Herbalism and Mining in Sholazar Basin

December 30th, 2008 · No Comments

My Paladin, Mandorall, is now level 77 and questing in Sholazar Basin. I didn’r really know where to go after Grizzly Hills, and I found the Troll area too dark and depressing, so when some Mage in Dalaran suggested I visit Sholazar Basin, I jumped on the occasion.

Sholazar Basin offers the farmer countless opportunities. To put things simply, I managed to farm HUNDREDS of saronites ores without even meaning to.

These were just the nodes I found during the course of questing, without really looking for them.

Here is what miners can find in Sholazar Basin

  • Saronite Nodes
  • Rich Saronite Nodes
  • Titanium Nodes (Jackpot!)

These ores are very, very valuable, and sold on the Auction House, they could mean hundreds of gold without much work. Most nodes can be found all around the periphery of the map, as well as around the pillars. If you have a flying mount, then you should be able to farm these mining nodes quite quickly.

Please remember that ore nodes can and do appear everywhere, so make sure you do a regular sweep and not just go around in circles!

You can also use them to level Engineering or Blacksmithing, which is more rewarding if not nearly as profitable.

Herbalists can find:

  • Goldclover
  • Tiger Lily
  • Adder’s Tongue

I have not played there yet with an Herbalist (soon, soon…) so I can’t really vouch for the quality of the farming grounds, but if mining is any indication, there should be enough herbs there to satisfy even the most demanding Alchemist or Inscriptor.

Sholazar Basin is also full of beasts, Rhinos, Cobras, Mammoths and Crocolisks, all of which can be skinned. And since Hemet Nesingwary’s there with his usual quests, you know the getting will be good for you skinners out there.

Just a note – the mammoths drop [Chunks O' Mammoth] with surprising regularity. This is a piece of meat that can be cooked as Mammoth Meal for a very interesting Attack Power and Stamina bonus for (1) hours.

As long you are in Sholazar Basin, you should make sure you do the Frenzyheart Tribe quests to the South. They are straightforward hunting quests for the most part, and are well written and funny.
