Strangle-thorn Vale (levels 30-45): Strangle-thorn Vale is a very long zone and you must keep  an eye out as this route runs across places with lots of elites like the Mosh’Ogg Ogre Mound. This is a good route to reference as you are questing and progress in level.

If you want to raise your mining skill fast go by the Badlands route as it is much quicker and has more Mithril spawns.

True-silver follows Mithril on our list requiring a skill of 230 to gather. True-silver deposits spawn decently but Dark Iron has more spawns in the next couple of routes and it is up to you to decide what to hunt down just to raise your skill points.

True-silver and Dark Iron both can sell between 6 and 20 gold per stack of 20 depending on your server’s current needs and market. True-silver can be found in the upcoming Burning Steppes route at a 14% spawn rate while Dark Iron deposits have a 37.1% king of kings 3 gold spawn rate along this same route. Feel free to follow the map and happy hunting!

Dark Iron is alongside True-silver requiring a 230 skill and running the same route. Burning Steppes is the best route for both of these and is in an area accessible by both horde and alliance players; we will be covering it next.
