i noticed that no one found the motherload yet... well tonight i did... and holyfreeholy is it off the hook... hour and a half of faming i got over 500 ore and 600-700 solid stone.
Burning Steppes, Dreadmaul Rock... there are 2 caves one on the east side and one on the west side... simply farm out one cave work your way around the mountian to the other cave mine that one out and by the time you get back to the other side the first cave will be filled again... simply amazing.
i did the whole run around the edge of the zone farming strat... 30min 3-4 stacks...
Dreadmaul Rock... 1.5 hours 25 stacks easy...
so if your looking for the "easy" spot to farm mithril this is it for sure!
Taken From Old Guide:
Applies to Truesilver as well· Blasted Lands: just do full circuits, simple.
· Searing Gorge: again, just do full circuits. You can do what I do and do a full circuit of the perimeter of Searing Gorge, then drop down into The Cauldron and do a circuit of that (inside and outside). Also remember that at level 230, you can mine Dark Iron, so pick that up too.
· Badlands: two good places here. First is Camp Cagg. Just do a circuit round it, taking in the Rock Elementals spawn point as you go. Second place is Lethlor Ravine. If you start by the Master Dragonscale Leatherworker and head into the Ravine and loop round to the north and back out and south past Uldaman back entrance, then you’ll pick up a good amount of Mithril.
· The Hinterlands: start at Aerie Peak and follow the cliff face to the south and east. Now just go around the south cliff face until your get past Jintha’Alor, then north up to Seradane and then west back to Aerie Peak.
· Western Plaguelands: do circuits of the Ruins of Andorhal.
· Azshara: start at the Legash Encampment and head east to the Bitter Reaches. Loop round to the north and back west along the coast past the Jagged Reef and then back down to the Lagash Encampment again.
· Winterspring: start at the Timbermaw tunnel entrance and follow the cliffs to the east past the Hot Springs and all the way over to Starfall Village. Just before you get there, head south to Lake Kel’Theril and then follow the cliffs west all the way back to your starting point.
· Felwood: only if your there. Don’t go out of way to mine here, but if you happen to be in the area (i.e. grinding Timbermaw rep) then look out for a few Mithril nodes here.
· Stonetalon Mountains: quick circuit of The Charred Vale can net you 10-15 Mithril ores.
· Desolace: grab yourself some underwater breathing potions and head to Ranzajar Isle. Theres a good number of Mithril nodes in the sunken ruins round here and very few people mine them. You can also take a run through the Valley of Spears and down to Mannoroc Coven to pick up the Mithril nodes there.
· Tanaris: bit of a long one this, but can be well worth it. Do full circuits of Tanaris, but drop down into The Noxious Lair and The Gaping Chasm to pick up the nodes that virtually nobody mines, unless they are questing in there.
Mithril is a metal directly taken from the fictional world of Middle-Earth and since Tolkien didn't copyright it, is used in several video games such as Final Fantasy and of course Wow.
