They are mined from dark iron deposits and they have a drop rate of about 0.5%. Theyre used for rep with the Thorium Brotherhood, and for various Thorium Brotherhood recipes. Its also used for the enchanting recipe Smoking Heart of the Mountain.

They occasionally drop from molten giants and molten destroyers in MC.

The drop rate from Molten Destroyers isn't accurate, as they have a chance to drop nothing at all which goes unrecorded by Wowhead and skews the percentage.

Either I'm the unluckiest person in WoW, or these have an insanely low drop rate from mining dark iron ore. I've leveled several miners over the last 2+ years of playing, and only gotten one Blood of the Mountain from several hundred of nodes tapped.

Anyone else have the same experience?

After reading the comments here that says they are incredibly rare, i guess i have to be lucky since i turned in over 20 blood for my thorium rep, and just because i wouldnt buy any blood higher than 20g.

just got 3 of em in one mc run

anyone know if it can be prospected from thorium or dark iron ore ?

That 8% drop rate is indeed inaccurate.
I've done nearly 50+ soft resets trying to get mats for Sulfuron Hammer with not a single drop.
The few I've obtained, I've obtained them through AH and 1 out of maybe 100+ Dark Iron Veins.

Just to add for those thinking about selling them, they go for a lot more than the 25G listed here. Start at 1000g and work your way down. I've found they don't last that long on the ah though.

What's the best way to farm these? Bring a miner? Visit MC, kill destroyers, wait a day and come back to kill them?

Because I really don't want to have to buy these...

评论来自 zarathorn

I may be just getting lucky, but while soloing my way through MC trash (Crap geared DK, can't kill bosses) I got two from dark iron veins and one as a drop in one day. Perhaps the drop rate has been increased for some unknown reason. Anyone else noticing this?

If you really want to farm this, kill the destroyers in MC, log out for 30 mins or so, then they will respawn. You're guaranteed at least 4 destroyers (near Garr) but the other groups of 2 can sometimes have 1 destroyer 1 giant

Good luck farming!

Since I resubbed my account, I have been soloing all of MC, mining every Dark Iron deposit and killing every Molten Destroyer. In this time (approximately 3 months) I have gotten 9 Ingots, an Eye of Sulfuras, all of the other mats, except only one Blood of the Mountain (from a Dark Iron deposit). I already had 3 on my bank alt from pre-TBC.

Honestly, you're better off just spamming in trade chat and making an offer for people to check their bank alts. I offered 100g a piece and got the remaining 6 in < an hour, and this was on an extremely low pop server.

Theese are currently listed for 1k gold on AH on my server.

It´s worth noting that the trash in MC respawn after a soft reset so the Molten Destroyers are solo farmable for tanks. Atleast I had no problem pulling upto 8 mobs at a time on my alt protpala.

It takes roughly 15-20 mins. to kill all the Molten Destroyers and run back out, i got a drop on every other run, so I found it way faster to farm MC trash than to try and mine it.

I found one off a mob in molten core, either molten giant or molten destroyer.

评论来自 Thottbot

That means a Dark Iron deposit has been looted that many times.

评论来自 Thottbot

Where can I find the black forge? I have got all the pieces, but have not been able to find the black forge. To enable me to to craft the item. I have been in 3 times and have not found the forge. Where should I be looking?

评论来自 Thottbot

Got it off for 60g on Nathrezim for a priest friend. Original offer was for 80g. After reading the above post, am satisfied that I got a good deal.
WOOT

No you can't...cuz the item is Unique.

yea... screw the trinket save em for the sulfuron hammer!

Found two of these tonight, within about an hour of each other, in Searing Gorge. One was from a Dark Iron Ore vein in the North West corner near the Twilight camp. The other was from a vein on the ridge in the South West corner, just a bit north of the ramp leading into Blackrock Mountain.

Had a good run... 30 Thorium ores, 1 Arcane Crystal, 1 Blue Sapphire, 20 Dark Iron Ore, 20 Mithril ore, 10 Gold ore, 13 Truesilver ore, 3 Silver ore, and last, but definitely not least, the satisfaction of knowing that the Chinese gold farmers that were farming Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge at the same time are just that little bit poorer from me being there. :D

im a lvl 46 and a miner and was running around searing gorge and found one :) its weird cus ive only mined like 10 dark iron veins in my life...guess i got lucky

评论来自 Thottbot

Never got a blood from a dark iron before... Just mined one right next to the refuge, blood x2, and 4 ore =)

评论来自 Thottbot

I wanted a couple for some Dark Iron gloves. My guild has a ton of cores. A lot of bars. No blood. I personally (outside of guild runs) have mined about 400 dark iron. 1 blood. Are we really just that unlucky?

评论来自 Thottbot

I was mining in Burning Steppes and while mining Dark Iron ore I got this gem.

评论来自 Thottbot

The only mob listed to have dropped it was Molten Destroyer at the admirable droprate of 0.1%. How lame. They should give the same droprate to the enemies of all the Blackrock Mountain instances, 0.1% isn't that much of a handout.

评论来自 Thottbot

I just got one tonight off a Dark Iron Vein. Only found 1 in the ah it was going for 45-50g I believe.

评论来自 Thottbot

If your server is like mine, Blood of the Mountains are very hard to come by in the Auction House. I'm working on making Hand of Rag just for fun, but I've found Bloods to be the rarest ingredient. If you don't want to mess with the low drop rate from mining or can't mine anyway, farm Molten Destroyers.

The drop rate is significantly higher from Molten Destroyers (I've seen 2 drop in a row) then it is from mining. But what's really awesome is you can go back and farm the destroyers even if you are saved to a full MC clear; the trash repops every few hours even if Rag is dead (minus the annoying pats).

As for the group setup at 80, Destroyers (which pull in pairs) can be farmed solo by fairly geared tanks, feral druids, ret paladins and the like. Clothies may want to bring a friend. Also, you can pretty much walk right up to the Destroyers without having to worry about the other trash. Hope this helps.

Apparently this item is not needed anymore to make Smoking Heart of the Mountain. It now requires Essence of Fire x3 instead of x1 and Small Brilliant Shard x3.

评论来自 Thottbot

Found one of these while mining dark ore in searing gorge. I didn't think much of this until I listed it in the AH. Average price for one of these is 100+ gold in my server.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I got one from the Dark Iron Ore deposit just before Bael'Gar in BRD.

评论来自 Allakhazam

u must be joking... got 2 of my first two DI veins...

评论来自 Allakhazam

For a server that doesn't farm molten core terribly often, and when they do, they don't go out of their way to mine the deposits, is it unreasonable to put one up for a sell price of 200g starting bid?

评论来自 Allakhazam

It may just have been luck, but these seem to be mined much more frequently from Molten Core Dark Iron Deposits than they are from Blackrock Depths deposits.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I think these are virtually unheard of in world drops (i.e. dark iron veins in the world zone not in the dungeons). I got one from a dark iron vein that spawned inside Morgan's Vigil (I have also gotten a small thorium vein in there), but in the dozens of other veins, nothing.

Several people have said the drop rate is much, much better in the dungeons, so maybe I'll try there...if I can find a group.

评论来自 Allakhazam

LOL, just mined my first ever Dark Iron Deposit at BRD and this dropped. :D

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just looted mine from a Dark Iron Deposit in Burning Steppes. And this is on the same day that I got an Arcane Crystal and Large Opal from the same vein, got a Blue Sapphire and Aquamarine from separate veins and sold an Enchanting formula for 35g. Man, I am on fire!

Edit: I just got another Arcane Crystal, and I'm bloody ecstatic. :)
Edit 2: ANOTHER Arcane Crystal. I'm beside myself with happiness.

total value from my 1 hour of mining 300g

Happy warlock =]

评论来自 Allakhazam

how much faction is this worth compared to a stack of ore?

评论来自 Allakhazam

I believe that these (and black diamonds) loot far more often in molten core, more often in BRD and extremely rarely in world deposits, personally I have mined 200 ores as world loot, no gems, 40 in BRD, 1 blood and around 80 in MC with 2 diamonds and I believe 2 of these.

评论来自 Allakhazam

200g is outrageous

50g tops - they go for 30-35 normally
