Alliance
Night elves: Darnassus lacks ores at all, go to Darkshore. Start at Auberdine. You’ll get about 40-50 copper ores.
Dwarves and Gnomes: Copper is abundant everywhere, you absolutely don’t need a route here.
Human: Beginning at Goldshire and heading east to the north of Crystal Lake, visit at least 2 mines on this trek, you’ll harvest about 30-40 copper ores.
Horde
Tauren: Mulgore: Start at any point and trail the cliffs all the way around. Check out the Venture Co mine. You’ll get about 40-50 copper there.
Orc and Troll: One easy step is to finish the entire circuits of Durotar. You can also start at Razor Hill and go west towards the Quilboar grounds, until you reach Orgrimmar. Go east till you arrive at a small farmstead, then move south and go down into the canyon. Follow the canyon out and head south east, you’ll arrive at razor hill again. This route will give you about 25-30 copper ores.
Undead: Start at DeathKnell, go south and track the cliffs all the way round, past the Undercity, up to the bulwark. Next, move north to Scarlet monastery, hugging the cliffs as you trail. Head up west when you reach the coast, then move south to Agamand Mills. Next, trail those hills south again back to the entrace of Deathknell. Mine about 30-40 copper ore.
