WoW Mining Guide WOTLK Update - Where and How to Find the Ever Elusive Titanium Ore

WoW Mining in WotLK is a great way to continue to build up that gold warchest. If you've mined in WotLK you should know that the most abundant ore is the Saronite ore. You can find a bunch of places to mine it and sometimes you get lucky and you get a Titanium node. Though much of getting Titanium is based on chance, there are few strategies you can employ to have a greater chance of getting a node.

The value of Titanium ore comes in its necessity of making epic Jewelcrafter and Engineer recipes. That, along with its rarity make it really expensive. So how can you get it? Well there is no surefire method but there are some strategies you can employ. Here's a few.

The first is the most obvious; Canvass the zone hoping that it pops up on your minimap. It's not the best method but if your patient it will show up. This is best done in a small zone like Sholazar. Mine the area and hope that when you get a respawn it is a Titanium node. It can take up to an hour but you will eventually get one.

Another way to find Titanium nodes is to farm Wintergrasp. Yeah, I know what your thinking and I agree, there aren't many Saronite nodes there. But that is the point, though the Saronite nodes are few, the percentage of nodes that spawn Titanium metal are much higher here. Remember that you can't fly over Wintergrasp, so you need a land mount to scout the area. It's also a PVP area so be careful when you scout or else you could get attacked quite often. My favorite times are very early morning, my chances of success are greatly increased because it's relatively empty (of course that might also depend on your server).

Don't get discouraged because Titanium is rare, what you need to remember is that when in high demand it can bring in up to 500 gold. Good luck!
