Seems like this will be the WoD equivalent of Ghost Iron Ore.

Comment by Rankkor

*sighs* at the name.

I guess we've been mining Fake Iron all this time. I think blizzard is running out of names to give to their metals.

Not to be confused with the True Iron Horde, Garrosh's new faction after the Iron Horde is defeated at the hands of the players.

Comment by Sadriel

It looks like all the main WoD crafting materials will be stacking in lots of 200! Boy, this will be a huge relief on my bagspace.

Comment by mrdiablo

Seems like the spawntime for the deposits in the garrison mine is around 50-60 minutes.

Comment by Padrig

Thank goodness they gave this such a unique name. I was worried I'd confuse it with Iron Ore, Dark Iron Ore, Fel Iron Ore, Ghost Iron Ore...

Let's all chip in and get the devs a periodic table and a thesaurus.

Comment by Alhazred01

Well, it's official. They've totally ran out of ore naming ideas.

Comment by JoeAlder

Flagged as prospectable, but you get a message telling you that it has no gems in it. In the end it probably won't be prospectable at all, as it would be an unending source of the only type of raw gem there is.

I guess all the Iron Ores before this were cheap Pandarian knock-offs.

Comment by Mohrgrog

Let's not forget the other True ores, like truesilver & truegold.

Are the Draenor ores not smeltable? I'm not able to find the skill for it anywhere.

Comment by derby31

No smelting for the Draenor ores, you use the ore directly in recipes.

I guess this is to make the Mine useful for people without Mining who can't Smelt.

Comment by Eido

If you're particularly impatient, Peon's Mining Pick can be used to speed up mining time.
NOTE: it does not need to be equipped and the mechanic will work even for characters that cannot wield 1h Axes.

So I know it's for attempting to balance the professions, but it's a bit disconcerting that the leveling rings use as much raw ore as blacksmith armor and weapons. Either Jewelcrafters are really terrible at making rings out of this stuff or these are some really heavy rings and necklaces.

Comment by AddictedPoi

At the moment the small plot building The Forge uses five of True Iron Ore for one work order.

Comment by Shadowewolfe

Are there any good spots where this ore is prolific?

Some reminders and tips about Garrisons, because it has been a while since this was current content:

GARRISON MINE

You can easily gather a large amount of ore if you have multiple alts with a mine built in their Garrison. Just send your alts into their Garrison mines on a regular basis to gather ore from nodes & Mine Carts. Toons that don't have Mining as a profession WILL be able to gather the ore; they just won't see the nodes on the mini-map until they are inside the mine. Work Orders (which produce both Blackrock Ore and True Iron Ore) cost Draenic Stone x 5 each; you will gather that stone during the process of gathering the ore.

Benefits of Garrison mines with a higher rank:

More & better quality mining nodes
More Work Orders can be submitted
Fewer enemy mobs to kill
You can use the Architect Table to assign a Garrison follower Lantresor of the Blade to your mine, which will boost work order production

Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 1
Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 2
Lunarfall Excavation / Frostwall Mines Level 3

If any of these land in your bag, use them to speed up the Garrison mining process. (They only work in the Garrison mine):
Preserved Mining Pick This effect stacks with the buff from Peon's Mining Pick while inside your garrison mine.
Miner's Coffee gives 20% speed boost per stack (maximum 5 stacks)

Peon's Mining Pick allows you to mine the nodes faster regardless of whether your toon has Mining as a profession if you keep it in your bag. On a toon that doesn't have Mining, adding Peon's Mining Pick to my bag reduced the cast time per node from 3.3 seconds down to 1.6 seconds.

If you have never picked up this treasure before, go here: /way #542 40.6 55.0 Abandoned Mining Pick
If you have already picked up the treasure previously then you'll be able to buy it from an NPC just outside the mine entrance Timothy Leens (A) / Gorsol (H)

Note: Yes, this pick can be equipped as a profession tool if the toon has Mining, however I noticed a bug. Sometimes when it's in your profession tool slot, the mining speed bonus won't work. If you move the pick to your bag and then put it back in the profession tool slot, you'll benefit from the bonus. Might be better to simply leave it in your bag.

TRADING POST BUILDING

If you have a Trading Post in your Garrison, you can trade Garrison Resources for profession materials. Garrison Resources are not Warband-transferrable. You'll need to visit your Garrison on a regular basis and click on the Garrison Cache to add them to your character's currency window. By default, the cache will max out at 500 but you can increase the limit to 1,000 by purchasing Trade Agreement: Arakkoa Outcasts from:
Alliance Vindicator Krethos /way #534 58.4 60.4 Vindicator Krethos
Horde Shadow Hunter Denjai /way #534 61.6 45.6 Shadow Hunter Denjai

Different traders offer different deals (costs range from 16-40 ) so check back another day if you don’t like their prices.

VISITING SOMEONE ELSE'S GARRISON

If you don't have a Trading Post in your Garrison, you can ask a friend to let you visit theirs. You need to be in a party together with that person as the leader, then right-click on your party frame and click on "View Leader's Garrison" then go into their Garrison.

PRIMAL TRADER

You can trade Primal Spirit to the Primal Trader NPC "Appraiser" Sazsel Stickyfingers (H) / Ashley Zerep (A) in your Garrison for many materials that are needed to craft items.

GARRISON HERB GARDEN

You can easily gather a large amount of Draenor herbs if you have multiple alts with an Herb Garden built in their Garrison. Just send your alts into their Garrison gardens on a regular basis to gather herbs. Alts that don't have Herbalism as a profession WILL be able to gather the herbs. Work Orders (which produce additional Draenor herbs) cost Draenic Seeds x 5 each; you will gather these seeds during the process of gathering the herbs.

You can speak with an NPC at the garden Tarnon (H) / Naron Bloomthistle (A) and specify which herb you want to plant & gather from the Herb Garden, otherwise it will be a random selection of herbs:

Benefits of Garrison Herb Gardens with a higher rank:

More herb nodes
More Work Orders can be submitted
You can use the Architect Table to assign a Garrison follower with the Herbalism trait, such as Fiona / Shadow Hunter Rala, to your Herb Garden to boost work order production

Herb Garden Level 1
Herb Garden Level 2
Herb Garden Level 3
