As you are well aware minimum requirements to mine nodes was removed in patch 5.3 making level up your gathering professions easier.
Therefore, you can go 1-700 following old routes if you’d like.
One of the biggest changes in Warlords of Draenor is there are no more profession trainers. To improve your skill level simply learn the profession you want, after killing a few mobs a scroll should drop that boosts your maximum skill level to 700, all that’s left for you to do is to get it there.
At level 92 you will unlock a mine in your garrison that starts at level 1. This can be used to gather ore on a daily basis and may be all that you need to get to 700 unless you’re in a hurry. Once you get your mine to level 3 it will offer 18 nodes per day that will either be Blackrock Ore or True Iron Ore.
For those of you that will need more ore than your garrison provides. You will have to head out and get it the old fashioned way. Nagrand is probably the hottest spot for both kinds of ore, it’s a level 98-100 zone.
