Updated for patch 4.2.

Pyrite Ore is the highest level ore you can mine for in World of Warcraft, as of the release of the Cataclysm expansion. Pyrite is a rare node spawn of Elementium Ore, therefore you’ll find it in places that you would normally find Elementium. You must have a mining skill level of 525 in order to mine Pyrite, so you’ll have to be completely leveled up before you can start farming this ore. Pyrite is a good way for miners to make gold, but I recommend that if you are serious about your gold making you take a look at this Gold Course for the best techniques.

Pyrite Ore in Deepholm

Deepholm is the first zone in this guide. You need to be level 82 to enter this zone, so if this doesn’t work you can try out Twilight Highlands. For easy mining, I simply recommend that you level up until you can reach this zone and farm here at 82 instead of trying out Twilight Highlands at a low level.

Pyrite Ore in Twilight Highlands

You’ll find Pyrite in Twilight Highlands and you don’t need to be level 82 to enter the zone; however, the zone is levels 84-85 so if you aren’t that high of a level you’ll most likely have a difficult time mining if you get jumped by mobs. Keep this in mind before you set off to this zone.

Updated for patch 4.2.

Khorium Ore is the highest ore available in the burning crusade expansion. It is a random spawn ore and the place holder is adamantite. Wherever adamantite spawns, especially Rich Adamantite, a Khorium Vein can pop up in it’s place. It requires 375 skill to mine. If you are trying to make gold with your mining take a look at this Gold Guide for tips.

The two zones I’ve chosen are Nagrand and Terrokar Forest, but you will find it in just about every zone. (continue reading…)

Titanium Ore is the high end mineral that is mined in Wrath of the Lich King.  It requires 450 skill to mine  and titanium can only be found in higher level zones. If you are trying to mine Titanium for gold you might be interested in learning better ways to make gold as in this Gold Course.

Titanium Ore comes from a Titanium Vein which are primarily located in Sholazar Basin, The Storm Peaks, Icecrown, and Wintergrasp.  Titanium Veins are random spawns and have a place holder.  The place holding ore for a Titanium Vein is a Saronite Deposit or Rich Saronite Deposit.  Almost every Saronite Deposit in these zones has a chance to spawn a Titanium Vein in that same location when the node respawns.  In the next section we will discuss the location of Titanium in these zones.
