*chuckle* Oddly enough, that's exactly the map I was using. Still doesn't change the fact that it's a lot of roaming around looking for mining points.

And smelting does level you up awesomely but you need the ore to smelt first. I've got five levels to go before I can move up to silver, damnit. Ah well. Push comes to shove, I've got a trip to make to the Undercity soon, so I can just grab an airship to Orgrimmar and do some mining there to nudge those last few levels.
