This page details the best The War Within Mining stats and gear, and how they can be used to maximize profession output.

1.

Best Crafting Stats for Mining in The War Within

All stats have their uses, but for Mining we recommend focusing on either Perception for Null Stone Icon Null Stone farming or Finesse for Bismuth Icon Bismuth bulk farming, as these are the two most profitable options, and both benefit heavily from knowledge point investments into the Bismuth tree node.

Finally, Deftness is also a decent stat, but the time you actually spend mining is not as high as the time spent looking for veins, especially if you are hunting for the rarer modified veins exclusively! On the other hand, when you are mining those rare EZ-Mine nodes you will probably be counting every second left as the swirlies get closer to your feet..

Best Mining Gear

Miners, like most other professions, can use three pieces of gear at once, 1 tool and 2 accessories. Blue-quality items are best in slot.

Item Type Source
Proficient Pickaxe Icon Proficient Pickaxe Tool Blacksmithing
Artisan Pickaxe Icon Artisan Pickaxe Tool Blacksmithing
Miner's Bismuth Hoard Icon Miner's Bismuth Hoard Accessory Engineering
Miner's Aqirite Hoard Icon Miner's Aqirite Hoard Accessory Engineering
Bismuth Miner's Headgear Icon Bismuth Miner's Headgear Accessory Engineering
Aqirite Miner's Headgear Icon Aqirite Miner's Headgear Accessory Engineering

Quality is a big factor in the stats you can get from the gear. Green versions are bind on equip and from trainer recipes, but blue versions require specialization, faction, or renown grinding for their recipe and are bind on pickup, requiring you to submit a Crafting Order for them.

Also, remember to enchant your primary tool with Enchant Tool - Algari Perception Icon Enchant Tool - Algari Perception, Enchant Tool - Algari Deftness Icon Enchant Tool - Algari Deftness, or Enchant Tool - Algari Finesse Icon Enchant Tool - Algari Finesse.

Best Mining Consumables

Use Blacksmithing-crafted Ironclaw Razorstone Icon Ironclaw Razorstone and Alchemy-crafted Phial of Truesight Icon Phial of Truesight to temporarily increase your gathering stats while going out Mining.
