How to level Mining from 1 to 225

The balanced route from 1 to 140 takes 6 steps and costs about 21 gold at current prices. Start with Smelt Copper, switch to Smelt Silver by 100, and finish with Smelt Iron. Learn Journeyman Mining by 75, or the skill stops rising.

Shopping list

Expected amounts for whole crafts. An item costs the cheaper of the cheapest vendor seen selling it and its 7-day median at the auction house; one that neither sells is valued at its nominal client price. Enter what you pay to re-plan. Tick or count what you already have: it is used first, also for what you would craft from it, and is remembered in this browser.
