Cobalt Ore

Saronite Ore

Titanium Ore

Saronite Ore is one of three end-game ores found throughout all zones of Northrend in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic. It is used for a number of high-level crafting recipes that are Best in Slot for the first few phases and the infamous Gnomish Army Knife that allows non-healing classes an attempt at resurrecting dead players. Blacksmithing and Engineering are the main professions that make use of Saronite Ore. Jewelcrafting can also make use of it by Prospecting for gems and Alchemy can transmute the bars into the more rare material, Titanium Bar, with Transmute: Titanium.

Item: Saronite Ore

Stack: 20

Requires: Mining (400)

Primary Zones: Icecrown, Sholazar Basin, Storm Peaks

Much the same as Titanium Ore, Saronite Ore is found in all regions of Northrend. In fact, it shares a spawn with Titanium Ore Deposits.

The zones with the highest amount of Saronite nodes are Icecrown, Sholazar Basin, and Storm Peaks.

Each zone has over a hundred locations for Ore Deposits to appear. In the images below, follow the Orange Path to hit the majority of deposit locations in each zone. If there is no one else farming in the zone, following this path should allow ore nodes enough time to respawn by the time you have completed a loop around the route. If there are other players farming on your route, try reversing your direction or utilize the Grey Path to find additional nodes that we've highlighted below.

Be sure to hit up Icecrown Citadel, Sindragosa's Fall, and Argent Vanguard as these are typically where multiple nodes will spawn. A good route would be to start at Argent Vanguard and make your way north along the mountain edges to Sindragosa's Fall. Then head into the central valley making sure to check both the inner and outer ridges. Additionally, you can explore the Fleshworks region for a few other chances at finding some ore nodes.

The main loop is a "figure eight" in Sholazar Basin around Frenzyheart Hill and The Makers' Overlook. Make sure to go through Rivers Heart as well for some underwater nodes. If this route is too packed, a larger loop including the large "Pillars" can often find more nodes. Finally, the mountainside perimeter around the entire zone usually has a consistent source of ore nodes.

Storm Peaks is good if you have a flying mount. The Saronite Ore Nodes are often in closer clusters, however, a lot of them are going to be inside caves requiring dismounting. If you're flying around, stick to the mountain ranges. Start at Brunnhildar Village and make your way around the southern and eastern parts of the map. A much longer loop can be found on the northern and western side of the map, but here the ore deposits are fewer.

Saronite Ore is only used to make Saronite Bar via Smelt Saronite with Mining (400). Saronite Bars are used in a number of Engineering and Blacksmithing Recipes a full list is in the collapsible section below. Players who have Alchemy can take 8 Saronite Bar and transmute them into the 1 Titanium Bar with Transmute: Titanium. Titanium Bars are the refined version of Titanium Ore and can be used in a number of best-in-slot recipes. Also note that in Phase 2 when Ulduar is released, Titansteel Bars will become available from Mining with Smelt Titansteel and new recipes will use them for the next tier items.
