Good! We continue with the professions. It is the turn of the mining in Legion. This gathering profession brings many new features such as the rank system, collecting techniques and specific missions. With this guide you will exploit your mining in Legion to the maximum.
Legion mining
Like the rest of the professions, the mining interface in Legion has been modified. Now we can easily see the collection techniques mastered, the ones we have left to learn, the range, etc.
New arrivals
As in Draenor, it will not be necessary to have a specific mining level in Legion in order to collect the new ore from the Abrupt Isles. From profession level 1 it will be possible to collect ore that we find in the steep islands and in this way our mining will level up to a Maximum of 800.
The interface has received numerous changes. Now it consists of 2 tabs; Learned and Not learned. It also has the filter and the search engine. In Legion mining techniques the ranks are shown with stars.
One of the highlights is that collecting ore in Legion will be less "competitive" than in the past. Now the ore that we find by the maps of the Abrupt Isles can be collected by many playersSo if someone goes ahead and minces a mineral before you, you can also mince that ore. This system has a limit, but it is no longer the classic "1 mineral, 1 person".
To learn mining we will go to Dalaran, specifically to Tanks for everything (blacksmith building). On the second floor we will find Mama diggs that the mining profession will teach us.
Collectable Materials
We have 2 types of collectible ore with mining in Legion; the Leystone Ore and Vile Slate. Both can be collected in all areas of the Rugged islands, and are obtained from different types of nodes.
Leystone Ore
La Leystone Ore it is very common and we can obtain it from the following nodes:
- Leystone Deposit: They are the classic deposits, we can find them outdoors on rocky surfaces, caves and under water. Rich deposits give more ore.
- Leystone Vein: Veins are mineral accumulations that contain a large amount of ores. The veins are found in walls with a rocky surface, usually in cave walls and at the bottom of rivers, lakes and underwater caves.
- Living Leystone: This is what Leystone minerals mined from creatures such as basilisks and elementals are called. On she is ready The usual creatures that can be minced for ore are found in the Broken Isles.
When we collect Leystone Ore we have a chance that a Leystone Basilisk and attack us. Killing him will give us extra ore. All players who attack this basilisk will get lawless ore, even if they are not miners.
Vile Slate
La Vile Slate It is rare, it is more common to find it in areas corrupted by fel energies and we will obtain it from the following nodes:
- Felslate Deposit: The nodes of all life. They are always found on rocky surfaces. Rich deposits give more mineral.
- Fel Slate Vein: The veins are always attached to the walls of rocky surfaces, both in caves and in the aquatic environment. They offer us a greater amount of Fel shale than the Fel Shale deposits.
- Living Fel Slate: They are the fel slate ores obtained from chopping living beings, commonly stone fel creatures such as basilisks, fel lords, etc. On she is ready There are all the common creatures of the Abrupt Isles that can be chipped to obtain Fel Slate.
When collecting Vile Slate may appear a felslate basilisk that will attack us. Killing him will give us more vile slate as loot. If a non-mining player attacks this basilisk, they will also get Fel Slate.
Other materials
In addition to the ores that we have mentioned, with mining in legion we can also obtain other materials.
- Hellish brimstone: If our mining level exceeds 100 and our character is 110, we can get this valuable material as a reward from mining specific world missions.
- Ancient mana: This currency will be useful to us in Suramar when we are level 110 to use it with the Highborne elves. Miners can get it from ancient mana deposits in Suramar. We can also obtain ancient mana from many other sources without using professions.
- Blood of Sargeras: With mining in Legion you can obtain said material by collecting Leystone ore y Vile Slate. For this it is necessary to have the mining techniques at rank 2, later we will explain how to get all the ranks.
Mining Ranges
Mining techniques in Legion have 3 levels or ranks. All the techniques to collect in the Abrupt Islands start at rank 1, and by achieving the techniques of rank 2 and 3 we optimize our profession by making the nodes reward us with a more material. In short; If we manage to raise all mining techniques to rank 3, we will be extremely efficient miners, making it more profitable to collect.
- El rank 1 allows us to get more ore out of the nodes.
- With the rank 2 we have the possibility to obtain Blood of Sargeras when collecting ore at nodes.
- Finally, rank 3 gives us more ore than nodes.

Tips for mining in Legion
- In Legion we do not have citadels where to obtain minerals for the production professions. If you have Engineering, Ironworks. o Jewelry it is a good idea to have mining with some character so as not to depend on the auction.
- When you have rank 2 techniques you can get Blood of Sargeras. This component is used in conjunction with the Obliterum to level up all crafting parts to a maximum of ilvl 850. Collect all the nodes you see as it is a valuable and profitable material to sell.
- Having mining in Legion you have access to the world missions of Hellish brimstone. This material is used to create mounts, toys and very valuable objects in many professions.
- To collect ore faster we can enchant our gloves with Legion Mining. We can buy the enchantment at auction or order / buy it from someone with Enchantment.
- We can also enchant our shoulder pads with Recover's Favor. This enchantment sells it Valdemar Stormseeker en Stormheim for 150 gold if we have the reputation Valarjar to Revered. This enchantment causes the enemies we kill to give us Recovered armor, which contain Legion minerals.
- To get the most out of our farming sessions, I recommend using 3 blacksmith items that we can buy at auction, make or buy from a blacksmith player.
- Leystone Hoof Plates: Increases speed of our mount 20% for 2 hours. Very useful since for now it is not possible to fly.
- Demon Steel Stirrups: Allows us collect ore without getting off the mount during 2 hours.
- The addons Gathermate2 y routes They allow us to visualize the nodes on the map and draw optimal routes to collect. Soon we will add maps to this guide with the best routes to collect.
