I actually make a good amount of money farming these on my rogue... make the stone and thorium, and sell thorium shells, then if I get an arcane crystal I get it made into a bar and make it into a converter, then sell that as well.

If you have a friend in Silithus you can play the 'Silithus Thorium Game', you both farm like crazy for two hours and whoever has the most gets a cookie. Or lunch. Great game.

I think this is the best place to farm for thorium on a rogue. There are lots of rich nodes, very little competition, and plenty of small ones scattered around as well.

If you run into any of these nodes in a room with Hive Zora Wasps in it, leave it alone unless you have a death wish. They are all linked, so if you aggro one, you aggro all five of them (they always seem to be in groups of 5+) and their poison quickly stacks up 10 times. Hive Zora is the nest on the West side of the zone.

Note that all the bugs around them are now non-elite, making farming here by far easier.

As of patch 2.4.2, it seems that some of these veins have been replaced with Ooze Covered Truesilver veins. Ive done farming runs in hive Ashi and regal and never found true silver veins till just now, which means there are less thorium veins for the taking.

Kommentar von Obolox

The bugs you encounter are not worth farming these, imo. Go to Burning Steppes. For the most part you won't have to fight a single enemy while farming in that zone.

Interestingly, unlike any other mining node in the game I've seen so far, you can walk through these (as of 3.0.3.) On a different note, Silithus is by far the best place I've been to mine Thorium, just from a density standpoint. If you can deal with the mobs, you can get around 2-3 veins per hive.

in silithus the majority of them are iside the caves withen the 3 nexts areas clearly indicated on the map

ok short and sweet.

Very easy to mine for a 70.

The math of farming Ooze Covered Rich Thorium Vein.

80G/Stack (on my server)
4 Stacks/Hr (70 epic ground mount)

so thats:

80(gold/stack)
X
4(Stacks/Hr)
____________
320(Gold/Hr)
_____________

Price of Clasic Game Ores (that requir a skill or 200+) are going to be in high demand and low in supply. That is why the price is high. you can get alot of gold just farming clasic game ore and that is what i am doing to get my epic flyer.

if i can farm 3.5 hrs a day i can get my epic flyer in less than a week. and still have some spare gold.

I surgest trying to ither dominate the clasic high skill ore market or controll it. eather way you will make a ton of gold.

please feel free to post comments or refine my comment in any way that will improve it.

By an enormous FAR the best place to farm thorium.

5 veins to a major hive, 3 major hives, you're in business.

Kommentar von Veora

Easily the best place to farm thorium, around 5-6 nodes within each hive.

Kommentar von 282056

Doublewire's comment is fail. I am actively farming these in Silithus in each of the 3 hives and the most I have found is 2 per. "5 veins to a major hive" LOL That would mean that at any given time, there are 15 veins sitting in Silithus waiting to be mined, ALL AT ONCE!
btw I am the only person in Silithus atm. Including Allies.

Kommentar von Morbul

These are by far the best source of Thorium for fast leveling of mining and to quickly stock up for your professions.

I have to ask; What's the difference between and Oooze Covered Rich Thorium Vein and a regular Rich Thorium vein? Just the name? Or does one drop more gems than the other or something like that?

Kommentar von 18495

I went out here on my DK alt to gather up some thorium to level my blacksmithing because I'd heard it was the best place to gather thorium. I spent about an hour and a half out here going to all of the hives multiple times and only gathered 14 ore. I got some gems out of there, but that's not what I'm going for right now. I also thought someone else may be out there, but I logged over horde side and saw no one out there. I was literally alone in Silithus and had a really bad time. :(

I'm going to Winterspring to see if that's any better. It looks like the spawn rate got nerfed pretty badly.

Kommentar von Uinri

Still fairly good a place to farm for Thorium as of 3.2. In each hive there are 3 "caves" or so where there are usually 1~2 nodes each, that's easily a stack per hive, giving you roughly 3 stacks each round. One note though, if you're not capable of dealing with poison and lots of melee mobs at the same time this might not be for you. In Hive Zora, the wasps are bound to pile in on you and start stacking poison like stupid. The mobs themselves are hard to deal with, but you often die right after. I did this on a 59 Blood DK and died a couple of times because of that stupid poison. I swapped characters for a pally and cruised through the places.

I can't help but picture that default screenshot as a face.
Once you see it, it never turns normal. :<

Kommentar von 452752

i went round the hives in silithus and got 58 thorium ores :D

Kommentar von blademage

ok if i can make 80-90 thorium ores in un'goro and know where all the nodes are (roughly) does it make sense to go here and start all over when in 3 levels ill be going to outland with 315 mining skill?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Probly the place ill be staying at for awhile now reached 70.... my minings maxedout but cos of lack of excess materials i only have a bs skill of 260. but now cos of this area ive paid off all the thorium brotherhood q's and can now keep grinding imperial bracers....

mobs are nothing to write home about either

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a Pally, if I see a rogue or anyone else going for a mineral vein, I grab as much aggro as I can and run to the little ninja. Then I just throw up divine shield and all those mobs go straight for him. It's funny and it teaches them a lesson. Plus the vein is now free to mine.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not that I blame Rogues for doing this...but it is so disheartening to fight your way into these areas to mine, in hopes of inding a crystal, only to have a rogue sneak by and take the vein. (Just venting)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the way you said it, it's as if you're being the ninja since "if I see a rogue or anyone else going for a mineral vein, I grab as much aggro as I can and run to the little ninja." all you people out there that can't stealth your way to mine should chill out chances are that if you saw the vein either on screen or on the minimap they have too. don't be bitter about how we have an advantage over you guys since we can stealth. don't get me wrong if i see someone fighting mobs to get to a mine or treasure chest i let them have it since i've had plenty of punks ninja my chests and nodes from me in the earlier levels up through 60 and it's just disheartening.. but yea if someone tries to be smart and throw up their shield and let me die that usually won't work .. oh and the funny thing is if it's a rogue you'll be the dead corpse on the ground not the rogue

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I agree on that one. It doesn't always even take a rogue though. Anyone can lay back until they see that you are on the last mob between you and the vein, then just run past and start mining it. I personally don't do this unless i see a horde char going for it (im alliance) :)

Mining Thoriumerz from Kleines Thoriumvorkommen requires level 245 skill & Reiches Thoriumvorkommen requires a level 275 skill.
