In every zone: Use Find Minerals and explore rocky hillsides and the zone perimeter. Only enter caves you can safely clear. Gather eligible veins until the target skill; keep ore if you also need to level a crafting profession.
Carry your gathering tool
Mining Pick ×1Buy it from a supplies vendor and keep it in your bags. It is reusable; you do not need to equip it.

How it works
Zones are suggested stages, not a fixed harvesting circuit or promised yield. The checklist inserts training before each skill cap. Tool costs cover one reusable item; skill gains, drop quantities, travel and gathering duration are not invented. Saved progress stays local and is separated by profession, game version and character.
