Another decent place to farm Rich Thorium Veins is Un'Goro. The insectoid nests underground host a decent amount of ooze-covered veins (still the same thing), and fire plume ridge (area with fire elementals) has a decent number of veins as well. Not to mention that the fire elementals are also good to farm for essences and a possible rare spawn!

Any class, if you're careful, can mine the thorium nodes in southern winterspring. There are 2 nodes down there at any given time, with a 5 minute respawn in a different section after you mine one. Simply wait until the tunnels are clear, then go through, mount up, and run along the edges to deaggro.
It is, however, easiest for a rogue; you can mine them much more efficiently. I can usually get about 10-15 nodes an hour, plus some small thorium. If there is competition, a circular route between the northern nodes up to gadgetzan is also productive, although only a stealth class can safely reach the back of mazthoril.

Actually you can separate into 6 area and the Rich Thorium Vein will respawn every 15 mins in each area, one area one piece. The area are The fungal vein, The infactis scar, Pestilent scar, The noxious glade, Northdale and Zul'Marshar. Just follow the this route and you can get your Rich Thorium Vein continousely. Just forget about Scarlet Basilica,'cause it's too dangerous for you.

The screen shot for the Rich Thorium Vein is incorrect. Rich Thorium Veins are larger and are green. They have large crystals growing out from them. I have uploaded an updated picture.

Комментарий от Zone

What level of mining do you require to mine these?
I have 250 skill and can mine small thorium veins but not these

Комментарий от cyborg99

I can usually get 7-9 Rich Veins in one circle of Winterspring, along with a few Small ones that I see on the way from node to node.
I start in Everlook, then I...
1) Head to Ruins of Kel'Theril and get the Rich Vein there(there's always one there, unless it's been mined recently).
2) I head to Mazthoril and pick up the one Rich and one Small in the cave and I port out using the rune at the end.
3) Then I head to Frostwhisper Gorge and get the one Rich Vein there.
4) I then head to Darkwhisper Gorge and get the 2 or 3(sometimes I get 2, sometimes 3) veins there and sometimes a Small vein. Just head clockwise through each little valley, making a detour for the very southern one.
5) I head up towards Owl Wing Thicket and get the Rich Vein there, sometimes it's in a cave, so pay attention to the map because it'll be slightly harder to see because of the terrain on the map + darker color.
6) Up to Winterfall Village and get the Rich Vein there.
7) Northwest up to Frostsaber Rock and grab the Vein there.

Also, when I'm able to do the https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=5201 quest, I'll do that quest while I'm at Winterfall and turn it in while I'm at Frostsaber.
Good luck with your Thorium mining!

Ever since the BC Exp. the nodes for all ores have had expanded spawn times. It also appears that the spawn locations are cyclical in an area. Example: Noxious Glade there are 5 nodes in the glade itself, b ut only 1 will be active at any time, whereas you could normally ride by 3 nodes with ore before BC was released.

Anyone know the skill required to mine this vein?

Комментарий от 60649

I've recently noticed that rich thorium veins can give upwards of 5 taps compared to the max of 4 that they used to give pre-TBC. I've also noticed small thorium veins giving 2-3 taps instead of the 1-2 they used to. Overall this is good news for us smiths/engineers/JC's. Many of us will be forced to mine a good chunk of the thorium required to hit 300 skill due to the shortage of thorium from everyone being in outland where thorium is not present.

Комментарий от Mister6002

I just found a Small Thorium Vein at 63.25 and 49,20 which aren't on the map above.
The guide of Cyborg99 is very very good!Everybody should use it!!!!

Note : The map dots are the locations where people have mined veins which means that veins at new locations are getting updated soon.

Co-ords of the locations Cyborg99 posted :
Ruins of Kel'theril 56.44 and around.
Mazthoril(cave entrance) 56.50.
Frostwhisper Gorge (entrance) 58.63.
Darkwhisper Gorge(entrance) 59.74(note that mount hyjal entrance is there too!).
Owl Wing Thicket(entrance)63.59.
Winterfall Village(cave entrance)67.42.
Frostsaber Rock 49.10 and around.
Then juist follow the mountain edge to the west until you reach the Ruins of Kel'Theril again.

Note : Winterspring also have Truesilver Veins in case anyone wonders.
Very Important Note : Veins could have been mined recently so luck would be usefull.

Hope this will help you guys!

If you are in Winterspring leveling mining, it is well worth is to cruise through Darkwhisper. I kept skipping it, but the first time i rode through i found 4 Rich Thoriums and at least 3 the second time. If you skip it you are a fool.

Комментарий от 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.

Just in case you didnt know... Thorium is a real metal...

Atomic Number: 90
Atomic Radius: 179.8 pm
Atomic Symbol: Th
Atomic Weight: 232.0381
Melting Point: 1750 ?C
Boiling Point: 4788 ?C
Electron Configuration: 7s26d2
Oxidation States: 4

When pure, thorium is a silvery-white metal which is air-stable and retains its luster for several months. When contaminated with the oxide, thorium slowly tarnishes in air, becoming gray and finally black. The physical properties of thorium are greatly influenced by the degree of contamination with the oxide. The purest specimens often contain several tenths of a percent of the oxide. High-purity thorium has been made. Pure thorium is soft, very ductile, and can be cold-rolled, swaged, and drawn. Thorium is dimorphic, changing at 1400?C from a cubic to a body-centered cubic structure. Thorium oxide has a melting point of 3300?C, which is the highest of all oxides. Only a few elements, such as tungsten, and a few compounds, such as tantalum carbide, have higher melting points. Thorium is slowly attacked by water, but does not dissolve readily in most common acids, except hydrochloric. Powdered thorium metal is often pyrophoric and should be handled carefully. When heated in air, thorium turnings ignite and burn brilliantly with a white light.

Twenty five isotopes of thorium are known with atomic masses ranging from 212 to 236. All are unstable. 232Th occurs naturally and has a half-life of 1.4 x 1010 years. It is an alpha emitter. 232Th goes through six alpha and four beta decay steps before becoming the stable isotope 208Pb. 232Th is sufficiently radioactive to expose a photographic plate in a few hours. Thorium disintegrates with the production of "thoron" (220Rn [a form of Radon gas, notice the green clouds around ore nodes), which is an alpha emitter and presents a radiation hazard. Good ventilation of areas where thorium is stored or handled is therefore essential.

yada yada yada so on and so forth... for more info check out http://periodic.lanl.gov/elements/90.html
I think its cool when they put a bit of truth into a fictional world :)

Here's a map of the path i take in EPL when i farm rich thorium https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/maps=139:735516730500720477715469727450726421756403779403797401819384832368831351819330804302794293775302761328750353747380738400715411702431687407678396673368678320695299698275685256674225660203651203636190620174639153660143670124655102639114625130611159603168597188595209580256591242562266544279540314550328563366571394581417584440584464581491579518579545567572556592541607529598506607496631480638468644453654444654428633405633382629344623325609313574317543343524386487388467370448344450313467294510370499297532296559301590301613309646310685321708340720361720374718396716446720417714481702462710509685546667575669601675623667648646678644691625705598716582726563731547 (btw this is pritty much just what softbeast posted -the elite place)

As I couldn't find it among the posted comments:
Rich Thorium requires 275 mining.
Useful information for those planning ahead. :)

Комментарий от Thaddeus

I think the best place to farm this is in Winterspring, because it's usually less farmed. Eastern Plaguelands is good also, but there are a lot of cliffs there and a lot of mobs near the vein. Some places in Winterspring is also difficult to access to such as Darkwhisper Gorge (a lot of elite mobs there that can still give trouble to level 70's). Still, in my opinion, the best place to farm thorium is in Winterspring. For a quick thorium farming, from Everlook just go east to Timbermaw Village. There are 3-4 nodes there with a few Timbermaw Shaman and Timbermaw Ursa. After that, go west and go around the frozen lake, there should be a lot of Rich Thorium Vein and a small amount of Small Thorium Vein. While in Timbermaw village, you can also do this quest https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=8464.

Комментарий от 385441

i would like to add that now that WOTLK is out, if you dont wanna mess around with veins not being there of W/E there is a place where there is always about 3 Rich Thorium veins, at the Back exit of Dire mole (east) behind the boss named Alzzin the wildshaper.

Комментарий от 296580

I haven't visited Darkwhisper Gorge since I leveled mining on a different character ~patch 3.0.1 and noticed that I no longer have been dismounted when transversing through the cavern passways. I stopped midway inside of one of these passages and although the minimap showed I was indoor and in the center I was not dismounted. I was mounted on the epic DK mount, Acherus Deathcharger.

i reccommend going to burning steppes, as not only can u farm the thorium and whatnot for skill-ups, but i myself have found 2-3 stacks of truesilver there within just a few hours of farming. also u can get the dark iron ore, (which i have found alot of) for the thorium brotherhood. basically u can make alot of gold, and get some rep at the same time

Комментарий от 434474

You can take on these babies in either Winterspring or Eastern Plaguelands. If you have no competition there or if the time is late then go for the best of it.

Most of the Thorium is found in the southern side and the Sapphire dragon cave with some elites. if you don't want trouble visit the eastern plaguelands but you will have a shorter chance of finding them. though if your a DK or a higher level and willing to fight for it best find the most of them in Darkwhisper Gorge and the Sapphire dragon cave

Комментарий от kayerose61357

I have discovered a new Place for thorium in Winter spring, its right above the spot with 3 caves if You're going south . maybe 5 yards away, there's also one available on the rocks at the entrance of the three caves . :D hope that helps.

Комментарий от 333732

dont be fooled by the large numbers of pins on the map of the Eastern Plaguelands and Winterspring:

Azshara is the best place for rich thorium veins. very little competition, not many mobs surrounding the veins, and there are very few of other mineral veins so the game engine will pop them up more often

Комментарий от whocarez

I made a map that shows pretty much my exact route to use at 80, if your just trying to make money or level a profession, it focuses on rich thorium, but hits everything that's along the way.

It's a better source than the small vein

Комментарий от 223389

Wow! I feel really lucky, as I just got a great cache from on of these nodes.

Star Ruby
Azerothian Diamond
Arcane Crystal
Thorium Ore x4
Dense Stone x5

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to find the probability but I'll try:

4.0% x 1.1% x 1.0% = 0.00044%

Then soon after looting it, another node spawned right in its place but just had normal ore/stone.

Комментарий от 280323

Apparently, literally dozens of spawn points seem to have been added for these in Un'goro Crater. This may be only a (severe) glitch, but spawn amount and rate are over the top. :O

There are now Small and Rich Thorium Vein spawns all around the edge of Un'goro. I have just finished 2 1/2 round trips (me being the only one there between 3:15 and 4:45 a.m. and came out with:
235x Thorium Ore
325x Dense Stone
13x Arcane Crystal
2x Large Opal
3x Star Ruby
1x Blue Sapphire
1x Azerothian Diamond

Just. Bloody. Amazing.

PS: There were even more veins there but I couldn't get at those because of high-level Elite Stegodons (I'm only lvl 49)

Комментарий от orneman

i just took one time around in un'goro and i got 85 thorium ores, 3 arcane crystals, 2 star rubys and 3 azerothian crystals. damn that was much. got about 20 rich thorium veins and 3 small. TOO much for me =D

Комментарий от 553011

Two quick runs in Un'Goro Crater, just following the mountainside, got me the following:

Ore:

Thorium Ore: 128
Truesilver Ore: 2

-------------------------
Other:

Star Ruby: 2
Arcane Crystal: 2
Large Opal: 2
Huge Emerald: 5
Azerothian Diamond: 1
Dense Stone: 165

I didn't enter the cave at Lakkari Tar pits, (close to Marshal's Refuge) as two 80's was fighting for two Truesilvers and a Mithril in there.

Picking this road also got me to 300 Mining, as well as 300 Engineering.

TL;DR
Un'Goro Crater is a very sucessfull place to farm Thorium. At least on my server.
I suggest you to check Un'Goro Crater out whenever available, when searching for Thorium.

Note that I ignored every Mithril available, (there were quite a few, fyi) as it goes for a very low price on my server and I already had plenty of it.

edit:
I created a map of the route I took. I basically ran by the edge of the mountainside and entered the few areas accessable between the mountains when I saw them.

You can also (optionally) pick those places that I pinned out on a map. I didn't go there myself, as it would get me away from my route. Who knows, it might held a few veins for you.

Good luck!

Комментарий от 577868

Un'Goro is certainly the best place to farm Thorium. Specially if you are a DK with a Blood/Unholy Farm spec or a Paladin with Crusader Aura. The spawn rate for Thorium ore here is INSANE I've even had a couple of respawns at the same point a couple of seconds after I've mined some ore :O

Basically just as the map suggests run around Un'goro in a circle
After around 1 hour of Farming I had 402 Thoruim on me and a couple of Odd Gems
Great to Prospect the Ore and Level your JC or just level you BS with

This Area beats EP and WS hands down!

Комментарий от Sithari

Latest changes to mine go as follows:

Rich Thorium Vein requires 255 mining (old one: 275)
Truesilver Deposit requires 205 mining (old one: 235)

Also I agree with Un'Goro Crater, seems like the area was upgraded in later patches.
Think of it now as its counterpart Sholazar Basin: The most effective areas to mine Thorium/Saronite.

Комментарий от Thottbot

whats the difference between rich thorium veins and small thorium veins ?

Комментарий от Thottbot

Okay well, The other day i was running around looking for Rich Thorium veins and a friend of mine said i should try the Hives in Silithus. So i bumbed off there, and as you might you know, Blizzard nerfed the mobs, they're non elites now. So i could easy stealth around them and grab all the thorium there. Just walk into all of the caves there and when you're done at one hive, continue to another hive. That way you get the Thorium veins to respawn as you get back to the first hive (Theres 3 hives in all Hive'ashi, Hive'regal and Hive'zora.

Happy grinding,

The best location for rich thorium vein is Darkwhisper gorge (Winterspring). There are a lot of rich thorium veins. The only thing is that there are elite mobs, but that is no problem for rogue. However farm there those veins can anyone. If u carefully walk around it will be no problem. I did it with my hunter didnt even have to use feign death. If u aggro any mob u can still run away.

Комментарий от Thottbot

It seems that tigers get stuck in these veins all the time.

Thottbot tells me there is tiger meat to be found in them...

DARKWHISPER GORGE IS GREAT as long as u dont aggro the elites

Комментарий от Thottbot

Did they nerf DWG or what? been there at 5:00 am server time , no competition at all, ran the entire place like 3 times and bumped into just ONE vein... bad luck? nerfed? i don't know... i'm off to burning steppes.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Ive noticed that one of the most relyable spots to get ahold of a rich vein in un goro is on the mt. in the center of the map. There are about 4-5 key spots yielding one vein every 5 mins or so. serveral of these areas are accessable w/o any confrontations with the local elementals that inhabit it.

Комментарий от Thottbot

By far Silithis is the best place... I've gotten around 60 ores in 1 full circuit (Including the hives)... Very good, I'd suggest this place if your a dr00d or rogue (Stealth) and a higher level...

Комментарий от Thottbot

I also had poor luck with Darkwhisper Gorge after patch 2.4. Finding only three veins in over two hours of circling the entire place at around 3am server time.

I have yet to try Un Goro or Silithus, but have heard others in-game say they are good places to check.

I personally don't mind sticking with Burning Steppes and/or Searing Gorge as there are both small and rich veins there, plus loads of mithril which sells great in the AH even if it does not level your mining.

Комментарий от Thottbot

UnGoro yields a decent amount of Thorium. I also like to pick off power crystals while there - for use in some of the weaponsmith items. Not to mention that the mobs there are lower level and harder to aggro.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I found a LOT of rich/small thorium veins in Eastern Plaguelands so try there.(especially in those little canyon things)

Комментарий от Thottbot

I have been farming Thorium in Burning Steppes and mainly get the small deposits although recently all I seem to be getting is Dark Iron Ore.

The scar area in the centre of EPL is good as i have had only Rich deposits there and I have been getting arcane crystals aswell as other gems from the deposits.

Being a JC this comes in quite handy, all my ores get prospected to gems. I dont think the respawn rates are as good as they could be as I have ran by quite a few lvl 70's running around Burning Steppes and they seem to have farmed all the ore there :(

Комментарий от Thottbot

Go epl there is allot of Rich thorium vein sometime truesilver too if you need to grind it go there :) (it's better u use a 70 becuase then.. you don't need to kill all mobs arround)

Комментарий от Thottbot

You gotta be effin kidding me, EPL is horrible for finding RT. Been here for about an hour, found just 3 veins. The mobs are all over the place too where u need to find em, worst place of all the places Ive needed to find any kind of vein..In the northeast areas where RT is most concentrated its covered with scourge... I guess Im either unlucky or u guys are crazy lucky finding veins.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I've had a lot of luck in both EPL and un goro other places such as burning steppes or searing gorge mostly mithril (sells for a lot in the AH) and SIlithus also has a fair deposit of rich veins there

Комментарий от Thottbot

DWG sucks for rich veins now, if you want to mine thorium the place to be is Silithus.

Комментарий от Thottbot

EPL is the best place to find rich thorium veins in my opinion. However just walking around with your head up your ass isn't the best way to find nodes.

There's an add-on, "gatherer", that tells you where the nodes have been found in the past by other users (basically, it tells you which resources spawn where.) Using this I've found 5 rich thorium veins in about 10 minutes, However thats with a 70 running round without aggro. And I've only covered half the map!

With gatherer you can run straight to where they respawn, check them all, and then do another circle to get the ones that have respawned since you last checked. If you want to farm, do it efficiently :P

Steppes has been the best for me. Doesn't appear to be as heavily trafficked as Un'goro or Eastern Plaguelands.

Two circuits around and I went from 270 to 300. It's too bad Engineering doesn't go up this easy (the recipes take several bars of Thorium each proc.)

Goblin Engineers should bring a mining helmet, and all should bring a pair of gloves with Advanced Mining enchantment. This way, you can tap RTV's with 265 skill.

Moderately easy to farm in Burning Steppes because the mobs are relatively spread out or can be tethered.

I dont seem to find a whole lot of rich viens in un'goro. the best place in my opinion is Winterspring. Owl Wing Thicket sometimes has 1 or 2 viens. as well as mazthoril, but its mostly elites there so its sometimes a bit hard to mine without getting attacked. there is also a cave that is full of yeti's and has small throium viens and rich ones that is right near everlook called Ice Thistle Hills ... Its right beside winterfall village. the last place there is Dark Whisper Gorge... this place has basicaly all rich throium viens but also only has elites, like mazthoril, making it a bit harder to get the ore that you need.
Doing this run gets me up to 40 thorium ores in two hours or so and also some exp.

Hope this Helps!

Level 60 DK:

My skill was at 295 and I had been pointlessly running around and around Ungoro for an hour. I was competing with several other miners, so I decided to try a less popular spot.

I went first to EPL, because it is supposed to be a super good place for rich thorium (which may be true) - unfortunately the mobs there are all my level, and they are rather tightly packed everywhere I went. I couldn't travel more than a few yards without having to stop and fight off several of them.

I next decided to try Burning Steppes. Good move. The mobs there are a bit lower level, and they are more widely spaced. Within 5 minutes I found dark iron, thorium, truesilver, more thorium, and another truesilver, and that got me to 300. The best area seemed to be the lower center of the map. I had the place to myself, and got my points really quick.

All I wanted to know is where RT could be found; so thanks to those who listed areas. As for comparing one area to another...seems slightly arbitrary, as the best place for one person would be the worst place to the guy who got there right after him.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Is there a reason Blizzard does make these more available? Seem once you get to outlands, you can skill up to 375 in maybe 2 hours, where 250-300 may take days.

Комментарий от Thottbot

SILITHUS! For the love of deities go to silithus!

i spent maybe 1hour there and farmed 3 stacks, as well as lvling my mining to 300 before setting off to outland.

easy as a 78 dk... just ran into each hive.

I can safely say that each hive contains 2-6 ooze covered rt veins... i even found a small thorium vein near hive'ashi

If you don't wanna go there, thats your choice, but seriously it totally beats out wintergrasp and EPL.

Peace!

I was farming EP and i found 5 rich thorium and 13 small thorium, but they respawn almost at the same place, in 5-10 min after.

my loot was:
thorium = 48 ore
dense stone for jc = 55
gold ore = 4
mithrill ore = 12

nice for 1 hours work =)

MY LORD...Spawn Rates and Spawn Areas are based on Server... No one will have the same outcome unless you are on the same server...Therefore ASK AROUND YOUR SERVER...try the Trade Channel...there are enough Helpful ppl on at any time you will get at least one wisp if not more...

PLZ PLZ PLZ Listen and stop fighting about it...It is a Damn Game!

I dont know about other servers but on Darrowmere there are no freindly miners. period. all to busy ninjaing eachother. however i have had a lot of luck in silithus and wish all on darrowmere the best of luck.

Комментарий от Thottbot

These Rich Torium Veins is realy hard to find, and you need to be 275 in mining =(

Комментарий от Thottbot

Personally, when it comes to regular thorium veins, Tanaris worked very well, and you can still get skill ups on them till 300 if i remember correctly, but when it comes to Rich Thorium Veins, I have had a lot of luck in the hives in Silithus, and Dark Whisper Gorge. Silithus is where you should be if Un ' Goro is being farmed and you can't handle the elites in DWG. Also, the elites in DWG can drop from 12 silver to 20, and from killing 10 of them, i had 1.5g and 3 greens, so it is a very nice farmin spot.

wat mining lvl is it

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I am trying to fix the drop rate little by little, one node at a time, run WoW reader while you play kids, it makes stats more accurate

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Interesting that Arcane crystals have a 3% drop while the others are less than 1... All I have been getting lately is blue sapphires, az diamonds, huge emeralds, and opals.... And off the small ones no less...

I haven't seen an arcane crystal in probably 50 straight veins now, but I have 5 or 6 of every other crystal in that time.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

you do realize arcane crystals dont drop off of the small veins, right?...only the rich veins.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The first time ever mining on of these I got two arcane crystals in the same vein.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

zesty clam meat found in a rich thorium vein... wha?... *raises an eyebrow

Комментарий от Allakhazam

They need to run this database through a script and delete out these junk drops...

If the item dropped once in 439,000... you know it's not supposed to be there. Especially if it's retarded like Morrowgrain or clam meat of all things :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

maybe the area was once underwater and a clam got stuck to a vein :D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I feel sorry for the 3405 that mined it and got no Thorium Ore...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

too bad its not like you can find high level epics inside veins, that would be nice^^

Комментарий от Allakhazam

well, someone found a scroll of agility inside a copper vein...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I wanted to know the exact mining skill required to mine these, i keep getting different answers... someone said 255, others said 275... i just want a straight answer lol

Комментарий от Allakhazam

im just wondering where i can found mass amounts of rich thorium veins or even small ones if you guys dont know
thanks in advance

Комментарий от Allakhazam

yummay

Комментарий от Allakhazam

does anyone know the respawn rate of rich thorium veins?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

of course! didn't you know that rich thorium veins was clams before they ate so much thorium so that they became thorium veins! noob...... ;D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Rich thorium vein Requires Mining 275 to mine.

I can usually get 7-9 Rich Veins in one circle of Winterspring, along with a few Small ones that I see on the way from node to node.
I start in Everlook, then I...
1) Head to Ruins of Kel'Theril and get the Rich Vein there(there's always one there, unless it's been mined recently).
2) I head to Mazthoril and pick up the one Rich and one Small in the cave and I port out using the rune at the end.
3) Then I head to Frostwhisper Gorge and get the one Rich Vein there.
4) I then head to Darkwhisper Gorge and get the 2 or 3(sometimes I get 2, sometimes 3) veins there and sometimes a Small vein. Just head clockwise through each little valley, making a detour for the very southern one.
5) I head up towards Owl Wing Thicket and get the Rich Vein there, sometimes it's in a cave, so pay attention to the map because it'll be slightly harder to see because of the terrain on the map + darker color.
6) Up to Winterfall Village and get the Rich Vein there.
7) Northwest up to Frostsaber Rock and grab the Vein there.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Wednesday December 6th 2006 I mined an Arcane Crystal out of a small thorium vein.

No im not on crack, and yes i did a double take to make sure it was indeed a Small not Rich.

I was astonished.
: )

First time its happened ever for me and ive been mining for 7 months plus.
I think its an extremely low drop % off small thorium veins.

There is not a single vein at dark whisper. Don't move based on this map. Probably 2019 wow classic has a much different and harder vein distribution than vanilla but wowhead use the same data. It is not true.

Mining Ториевая руда from Малая ториевая жила requires level 245 skill & Богатая ториевая жила requires a level 275 skill.

Комментарий от piorek

I farmed Rich Thorium in EPL for last two days.

During that time, I've got 221 Thorium Ore and:
3 Arcane Crystals (1,36%)
6 Huge Emeralds (2,71%)
5 Blue Sapphires (2,26%)
1 Star Ruby (0,45%)
2 Large Opal (0,90%)
1 Azerothian Diamond (0,45%)

To sum up, gems droprate seems to be around 8,14%. I think 3% droprate for arcane crystal is too high :)
