These are percentages based on 150 prospects (750 ore). YMMV, its all subject to change, but here's what I got. I took one (more actually) for the team, and figured I would post my results. Wotlk has been out less than 2 weeks, but tons of info is coming in, some conflicting. And Ice Crown has even more Saronite Nodes than that of the Basin, and they spawn even closer to each other(referring to the lore above).Ĭomment by 255750Hello all, I enjoy cruising this site from time to time, and thought I could contribute my own findings. That is why you can see army of Ner'thas the Lick King usually wield weapon and armor made of saronite that is also why you can mine shadow from it.Įdit: In both Storm Peaks and Ice Crown will Saronite/Rich Saronite Nodes spawn. All colors "spawn" with same chance so data here must be somehow distorted.īackground lore of Saronite: Saronite is formed by clotted blood of old god Yogg-Saron who dwell in Northrend and showed up in War3-TFT as the Forgotten One(Old Gods will play a main role in future instances in Storm Peaks I won't spoil more). No powders drop atm, probably never will. Prospecting saronite ore will "spawn" around 20-25% rare gems. Normal nodes can be mined 2-4 times, and rich ones can be mined 5-7 times.īeware that hardened saronite bar does nothing atm so don't make it till it patches!


Rich nodes are just rare replacements of the non-rich ones. Comment by 95744Can be found either in Zul'drak or in Sholazar Basin, but in Basin saronite spawn in a ridiculously fast speed, so Basin will be a much better choice if you want to mine saronite(mining speed is around 200 ores per hour with 280% flying mount, 450 maxed mining and 400ms lag).
