How do I change what my locate minerals will find, or am I looking in the wrong places? All I seem to find is copper. Thanks for any help.

What you find it based on level. Newbie zones only have copper.

Your locate minerals will show you any minerals on the map, but you are probably only seeing copper because you are in a low level area. The higher level area you are in the better minerals you will find.

What Treesock said. When WoW says you can only locate one type of item at a time, they mean that you can't have "locate minerals" and "locate herbs" or "track animals", or any of those other nice tracking devices that put little yellow dots on your minimap, not that your "locate minerals" will only locate one type of mineral. It should locate any mineral deposit if your close enough, but you have to be in higher-level areas to find tin/silver and even higher level areas to find iron/gold.

naturally tin/silver aren't as plentiful as copper in the world. As you go higher in value so the nodes get thinned out and become further apart. I suggest getting the gatherer ui mod which rememebers were you mined and shows them on your minimap. This is indispensable for those wanting to make a profit from mining.

Another mining tip is to buy flight paths to the Auction House in either IF or OG. or if you don't have many quests to do have your hearthstone there but the 1st one is better. This lets you get back at the end of your gaming time to smelt and place them in the Auction House (AH) on a long sale.
