Mining

Mine ore, smelt it into bars. Every recipe for Mists of Pandaria Classic is below: what it makes, what it consumes and the skill at which it turns yellow, green and grey. Put your skill in the box to colour the list as the game would.

Ore 26

Zones, not places. A node's name here is what this hub's own object database records as having been seen in a Pandaria zone – nothing finer. Those spawn coordinates were measured against real gathers once (183 pins against 9 gathered in one zone, none of 125 within 2% in another) and the map that drew them was removed, so this page prints the zone and never the spot.

The data does not say what skill a node needs or what it yields; the order below is item level, and an ore or an herb carries, where the data says so, the skill it takes to prospect it.

Recorded nowhere in Valley of the Four Winds, Krasarang Wilds, Dread Wastes, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, The Veiled Stair, Isle of Thunder, Isle of Giants, Timeless Isle, The Wandering Isle – which is a gap in the database rather than in the continent.

And these have no row in it at all, in any zone: Black Trillium Deposit, White Trillium Deposit.

Players have uploaded gathers from 1 Pandaria zone, drawn on the node map, which is where gathers live.

Smelting 32

All New in Mists 1 Recipe item 2 Granted with the skill 1 Trainer or other 29

27 of 32 shown. The numbers on a row are the skill it asks (where the tables give it) and where it turns yellow, green and grey. “Trainer or other” means no item teaches it and it is not granted with the skill: there is no trainer table, so it cannot be called a trainer's. New in Mists is a recipe that asks for more than 525 skill or is still orange above it (Cataclysm's cap was 525); the tables carry no expansion, so a Mists recipe that stays at or below it is not counted.

Leveling from 1 to 600

Worked out from the recipes' own thresholds: for every 25 points of skill, the recipes the tables say you can make by then (their required skill, or from the start for one granted with the skill) that are not yet green at the start of it, longest-lasting first. Recipes with no required skill in the tables (most of what a trainer teaches) are left out, so a row can be empty without nothing being craftable in it. The two numbers beside a recipe are the skill it is learned at and the skill it turns green at. It does not know prices or where a recipe is sold.
