Farming Mithril Ore in Eastern Plaguelands
Just like Eastern Plaguelands was a great location for farming Iron Ore, it also stands out for farming Mithril Ore. If you came here to farm Iron Ore at any point then you will be very familiar with the path I used for farming Iron Ore throughout Eastern Plaguelands. Well, the path is pretty much identicle to the Iron Ore path, just it is in northern Eastern Plaguelands instead of southern. One thing I have noticed when farming in Eastern Plaguelands is that I found exceptionally more Gold here than any other area with Mithril. In about twenty minutes of farming I already had a full stack of gold and three Truesilver.
As with the Iron path in Eastern Plaguelands, it doesn't matter one bit where you start since you will be going in an oval the entire time you will end up back where you started regardless with the same amount of Mithril. But, for the sake of argument I will start the path just slightly north of Light's Hope Chapel, since I figure that is a good place for people to gather/smelt/mail their goodies when they are done farming them.
Best Path for Farming Mithril
It is rather quite simple to farm Mithril here. From the start point just fly north, wrap around the mountains, follow them west and then south and then east. Bam, your mind = blown. As far as where the Mithril spawns, you won't find any around the entrance to Stratholme and you won't find any while cutting across Eastern Plaguelands to get back to the start point. However while cutting across the center of the plaguelands be sure to fly over the little mound area on the map, some Mithril does spawn here.
Also as far as finding Gold goes, the southern part of Plaguewood is where I found the most gold, usually a few nodes spawn across the mountain range in place of Mithril. Even if you don't want it I still recommend mining it since it takes up a spawn location for Mithril.
