ONE run around the edges of a post-Cataclysm (nearly empty) Feralas gave me:
Iron Ore x 213
Gold Ore x 17
Silver Ore x 5
Mithril Ore x 2After I finished the loop I flew around a bit and almost all the nodes had re-spawned, making Feralas an ideal zone to farm Iron Ore.
Requires a jewelcrafting skill of 125+ to prospect.
2 rounds of Arathi Highlands yielded:
80x Iron Ore
94x Heavy Stone
17x Mithril Ore
14x Solid Stone
