Mithril Mining Guide
By admin | May 11, 2009
Now we are hitting half way to our ultimate goal and this is when things get serious. I have no clue why, but mithril is still a popular item on auction house. Its sad that I see over priced mithril outsell saronite. On my one server mithril will go for 25-30g per stack and saronite barley breaks 20g, but we will deal with this accordingly. This is why I give you multiple routes because ever server is different.
Even though the Burning Steps is a mainly thorium dominated zone it still has one single highly dominated location for mithril. So if you happen to be questing here this is a good zone to get your mitril out right before your ready to mine thorium.
The Hinterlands is one of the most popular zones to mine mithril along with Tanaris. I would suggest heading here first due to each server I played on this had a high amount of mithril nodes. Unlike each server two of them were heavily camped nearly 24/7. The other server Tanaris was camped. So its a win lose situation, but giving a round would never hurt.
The Searing Gorge is a good route with one acceptation. Its way to complicated when running in the gorge part. There are a whole bunch of different routes and its really confusing and you can’t ride a mount half the time. The gorge contains the most nodes to… did I mention the countless mobs that you will encounter on the way? I recommend this route if you are questing at the same time only due to its peevish ways.
Tanaris is the other popular route for mining mithril and each time I have it has been a dangerous one. It seems that there is always high levels camping these nodes. Which makes it frustrating for those of us that try to mine and quest. If you do choose this route I would suggest to wait till your 80. Its just to much riding on a level 30 mount to handle.
