Hunting for Iron

Hi All, I spent a large part of the past week working on getting my weapon smithing quest done. It took about 4 days of regular play time. I'm also working on getting Thorium Brotherhood faction. So I'm digging up iron ore whereever I can. Tanaris was good for mithril, but usually it's around the edges so I'm running around it a lot.

It gives a nice view of the seashore:


I also ended up near Stonard Keep (a continent away from Tanaris) mining in a cave on the southern edge of the map. The cave is full of Murlocs, which kept me busy fighting them off while hunting minerals.

I hitting a 300 skill in mining in the Hinterlands, I would have celebrated, but I needed 40 more iron ore and I have only been mining thorium ore...
