WoW Classic Mining with Smelthing Guide (1-300) (Optional)

You can speed up the mining leveling process by smelting the ore you gather in the world or buy on the auction house. The crafted bar is usually worth less than the raw ore so this method can be expensive. However it's a great optional route that you can keep in mind. Also note that you can only level up to 290 with smelting.
