Since Howling Fjord is one of the two starting areas in Northrend, one would have assumed that the mining there would be good.

Cobalt Ore is the only mining to be had in Howling Fjord. I was hoping for spwawn rates that rivaled Copper Ore in Elwynn Forest, or Fel Iron in Hellfire Peninsula.

On that note, I was sorely disappointed. While the map below indicates a goodly number of Mining Nodes, I must say that mining in Howling Fjord has been trying, to say the least.

Of course, I started there in the early days of Wrath of the Lich King, when the place was crawling with people having just arrived and needing to level up their mining skill, so ore nodes were very rare.

That being said, I will do another farming run there this weekend to learn what exactly can be had in terms of Cobalt Mining in Howling Fjord.

Here is the map:

Now as a mining route, I would follow the coast along each of the ‘prongs’ of the Howling Fjord, so to speak, starting from Westgarde Keep. I would first go the extreme north west of the map, then make my way south, then repeat in the eastern portion of the map.

As you can see from the map, the only ore to be had in Howling Fjord is Cobalt Ore, and neither the map nor my personal mining experience show anything else. Cobalt Ore nodes therefore do not seem to spawn anything else in terms of rare mining nodes.
