I actually combine two of my routes here, if I have time. They are as follows:

Start at The Crossroads and head West towards the entrance of Stonetalon Mountains. Then head south, hugging the cliffs as you go. Follow the cliffs all the way down south until you reach Blackthorn Ridge, just north of Razorfen Kraul. Follow the cliff to the main road and over. Continue heading east and then north up to the entrance to Dustwallow Marsh. Carry on going north until you reach Northwatch Hold and then head up to the Raptor Hills and the Quilboar Village. Now head back to The Crossroads.

Start at the bottom of the Great Lift in Thousand Needles and head northwest up to Camp Ethok, following the cliff face as you go. Continue on till you reach the border of Thousand Needles and Feralas, then head over to the other side of Thousand Needles and follow the cliffs south. Make a detour when you reach Highperch, as there are a couple of Tin / Iron veins here. Carry on heading south until you reach The Screeching Canyon. Have a quick run into the cave here and pick the couple veins that normally spawn here. Continue south past Freewind Post and all the way to Windbreak Canyon. Now head north, again hugging the cliff face as you go and make your way up to Splithoof Crag. There is a Centaur Village here, with a cave that can have 4 or 5 veins (both Iron and Tin). Mine it. Carry on north past Darkcloud Pinnacle and back to the Great Lift.

Combine the two routes above for a 90-minute (ish) trek that can net 100+ copper, 50-70 Tin and 30-40 Iron.

There only two other places that I bother mining for Tin and that is:

Hillsbrad Foothills: No route here, just do full circuits.

Ashenvale: Again no real route, just do full circuits.

But you could also try the following places:

Wetlands: Start at Dun Modr and follow the cliffs to the southeast down towards Raptor Ridge. From here either go around Grim Batol, if you’re a high enough level to cope, or follow the cliffs towards Mosshide Fen and onto The Igan Rock. Once there head over to Dun Algaz, then north to Angerfang Encampment and onto Whelgar’s Excavation Site. Now head north past Ironbeards Tomb and back to Dun Modr.

Redridge Mountains: Start in Lakeshire, head north to Rethban Caverns and follow up to Renders Camp. Head south and follow cliffs to Alther’s Mill. Carry on east towards The Tower of Ilgalar and then loop round that and to the south, heading towards Renders Valley. Carry on to Lakeridge Highway and over to The Three Corners. Now head back to Lakeshire.

Mining 126 – 175

Mining Iron and Gold

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 100

*At level 125, go back to the mining trainer and learn Expert Mining.

From now on both Horde and Alliance can follow this guide easily, so I won’t have separate sections.

Do the Thousand Needle route above, but take in The Shimmering Flats as well this time.

Desolace: If you’re Horde, start at Shadowprey Village and head into the Valley of Spears. Follow that through and out and over to the Kodo Graveyard (you could do a quick circle or move on here). Head east to the Magram Village and loop round and down to Shadowbreak Ravine. Follow that through and onto the Mannoroc Coven to the west. Carry on west to the Gelkis Village and make your way back to Shadowprey Village. If you’re Alliance, then start at Nijel’s Point and head southeast to Sargeron, then south to the Kolkar Village. From here you could carry on down south and complete the Horde run or head west to the Kodo Graveyard. From the Kodo Graveyard, head northwest to Ethel Rethor and then northeast ish to Thunderaxe Fortress. Follow round to the north and up to Tethris Aran and then back east to Nijel’s Point.

Ashenvale: start at the entrance to Ashenvale from The Barrens and head to the west. Skip round the Battleground entrance (only if your Horde) and carry on to the river. Follow the river north, trying to keep as close to bank as possible, so that you can see spawns on both sides of the river. Keep following the river till you get to just before Xavian in the north. Now head east to the next river and cross over to Saytrnaar and onto Forest Song (watch out for those elites). Now head south through the Warsong Logging Camp if your Horde or skirt around it if your Alliance and continue on down through Felfire Hill and onto Demon Fall Canyon. Now head west through Nightsong Woods and back to your start point.

Badlands: start at Apocryphens Rest and head south to Camp Cagg, then east to Mirage Flats. Now follow cliff face all way to Camp Boff, past Agmonds End. Head north past Dustwind Gulch and onto Hammertoes Dig site and then northwest to Angor Fortress. Now follow the cliffs west all the way to Kargath (or just before it, if Alliance) and back down to Apocryphens Rest. Remember to divert off slightly at each point where the Rock Elementals gather and do a quick tour of their spawn spots.

Arathi Highlands: start at Thandoll Span and head east then north to Boulderfist Hall. Follow cliffs round to Witherbark Village and continue north up to Hammerfall. If you’re Horde, loop round the back of Hammerfall and continue on to the west. If your Alliance, go as far Drywhisker Gorge (remember to check inside, both Horde and Alliance) and then loop round Hammerfall to the south and back up to the northern cliffs. Follow cliffs west to Dabyries Farmstead and then head south past Refuge Point and back down to Thandoll Span.

Alterac Mountains: start at the entrance to the Ruins of Alterac and head west past the Growless Cave. Follow the ridge around the ruins and keep going to the end. Now drop down to the coast (you can make a series of jumps to get down, without dying). Now head north to Dandreds Fold. Head east through The Uplands, zigzagging between the two cliff faces as you go until you get to Strahnbrad. Now follow the road back to your starting point. If you’re a high enough level, go into the ruins and do a quick sweep.

Stranglethorn Vale: couple of small but good routes here. First one is to the north of Grom’gol Base Camp. Start at Nessingwarys Expedition and follow the hills around the front of the three sets of ruins (Kalai, Balal and Zuuldaia) and then back round to the north of them and return to Nessingwarys Expedition. Second route starts at Kurzens Compound to the north of Zul’Gurub entrance. After a quick circle around the compound, head south down to Mosh’Ogg Ogre Mound. If you’re a high level, then do a sweep of the cave and carry on south to the Ruins of Zulmamwe. Keep heading south past the Crystalvein Mine and the Ruins of Aboraz. Carry on into the Mistvale Valley, now heading west towards the main road. From here either head to Booty Bay or follow the road back up north to your starting point.

Swamp of Sorrows: couple of nice little spots here. Check around Ithariuss Cave where the Green Whelps are and also around The Stagalbog. Remember to check inside the Stagalbog.

Optional choice for 155-175 (Thanks to Cenelia on EU-Hellscream for this)

If you have a fair amount of gold ore, you can smelt it from 155-175, as it is orange at 155.


Mining 176 – 250

Mining Mithril and Truesilver

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 125

*At level 225, go back to the mining trainer and learn Artisan Mining.

So now we come the real money making stuff, Mithril. This stuff is used in such quantities by Engineering and Blacksmithing that you will always sell what you mine for a good profit.

Blasted Lands: just do full circuits, simple.

Searing Gorge: again, just do full circuits. You can do what I do and do a full circuit of the perimeter of Searing Gorge, then drop down into The Cauldron and do a circuit of that (inside and outside). Also remember that at level 230, you can mine Dark Iron, so pick that up too.

Badlands: two good places here. First is Camp Cagg. Just do a circuit round it, taking in the Rock Elementals spawn point as you go. Second place is Lethlor Ravine. If you start by the Master Dragonscale Leatherworker and head into the Ravine and loop round to the north and back out and south past Uldaman back entrance, then you’ll pick up a good amount of Mithril.

The Hinterlands: start at Aerie Peak and follow the cliff face to the south and east. Now just go around the south cliff face until your get past Jintha’Alor, then north up to Seradane and then west back to Aerie Peak.

Western Plaguelands: do circuits of the Ruins of Andorhal.

Azshara: start at the Legash Encampment and head east to the Bitter Reaches. Loop round to the north and back west along the coast past the Jagged Reef and then back down to the Lagash Encampment again.

Winterspring: start at the Timbermaw tunnel entrance and follow the cliffs to the east past the Hot Springs and all the way over to Starfall Village. Just before you get there, head south to Lake Kel’Theril and then follow the cliffs west all the way back to your starting point.

Felwood: only if your there. Don’t go out of way to mine here, but if you happen to be in the area (i.e. grinding Timbermaw rep) then look out for a few Mithril nodes here.

Stonetalon Mountains: quick circuit of The Charred Vale can net you 10-15 Mithril ores.

Desolace: grab yourself some underwater breathing potions and head to Ranzajar Isle. There’s a good number of Mithril nodes in the sunken ruins round here and very few people mine them. You can also take a run through the Valley of Spears and down to Mannoroc Coven to pick up the Mithril nodes there.

Tanaris: bit of a long one this, but can be well worth it. Do full circuits of Tanaris, but drop down into The Noxious Lair and The Gaping Chasm to pick up the nodes that virtually nobody mines, unless they are questing in there.

Mining 251 – 300

Mining Thorium

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 160

Un’goro Crater: just go round and round the crater, making sure you drop down into The Slithering Scar and take a detour into Fire Plume Ridge. There is loads of Thorium to be had here, which is why its farmed constantly, so you will be competing for nodes here.

Azshara: start at the Ravencrest Monument and follow the coastal cliff all the way round to the Tower of Eldra. Then head back west to the Legash Encampment in a zigzag pattern from coast to coast. You may also want to drop into the Ruins of Eldarath and pick up the couple of nodes that spawn there. Azshara isn’t the greatest place to mine Thorium, due to its natural geography, but that does mean its less popular and therefore your likely to have less competition.

Winterspring: start at Everlook and head south to the Ice Thistle Hills. Make a quick sweep of the yeti cave here and then back out and to the south. Keep going till you get to Owl Wing Thicket and make a small circuit there. Now you can either carry on south into Frostwhisper and Darkwhisper Gorge’s if your happy about avoiding the elites there, or you can head west over to Mazthoril for the slightly lower level elite area. Once at Mazthoril, you can either sweep the main cave (only recommended for Druids, Rogues or Hunters) or carry on up to Lake Kel’Theril and back round to Everlook.

Blasted Lands: not a massive amount of Thorium to be had here, but good for a quick run, whilst your looking for Mithril.

Searing Gorge: same as the Mithril run above.

Burning Steppes: http://www.rickydejong.com/Fotos/orchidius.png - Thanks to Orchidius on EU-Sylvanas for this map. Nice one mate :).

Eastern Plaguelands: start at Tyr’s Hand and head north past Lights Hope Chapel. Go past The Noxious Glade and onto Northdale. Head west to Northpass Tower and then south to Blackwood Lake. Carry on south to the Pestilent Scar and then onto Lake Mereldar and back to your starting point. You may want to throw in a quick diversion to The Fungal Vale, in between Northpass Tower and Blackwood Lake.

Western Plaguelands: start at The Weeping Cave and head south to Gahrrons Withering and then west to Dalsons Tears. Head northwest from here to the edge of Felstone Field and follow the cliffs north into the Northridge Lumber Camp. Follow the path up towards Hearthglen and then double back once you reach the watchtower. Head south and follow the cliffs all the way back round to The Weeping Cave.

Skinning 1 to 300 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas


I would seriously suggest that you wait until your level 50+ before trying this, as it'll will takes you ages to complete at lower levels (unless of course you have a couple of level 50+ friends who don’t mind grinding mobs for you to skin). I've tried to list mobs that should be yellow or orange for your skinning level. If they are green, move onto the next zone listed.

Please note that even if a mob is red/orange to you, that this DOES NOT guarantee that you'll get a skill up. It's more likely, but not to be expected every time.

Alchemy 300 to 375 by Highlander on EU-Terenas


300 - 310
Volatile Healing Potion (1 x Golden Sansam, 1 x Felweed, 1 x Imbued Vial) x 10

310 - 325
Elixir of Healing Power (1 x Golden Sansam, 1 x Dreaming Glory, 1 x Imbued Vial) x 15

325 - 350
Mad Alchemists's Potion (2 x Rageveil, 1 x Crystal Vial) x 40

350 - 375
Major Dreamless Sleep Potion (1 x Dreaming Glory, 1 x Nightmare Vine, 1 x Imbued Vial) x 40
Goes green at 370, but it's easier to skill up on this, now that it's in the game, than use low drop rate

recipes or faction rewards.
Can be bought from Leeli Longhaggle in Allerian Stronghold (Terokkar Forest) for Alliance and from Daga Ramba in

Thunderlord Stronghold (Blade's Edge Mountains) for Horde players.

Blacksmithing 300 to 375 by Highlander on EU-Terenas

330 - 335
Fel Iron Breastplate (10 x Fel Iron Bar) x 5

335 - 340
Adamantite Cleaver (8 x Adamantite Bar) x 5
N.B. This is a limited supply recipe sold by either of the following:
Aaron Hollman - Shattrath City
Arras - The Exodar
Eriden - Silvermoon City

340 - 345
Lesser Rune of Shielding (1 x Adamantite Bar) x 10
N.B. This is a limited supply recipe sold by either of the following:
Mari Stonehand - Wildhammer Stronghold (Shadowmoon Valley)
Rohok - Thrallmar (Hellfire Peninsula)

345 - 350
Adamantite Cleaver (8 x Adamantite Bar) x 8

350 - 360
Adamantite Weightstone (1 x Adamantite Bar, 2 x Netherweave Cloth) x 20
Requires Honoured rep with Cenarion Expedition, which is fairly easy to get

N.B. from 360 onwards it gets tough to get recipes that will skill you up, as trainers won't teach you anything worthwhile. Everything that

will skill you up past 360, is either a random drop pattern or a rep reward. The two best and cheapest ways are to get Scryers or Aldors rep.

Aldors Rep Path

360 - 370
Flamebane Gloves (8 x Fel Iron Bars, 4 x Primal Water, 4 x Primal fire) x 10
Requires Aldors honoured rep to buy pattern and it's BoP

370 - 375
Flamebane Breastplate (16 x Fel Iron Bars, 6 x Primal Water, 4 x Primal Fire) x 5
Requires Aldors revered rep to buy pattern and it's BoP


Scryers Rep Path

360 - 375
Enchanted Adamantite Belt (2 x Hardened Adamantite Bars, 8 x Arcane Dust, 2 x Large Prismatic Shards) x 20
Requires Scryers friendly rep to buy pattern and it's BoP

Alternatively, you could keep running Auchenai Crypts for the Felsteel Gloves. It's entirely possible for any class with decent DPS to solo farm

for these plans. All it takes is a bit of careful timing. The mob that drops it is called an Auchenai Monk and if you enter the instance a look

for the first one you can see, you'll notice that after a while he will end up on a spot on his own. Careful make your way to this spot by timing

your runs past the patrols and pull and fight him there. Normally takes between 10 and 20 attempts for the plans to drop, so with the 5 dungeons

per hour rule, this should only take you about 3 to 4 hours to get.

360 - 375
Felsteel Gloves (6 x Felsteel Bars) x 15


Approximate Materials Required


Aldors Rep Path

305 x Fel Iron Bar
144 x Adamantite Bar
45 x Netherweave Cloth
70 x Primal Water
60 x Primal Fire


Scryers Rep Path

134 x Fel Iron Bar
144 x Adamantite Bar
45 x Netherweave Cloth
40 x Hardened Adamantite Bars (That's 400 x Adamantite Bars)
160 x Arcane Dust
40 x Large Prismatic Shards

Cooking 300 to 375 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

Horde

First you need to learn Master Cooking, so go see Baxter in the tavern in Thrallmar and buy the Master Cooking Manual.


300 to 325
Buy the recipe for Ravager Dogs from Cookie One-Eye in Thrallmar (by the stables) and then go kill Ravagers around Falcon Watch until you have about 35-40 meat.

325 to 350
Two choices here.
1). Go buy the Roasted Clefthoof recipe from Nula the Butcher in Garadar (Nagrand) and then kill Clefthoofs around Nagrand for about 35-40 meat or:
2). Go buy the Warp Burger recipe from Innkeeper Grilka in Stonebreaker Hold (Terokkar Forest) and then kill Warp Stalkers/Hunters around Terokkar Forest for about 35-40 meat.

350 to 375
This part really is a problem at the moment. The best way to get to 375 at the moment is by fishing up Furious Crawdads in one of three lakes around Terokkar Forest and then cooking them. However, these lakes are only accessible if you have a flying mount.
The three lakes are:
Lake Jorune - north west of Stonebreaker Hold.
Lake Ere'Noru - south east of Allerian Stronghold.
Blackwind Lake - in the south east corner of the map, in the Skettis area.
You can buy the recipe from Rungor in Stonebreaker Hold.
You also need a 430+ fishing skill to be able to fish there.
However, you can go to Blade's Edge Mountains and find an NPC called Matron Varah (she's in the Inn in Mok'nathal Village) who gives you a quest to get her Raptor Ribs and Serpent Flesh. Once you complete it, she'll give you the recipe for Crunchy Serpent, which will stay green until 375. You can now kill Scalewing's around Blade's Edge Mountains for Serpent Flesh. You will need about 60 to get to 375. Can also be bought by both factions from Xerintha Ravenoak at Evergrove in Blades Edge Mountains.

To be honest though, when you get to 350, start doing the daily cooking quest everyday and choose the fish barrel as your reward and you will tend to get a few Enormous Barbed Gill Trout and Huge Spotted Feltail which stay yellow until 375.

Alliance

First you need to learn Master Cooking, so go see Gaston in Honor Hold and buy the Master Cooking Manual.

300 to 325
Buy the recipe for Ravager Dogs from Sid Limbardi in Honor Hold and then go kill Ravagers around Falcon Watch until you have about 35-40 meat.

325 to 350
Two choices here.
1). Go buy the Roasted Clefthoof recipe from Uriku in Telaar (Nagrand) and then kill Clefthoofs around Nagrand for about 35-40 meat or:
2). Go buy the Warp Burger recipe from Supply Officer Mills in Allerian Stronghold (Terokkar Forest) and then kill Warp Stalkers/Hunters around Terokkar Forest for about 35-40 meat.

350 to 375

Lake Jorune - north west of Stonebreaker Hold.
Lake Ere'Noru - south east of Allerian Stronghold.
Blackwind Lake - in the south east corner of the map, in the Skettis area.
You can buy the recipe from Innkeeper Biribi in Allerian Stronghold.
However, you can go to Toshley's Station in Blade's Edge Mountains and find an NPC called Sassa Weldwell. She will sell you the recipes for Crunchy Serpent and Mok'nathal Treats. These stay green until 375. You can now kill Scalewing's and Raptors around Blade's Edge Mountains for Serpent Flesh and Raptor Ribs. You will need about 60 to get to 375. Can also be bought by both factions from Xerintha Ravenoak at Evergrove in Blades Edge Mountains.

Engineering 300 to 375 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

300 - 310
Your going to need 55 x Fel Iron Casing, 270 x Handful of Fel Iron Bolts and 35 x Elemental Blasting Powder, so just make all that first and you'll get to 310+.
For every point you go past 310, reduce the the number of items you make by 1 x Fel Iron Casing, 2 X Handful of Fel Iron Bolts and 1 x Elemental Blasting Powder. i.e. the mats required to make Fel Iron Bombs.

310 - 320
Fel Iron Bomb (1 x Fel Iron Casing, 2 x Handful of Fel Iron Bolts, 1 x Elemental Blasting Powder) x 10

320 - 335
Fel Iron Musket (1 x Heavy Stock, 3 x Fel Iron Casing, 6 x Handful of Fel Iron Bolts) x 15

White Smoke Flare (1 x Netherweave Cloth, 1 x Elemental Blasting Powder) x 25

350 - 360
Khorium Power Core (3 x Khorium Bars, 1 x Primal Fire) x 20
It is already yellow when you learn it, but this doesn't turn grey until 370. So after making the 20 you need for the next part, you should be past 360 :)

Fishing and Cooking 300 to 375 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas


Ok, first things first. A quick shopping trip.
Buy lures!! +75's preferably.
Now go and buy the Master Cookbook, to give yourself master cooking level.
If your Horde, buy it from Baxter in Thrallmar (Hellfire Peninsula).
If your Alliance, buy it from Gaston in Honorhold (Hellfire Peninsula).

Now go buy Master Fishing - The Art of Angling from Juno Dufrain in Cenarion Refuge (Zangarmarsh).

Now go buy Recipe: Blackened Trout.
If your Horde, buy it from Gambarinka in Zabra'jin (Zangarmarsh).
If your Alliance, buy it from Doba in Orebor Harborage (Zangarmarsh). Whilst your here buy Recipe: Feltail Delight.

Horde can go back to Swamprat Post and buy Recipe: Feltail Delight from Zurai.

Head back to Cenarion Refuge and fish for Barbed Gill Trout and Spotted Feltail.
You only need to catch about 25 in total too get your cooking up to 320. Your fishing level will probably only be about 305 by this stage, if your lucky (it's a long, slow process and not for the easily bored).
Cook up the Trout and Feltails.

Now take a trip to see Nula the Butcher in Garadar if your Horde or Uriku in Telaar if your Alliance. Both in Nagrand. Buy Recipe: Poached Bluefish and find a nice quiet spot in Nagrand to fish for Icefin Bluefish. Your really going to need to have lures attached here, unless you spent a lot more time in Zangarmarsh fishing.
Keep fishing till you have about 40 Bluefish and then cook them to take your cooking to 350.

Ok, the next bit requires a flying mount, as the only recipe that will take you to 375 easily is Spicy Crawdads which requires Furious Crawdads. They are only found in one of three lakes in Terokkar forest. All of which can only be accessed with a flying mount.
The three lakes are:
Lake Jorune - north west of Stonebreaker Hold.
Lake Ere'Noru - south east of Allerian Stronghold.
Blackwind Lake - in the south east corner of the map, in the Skettis area.

If your Alliance, go see Innkeeper Biribi in Allerian Stronghold (Terokkar Forest) and buy Recipe: Spicy Crawdad.
Horde go see Rungor in Stonebreaker Hold (Terokkar Forest) and buy Recipe: Spicy Crawdad.

You'll need to catch about 30 Furious Crawdads to max out your cooking.

*Update* - Blizzard added recipes for Hot Buttered Trout and Fisherman's Feast. Both of which stay orange till 375. Unfortunately the main component is so far harder to fish up than Crawdads. Hopefully this will change. But if you get any Enormous Barbed Gill Trout or Huge Spotted Fetail then cook them. The recipes are taught by the barmaid in the World's End Tavern in Shattrath City.


By this point, your fishing will probably only be about level 320. But you may as well stay in Terokkar Forest and fish for Golden Darters. When cooked, these give a +44 healing and +20SPI buff, so they are great to sell to healing classes.
Or you can head back to Nagrand and fish for Figluster's Mudfish, which give a +20AGI and +20SPI buff when cooked.
Either way, to get to 375 your going to have to make about 650 successful catches. That should take a normal person about 8 hours, so you'll want to break that up into something like 30-60 minute chunks, spread out over a period of time.
Remember that it does not matter where you fish, your skill up rate will remain the same. It's all based on successful catches. So fish anywhere you want and you'll still get skill ups.

Herbalism 300 to 375 Guide by Kharne on EU-Bronzebeard

Just threw this together really quickly, if it's of use to anyone I'm glad, if it's not then just ignore it.

300-330 (or 345 if you so choose) - Felwood

I know you were all probably hoping for something a lot more exotic and in the outlands, but Felwood really is the place to go if your looking at it purely from a levelling perspective. Due to the hit of TBC there's virtually nobody farming herbs here and you get the bonus of Whipper Roots etc. which while out dated, still aren't on the same timer as pots, so if your a raider they can save your ass.
I generally start at the alliance flight path, going up round the Furblog village before following the perimeter south. I've included a map for anyone unsure of a route to go.

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee38/Kharnivore/FelwoodHerbRoute.jpg

Pick absolutely everything that is even green to you. Plaguebloom, Dreamfoil and Mountain Silversage give about a level each bush until 330, and whilst the plague that is Sungrass, Arthas' Tears and Purple Lotus are green, they still give a level fairly consistently so it's definitely worth picking them. If memory serves somewhere around 340 Plaguebloom goes green, and you start to get levels less consistently, however you may choose to stay on, especially if you don't have an epic flying mount, for the densely packed herbs, and low demand by pickers, all the time remembering that Golden Sansam, Mountain Silversage and Dreamfoil still sell very well on most servers.

330 (or 345) - 350+ - Zangarmarsh

Zangarmarsh is simply packed with herbs, all of which are useful. My favourite are is the North-West corner, being packed with herbs and Bog Lords / Giants which can be herbalised (If that's even a word) once looted. I tend to zigzag across it, before moving to the start to do the same, however on more populated servers you may have someone else doing the same, so extending your route to sweep up from the south-west and across the northern border can yield great rewards too. Expect lots of Felweed and Ragveil, with the odd Dreamfoil and Dreaming Glory.

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee38/Kharnivore/ZangarHerbRoute.jpg

I've included a map despite this route being fairly self-explanatory as with the last one.
Once you hit 350 the world is your oyster really. I chose to continue my Zangarmarsh route all the way up to level 375, but it is equally viable to move on to Shadowmoon or elsewhere.

*I'm still trying to find a host site for these pictures that will cope with the traffic. Meanwhile download the PDF version, as the pics are in that.

350-355

Jagged Talasite

Really, just make 10-15 of whatever you have the materials and recipes for. There is so much choice and it's pointless me tying you down to just one or two choices.
They all take just one of each gem, so I won't bother listing all the mats as it's pretty obvious.

355-360
Your stuck with trying to get world drop recipes here. The two most common drops are as follows:

Living Ruby Pendant (4 x Khorium Bars, 1 x Mercurial Adamantite, 1 x Living Ruby) x 5
or
Thick Felsteel Necklace (2 x Felsteel Bars, 3 x Mercurial Adamantite) x 5

The Thick Felsteel Necklace is obviously the most desirable to get, as it's the cheapest to make. There are other recipes out there to fill this levelling gap, so if you happen to get one of those, use that instead.

360-365
The next bit requires being honoured with The Sha'tar:
Ring of Arcane Shielding (2 x Eternium Bars, 8 x Primal Mana) x 5
or
You could go and farm Vekh'nir Dreadhawk's in Blade's Edge Mountains and hope the following drops:
Khorium Band of Leaves (2 x Khorium Bars, 4 x Mercurial Adamantite, 3 x Primal Life) x 5

365-375
If your raiding Kharazan and you have a lot of Alchemist transmuting Diamonds, then use those to skill up the last 10 points. There's a 60min CD on making each one, but it's still fairly easy for a raid guild's Jewelcrafting to finish skilling up on. Otherwise your stuck with using rare world drop recipes again.

365-370
Embrace of the Dawn (2 x Eternium Bars, 4 x Mercurial Adamantite, 2 x Golden Draenite) x 5
This seems to be the most common recipe on the AH. It's not cheap, but if you don’t have anything else to skill up on, it's your best choice.
There are a few other rare world drop recipes that need 365 skill. So if you get any of those, then use them instead.

370-375
Of all the recipes available at 370. Probably the easiest to make is probably Figurine - Felsteel Boar, but that requires Lower City revered rep. So I'll list the next best ones in terms of rep.

Figurine - Talasite Owl (2 x Eternium Bars, 2 x Talasite, 4 x Primal Mana) x 5
Requires Sha'tar revered rep.
or
Figurine - Dawnstone Crab (4 x Khorium Bars, 2 x Dawnstones, 4 x Golden Draenite) x 5
Requires Honour Hold/Thrallmar revered rep.



I'm not going to bother listing the total materials needed to go from 300-375, as it varies wildly depending on what you had to hand.

Leatherworking 300 to 375 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas


300-310
Knothide Leather (5 x Knothide Leather Scraps) x 20 = 100 x Knothide Leather Scraps
N.B. make as many as it takes to get to 310. Your going to need around 975 Knothide leather, so you may as well get the skill up points for this.

310-320
Wild Draenish Gloves (9 x Knothide Leather, 3 x Rune Thread) x 10

320-325
Thick Draenic Boots (10 x Knothide Leather, 3 x Rune Thread) x 5

325-335
Heavy Knothide Leather (5 x Knothide Leather) x 195
Your going to need 195 later on, so get the skill up points for making it.

335-340
Thick Draenic Vest (14 x Knothide Leather, 3 x Rune Thread) x 5

340-355
Felscale Breastplate (14 x Knothide Leather, 3 x Fel Scales, 3 x Rune Thread) x 15

355-365
Heavy Knothide Armor Kit (3x Heavy Knothide Leather) x 25

365-375
Drums of Battle (6 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 4 x Thick Clefthoof Leather) x 20
Requires Sha'tar Honoured rep


Approximate Materials Required

100x Knothide Leather Scraps
420x Knothide Leather
195x Heavy Knothide Leather
105x Rune Thread
45x Fel Scales
80x Thick Clefthoof Leather

The leather works out as follows:
195x Heavy Knothide Leather = 975x Knothide Leather = 4875x Knothide Leather Scraps.
420x Knothide Leather = 2100x Knothide Leather Scraps.

So, that’s a grand total of:
7075x Knothide Leather Scraps or
1395x Knothide Leather or
975x Knothide Leather and 195x Heavy Knothide Leather.

Mining 300 to 450 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 veins will still be green until about 340. So refer back to the 1 to 300 guide for routes.

330 - 350
Mining Fel Iron and Adamantite
Estimated number of nodes to mine = 20

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.

350 - 400
Mining Cobalt
Estimated number of nodes to mine = 60

You could stay in Nagrand and mine adamantite nodes, but it will go quicker if you move on to Northrend and mine cobalt.
If your level 77+ and have your flying mount, you'll want to go straight to Zul'drak, as it has the highest number of cobalt nodes. I'll describe a route later on for that.
If however, your lower than 77, go to either Howling Fjord or Borean Tundra.

Howling Fjord is as follows.
As a Horde player I start at the Apothecary Camp, but for the purpose of this guide I'll start at the bridge near Shield Hill in the south, as it's a close starting point for both factions.
From the bridge, face south east and follow the coast through Shield Hill and up round towards the Explorers League Outpost. There's a lot of mobs here and if I'm on a land mount I tend not to bother grabbing the one or two nodes that spawn here, but you never know, someone might be questing through here and there may be a clear path to them.
Keep following the coast line up past the lifts and take the time to drop down to Vengeance Landing if there's a couple of nodes down there. Continue north up through Giant's run and take a quick scout around the cave where Megalith roams.
Head south round the lake and take a quick trip round the Frozen Glade. Follow the road south from the Frozen Glade and head to the small island that's filled with Wolvars, just north of Utgarde Keep. One quick circuit and then go east across the river to the north of Nifflevar.
Head south and follow the river whilst keeping an eye out for nodes that spawn in the water. Keep going until you end up back where you started, at the bridge.
Now go across that brdige and head north, going between New Agamand and Valgarde and heading up through Halgrind. I now carry on riding north up past UK and jump into the river near the Wolvar island again and make my way up the cliffs and then head west towards Skorn.
From here, I head north and skirt round Fort Wildervar and Camp Winterhoof whilst making my way towards Gjalerbron. There can be a lot of nodes between here and Camp winterhoof, but the geography makes it a pain to get to them all with ease. So it's up to you how much time you spend in this area. Bear in mind it's also a major quest zone and there's nearly always 10-15 players questing round here.
After messing around in the mountains, I head west past Gjalerbron and follow the mountains round and down past Rivenwood and on towards the Apothercary Camp. Head down the cliff path just north of the camp and have a scout around the beach for some nodes, then go back up the path and keep following the cost line past Apothercary Camp and round until you get to the bridge (NOT the one that leads to Westguard Keep if your a Horde player, the next one).
Go past Ember Clutch whilst hugging the coast until you get to the Ancient Lift. Decision time here.
I personally like to jump on the lift and take a quick look around Kamagua. There's normally only one or two node spawns, but it doesnt take too long. If I've bothered to come here, I nearly always head out to Scallywag Island too. Again, there's only one or two spawns at a time here and without a flying mount it's slightly annoying to get to them.
Once done, get back on the lift and head south along the cost again. Follow the coast until you get back to the bridge, which was your orginal starting point. Now repeat.

For level 77+ players with flying mounts, go to Zul'drak and do the following.
I prefer to start around Ebon Watch. I then go past Zeramas and follow the path towards the Argent Stand.
Then head north, following the wall up to between Voltarus and the Altar of Sseratus. Go east to the Altar of Rhunok and then scout out the area directly south of that.
Now go north east all the way past Zol'maz Stronghold and check the area in front of Gundrak. Head south now to the Altar of Mam'toth and then carry on past the Altar of Quetz'lun and check the very edge of the map to the south of there.
Go west past the Altar of Har'koa and do a loop of the two "fields" around Kolramas. Fly on east, heading towards Light's Breach and Zeramas and back to your starting point.

Borean Tundra is also a very good place for cobalt and is slightly easier for players without flying mounts due to the geography.
If I'm on a land mount I tend to leave out Coldarra and most of the area around Warsong Hold and Amber Ledge, as I find myself wasting a lot of time trying to get up and down and around the hills.
So I generally start at the crossroads next to the Bloodspore Fields (where you drop off the alliance deserter).
I go south east, almost towards Valiance Keep and then follow the coast north up to Kaskala. Go through Kaskala and run parallel to the south of the road all the way past Death's Stand and up round past the Temple City and on to Talramas.
Keep following the cliffs, heading north west all the way to Bor'gorok Outpost. Scoot round that and check the fields full of elementals. I then head south towards the quarry and take a quick run round there.
Now at this point, if I'm in the mood, I'll grab the flight path and fly over to Coldarra and do a couple of circuits. If it's late at night I will almost certainly do this as there is likely to be around 6-7 nodes to be had.
Otherwise, I go from the quarry down past Harold Lane and check the lake for the nodes that spawn there.
Keep heading south and pick up nodes where you can through the hills to the south of Warsong Hold and all the way to the Plains of Nasam. I then take a ride along the coast through Riplash Strand and back up to my starting point.

400 - 450
Mining Cobalt and Saronite
Estimated number of nodes to mine = 60

Okay, if you don't have a flying mount then you're really stuck with one choice and that's to run around the very edge of Sholazar Basin mining Saronite nodes. It's pretty easy, but can take time, because loads of people do the exact same thing here and just stick to the outer edge of Sholazar.
If you have a flying mount then you're going to be doing the same thing except you will be able to quickly divert and scout around each of the five pillars.
A decent route of this is the following.
Start at the entrance to Sholazar Basin from Borean Tundra and head straight for the Mosslight Pillar. Circle round that and head back south to the edge of the basin and move east. When you get to the Skyreach Pillar, do a quick circuit round that and head back back to the edge.
Follow the cliffs all the way up to the Makers' Overlook and then go south west to the Lifeblood Pillar. Quick circuit round that and go north to the Avalanche. If there's only the non elites around these nodes, farm them, otherwise move on. You may get lucky and someone will be doing the quest round here. If they are the same faction as you, politely ask them to kill the mobs around the nodes here whilst you farm them.
After that, go north west up to the Savage Thicket and then south to the Glimmering Pillar. Do a circuit round that and then head back up north past the Savage Thicket and on to the the edge of the cliffs.
Follow the cliffs down to the Makers' Perch and then head south east to the Suntouched Pillar. Quick circuit round that and head over to Nessingwary's Camp.
Now follow the river east all the way to the Makers' Overlook. Follow the cliffs south down to the Skyreach Pillar and then follow the river north all the way up to the Savage Thicket.
Now follow the cliffs all the way south, back to your starting point.
Repeat until you hit 450 skill.

Skinning 300 to 450 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas


300 - 310
Hellboars around Hellfire Citadel in Hellfire Peninsula.

310 - 330
Ravagers around Falcon Watch in Hellfire Peninsula.

330 - 350
Talbuk's and Clefthoofs all over Nagrand.

350 - 410
Rhino's around Warsong Hold and Mammoth's around the D.E.H.T.A camp. Both in Borean Tundra. Good respawn rates and easy to get to both areas for both factions.
The nerubs around both starting faction camps are a great palce to start in northrend as they have a chance to skin chitin from them, which is used in leg patches.

410 - 450
Ideally you'll want to go to Sholazar Basin and grind the mobs around Nessingwary Camp (Rhinos, Mammonths, Cats and the drakes further north). This will quickly get you up to 450. The drakes have a chance to skin icy scales from, which are used for making leg patches.
However if your lower than level 76 and still want to max out your skinning, then head to Grizzly Hills. There are so many skinnable mobs around here, just pick an area of mobs that you can handle and go for it. I found it quite useful to check the areas around Conquest Hold and Amberpine Lodge, as there is a couple of quests to kill the mobs round there and I nearly always found I could follow people round, help them kill and skin the mobs after.

Skinning has been made a lot easier with the release of wrath (and rightly so, as the rate at which levelling was scaling in TBC would have meant it taking weeks to level by the time the next expansion is released).
You should find that orange level mobs will give you a skill up every 2-3 skins, yellow mobs every 3-5 and green mobs every 7-10.

Tailoring 300 to 450 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas
