Farming Copper Ore in Durotar

Durotar is the most convenient and easiest location for farming Copper Ore as Horde. Since all you have to do is fly a little bit south from Orgrimmar to start farming it is the ultimate "I'm extremely lazy but want to make a little gold as I wait for my instance queue" location. The path I use for farming starts at the Burning Blade Coven to the east of Orgrimmar, right by the dock that takes you to Vashj'ir. Since it will be 400x easier for you to understand the location I am about to describe with a picture, here is a pretty picture I have with my path mapped out across it.

Durotar Copper Ore Farming Path

From the Burning Blade Coven in northern Durotar you will want to travel southwest over the Drygulch Ravine, or through it if you don't have a flying mount. While flying over the ravine ignore any mines that you see "inside" a cave. They will be lightly faded out on your mini map and they are not worth going around and into the cave to get, regardless of how many of them you see. After you grab all of the mines in Drygulch Ravine continue southeast through the harpy area before banking south and going past the hill just to the west of Razorhill. From that hill you will want to shoot off west through the "wetlands" type area of Durotar.

Since the map doesn't show any hills for this area you will want to make sure you fly past or over all of the rock structures nearby this line that you see in the wetlands type area. At the end of my blue line that goes west you will want to turn south and follow the mountains back around, through all the quilboar until you end up back near Razor Hill. From here turn south and hug the mountains all the way down until the little alliance northwatch area by Sen'jin. Check this canyon for Copper Ore since quite a bit spawns in here usually before following the beach past Sen'jin and to the other mountains.

Hug the mountains and circle them until you are about in the center of Tiragarde Keep on the south side, then shoot up north through it. Be sure to fly by any rock structures in the water elemental area to the north of Tiragarde Keep, usually you can find a few Copper Veins through here. North of the water elementals you will want to travel over the small hills here, usually a few Copper Veins here. Once you're north of these hills then just fly inbetween Drygulch Ravine and the mountains near the shoreline to the east until you reach the Burning Blade Coven again. That covers the entire Durotar Copper Ore farming path!
