Things you should know before choosing to become a Miner:

If your primary profession is either Blacksmithing or Engineering, Mining is practically a prerequisite. Both professions require materials that can only be acquired through Mining. You could choose to not take up Mining as your second profession, but consequently you¡®ll have to spend an inpractical amount of money on the materials you need to raise your Blacksmithing and Engineering.

Mining is a great way to make money compared to some other professions. Unless you intend to take up Leatherworking, Mining is a good profession to consider. The only way to make large amounts of money through mining is by selling Arcane Crystals and Blood of the Mountain in the Auction House. Both items are extremely rare, however, and you shouldn¡®t become a miner solely to farm them.

Your success with Mining will be based largely on how lucky you are. I know people who have found two Arcane Crystals in one Rich Thorium Vein, while I¡®ve only found one in my whole career as a miner. You can make a decent amount of money by selling the normal ore you find in any vein. However, how much money you make will be based largely on your server¡®s population. If you play on a high population server, it will be more difficult to find veins, and the prices for your ore won¡®t be as high as they are on other servers.

Unlike other professions, Mining is based largely on luck. If you¡®re the kind of person who loves to gamble, Mining is definitely for you. You never know if that next vein could hold a valuable gem, which adds a suspenseful and addictive quality to it. I¡®ve personally stayed up far past my bedtime on several nights, because you never know...that next Rich Thorium Vein may have an Arcane Crystal inside.
