There doesn't seem to be much variation in the level two mining missions agents are sending me on, although I suppose there are only so many ways you can ask someone to shoot a stationary rock. Hmm, there's a thought: the rock doesn't have to be stationary. How ...

I have moved my operations from the station with the low quality level two Core Complexion, Inc. manufacturing agent one system across to take advantage of the high quality level two Core Complexion, Inc. manufacturing agent. Moving can be stressful and change can be difficult to deal with but ...

I'm currently working for a manufacturing agent with Core Complexion, Inc., which involves mostly courier missions. These are nice and simple and let me run around high-sec space in a shuttle, the Orca Mk II, with most deliveries fitting in the voluminous 10 m3 cargo hold. The undemanding nature ...

In the World of Warcraft patch notes for 3.0.8: Mining veins and deposits no longer require multiple hits to receive all the ore. Players will receive around the same amount of ore, stone, and gems they would have received from multiple hits.

Gnomesblight, my death knight, hit 70th level and bought a flying mount. It is a little ostentatious to buy a flying mount immediately at 70th level when it cannot be used in Northrend until cold weather flying can be learnt at additional cost, particularly when I am questing exclusively ...

Having reached a mining skill of 400 with Gnomesblight, my Death Knight, my stock of fel iron ore seems sufficient to get back to an anvil to craft some armour to hone my blacksmithing skills. Carefully selecting the more complicated patterns I have been taught I find that my ...

Despite being sick of mining with my Death Knight I still had ore to gather if I wanted to increase my blacksmithing skill so that I could craft my Stoneforged Claymore. I still take time out to enjoy the Death Knight class by questing, but I have a target ...

My Death Knight has been mining, mining, mining. I finally kicked the mithril habit, after making many laps around Tanaris collecting ore and crafting a couple of dozen mithril coifs. Finally able to use thorium I withdraw the one hundred and sixty four thorium bars from the bank ...

My initial plan for Gnomesblight, my Death Knight, was to level up my mining and blacksmithing concurrently, and hopefully take advantage of running through the low-level areas to gain some faction reputation and cookery ingredients. The idea was that if I didn't do this initially it would be frustrating ...
