Which minerals are recorded in Burning Steppes?
ForEveroth has 308 mining reference waypoints for this zone, supplied by a Wowhead Forever-derived community add-on dataset. These describe possible node locations, not active nodes. The skill numbers are mining profession thresholds, not character level requirements.
| Ore type | Reference points | Skill required |
|---|---|---|
| Truesilver Deposit | 94 | 230 |
| Small Thorium Vein | 53 | 245 |
| Rich Thorium Vein | 35 | 275 |
| Dark Iron Deposit | 126 | 230 |
Where are the ore coordinates?
Selected X/Y percentages are listed below. They are in-game zone map positions, not geographic GPS; other possible marks are visible in the interactive mining atlas. The sampling is for orientation only and does not constitute a proven optimal route.
| Ore type | X (%) | Y (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Truesilver Deposit | 15 | 30.2 |
| Truesilver Deposit | 47.3 | 33.4 |
| Truesilver Deposit | 72.5 | 29.8 |
| Truesilver Deposit | 95.5 | 31.7 |

Can you farm these deposits during the level-30 beta?
Do not assume so. This is advanced mining material and primarily a future-progression reference. With the Forever beta character cap currently at level 30, high-level zone access and profession requirements cannot be presumed achievable. We retain these source points for later phases and preparation.
Do several dots represent simultaneous mining spawns?
No. Many deposits share spawn pools or may appear in different positions between respawns. A coordinate is not a promise of a node. Avoid using unverified old Classic node probabilities as confirmed Forever spawn rates.
