List of mining nodes

This is a fairly comprehensive list of ore veins, their requisite skill levels, the items they contain, and their approximate geographic locations. It is by no means completely comprehensive, so keep that in mind. In additon to their mining skill requirements, all Northrend mining nodes require level 65 to mine.

Notes

Patch 2.4 appears to have adjusted the possible additional items for Adamantite Deposit, Rich Adamantite Deposit, and Nethercite Deposit. The chance of getting an uncommon raw gem has been removed (or drastically lowered) and replaced with the chance to get a rare raw gem. Further research is needed.

Patch 3.0.8 Mining veins and deposits no longer require multiple hits to receive all the ore. Players will receive around the same amount of ore, stone, and gems they would have received from multiple hits.

Miners can also smelt to gain skill ups.
