Mining addon for WoW Forever
Mining tracks node types, not just ore, because a Small Thorium Vein needs skill 245 and a Rich Thorium Vein needs 275 while both drop Thorium Ore.
The ForeverArtisan Mining module ranks node types by your skill-up chance, sets ore goals, and logs where you mined each one. Blacksmithing and Engineering read that log to tell you where your ore came from.
What the Mining module does
/fa mineMining tracks node types and the ore they drop separately, because Small and Rich Thorium Veins both give Thorium Ore.
- Mine next ranks node types by skill-up chance; the Goal button tracks that node's ore
- Node guide covers all 13 Classic node types; Ooze Covered nodes count as their normal type
- Ore tooltips show the node, the skill needed, and where you've mined it
- Reminders for Find Minerals and a missing Mining Pick, only on characters that know Mining
Mining leveling: every node by skill
Ooze Covered versions of these nodes need the same skill as the normal node.

Mining questions
Do I need a Mining Pick in WoW Forever?
Yes. Gagsprocket in Ratchet and several Booty Bay vendors sell one for 10 copper. The module reminds you if it's missing, but only on characters that know Mining.
Mining says "0 nodes since your last skill-up"
That was a bug in 0.9.10 with auto loot, fixed in 0.9.11. ForeverArtisan now counts the node from the "You receive loot" line in chat. Update to the latest version; /fa mine debug prints what the game reports while you mine, for a bug report.
Do Ooze Covered nodes count?
Yes. They need the same skill as the normal node and count as that node type in your log.
One addon, every profession
ForeverArtisan is one free download with a module for each of the twelve WoW Forever professions, plus Trade Contacts and Camping. Switch any of them off in the /fa panel.
Enjoy the journey!
