You can get a variety of gems used in Jewelcrafting from Fel Iron veins and from prospecting Fel Iron ore.

Kommentar von 17946

I have mined a Talasite and a Star of Elune from Fel Iron deposits. Both in Hellfire Peninsula.

These were straight from mining, not from prospecting ore.

Kommentar von 11537

Can anyone tell me what the average respawn time is for the mine nodes.

Kommentar von 28449

Of note, of all the ore nodes, only Fel Iron nodes have a chance to drop Motes of Fire. Adamantite has a greater chance to drop Motes of Earth, but no chance to drop Motes of Fire.

Primal Fire usually sells for a lot more than Primal Earth (20g-ish instead of 5g-ish on Tichondirus) on the AH, so don't poo-poo these just because the ore isn't worth as much.

Mining fel Iron is the best way to lvl ur mining.
I waited till lvl 70 to start to lvl my mining from 300 and i tryed around the Dark Portal. it works. Great place to lvl mining :)
Happy mining.

Kommentar von 33082

It's not listed, but Fel Iron veins actually have a chance to drop <- http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23436

Kommentar von Exeight

Hands down, from my personal experience it's much easier to make a full circuit around the outside of Zangarmarsh. You get at LEAST 15 bars per full lap (30 ores, if you may). On top of that, you also get buttloads of Adamantine veins, depending on how many laps you'd like to go, and whether or not it's peak hour on your server or not.
During the past three or four days, I've mined 192 fel iron bars and 82 Adamantine bars, to give a rough idea of what you'd get if you have enough patience to make a few full rounds around Zangarmarsh!

My brother just got a Living Ruby of one of those Fel Iron Deposits.

Kommentar von 33235

So I leveled mining on my shamy alt 55lev running around the Dark Portal.
In 2.5 hours of mining I got the following from deposits:

242 Fel Iron Ore
6 Eternium Ore
37 Mote of Fire
39 Mote of Earth
2 Azure Moonstone
2 Deep Peridot
1 Golden Draenite
1 Shadow Draenite

To get to Dark Portal when you are lower than 58lev, ask mage to make portal from orgrimar to shatrath, ask some 70lev to escort you to Thralmar, use the wind rider there to get to Dark Portal.

Run circles around and mine the deposits.

Kommentar von superminer

Fel iron deposits also drop Noble Topaz and Star of Elune
But they drop kind low cause i have mined about 60 deposits and i have only 1 of each.

Kommentar von Aggrot

DigY thank's for the tip. got my mining from 300 to 375 in 2h

Kommentar von Wharfe

Well I just did a circuit around the dark portal and did not find any nodes.

Can anyone else confirm that this has now being nerfed as the 2.1 patch notes suggested?

If so is it possible to get the WoWhead database updated to show only new node locations?

EDIT:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=4D29CCBBD0D1B3ECA01BD794287C698D?topicId=105740880&sid=1
Looks like they have definately gone, so this database is currently incorrect.

Kommentar von 56118

So, after farming for many hours(+/- 300 mithril and 400+ thorium bars) I finally get to 300, allright, farming the dark portal, NOTHING THERE?! circled entire Hellfire but found maybe 4 or 5 nodes, so where's the best place to farm this these days?

Kommentar von 58001

Wowhead should add that Star of Elune:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23438

Also can be mined from Fel iron deposit

yesterday :)

Kommentar von jambal

Confirmed Shayken and Wharfe, It has been nerfed, the patch notes say something about the locations being adjusted so they are near well travelled paths and mobs are more likely to attack you, behind the dark portal was the only sanctuary us miners had and now what are we to do......well I can just hop on my epic flying mount and beat most people to the veins any way :-P

Kommentar von 45490

so dose anone know any good places to farm post nerf?

Kommentar von jambal

I suggest my path takes longer on non epic flying mount but, here goes....

enter hellfire from zangarmarsh (cenarion expedition western side)
Fly south around the edges of all the mountains, i found 5-8 veins a run.

Kommentar von 65048

is wowhead gonna get a new map for locations of these veins? that would be nice..oh well

guess ill just keep looking for big groups of people and then flying over em to look for these

Kommentar von 34435

i was just in Netherstorm and mined a fel iron Deposit and happened to get a nightseye i was shocked neone else get one of them from a fel iron deposit?

Kommentar von 50339

I got a dawnstone from this, was pretty shocked since i thought fel iron deposits didnt drop these !!

Kommentar von 69138

If you can kill/get past the level 63 elite Raging Collosi at Fallen Sky Ridge, it's a great place to farm Fel Iron.

Kommentar von 18642

if you're going to spend the time to level mining, it REALLY helps if you have an epic mount for when you hit 300.

If you dont, despite the nerf of spawns around the portal, the rest of the spawns on that map are pretty close. You could trip in hellfire peninsula and find fel iron, just get gatherer and fly in spirals around the map.

Kommentar von 40787

You can farm Fel Iron pretty reliably along the Path of Glory. Both sides spawn nodes on top of and below the cliffs.

Kommentar von 97488

While I was in Hellfire Peninsula, I used this path to farm fel iron and it worked great for me:

First, start at the bottom of the Peninsula, near Honor Hold.

Then head southwest over the felboar and underground worm basin until you get to the ravager base before Terokkar.

Next, head east along the edge of the Peninsula until you reach the Expedition Armory, where there is usually at least one.

Head northeast. On the cliff where all the spectral footmen stand in a line, I have found three in a row, so be sure to examine there. But keep going northeast until you reach the Legion Front.

Now west, down the Path of Glory. Flying mounts prevail here as you'll be able to avoid the mass of orcs, but the ore usually rests on the cliffs on the sides of the Path of Glory. Be sure (if you can) to go down completely because there is usually more deposits down there.

And that's my path for the eastern part of Hellfire. If you wanted to do the western side, I believe that a good path would involve Fallen Sky Ridge to Ruins of Sha'naar to the entrance of the Den of Haal'esh, and then over the Great Fissure towards the Pools of Aggonar.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Sentrios

I also mined talasite ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23437 ) from fel iron today, I use the client too. I wonder why the rare gems are not listed here?

Kommentar von 61824

I can confirm that you get all the way to 375 with Fel Iron Deposit.
Also I looted a Noble Topaz from one.

Kommentar von kauski

i got Noble Topaz when mined this

Kommentar von Zaphiroth

Today when i found a fel iron deposit, first mining i didnt get any fel iron ore, just a mote of fire. so the drop rate cannot be 100%. or is it possible that another player mined it and just looted the fel iron then left?

Kommentar von 149765

what is the best route while farming this in hellfire?

Kommentar von Kefra

~~As of patch 2.4.1~~ 2.2 (edit: thanks for pointing this out) Fel Iron Deposits (along with Adamantite Deposits) no longer yield gems of uncommon (green) quality.

This has ~~not~~ been confirmed by blue, but is merely my observation after having mined roughly 26 stacks of ore in Outland since patch 2.4.1 without looting a single uncommon gem. A few guild mates have concurred. (Khorium Veins might still yield uncommon gems, but I didn't mine enough of them to conclusively rule the possibility out.) This was likely done in an effort to inflate the value of the previously almost worthless uncommon gems, which can now only be obtained via prospecting (and as world drops).

As far as I can discern the drop rate of rare quality (blue) gems from the aforementioned nodes is unchanged, however.

Edit: Ok, confirmed by blue. So in terms of its WoW information, my post was entirely accurate and yet still down-rated, because I was wrong about blue never confirming it, apparently. Some people are never happy. :/

Edit: In Patch 2.4.3, green quality gems were re-introduced to Fel Iron Deposits (as well as Adamantite/Rich Adamantite Deposits) so disregard the above. :)

Kommentar von 123750

These things still drop blue quality gems!! I got a star of elune out of a fel iron deposit in hellfire.........altho it is confirmed that uncommon gems no longer drop from these, i spent like 3 days farming to get my engineering skill up to 350 and not a single green dropped

Kommentar von Morscerta

I can confirm you can easily get from 300 to 375 Mining just by Fel Iron Deposits in Hellfire Peninsula.

Only after the veins turn green did I occasionally miss a skill up. The advantage to staying in HFP is that these veins are not ruthlessly farmed and so there are plenty about.

Kommentar von 129097

I dunno if it was a bug or something but i mined out a Noble Topaz from this vein. But it's not even shown on the drop list that it can drop O_o

Kommentar von jamiedugard1

i always have a problem on every new character to get my mining from 100-300 has anyone have any tips/hints to help me out?

Kommentar von jamiedugard1

goin great i have 630 gold im now level 65 and by level 70 should have enough money for my flying mount skinning now 375 and mining is now 226 it rocks XD

Kommentar von 235097

Hellfire Peninsula is definitely the best place to mine these veins. They are scattered in thick masses all over the map, but you'll find most of them along the mountain sides.

Kommentar von deathager

I gathered one a Noble Topaz from this Deposit !

Kommentar von 179524

who do i speak to to increase the mining from 300 max to 375 max? i saw sm1 say hh but i dontknow what that is

Kommentar von 257544

I found out that the best place to mine fel iron ore is by helfir ramparts and the road leading up to the dark portal, i found a star of elune just by going up there

Kommentar von 179524

thanks zalgadis85 u helped me big time.

Kommentar von Ishtar

Turned grey for me at 400.

Kommentar von 307197

Since the new patch came in (Jan 2009) all nodes i've mined now empty on the first attempt. This will speed up mining dramatically.

Kommentar von 323717

*****All of the first comments are outdated in regards to Dark Portal*****

You can no longer find nodes around Dark Portal or in the area with the Elite Demons! Do not bother with that area, it's just one biiiigg annoying death trap!

Kommentar von 109170

Fact: you can go straight from mining fel iron to cobalt at 350
or you can skip outlands altogether and mine rich thorium till 350
either way you dont spend long between outlands and northrend

Kommentar von 346965

I think i'm in the wrong place.. I'm a level 45 Blood Elf Paladin but I have 315 mining skill.. but the mobs always kill me... note the fact that they have 5000/6000 health... for me impossible to kill..but i'm very intrested in the Fel Iron veins.. because i make a lot of gold with them.. XD lol

Kommentar von 375429

I've found that the Most Common Mine would me the Fel Iron Depot. When i was questing in the OL, Everywhere i went there would be Atleast 1-3 Mines' on my map... And the Interesting thing is, It takes 2 Ores to form a Fel Iron Bar...
So, infact, the Advantages of the Never ending mine Fiesta isn't really an Advantage...
Although, it'll be Easier to find that any other Mine, it is #$%^ hard to find Truesilver and Mithril, so, Take it in a Positive Manor.
Bye =D

Kommentar von 430790

Dawnstones can also be mined from Fel Iron Deposits.

Kommentar von 428394

I ran around in basicly a circle around hellfire with the tracker on and id usally get around 50 in a half hour? Usally drops around 3. *Note: I did this and i didnt see anyone else farming*

Kommentar von dDontMe

I've got in Retail WoW: 450 Mining, 450 Blacksmithing, 450 Coocking, 450 First Aid, 450 Fishing. That's what i call good.

Kommentar von 39294

Now only requires 270-275 to mine (you learn smelting at 275, not sure when you can mine it). Found this out after grinding Thorium from 280-295 today :-(

Kommentar von 371877

I got a http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23438 today from this.

Kommentar von 553011

A spawn glitch appeared twice today when I was farming ores for Engineering in Hellfire Peninsula.

I mined one of those deposits and immediately after, a second one spawned on top of its location.

Be sure to check your minimap for those glitches after mining a deposit - You might get lucky and have one of those glitches hit you!

Kommentar von 554114

Now its hard to find Fel Iron you have to travel a long bit to find some.

Kommentar von 527476

I just found a Star of Elune in this. It must be really low drop rate since wowhead doesnt say anything about it.
Doesnt say Fel Iron Deposit on "Mined From" here either.

Kommentar von Superchief

If you are mining it on a full server like Blackrock you might want to consider Shadowmoon Valley instead of Hellfire. After peak hours I did a /who Hellfire which was 49, the highest it can show in /who so there were many players there. There were only 6 people in Shadowmoon so I headed out there instead. I think I was the only one mining and was grabbing node after node quickly.

Kommentar von Blog

I find that Shadowmoon Vally can be very good for Fel Iron. Although there is not quite as much as there is in Hellfire, it can be a lot easier to farm due to the lower amount of players farming there. just follow the green magma rivers and you should find quite a lot deposits.

Kommentar von liamhef2009

Fel Iron Vein

Orange 275

Yellow 325

Green 350

Gray 400

Kommentar von 135993

This was quite a hinderance trying to level up mining from 0. 1-275 was fast, but it took forever to get 275-350, so I could continue in Northrend.

By far the best place was to follow the fel rivers, like stated 2 posts above, and hug the mountain sides. Hellfire Peninsula seems to be the first stop for all miners/farmers to get their Fel Iron from, so not a lot of nodes to mine from.

(I mined at 6am on a thursday morning, not on the most busiest of hours)

Kommentar von TiberX

I needed about 300 fel iron and 150 adamite to get to 375 blacksmithing.

Do this together with your explore achievment, you never get bored of the same round and once ur done exploring you have more then enough ores to reach 375

Kommentar von TheRealLink

Fel Iron goes grey at 375 as of 5-1-11. I've found hugging the cliffs of Hellfire to be good and also to venture into Zangarmarsh too to get a mix of Fel Iron and Adamantite. I assure you, I tried doing this on foot in the 40s and failed miserably. Flying is practically a must for Outland areas.

Kommentar von 810302

Outland.... Best place to level up...
and...
Gathering skill's worst nightmare!
I can barely find the ores!

Kommentar von 834986

Just to let you know you can also get other gems in fel iron ore deposits
i got a Star Of Elune

Kommentar von 829653

Post-Cata, Hellfire Peninsula is still by far the best place to farm Fel Iron. I recommend heading up there about 8.30 a.m on a regular work day, not that much competition then.

Kommentar von crazyprsn

I don't get it... Fel Iron used to be so abundant. I looked forward to getting my alt's mining up to 300 to start on Outland... but a full pass of Hellfire will give me barely a stack? This sucks.

Kommentar von 372144

Nachtauge also drops from this.

Kommentar von Esdala

Well I did one full round in Hellfire on my alt and only picked up 1 stack. I remember leveling my main's mining and found tons of it but that was at the begginning of Wrath. There was just nothing there this time and I have been leveling mining and jewelcrafting pretty fast til I hit the wall last night. Gonna check again today though.

Kommentar von pablodee

The respawn of the nodes must have a big effect as i was minig hellfire after midnight ( so i guess few competitors for nodes) and a complete flight (grid pattern to cover whole area) taking about 20-30 mins got me 5 stacks (X97) of Fel iron ore plus sum additional ore, and motes of fire and earth ... so pick your times

Kommentar von bookworm13

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

Teach an elf to fish...

Kommentar von halflife

Seems to take a while to get enough of this stuff, I needed about 150 bars for Blacksmithing so I gather 150 ore and thought yeah I was totally done, I opened the smelting window after getting back to Org and noticed it takes 2 ore to make 1 bar, I was devastated

Kommentar von huldu

I used to think outland was the best place to farm ore in. Back then it was a nightmare to farm ore in classic, you had no fly mount and there really weren't that much ore around. Then came wotlk and that was just amazing, great ore patterns in the zones. After that we had cata which made azeroth the easiest place to gather ore - so much ore everywhere. Of course now outland is the worst compared to the rest.

Kommentar von 624744

You can mine Fel Iron at 290, it's orange =D

Kommentar von 956947

i usually find like 3 or 4 along the void ridge, pretty solid spawns there

Kommentar von TweakPIG

10/17/2012: 2 hour non-stop session within Hellfire Peninsula

232 Fel Iron Ore
9 Eternium Ore
3 Primal Fire
4 Primal Earth
Edit: Also various herbs as i used my farming character, definitely recommended!

Don't simply follow the outside edge of the zone, try to hit all the cracks within the zone to maximize your findings...

Kommentar von Fonzy

A warning now to anyone leveling up Blacksmithing and Mining simultaneously, now that Cross-Realm Zones are live:

Because Hellfire Peninsula is essentially a bottleneck for both factions, you might find Fel Iron nodes in extremely short supply when you get to HFP. The good news is, however, that you only need to get Blacksmithing up to 350 to be able to start making Northrend/WotLK recipes (Cobalt), and there is a an Old World recipe that can get you up to 330 - Thoriumgamaschen.

My recommendation here is to spend the extra time in the Old World, farming up Thorium until you get up to 330. That way, you can decrease the need to farm up highly-contested Fel Iron and Adamantite in order to move in. Mining shouldn't be a problem, since you need to tap far fewer nodes than you need to harvest to get Blacksmithing up to the same level.

Take it from someone who did it the hard way, and spent hours flying circles around Outland, only to find the occasional node, and the less-than-occasional other player tapping them.

Kommentar von dsiacono

As of patch 5.3, when you mine for the Fel Iron Deposit, DO NOT TRY TO MINE IT AGAIN. Just because it's still there, doesn't mean you can mine it again. This will totally screw you up for the next time you mine for more Fel Iron & as many times as you try to mine for as long as you're logged in as your character. The only way to reset this is to logout as an alt & log back in as your original character. This will allow you to start mining again.

Kommentar von Simonds22

Going around the perimeter of Hellfire Peninsula (excluding the Dark Portal) I'm getting about 36 ore per lap.

Kommentar von VictusVeratus

I just gotta say, this is by far THE WORST one to mine. Such a low drop rate, and even worse amount of nodes...
