Best Mining Routes 300-375: Fel Iron, Adamantite & Khorium | WoW TBC Anniversary

Q: What is the best zone for gold farming without flying?

Nagrand: Circuit Warmaul Hill caves, chasms, lakeside/underwater veins. Density + drops = 300-500g/hr Phase 1.

Q: When should I smelt ores versus sell raw?

Smelt near Shattrath forges for skill-ups; sell raw if ore > bar price. Phase 1: Smelt Fel Iron + Mote Fire into Felsteel Bars (4 ore +1 mote = 20-50g profit/flip).

In TBC Anniversary Phase 1 (Dark Portal open Feb 5), Mining crushes early gold supremacy—Fel Iron veins <1g/stack prospect JC gems (20-50g flips), smelt Felsteel for BS (200-500g/hr routes). Steady node runs outpace AH frenzy, fueling Eng/BS/JC demand before Phase 2.

Why Mining Fuels TBC Anniversary Wealth

Mining extracts ore veins across Outland, yielding bars via smelting at forges. Activate Find Minerals to spotlight nodes on your minimap—essential for efficiency.

Node	Min Skill	Primary Yield	Spawn Zones
Fel Iron Deposit	300	Fel Iron Ore (4/stack smelt)	All Outland (Hellfire densest)
Adamantite Deposit	325	Adamantite Ore	Zangarmarsh, Terokkar, Nagrand, Blade's Edge, Shadowmoon, Netherstorm
Rich Adamantite Dep.	350	2-3 Adamantite Ore	Same (rarer)
Khorium Vein	375	Khorium Ore	Replaces Adamantite nodes (Nagrand prime)

Smelt during downtime near Shattrath forges to chain skill-ups without travel loss, bypassing field vendor dependency.

Top Pairings to Double Your Haul

Engineering: Zapthrottle Mote Extractor grabs Air Motes from clouds mid-loop.
Jewelcrafting: Prospect ore for gems; self-supply epic gear.

Anniversary servers amplify yields—ore demand surges 2-3x at launch, turning loops into 200-500g/hour gold machines.

Ore	Skill Req.	Prime Zone/Loop	Est. GPH (Phase 1 Fresh)
Fel Iron	300+	Hellfire Peninsula: Full circuit (Honor Hold-Thrallmar loops /way 54 60-52 36)	200-400g
Adamantite	325+	Nagrand: Warmaul Hill caves + SE-NW chasms (/way 55 35 caves)	300-600g
Khorium	375	Nagrand: Lakes/underwater + plateau edges (/way 32 44 Sunspring)	400g+ (rare hits)

Adamantite Power Circuits

No Fly: Nagrand rules density—Warmaul Hill caves, SE-NW chasms, Sunspring lakes underwater.
Fly: Netherstorm: West upper loop near Manaforges; south edges for low-threat Adamantite.

Khorium Jackpot Plays

Rare replacements favor Adamantite hotspots: Nagrand > Netherstorm. Veins repop via zone turnover—mine EVERY node to force spawns. Guild raids (5-40 players) blitz entire zones, slashing respawn times beyond solo timers.
