History
 |
This section is a lore stub. |
Initiate Goldmine was found in Deepholm and later in the Twilight Highlands. He, like many goblin shaman, doesn't really respect the elements and only sees them as tools.
He also assists the adventurers in killing the elementals at Sethria's Roost, apparently being promoted to "Senior Initiate".
During the Burning Legion's third invasion, the Hydraxian Waterlords sent a distress call from Azsuna, and the Earthen Ring at the Heart of Azeroth in the Maelstrom sent troops to aid them.[1] In the process, they rescued Journeyman Goldmine. In thanks, he agreed to lend his skill to the Earthen Ring's cause.[2] As such, he traveled to the Heart of Azeroth where he researched the class hall upgrades. Advisor Sevel believed that Goldmine's unorthodox research may significantly augment their power, as the goblins found ways to imbue their mechanical devices with the energy of elemental spirits.[3]
Years later, Goldmine traveled to the Ohn'ahran Plains to combat the Fyrakk Assaults at Suffusion Camp. He was working with Zooti Fizzlefury on a water elemental to contain fires.[4]

Once you go shaman, you don't go back.
I completely underestimated the usefulness of fire elementals. Easy to discipline too: just add water.
