    A Miner's / Lockpicker's Paradise - Tons of Elementium, Pyrite, Cloth, and Lockboxes

    A Miner's / Lockpicker's Paradise - Tons of Elementium, Pyrite, Cloth, and Lockboxes

    Hey guys. Ever since they nerfed the amount of mining nodes there has been a lot more competition when farming for ore. Luckily in this case, this is a good thing for us. I found this cave in Twilight Highlands that is a miner's paradise! There is usually an average of 4-5 nodes in the cave at all times (See screenshot) and sometimes even 6-7. The thing is, with SO many people out in the Twilight Highlands mining the nodes are constantly respawning. Well, if 5-10 minutes go by and no one has entered this cave there will 100% be at least 4-5 in there. Luckily, my main is a rogue so I am amble to pickpocket all the mobs in this cave.


    Here is a screenshot of me inside the cave so you can what it looks like. Also, notice the three nodes on the minimap. That just one small section of the cave. (Click to see a high resolution version)



    Here is the map for the location of the cave. The entrance is located at 37,88.(Click to see a high resolution version)


    Mining

    The route is very simple. Enter the cave, follow your way all the way down and do a big circle. Then come back up and repeat. The cave has

    Elementium Ore
    Rich Elementium Ore
    and Pyrite Ore


    TIP: If it is not peak hours on your server (not a lot of competition) then the spawn rate in these caves will be a lot lower. If it is not peak hours I suggest doing 2-3 laps around the cave, leaving, doing a lap around the entire Highlands and coming back.


    If it is peak hours I suggest just staying in the cave and letting the respawn for you. Last night at 7:00pm server time I staid in the cave for over 3 hours and always had something to mine.

    Lock Picking

    If you are a rogue like me this is a GREAT spot to farm lockboxes. Why farm lock boxes? Well for one they have new bind on pickup potions but the best reason is BOE epics. The lockbox you will be getting from these mobs is called Flame-Scarred Junkbox - Item - World of Warcraft

    Contains one of three possible BOE epics.

    Spinerender - Spinerender - Item - World of Warcraft
    The Twilight Blade - The Twilight Blade - Item - World of Warcraft
    Krol Decapitator - Krol Decapitator - Item - World of Warcraft

    Macro for easy farming:

    #showtooltip Pick Pocket
    /targetenemy [harm,nodead]
    /use [nostealth,combat]Vanish;[nostealth]Stealth;Pick Pocket


    Just put that on your stealth bar and target an enemy. Once an enemy is target just spam it and it will cycle through all harmful mobs nearby and will pickpocket them. It is great!

    Cloth

    If you are not a stealth class you need to kill some mobs in order to mine inside this cave. Luckily, they have a very high drop rate of Embersilk Cloth. One of the mobs you will be killing is Depths Overseeer (Depths Overseer - NPC - World of Warcraft) which has over a 40% drop rate of 1-4 cloth.

    Overall this is an amazing cave with tons of stuff to do in it. Luckily, I can do them all at the same time.

    nice

    this really is a great spot if you are high enough level.

    in the same zone is another cave called obsidion's lair or something, SE of zone, you can use your flying mount inside and there are also many node spawns. many of these nodes if not all are out of reach of mobs just barely which is an added plus. there are two ways out of the cave as well.

    thanks for this tip i also have a rogue and want to find epics. lol

    Nice spot, but these guys hit so hard and the aggro range is so small it's not funny.

    I'm a rogue, even with stealth, died once.
    Double check you're trading with me in case of impostors

    Once you get heroic gear these things become easy to kill. I can kill one with 90% hp left.
