Thorium Mining Guide
By admin | May 12, 2009
As I said in the main mining guide Thorium seems to be the most abundant node in the game. Probably because it was the first “high level” ore. Either way this is what I personally farm, besides titanium. Lets jump straight into the best routes.
Unless the popular routes are camped I would not suggest Azshara. If you are questing here however this is your secret thorium mining location. The best area to mine here is in the south.
Burning Steps ,however, is a popular location to mine thorium. Depending on your server probably to popular… The only downside to this route besides its over popularity is how far it is spaced out, but if you choose to mine here your best bet is going to be along the eastern segment.
This is one of two spots that are my personal secret locations for mining thorium. They are a secret because people pretty much forgot about them. No one really quest here because as soon as they hit 58 they skip out to Outlands. This makes it all the much easier to mine my thorium and I hope it helps you to (unless your on my server =D )!
Felwood isn’t the best spot for mining thorium, but I would have to say its the best questing/mining zone. Everything is relatively close and you don’t have to go out of your way to find nodes while you quest. How much better could it get?
This would be another popular route in thorium mining, Un’Goro Crater. This is definitely a “power leveling” route. I would shoot my self if I rode the boarder of this zone in a level 30 mount. Even with a 60 mount it was still annoying, but each time I got a new thorium node I remembered why I was mining here. The best location obviously is the center. Visit there ever rotation or so.
Eastern Plague Lands is really a last resort route for any and all factions alike. To be honest I have only did this on a Death Knight, like once because everywhere else was being camped. But hey its a route.
Winterspring is another alternative route for those of you needing more thorium routes. The best route unfortunately is down south in the raid zone. I would recommend waiting till you can defend yourself against them to mine there aka level 80.
This is my secret route of secret routes. The be all end all of thorium node glory. Silithus. Ever since the release of BC this has been a ghost zone getting very few visitors. Well thats besides me who raids all the thorium the land has to offer and a regular basis.
