This is one of the only gems that can't be obtained through prospecting.
So I got my bindings for Thunderfury and realised I need tons & tons of these crystals.
The absolutely best place to farm these in my opinion is simply silithus. Yesterday I went farming for about 30-40 minutes and earned about 1k gold (from the thorium and dense stones and random gems) + @#$%loads of arcane crystals.
Seriously, it was ridiculous amount of thorium veins, especially in The Crystal Vale, northwest silithus. Just follow the mountain sides of silithus like a circle, don't bother go into the hives, it will just slow down the farming process. And make sure to fly around in Crystal vale when you get there because there is atleast 4+ nodes there.
There is like zero players in Silithus nowadays so this should work on every server, mine is Highly populated but I still couldn't see someone else there :P
I hope this helps!
Plp. keep saying these are "totally useless" & "not worth anything"....
THATS NOT TRUE !
These are used in Transmuting Arcanite Bar ( Transmute: Arcanite ) for Arcanite Rod ( [spell=20201] ) used by Enchanters
