Cobalt Ore Howling Fjord Farming Guide

[Shadowsteppa]

Hello guys.

Since I’ve started my new Blacksmithing adventures, I’ve been paying much closer attention to the insane amount of materials that will eventually be needed for me to level my Blacksmithing to 450, which is of course the goal of the exercise.

Keeping that in mind, this morning I made a very short run for Cobalt in Howling Fjord. Basically, I started in Westguard Keep, flew north, then east across the mountains, and then followed the coast along the two prongs of Howling Fjord, mining all the while.

Cobalt Ore is the only mining to be had in Howling Fjord. I was hoping for spwawn rates that rivaled Copper Ore in Elwynn Forest, or Fel Iron in Hellfire Peninsula.

On that note, I was sorely disappointed. While the map below indicates a goodly number of Mining Nodes, I must say that mining in Howling Fjord has been trying, to say the least.

Of course, I started there in the early days of Wrath of the Lich King, when the place was crawling with people having just arrived and needing to level up their mining skill, so ore nodes were very rare.

That being said, I will do another farming run there this weekend to learn what exactly can be had in terms of Cobalt Mining in Howling Fjord.

Here is the map:


Now as a mining route, I would follow the coast along each of the ‘prongs’ of the Howling Fjord, so to speak, starting from Westgarde Keep. I would first go the extreme north west of the map, then make my way south, then repeat in the eastern portion of the map.

As you can see from the map, the only ore to be had in Howling Fjord is Cobalt Ore, and neither the map nor my personal mining experience show anything else. Cobalt Ore nodes therefore do not seem to spawn anything else in terms of rare mining nodes.

Thanks for reading my guide, hope you pwn that 1337sauce server of yours and get all the cobalt nodes!!^

One tip to make it a little better, either draw your route on with Paint or something, or download the addon Routes and screenie it once you've drawn it out on that Much easier to look at than reading the description and working out where it goes...

Howling Fjord seems to be the most relaxing place to farm for cobalt on my server. I usually just stick to the outskirts, along the range of mountains. Dont forget to check where the iron dwarves are - you can always find one or two nodes where they stand about
