In World of Warcraft how do you prospect?

Answer 1

You can prospect, or mine, only if you know the Mining profession. If you do, then if you see a vein and you have a mining pick equipped, then you can right-click on the vein and you will start mining for ore. --------------- prospecting comes with the jewelcrafting profession, you need to prospect ore to get gems so you can craft jewels so you can say that when you choose jewelcrafting as your crafting proffesion you should choose mining as your gahtering profession. you are going to need 5 ores to be able to prospect starting with copper, tin, silver, gold, iron, mitrhil, thorium, etc etc. depending on you level of jewelcrafting (if you are level 1you are not going to be able to prospect mithril ores) from the prospect you'll get dust of the material and jewels wich you will use to level up jewelcrafting.
