Thorium Ore Farming in Un'goro Crater (Classic - WotLK)

One of the best places for you to farm Thorium Ore is in Un'goro Crater. You will find a ton of Rich Thorium deposits as well as Small Thorium deposits here. Spending an hour in this zone would fill up all of your bags and net you at least a thousand gold, depending on how much Thorium sells for on your server.

It is debated what the best path around Un'goro Crater is for Thorium Ore, but I'd have to say hands down it is just circling the zone either clockwise or counter clockwise. It really doesn't matter. The only way that it does ever matter is if someone else is here farming Thorium Ore too. If there is and you know what direction they are going in, reverse your direction so you can beat them too half the Thorium. Granted they will beat you to a lot of it too but at least you're getting something. Below is a picture of the route that I use when farming Thorium Ore in Un'goro. (Click the image to enlarge it)

Burning Crusade/WoTLK Note: You can also go east at Golakka Hot Springs and check Fire Plume Ridge for Rich Thorium too. I normally don't though because (at least in Classic) this place is super camped by people looking for Elemental Fire/Essence of Fire. Normally one of them is a miner and they'll clean out this area faster than you can.
