Iron Ore Farming in Feralas
Believe it or not Feralas is an amazing place for players to farm Iron Ore. I was a little bit skeptical of it at first to be honest because Feralas had crap for ore before the Cataclysm but after doing my first cycle of Feralas my face went like this " =O ". I ended up with quite a bit of Iron and Heavy Stone, which surprisingly the Heavy Stone sells better at the Auction House than the iron does. Also there is a very good chance you will get some Gold and Silver Ore while gathering Iron which I've found that gold doesn't sell for much but Silver sells for around 5g per bar!
The path I use around Feralas is pretty simple, you start at the far eastern end by Thousand Needles and work your way west, cutting south and then going back north.
Here is a map of the path I use for farming Iron Ore in Feralas.
As mentioned before you will want to start at the northern end of Feralas to the far east and work your way west. Follow the northern mountains until you reach roughly the center of the zone before cutting south. Right around the Grimtotem is where I go south. From here you will want to fly along the mountains (ignore the iron that is in a cave around here, it isn't worth unmounting and going through the cave to get). Continue south until you reach the farthest southern point in Feralas then cut right and follow the mountains through the Hippogryph area. Follow the mountains before cutting right again and flying over the yeti compound.
From here you will want to fly far north, following the mountains over the Horde town and eventually past a cave to your right continuing through the dragonkin area around the lake to the very far north. From here it is fairly simple, all you want to do is loop around the mountains until you come back out near that cave which I mentioned earlier and then you will want to continue south following the path backwards.
