Farmin'

Sarge is serious about his Thunder. So serious that he downed the Blacksmithing 1-300 guide, printed it and has had it under his keyboard for weeks now.

Copper and Tin were easy, Iron was a bitch, since somehow all the people questing in Alterac seem to think it's "their" iron. WTF? I'm a paying customer mate, live with it. Mithril I hardly noticed since I mined that together with the iron and now I'm finally almost out of Azeroth, miningwise.

Almost, just 330 bars of thorium left. I've been farming it in Silithus, in the hyves-sorry hives, where the once big bad insects live. one round of hives gets me around 45 ores and, amazingly, 1-2 Azerothian Diamonds and usually an Arcane crystal or some other bonus. Those droprates were never this good pre-TBC. On the other hand, I never farmed this much pre-TBC.
