Dun Morogh.

Indurium - Inside Uldaman, in the various tunnels.
Indurium is the objective of the neutral quest Indurium Ore given by Pozzik at the race track in
Thousand Needles.

Lesser Bloodstone - Arathi Highlands, in the northeast corner of the map.
Lesser Bloodstone Ore is the objective of the alliance quest Favor for Krazek, given by Krazek in
Booty Bay.

Dark Iron - In Blackrock Depths and Molten Core, deposits can be found in any of the numerous
caverns. You can also find a occasionally rare deposit in Searing Gorge or Burning Steppes (more
often in Burning Steppes but still rare).
