Saronite Ore is one of the most common ores you’ll farm in Wrath of the Lich King, mainly because people mine it while trying to find Titanium. However, Blizzard has been and is currently implementing more uses for Saronite. Saronite can be converted into Titanium now, etc, so it’s still a fairly high demand ore even though it’s mined in mass quantity everyday.

I’ll admit it can be hard to farm for even Saronite at times (Titanium is even worse ) because of all the players trying to farm it and sell it on the Auction House for a profit. If you are simply mining for gold I suggest you take a look at this Gold Course as it might be of great help to you.

You must be 400 to mine Saronite Deposit and 425 skill to mine Rich Saronite Deposit. The two zones that I’ve chosen are Sholazar Basin and Icecrown.

Saronite Ore in Icecrown

This route is the one I’ve used the most to farm Saronite, sometimes it gets crowded in Icecrown and you’ll notice that you’re not getting any ore, if this happens break the route and fly to a different section of it or turn around and fly the reverse way because more than likely someone is ahead of you mining.

Saronite Ore in Sholazar Basin

Sholazar Basin is loaded Saronite Ore, everywhere you go in the zone you’ll run into some.  I’ve added a few different alternative routes you can follow for Sholazar.  The reason I’ve added so many options is because it’s heavily farmed and you’ll want to vary your route.
