Náomi:

no you cannot have the mats handed to you on a plate, took me ages to farm mine

No, I do not want that it would be handed to me on plate. I just want to ease the time to do it. It's now just pain in the ass to get some khorium, people do not gather much in outland, so the veins respawn less, so the chance of getting khorium is also much lesser.

It doesn't spawn lesser, you just suck at farming. It would take you less time if u did it right n Blizz shouldn't cater to you.

Moist > Well if you are so expert on farming, then tell me how should I do it right, grant me your wisdom and tell me how not to suck on farming...

From personal experience... I spent 20-30 minutes the other night and found 3 Khorium veins in Nagrand/Shadowmoon without much effort. That was without gathermate or routes or any fancy addon. There is an even better spawn rate in IQD.

It's tiresome, sure, but they are there to be mined if you go looking.

indeed khorium is a pain in the ass nowadays. farmed about 3 hours and got only 9 khorium ores...

I just did the khorium bit for this char, wasn't really a problem getting it mid-day.

If no one else is out there farming the mats then that should make it easier for you to get it than when we were all out there back in the day competing with each other.

I remeber guild anouncements when a non miner found some khorium and it was about a page and a half of people logging off and logging on their miners, and "the game was afoot"...

Some things should remain RARE! That's the WHOLE POINT OF IT!

stop whining to make this game any more casual it's becoming so BAD lately.

Just no.

Theres tons of khorium in negrand and i sold the adamantite ore i got for 50g a stack made 3k of that alone

I ran trough hellfire and mining my way to Shadowmoon valley and took two circles there, maybe 1,5 hours of mining and I got 5, I don't see the trouble here. Just start at one end and mine your wau trough Outland!

I think they should spawn at least 4 nodes per map and then somewhat rare.

And to all of those players yelling NO!, the times of vanilla are over, its stupid to farm for hours and get 1-12 ores or maybe even none.

isle of quel danas.

lvl 70 only zone.

yields rich adamantite ores. and best spawn rate for khorium veins. the veins are also on a very fast spawn rate. and always in the same place.

problem solved

Most people don't understand how khorium works, going on a route once does not mean that it is a good or a bad route, as it is entirely affected by a) luck b) the rest of the zones spawns and c) whether the person before/during can even mine hte khorium.

Khorium is a rare spawn of any outland vein, very rare in fact. Going to Quel'danas only increases your chances to see khorium (barely) because of the fact you can mine 1 random node roughly every 30 seconds. Other places will be better with RNG.

This all being said I spent a long time selling adamantite in wrath due to it's high demand and high sale price at the time, farming quel'danas. I can tell you for every stack of adamantite I found I would not find 1 khorium ore. Closer to 3 stacks, maybe. It would be 100's of adamantite for me to find a node, and this was after having mined and sold thousands of adamantite being alone on quel'danas for days/weeks.
