Something you mine to get just gems, no ore. Interesting addition.

Now where is it?

Kommentar von klokie

Probably in either Black Temple or Mount Hyjal, a better way of finding the epic gems.

They are in Hyjal after you clear a camp. They are along the road.

Went on the test PTR's and found 5 Ancient Gem Veins - you have to clear the 2nd boss camp and kill the 2nd boss for these to spawn.

Can anyone please post a screenshot of this node?

Can you stealth in and farm these babies?

Kommentar von frmorrison

To get these veins, talk to Proudmoore/Thrall after the bosses are down, the veins spawn when the scourge come to devour the city (they spawn in between the alliance and horde camps).

Spawn between Alliance and Horde Camp, after u down Rage Winterchill and Anetheron, and between Horde Camp and Night Elves Village after u kill Kaz'rogal and Azgalor. In both cases veins spawns along the road to next camp. Maxed mining skill needed to mine,

Usually only 2-3 hits per vein, and the droprate of green gems seems extremely high.

Purple gems mined from these can be bought for x15 badges on PTR

Kommentar von Holkin

" Mining nodes in MH don't appear to drop green gems anymore, have a higher rate on epic gems and now drop a grey fragment that sells for 30g/stack (20 stack)."

According to worldofraids.com as of patch 2.4

Kommentar von Franz

From mining a few nodes since patch 2.4, you can expect to see anywhere from 5-8 epic gems after mining all the veins. Also, it's very possible to not mine anything but the fragments from a single vein. It was, however, a much needed improvement over the old system.

For a chance of getting more gems and crystal fragments, be sure to have your Mining skill maxed.
And when I say maxed, I mean have an Engineer mine them, because he can have both http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10542 and http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=13841 :D

It would be incredible if these were in LK normally.

I wouldn't put it past blizzard..

Kommentar von 92712

I was wondering if you could go in, alone, after you have killed the 2 first bosses and mine the veins.
Since my guild stopped the raid after we had killed the 2 first ones, and dindnt mine anything?

Kommentar von 148236

What I was wondering is our group killed everyone but Archimonde and some people got the veins. My question is do those respawn? Can I back in and pick them up?

Kommentar von Omgomgesiuol

Haven't seen any of these spawn in the past 3 times I've done Hyjal, and I've been with non miners each time.

Do they spawn anymore? There's nothing on the patch notes about them being gone, but it does seem pretty weird.

Kommentar von thunderold

I did see one on my last run 07 may 2012

Kommentar von anepicman

i love mining these things :D

Kommentar von gyunter

For those who're trying to farm these with low skill in mining: this still DOES requires 375 skill to mine nodes, unlike other nodes after 6.0.2

Kommentar von hayme212

Currently impossible to mine due to profession changes in 8.0.1.

Kommentar von TerribleAtGames

These nodes despawns when leaving and reentering the instance after the bosses are killed, so make sure to mine them while you are there.

Kommentar von trappum

9/25/21 Tried to farm them just by going through the portal at the Caverns of Time, but nothing, not one single node. I guess you have to be in an active raid for them to spawn.

Kommentar von Madr

The Ancient Gem Veins are still available as of Shadowlands, you just have to know how to run through the raid in proper sequence so the veins spawn.

Go to the Caverns of Time and go down, down, down and through some pine trees to find the entrance to the raid called The Battle for Mount Hyjal. (Although this instance is usually referred to as "Hyjal Summit," in game it is actually called "The Battle for Mount Hyjal.")

Once you get to the bottom of CoT, your map will show you numerous instance locations, and you can see this one to the northwest of the map.

/way 39.42 17.01 Hyjal Summit entrance

Once you enter the instance, run a few dozen yards straight/south to go through another portal. This will put you in the Alliance Base.

Do a pirouette and you will see Lady Jaina Proudmoore standing right behind you. Talk to her to start the encounter. (You don't need any "companions," solo is fine if you are high enough level to handle the mobs alone.)

There are 8 waves of ghouls, a cinch at max level but a bit tedious to wait for them all. After you kill all 8 waves, Rage Winterchill comes. He will stun a lot so get your hits in on him quickly.

After you kill Rage Winterchill, go talk to Lady Jaina Proudmoore again to start the next encounter. 8 more waves, then you kill Anetheron. Talk to Jaina *again* and say "Until we meet again, Lady Proudmoore." The veins won't spawn unless you do this! After this final conversation, Jaina ports herself out.

Now follow the road southeast a few yards, sharp turn and head northeast up the hill and along the winding mountain road. Clearing all the new trash is optional, your veins have spawned! Head east toward the Horde Encampment, mining along the way. I found 5 nodes of Ancient Gem Vein on the way to the Horde Encampment.

Ride all the way into the Horde Encampment, bear right/southeast to find Thrall. Talk to Thrall, kill 8 waves then Kaz'rogal. You have to run around the camp a bit to get all the mobs in each wave; the "Invading Enemies" counter at the top of your screen tells you how many you have left to kill before the next wave. I had trouble finding the last couple enemies on a couple waves, and eventually the friendly NPCs finished them off and the next wave started.

After you kill Kaz'rogal, talk to Thrall again. 8 more waves then Azgalor.

After you kill Azgalor, talk to Thrall AGAIN so your veins will spawn! Then head southeast on the main road toward Nordrassil. You'll start seeing your nodes once you get up in the hills. I found 5 nodes on the way into Nordrassil ("Night Elf Village").

That's the end of your Ancient Gem Veins for this run, but after you sunk all this time into it you might as well go kill the final boss, Archimonde. No waves of mobs, just go kill him to the northwest of the big Nordrassil tree on your map.

It's a raid so you can only do it once per toon, per week. I don't know if I'll do it again any time soon because I was lucky enough to get what I came for on my first run (I wanted two Edeltopas so I can craft Verschnörkeltes Khoriumgewehr).

Altogether from this one run I got two Gischtsmaragd, three Pyrostein, one Schattensangamethyst, one Löwenauge, two Engelssaphir, one Purpurspinell, one Nachtauge, and two Edeltopas.
