Requires 245 Mining

Commentaire de flamebait

I love being a miner/herbalist in winterspring. I run the same path through the zone over and over and regularly make around 40-50g/hour, depending on whether or not I'm lucky enough to get the black lotus nodes or an arcane crystal. Icecap and mountain silversage are a nice regular source of money.

If you have a good UI mod, you can mark your map with the locations of each vein you find. Eventually, you'll find a good pattern to follow to mine them. If I'm on a thorium farming trip, I'll run from the North (near Marshall's Refuge) along the mountainside to the South, then up the middle past the mountain. If you're able to mine them, a couple of rich thorium veins pop up on the eges of Fire Plume Ridge.

Agree, Blasted Land was nice.

Commentaire de Leprikon

Blasted lands was the best for me. i went from 255 to 275 in about an hour...

Once you hit 245 head to the Blasted Lands. It is hands down the best place to mine from 245 to 300. If you look at the map posted here you can see a bunch of nodes that were farmed in an area above Nethergarde Keep, they appear to be in Swamp of Sorrows. This is not the case, those nodes are indeed in The Blasted Lands. There is a relatively large mine (the two entrances of which are located on the map as well) that has a very good concentration of Small Thorium Veins and Mithril Deposits in it. It is called Garrison Armory.

Again, this area is BY FAR the best place to lvl your mining from 245 to 300 due to the fast respawn rate and the size of the mine that the nodes are located in.

NOTE: There are mobs that range roughly between lvls 46 and 48 located in this mine, this may pose a slight problem for those in a similar lvl range, however, the mineral yield is well worth the effort and who knows you may just get a lvl or so while farming.

I tried Silithus, Un'Goro, and Tanaris and this area has lvld my mining much faster than any of those. I get at least 2-3 lvls in about a 5 min time period. I am currently 289 and climbing.

WPL worked fine for me... I more or less cruised between the two plaguelands all the way from 245-300.

Commentaire de mraverage

well i did mine here and my skill went from 240 till 275 just by alt tabbing to this page and look where the veins are there quite precies works fine for me no need for addons ;)

Commentaire de 80358

Blasted Lands suck for minerals. Just wanted to express that since someone posted that it's "ideal" or whatever to level to 300. It isn't. Don't waste your time.

Commentaire de 68342

Small Thorium Veins turn yellow at 270 mining skill.

Green at 295 mining skill.

Commentaire de 85634

Here is my gatherer report after going from 250-285 mining skill in the blasted lands.

The armory (Caves) at the top of the map are nice, but I found that I gathered just as much thorium/mithril from doing a loop around the area and especially in the serpents coil on the east part of the map.

Hope this helps

Commentaire de 101214

As a level 70 Alliance I found that to level from 245 to 300 WPL and EPL provided the best small throium vein yield. Also, when you hit 275 you can start doing full loops of EPL that provide many skillups and tons of thorium you can later sell.

Commentaire de 1515

Just farmed EPL for an hour. What did I find?

- 2 Small Thorium Veins
- 2 Rich Thorium Veins
- 1 Gold Vein

I circled around the ENTIRE zone and was very annoyed, since I couldn't even mine the rich veins. You're probably better off in the Blasted Lands

Commentaire de Krelios

There are only 2 or 3 nodes in the Nethergarde Mine and they don't respawn quickly at all. I got six points very quickly but then no respawns for almost 10 minutes.

Commentaire de dehumanize

I was just in the mine earlier today for about 45 minutes. Was able to get 7 Thorium and 5 mithril nodes. Went in at 263, and walked out at 275. Taking a stack of thorium, and over half stack of mithriil. I'd say the mine is well worth it. Two or three more trips in there will get me to 300, without stepping foot in OL.

Commentaire de 116731

Now after TBC thorium is a grade crossing to reach the fel iron ,than the adamantite many competitive zones like Silithus, EPL are empty.

I lvled from 245-275 in blasted lands in Garrison Armory(and i confirm its a gr8 place to skillup)
than i tried EPL and Silithus: the first was good but nothing special found 5 rich thorium ore in around 60 mins, the second,Silithus, amazed me, in each Hive u can find from 2-to 3 rich Thorium(if ur lucky ofc) and also in zones around hives u can find both rich and small thorium ore,plus now all insects are non elìte so easly killable.

A good suggestion would be to run with horse over the hives so u can see if there is any ore inside without going down.

Commentaire de H4rb0rSkum

DON'T neglect your enchants! +5 points in mining can mean a skill up or another circuit and loss of time and money. I put Advanced Mining ( https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/spell=13841 ) on a pair of shotty gray gloves around 230 mining and was to hit veins I would otherwise have to pass up if I were a few points shy. I recommend starting out with a pair of gloves with mining on them. They came in REAL handy at 240 when I went to Garrisons Armory in Blasted Lands. FAST skill-ups!

Commentaire de Krynoraxian

An interesting note: Due to the increased drop rate of arcane crystals in all thorium veins. For a very short time(275-280) Arcanite Keys can be a good substitute for Imperial Plate bracers for getting some skill up.

Transmute Arcanite is:
Thorium Bar x1
Arcane Crystal x1

Arcanite Key x2 is:
Arcanite Bar x1
Dense Grinding Stone x1 (4 Dense Stone)

This compared to...

Imperial Plate bracers:
Thorium Bar x12

It should be noted Arcanite keys are of yellow difficulty when you train them at 275, but for those 5 blacksmithing levels its well worth the risk over the orange skill Imperial Plate bracers to save yourself some money/time.

Commentaire de 129663

The number of small thorium veins in tanaris is wrong. I mined there about 30 veins. Aspecially at the east cost and around the cavarn of time.

Commentaire de 104949

I thought Un'Goro Crater was the best, i went to Garrison Armory in Blasted lands like all the above posts said, i purposely got myself lost in there looking for mines and i got one, maybe 2 mines in about 15-20 minutes of looking around. I'm not sure why, it seems like everyone in this thread agrees that Garrison Armory is the best place. I was convinced that somebody must've gotten there before me so i went back in, same result. Came out about 15 minutes later frustrated, i decided to give it one last shot, again same result. I got angry and hearthed to Crossroads.

From Crossroads i went to the next closest zone with thorium veins, Winterspring. It was just as bad ,went down south and found 0-1 in only half a run, i did not wanna go through what i went through in blasted lands so i gave up there and went to Feralas

I didn't stay long at Felwood i just went to the corrupted moonwell and found 1 thorium mine and left because by looking at the wowhead map found posted above here of Felwood all the condensed places where there were mines were occupied by mobs. So i flew all the way down to un'goro, it seemed like a good place acording to the wowhead map here. Damn...10 minute flight time :(

At Un'Goro i ran around the right side of the crater and found maybe 1-2 veins a run which is terrible but it was better then the other zones i visited.
If you do go to Un'Goro be sure to stop by the gorilla cave near the town, then make a left and look to your right and you should see a small narrow path, sometimes theres a vein there and take every ramp up, and hug the cliffs.
Also be sure to take that small path into tanaris and look around that area, where the dots are located.
The Slithering Scar where the bugs are located also spawns a vein outside.

I was a a level 60 hunter when i did this with an epic mount and i still speant almost 6 hours trrying to level my mining from 250-300 it was HELL!

Long story shot:
Badlands - I hated it 10 points an hour for me
Winterspring - Mobs are too high, better for rich thoriums.
Felwood - I guess its an alright place, although i wasn't here long because you really need to fight to get the mines.
Un'Goro Crater - Hated this place too but it was the best out of the rest of them. It had about half small thorium & half rich thorium and a few mitheral, iron & gold deposits which are rare. (you should still mine them anyway because a thorium can replace them and the extra gold is nice)
- Be sure to go into Tenaris while your circling around Un'Goro
- Be sure to visit the Gorilla cave near the town, make a left and on your right there should be a narrow path, a vein sometimes spawns there.
- In the middle there is a fast spawning rich thorium
- Check the Slithering Scar also(the bug place), sometimes a vein spawns outside
- It seems like on the left side is mostly rich veins and on the right is small veins, in the middle is mixed.

I say try badlands first, if the first 1-2 runs don't go well then head to Un'Goro

I suggest downloading the latest version of the Gatherer addon, and then download the www.cuckhead.com/wotlk database for ores/herbs/treasures. Works like wonders. You can find both the addon and the database at http://www.gathereraddon.com/dl/ You install both of them as a normal addon. Then u open up WoW and check at the "addon" button that they are working. Then you enter one of your characters and press the gatherer button at your minimap (right-click) then you press config. Then just bove the "HUD" tab you press the "Database tab" and import the data. Have fun and good luck! =)

As of patch 2.4 Truesilver Veins can take the place of small, rich, small ooze covered, and rich ooze covered thorium veins.

Commentaire de 122941

i think the veins in garrison armoury has been reduced or sth. like the above posters, 30 min no veins. found a mithril one though
i think it got nerfed in 2.4.2 or sth

Commentaire de 156207

Blasted Lands is wierd now when im starting to mine thorium all the vein disapear for me... Now its only mithril...

Commentaire de 193443

Blasted lands is awesoem for mithrill,gold, sometiems ture silver, and small thorium veins. I suggest downloading gatherther it can create a route for you because of such fast re spawns. The mine at the north has huge amounts of veins in it and can onyl be mined by horde as far as i know

Commentaire de 194868

Tanaris has one surprising place I found that is somewhat neglected according to the map. The region around Caverns of Time (not actually inside it, of course) has several Thorium nodes, including around the pirate camp on the other side. There is also a few mithril deposits and several iron deposits.

Commentaire de Icebebi

I found that mining the Thorium is easy in the mine up north in Blasted Lands (entrance: 53,12 and 57,14) ... but then again I am mining as lvl 64 cause I did not wanna focus on my professions before... but inthere you get Thorium, Milthril and a few golds too ... have fun ;)

Commentaire de Ertis

Just walked through the Armory in BL; nothing was mineable.

Commentaire de 218350

isn't that considered a hack?

Commentaire de 241670

Haven't been mining in the Garrison Armory before Wotlk really, but I tried there earlier today, three Small thorium veins, and that's it. Nothing. Seems like the respawn spawner has been raised or something. That place was a complete waste of time for me.

The Plaguelands, EPL and WPL both seemed a success though.

Commentaire de 103021

I wonder if the decline in available nodes has to do with the influx of Death Knights needing to skill up professions before Outland. I, too, visited the Garrison Armory and found 1 Small Thorium node and that was all. I ended up traveling around the Blasted Lands for a little bit as well and didn't come upon any nodes, so someone must be clearing them out before me. Just a thought.

Commentaire de 39477

I can confirm the fact that Garrison Armory cave in northeast Blasted Lands is filled with veins at times but you are not able to mine from them if you are Alliance :(

"I've taken a peek. This works as following. If you're Horde and you wander into an Alliance NPC mining establishment, such as the Garrison Armory, you're able to mine the nodes present there, but the NPC's will engage you of course, making the mining a chore (so to speak). Alliance cannot mine there as the task would be trivial and too easy to do. The same works vice versa in Horde NPC mining caves. I cannot think of one off the top of my head, but if you can, I will be willing to test and prove this theory. :)

EDIT:
Got this from an ingame ticket

: According to the records I can find, it is a bug, but let me check further for you.
: Thank you
: The only information I can find on it says it is a known issue and to be fixed soon, but no dates attached.
: Ok, last blue post I've found that claimed it working as intended was 03/05/2008, but thanks alot for contacting me. I'll mine elsewhere..:)
: Sorry I could not help more, is there anything else I can do while I am here?
: Nah, I'm ok, thx!
: Then farewell, ******. Thank you very much for your time, and take care on your journeys around Azeroth and beyond!

Commentaire de 305661

Hmm... I prospected hundreds of thorium ore packs and sometimes got outland crystals. Could they be found in thorium veins?

Commentaire de Liquids

Since patch 2.4 or so, it is possible to skill mining by smelting Thorium:

Yellow at 250
Green at 270
Grey at 290

This makes it easier to skill up mining than solely hunting thorium veins.

Commentaire de Ayrianna

Mining Minerai de thorium from Petit filon de thorium requires level 245 skill & Riche filon de thorium requires a level 275 skill.

Commentaire de Killaxen

I have made like 15 trips around winterspring not 1 spawns, dont tell me its about the amount of people, lmao still bound to find 1 at 5am lmao.

Commentaire de Wroughtx

For small thorium veins, the previous comments are a bit outdated. Felwood has been the only place out of any lists of zones for thorium that actually have consistent SMALL thorium (which is mineable at 245, as opposed to Rich thorium which is higher). Look around perimeters and caves, you know the drill.
