Level 1 Mine offers:

Placing up to 7 work orders, one requires 5x Draenic Stone and produces a shipment of Blackrock Ore and True Iron Ore and occasionally some Apexis Crystal. It takes four hours for one work order to complete. Work orders may also sometimes contain Abrogator Stone / Elemental Rune if you are on the respective quest.

8 mining nodes which can be either be Blackrock Ore or True Iron Ore nodes (also chance for rich nodes) per day for mining without having Mining. Nodes also contain sometimes Draenic Stone and/or Primal Spirit. When mining the nodes, there's a chance to spawn Goren Protector which drops more ores and has also a chance to drop Red Goren Egg.

Writing this here just in case anyone else comes looking as I don't think the tooltip explains it very well. Even without having mining trained you can get some use out of the mine. You can just walk in there after completing the quest and mine the nodes.

To upgrade this building to level two, you must buy it from Sparz Boltwist, who is in your garrison. Not from the vendor in Ashran as you can't trade a book for it, only gold (1,000g for level 2).

Level 2 Mining upgrade.

It took about an hour after finalizing the level 2 mining upgrade for Gorsol, the mining foreman to offer the work orders.

You can mine nodes as noted for Level 1, but now there are ore carts available. The ore carts are continuously being filled with various ores and items (apparently not Draenic Stone) and can be gathered throughout the day like the Garrison Cache.

Mines seem to spawn once a day.

You can upgrade to Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 2 simply by buying Lunarfall Excavation, Level 2 from Sparz Boltwist/Rezlak for 1000 gold (and of course paying the upgrade cost). No achievement/quest necessary.

Sometimes the workers will all just stand staring at a point beyond the walls. Creeps me out. It happens during garrison "night time" I've observed.

Miner's Coffee drops from mining carts in your Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 2 or Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 3.

Miner's Coffee and Preserved Mining Pick drop from the Mine Carts and each Mine Cart randomly contains only one of them. You will never get both items nor will you ever get more than one of either. There is one Mine Cart in each wing:
1. Central Entrance Area (with stairway Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 1),
2. Right Mine Shaft (Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 1),
3. Left Mine Shaft (Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 2),
4. Central Mine Shaft (Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 3).
So, the Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 2 has 3 Mine Carts and, the Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 3 has 4 Mine Carts. It is always random and some days you will get 4xMiner's Coffee and others 4xPreserved Mining Pick.

Miner's Coffee and Preserved Mining Pick each will create one UNIQUE stack of 5. The stack itself is not unique, in that you can split it into 5 separate items if you wish to do so, but you will only be allowed to carry 5 of each Miner's Coffee and Preserved Mining Pick.
This includes items in your BANK.

Miner's Coffee will not work outside of the mine. You can drink it and get the Miner's Coffee buff, but once you begin moving it will drop off.
(The icon graphic for Preserved Mining Pick is bugged and disappears from the cursor when moved.)
The Miner's Coffee buff will not stack with Miner's Coffee (so do not use more than one unless choice 3 below). The most you will get is adding 20% to the speed you do without it. If you are running at 111%, then after you will be running at 131%. Hunters, it does stack with so 130% would then become 150%. Shamans, it stacks with ghost wolf 140% becomes 160%.

SHAMANS @ 21JAN2015
------------------------------------------------------------

They nerfed Charred Glyph to not work indoors which includes the mines. For now you can shapeshift outside the mine and still retain the additional 60% speed in the mine (200%). The Miner's Coffee buff will then not stack.

------------------------------------------------------------

When looting a Mine Cart and you are to receive a Miner's Coffee or Preserved Mining Pick and you already have the limit of 5 (bank included), you will get the message "You cannot carry more of that item."
I always click to auto loot and the first thing I know is when I get that message and the Mine Cart does not vanish after looting.
So you can:
1. Leave it,
2. Shift click the stack and Toss One out - and then loot it,
3. If it is off cooldown, Use One - and then loot it
It depends on your level of OCD and whether, like me, you are trying to best your fastest time (there are rules about carts for standardization). I was thinking of writing an addon that would time our stay in the mine, and be usable to document the FASTEST run on video.

Miner's Coffee and Preserved Mining Pick are to help reduce your daily stay in the mine. The Preserved Mining Pick buff has the same affect as gotten from the Peon's Mining Pick being in your bags. I carry the Peon's Mining Pick and throw the Preserved Mining Pick away.
Preserved Mining Pick gives a 10 minute Preserved Mining Pick buff and brings the cast time for mining down form 3.0 sec, to 2.0 seconds.
Peon's Mining Pick, obtained from Abandoned Mining Pick, brings the cast time for mining down form 3.0 sec, to 2.0 seconds.

Now let us all submit to Blizzard the suggestion to create an item that when carried in our bags will give us the same affect as the Miner's Coffee buff.

I propose the name:

"Draewind's Buckstar togo MUG"

21JAN2015 - MISSING Mine Cart --- You haven't been getting carts? There is a bug reported by some that are not getting carts on occasion. My horde toons do not get them half the time.

BUILDING/ZONE	REQUIREMENTS/PLANS	CONTAINS
Level 1, Zone (A/H)	Level 92 + Quest (A/H)	Only contains mining nodes.
Level 2, Zone (A/H)	No level requirement. Quest Chain (A/H) + Plans (A/H)	Mine Carts (spell) become active.* More mining nodes and more work orders.
Level 3, Zone (A/H)	Level 100 + Achievement + Plans (A/H)	More mining nodes and more work orders.

*Despite the tooltip, you currently do not need to have any follower assigned to have access to Mine Carts.
This means the only current benefit to having a follower with the Mining trait assigned to your mine is higher work order yields (affected by follower level).

OTHER INFORMATION

The ability to mine ore within these garrison mines does not required the Mining profession.
The only benefit to having the Mining profession is the ability to mine ore OUTSIDE of your garrison. (Same goes with Herbalism).

Comment by Ryawy

Collect all the ore before upgrading. The nodes will respawn and you'll get twice the mats.

Comment by majordomo

No matter what level you upgrade this building to (be it level 1, 2, or 3), it is impossible to mine up Felblight from it, this applies to both horde and alliance mines.
