This is the new "Uncommon" mineral node that can be found in the Cataclysm expansion zones.

These mineral nodes can drop the following:
gems
volatile fire
volatile water
volatile earth

In addition, these nodes have a chance at dropping the rare quality pet Elementium Geode. The pet is a BOE item, so it can be sold or traded by miners.

NOTE: These mineral veins have no relation to the Elementium Ingot that is in game and drops in BWL

Kommentar von Zyland

Also miners who have engineering and this in their bags will also have a chance at receiving Volatile Air

Kommentar von Raynre

At what skill level can these nodes be mined?

Kommentar von undyingvisage

twilight highlands is the best place to farm for elementium. deepholm has too many nodes in caves and thats pretty annoying to navigate everytime you see a greyed out yellow dot. TH also has pyrite. and a good simple circuit to run. :2thumbsup:

Kommentar von Rawbert

The best spot I've found for farming Elementium Ore was the cave in Twilight Highlands at 37.6, 88.6. Stealth classes have the advantage here since there are a lot of mobs. After trying Deepholm and circling Twilight Highlands, I saw the infamous dark yellow dot and went in. The respawn rate here is nonstop, going from the front of the cave to the back, I found at least 10 nodes up at once.

Spent about three hours there getting the mats to max engineering, and never had down time moving from the front of the cave to the back and back again.

If you're a druid or rogue, I'd recommend checking it out.

Although not in the lists of loot, the Rich Elementium Veins and Elementium Veins have a rare chance to drop the Elementium Geode companion pet. This pet is NOT bind on pickup, so it can be sold to other players.

Yes, the elementium vein next to the waterfall in Twilight Highlands is bugged.
You don't have to spend 15minutes looking for it.

"extremely rare" sry for my lol maybe extrermely stupid to call it a pet.I have this wannabe pet ,a pal mail it 2 me so it's not so rare afterall i guess... well this is my humble op and prediction this will be the most unpopular pet so sell it now when ppl still don't have it @ high prices.

Kommentar von Hershey428

The elementium depths in the twilight highlands is a great place to farm, so long as you can figure out a way to weave through the mobs, such as mind soothe or camouflage. Also the occasional pyrite.

I gained 9680 exp mining this as a lvl 83 warrior with a 525 skill in mining.

Kommentar von Swordy

Deepholm is awful now. 30 minutes and nothing. I used to think it was because of all the miners on my server..

Kommentar von buzz3070

For the lore side of this, this ore is not native to Azeroth. This ore is actually from the elemental plane of earth known as
Deepholm. Before the shattering it was a very rare thing to have as the stone mother therazane would not allow the ore to go beyond her realm. After Deathwing broke out of Deepholm during the cataclysm elementium became more readily Avalible on the surface of Azeroth.

I find twilifght higlands best place to farm this. Deepholm is better for Obsidium, from my recent findings (was leveling BS). Just follow the flight path, you'll go round in circle, just in time for nodes to respawn. Don't forget cave at 56. 84., no enemies, you can fly inside, I usualy found 4-5 nodes to mine. Ignore big cave, unless you are stealth class, too much enemies to fight, not worth the time.

Has anyone else got an Elementium Geode from this or the rich vein? My main toon just got one 2 days ago from a vein in TB Penninsula and it's not even on the list of possible items. I thought I would come and see ther percentage and it's not even listed! lol Just curious. :)

Kommentar von Ooglepants

this must be an extremely rare drop, but I got this MINING in Twilight Highlands.

Elementium Geode

I mine alot, so i'm guessing a very, very rare drop.

Below is the most common route in which I farm for gems, ore and volatile.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b201/wonderwoman481/uldum_nodes.jpg

I usually only have to go maybe 3 or 4 times around Uldum before I have 10 or so stacks of elementium and 3 or 4 stacks of pyrite ore.

Here are some tips that might prove helpful and to keep in mind when mining (anywhere):

- There are going to be others mining. If someone is racing you to a node, just let them have it. Go on your merry way and get the next one. By racing them to the node, not only do you risk not getting it, but you risk in not getting the next one as well. Also, it may not end well for you if on a pvp realm. (Thankfully, I'm not.)

- If you find yourself racing between multiple people for nodes, turn around and go the other way. Remember that not only do nodes spawn in front of you, but also behind you.

- Get 310 flying. Not only does this help your chances, but if someone really wants to race you (as most do), you'll have a better chance of winning.

- Keybind your favorite mount. For example, I hotkeyed mine to the "R" button. I didn't have it associated with anything else, was the nearest to my finger controls, and figured it'd help me quite a bit. Not only does it keep you from having to move your mouse over to a button on your action bars, but it will help when needing to mount/dismount. This can also prove to help in other situations ... such as Tol Barad. :)

- Be aware that if you're not level 85, you're going to encounter aggressive NPCs. There are plenty of hyenias, scorpions and other various NPCs that can kill you. I cannot tell you the amount of times I've seen someone die from trying to mine. If you can't kill the NPC on your own (before or after you mine the node), then don't attempt to mine something next to NPCs that can attack you. Quite obvious, but obviously needs to be said.

Hope all this helps. I mine at least once or twice a day this exact route. Also makes for some good money making. :)

For the best resource for determining mining levels as well as the best zones to farm them in, browse through the Mineral Veins listing.

10 minutes farming elementium in TH. I got 51 elementium, along with about 3 nodes of pyrite. I'm farming TH. Elementium depths has NPCs in it that will attack. I dont think its worth it to go into them. just keep flying around.

85 BE hunter. 310 Flying. Bonechewer

Kommentar von daknotc

Before you down rate this at least try it. Lately I have started mining in Tol Barad and I must say it is amazing. Within an hour I normally get about 10-12 stacks of elementium and 2-3 stacks of Pyrite. In each circle there are 7 veins where each vein will spawn in 1 of 3 spots in across the map. I highly suggest this area if you do not mind being on a ground mount and pvp as sometimes people from the other faction do come here but very few of them do. You can go in any direction since it is just a circle around TB. Here is a link to the route I take http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh244/jhonny9534/TBmining.png

This item turns gray for skill increases in mining at 575 in the MoP beta.

Kommentar von ladybetty

My 129th vein in Uldum contained Amberjewel, for anyone wondering if you can get blue gems from them.

Kommentar von 855988

Great place for farming Elementium ores and Pyrite ores is in the Elementium Deoths, though there is often a competition in there, so anyone from Stormscale EU, hands off^^

Kommentar von 892718

thanx need to know where to look

Kommentar von ivansayus

Third post its trully the best way to farm elementium

Kommentar von Sarthorius

Uldum still one of best places to get it as of 6.x . Upper part is almost a straight line flying, you get some volatile elemental materials while mining, you can stumble on some rich nodes, pyrite nodes, and sometimes you get 2-3 nodes up close to each other in some places, you barely fly 20s before getting another node shown up on your path.

Made a full loop around twilight highlands, even with more spawn points for the ore, you fly around more than uldum, tracking the nodes.
This reminded me of Wintergrasp in Northrend. When I wanted to farm titanium, I went there for it, even if in Icecrown you saw a lot more saronite nodes spawn points. I like less messy places, less scattered nodes and faster gathering. Those are best places.

Profession Required: Mining
Best Serves: Jewelcrafting, Mining

I jumped on my miner and timed different zones and different routes in order to get the most amount of ore. Keep in mind that I am a HORDE DRUID, which allows me a faster time in grabbing ore, due to instantly popping in and out of flight/aquatic form.

While there are other items you can obtain while mining nodes, I merely state the ores and stone I’ve collected—no gems or other such items.

Each zone was timed for 10 minutes.
Links will take you to maps on my website.

★ Twilight Highlands ★
This is a Contested zone.

This place is iffy with the amount of Elementium Ore you can get. This is because there's a lot of areas that the ore can spawn in, and you just can't get to every single node in a decent amount of time. It's kind of a mountainous zone, but it's not too bad.

Elementium Ore – 49
Pyrite Ore – 12

This is a Contested zone.

This zone offers a simple route that mainly hugs the mountainside--because of it being easy to follow for ore, it's possible you'll be finding competition. Even when there's a bit of a gap from going through the zone, it's actually where I found the most amount of ore in ten minutes.

Elementium Ore – 82
Pyrite Ore – 10

This is a Contested zone.

There is everywhere in this zone. At least, location-wise. Where the ore is actually spawning is sporadic, which makes this place one of my more hated zones to farm in. I use to left side of the map to farm, but obviously you could make a right side portion as well. I just didn't.

Elementium Ore – 54
Obsidium Ore – 40

For Elementium, I recommend you go to Twilight Highlands or Uldum.
For Obsidium, go to Hyjal or Deepholm (avoid Vashj'ir except if you prefer the seahorse or the scenery).
The only reason there are so many Elementium Veins still registered for Deepholm is that the nodes there can still spawn either Obsidium or Elementium, but the chances for Elementium to spawn are significantly smaller, and on the other hand the nodes in TH or Uldum almost exclusively spawn either Elementium or Pyrite (with a higher chance for Elementium).
Deepholm is sort of between Hyjal/Vashj'ir and TH/Uldum, at least in matters of levelling gathering professions, though it's really not the best zone to level any of them (except when you specifically need some reagents for a crafting profession of course, like Albino Cavefish or whatever).

Kommentar von Ssateneth

For those that came here looking to mine Volatile Air from these nodes, they only drop for engineers that have an Electrostatic Condenser in their bags. Drop rate of airs with a condenser in their bags is about twice the drop rate of the other volatiles (so if you mined enough elementium to get 200 volatile fire, you would also have about 400 volatile air)
