I have been mining thorium for some time and would like to post a guide that will give a location of all Rich Thorium i have seen. Maybe others can post ones that i might have missed.

************************************************************
*NOTE*
THESE MINES ARE TIMED USING A MINE TIMER APP FROM MY GUILD
dont ask for the app its not going to be published till completed
************************************************************

Winterspring--
The lvl 57-60 tiger area on the north end spawns 3 rich thorium ever 14.5 min starting from left, then north, then right side.

Yetti cave east of everlook spawns 2 Rich thorium veins that spawn ever 28.2 min one at the very end of the cave, one on the ramp up left side.

Thisulfur Village on the north east side of winterspring has 3 mines that spawn ever 34 min. Left of the gate going in one on the north up the hill and one on the south east at the dead end.

Owlbeast hill southeast side of winterspring near the valley of giants, 29.2 min 2 rich thorium spawns. one in the cave on the left of the owls, one up the hill in the cave on the right

Ungoro --

West side near the lvl 55-56 elite dino at the west pylon not sure of spawn time.

Fire hill in the center of ungoro there are 5 potential spawn points best thing to do there is run up the hill check mini. no spawn run down. no need it walking around it as the mini can cover the whole hill in 2 sec

Silthius --

Misc thorium all over the zone. one of the best mining spots for thorium ore in general there is (imo). Rich thorium on all 4 points of the zone north,south,east,west look at the map once in the zone and hit the 4 center points of each direction 59 min spawn for each mine.

Also if you are a rogue or have a couple buds with you there is ALWAYS 2-3 rich thorium down in the individual insect areas monster lvls ranging from 55-62 elite. (i take a preist and a rogue with me and hit all 4 areas)

East Plague --

East plague has 3 that i know of. respawn is random in this area. 1 is in the cavern just south of light hope chapel. One spawns up the hill north of Light hope in the cauldren area (not sure the name dont care just there for the ore). One spawns North west of light hope near Zul Mashaar just check the general area as this mine jumps a bit.

Suggestions --

If you are in need of ore farm winterspring or silthius as they are the highest mine per area for thorium. If you get your mining spawns right you can endless run from rich thorium to rich thorium for about 30-90 ore per hour and about 6-10 gems per hour

Rich Thorium

First I just want to say thanks to Jame (first post by me) for the guides. They've helped me level numerous characters. As for Rich Thorium Veins, there are 10 separate spawn points (not sure on times). I typically hit 3 or 4 per circuit, although the drawback is that as it's a bigger area, your ore/ratio may be a bit slower. On the upside, it's rarely farmed on my server so I almost always pull down about 50-60 ore per hour. Thanks!

another thorium place

I know of another thorium place. THere are a few veins that pop up in the cauldron in the Searing Gorge. There are a few other veins here of mithril and is great when used along side a quest.

Thisulfur Village

Submitted by Alexice on Sat, 2007-07-21 15:24.

As far as I have explored Winterspring there is no such thing as Thisulfur village.
Also a description as vague as the southern owlbeast hill is confusing at best.
Using coordinates and a map like this one would be much more usefull.
