This is a Khorium ore or Titanium ore for Cataclysm, which is used for highest level item crafting. Can be found in Twilight Highlands and Tol Barad. This is a rare spawn for Elementium ore.

Interestingly, IRL pyrite is the mineral known as 'Fools Gold' - and it's incredibly common here on Earth. Its name means 'from fire', so called because of its tendency to spark when you hit it. In game, it's also used to make Truegold, the expansion equivalent of Arcanite.

Rainbow ore!

For about 2 days I had Twighlight Highlands all to myself for gathering.

I got about 1900 Elementium and 250 Pyrit, so it's spawn rate is about 13% of all nodes.

Commento di EightBitBus

I, too, took advantage of the leveling rush and had Twilight Highlands to myself for a day or so. Out of 1000 Elementium I got 110 Pyrite. 10%-13% is a pretty safe guess on the spawn rate.

Commento di Nesz

Prospectable at JC skill of 500 as of today.

Commento di 742315

This ore is not selling for near the price it will fetch for the majority of the expansion.

When higher end patterns require Pyrite Bars, and Cata epic gems start becoming prospectable from this ore, this well sell for a much higher price and at a much faster rate.

Fool's Gold was given it's name because of it's similarity in color to real Gold.
Back in the 1800's someone discovered a large amount of Gold in western Canada and the effect was a massive gold rush.
Land was bought quickly and some would argue today that this is why the west became as populated as it is.

The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, is an iron sulfide with the formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale-to-normal, brass-yellow hue have earned it the nickname fool's gold because of its resemblance to gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.

Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (puritēs), "of fire" or "in fire", from πύρ (pur), "fire". In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what we now call pyrite. By Georgius Agricola's time, the term had become a generic term for all of the sulfide minerals.

Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds, and as a replacement mineral in fossils. Despite being nicknamed fool's gold, pyrite is sometimes found in association with small quantities of gold. Gold and arsenic occur as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. In the Carlin, Nevada, gold deposit, arsenian pyrite contains up to 0.37 wt% in gold.

I prospected a Chimera Eye out of Pyrite Ore. It was only the second stack of 5 pyrite I prospected. I know its not on the list saying it can be prospeced from pyrite but I most certainly got it from Pyrite Ore. Since then I've prospeced about a stack and a half and haven't got another one, sometimes theres not even a blue gem. I'd suggest just prospecting Elementium.

Commento di 125795

Not confirmed, I had to try this out, and prospected 13 stacks(52 prospects) of Pyrite Ore, and I got zero Chimera's Eye. I have 525 JC atm. This is what I got;

100xVolatile Earth(5g per -> 500g)
12xNightstone(25g per -> 300g)
10xAlicite(8g per -> 80g)
9xZephyrite(9g per -> 81g)
8xJasper(11g per -> 88g)
7xHessonite(18g per -> 126g)
6xCarnelian(17g per -> 102g)
6xOcean Sapphire(30g per -> 180g)
6xAmberjewel(48g per -> 288g)
5xEmber Topaz(49g per -> 245g)
4xInferno Ruby(90g per -> 360g)
3xDream Emerald(40g per -> 120g)
2xDemonseye(72g per -> 144g)

If I was doing this to make gold, I would have used 2600g, and I would have gained back 2614g. Atleast I didn't lose too much money to test this, but Pyrite Ore is not worth prospecting, thats for sure. (I did lose some money, because of the AHcut)
EDIT: I do, however, not have any recipies to make any BoP Chimera's Eye gems, that might be a factor. Would love to hear from you who get Chimera's Eye from prospecting Pyrite Ore if you have bought any of the JC-only-gem recipies.

Commento di lonewolf83

Perhaps a Pyrite Dust turn-in will be available in a later patch for JC tokens, which in turn will make this even more valuable in the later patches in this expansion. This is only a speculation.

Commento di Rikikijr

This is what i got from prospecting 1760 pyrite ore on the PTR (Total value on my live realm 17600g) :

Total value on my realm: 34788g

I was expecting epic gems, I hope blizzard will add them later in the PTR

Commento di 418709

If this is WoW's version of pyrite.. what did we throw at Flame Leviathan back in Ulduar? I'm pretty sure that was called pyrite as well, but was liquid and blue. Any insight?

Commento di 254942

Has anyone come across this bug? Normally I would get 12,650 experience when mining a pyrite deposit. Now I'm only getting 12 (twelve) experience. It's almost as if the decimal point was moved over 3 places. Double checked it on my experience bar and chat log. The rest of the mining deposits I'm getting the right amount of experience.

Commento di 531966

25pyritium ore in Uldum per hour~

Commento di Kimmberlynn

I was finding it rather lucrative to farm these in Twilight Highlands. A nice path through the river up around Grim Batol. I was finding four and five nodes of Pyrite clustered together around the gates of Grim Batol along with six or so nodes of Elementium Ore just between the two gates. Unfortunately due to the phasing of the zone when you begin the chain it changed the phasing. Now I can see all the nodes on my mini map and visually but when I get close to mining distance they all disappear.

Commento di 512576

If only I could send stuff from my Eve Online character to my WoW character. Every time I refine Scordite in bulk, I think about how much farther the resulting hundreds of thousands of units of Pyrite would get me in THIS game.

Commento di bluesoda

I am one of the many prospecting pyrite ore in the hopes that it will later contain epic gems. Some are saying it may come from Black Iron Ore, but I do not agree, seeing as how it is prospected at 425, is deprecated, and is common quality. Granted, that was what was data mined, so I have no real way of knowing.

What does concern me about pyrite however, is that it is prospect-able RIGHT NOW and that it is prospect-able at JC 500, while Titanium Ore was prospect-able at JC 450, which was the max JC in Wrath. 500 is not the max JC in Cata, which leads to my concern. Hopefully these two bank tabs of pyrite will result in more than just uncommon and rare gems and volatile earth.

edit: grammar

edit: Well now epic gems are gonna drop in the Deathwing raid. Ignore my previous stuff at the top of this

Commento di Hotsuma

Does the Icon for this item make anyone else think of Chrono Trigger and the Rainbow items you'd get at the end of the game from crafting from the rainbow shell?

Commento di 827409

It's Gay Pride ore. Actually.
=D

Commento di xonne

I bought 2 stacks of pyrite ore(89g per stack) and prosspected it..got 5 blue gems, 13 greens, and 12 Volatile Earth, sold the earth for 10 each, and plan on selling a few cut gems in trade chat for an easy profit...had bought 8 stacks prior(same price) and prosspected them not sure what i got from it, but if i got a nice profit off the 2 stacks..need i say more

Commento di 506177

Like mentioned previously, im saving up all my Pyrite (currently sitting on 100stacks+) in hope of the implement of epic gems like previous expansions. You win some, you loose some.. You never know.

Commento di 823729

I am risking it on this one, I have about 100 stacks of pyrite sitting in a guild bank, I am pretty optimistic that this will prospect into epic gems. and if not, well then my guild will have an abundance of pyrite for their crafting needs.

Commento di dartworth

Everyone is speculating about Pyrite Ore and everyone is a JC now... :(

This is so much Pyrite sitting in banks atm and so many JCs...the epic gem market is gonna be bust.

Commento di 160411

The idea that many people are sitting on tons of pyrite, and iron pyrite being fool's gold, make me rofl.

It's 4.2 and no sign of epic gems.

Everyone talks about this "pattern" of epic gems coming from prospecting rare ore, but that was only in WotLK. BC epic gems weren't prospected from Khorium.

Are you still stashing pyrite?

Commento di 803859

Below is the most common route in which I farm for gems, ore and volatile.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b201/wonderwoman481/uldum_nodes.jpg

I usually only have to go maybe 3 or 4 times around Uldum before I have 10 or so stacks of elementium and 3 or 4 stacks of pyrite ore.

Here are some tips that might prove helpful and to keep in mind when mining (anywhere):

- There are going to be others mining. If someone is racing you to a node, just let them have it. Go on your merry way and get the next one. By racing them to the node, not only do you risk not getting it, but you risk in not getting the next one as well. Also, it may not end well for you if on a pvp realm. (Thankfully, I'm not.)

- If you find yourself racing between multiple people for nodes, turn around and go the other way. Remember that not only do nodes spawn in front of you, but also behind you.

- Get 310 flying. Not only does this help your chances, but if someone really wants to race you (as most do), you'll have a better chance of winning.

- Keybind your favorite mount. For example, I hotkeyed mine to the "R" button. I didn't have it associated with anything else, was the nearest to my finger controls, and figured it'd help me quite a bit. Not only does it keep you from having to move your mouse over to a button on your action bars, but it will help when needing to mount/dismount. This can also prove to help in other situations ... such as Tol Barad. :)

- Be aware that if you're not level 85, you're going to encounter aggressive NPCs. There are plenty of hyenias, scorpions and other various NPCs that can kill you. I cannot tell you the amount of times I've seen someone die from trying to mine. If you can't kill the NPC on your own (before or after you mine the node), then don't attempt to mine something next to NPCs that can attack you. Quite obvious, but obviously needs to be said.

Hope all this helps. I mine at least once or twice a day this exact route. Also makes for some good money making. :)

Commento di 865907

Handily, on several servers you can make money from Pyrite Ore just by smelting it into Pyrium - on my server, for example, it's about 100% profit margin.

Not sure why - I think the fact that it's the only ore in the game where the name changes (Pyrite to Pyrium) may have something to do with it.

Commento di k4ne

i hope epic gems will drop from the new instance and won't be prospected from pyrite ore because, well, you know, all servers are full of botters (yeah stupid people that run in circles for hours).

Commento di Enderverse

Why was the miner arrested for possessing and selling these rare ores?
Because he pyrited them

Commento di Xerxus

Tom Chilton: There certainly are quite a few new profession recipes. We also introduce the epic gems in this patch, and they'll be available only through the normal and heroic difficulty of the Deathwing raids.

Don't Panic.

Don't try to dump it all right now.

They're still used for Truegold... for (probably) new crafting recipes.

They might produce some sort of Pyrium Powder for jewelcrafting.

Might be used for new alchemy transmutes.

We don't have a lot of information about 4.3 professions yet. At the very least they can be prospected for some green/blue quality gems. Just don't dump all the gems at once. Do it over time to maximize your profit. You've held on to the stockpile for this long... you can hold it on for a bit longer.

VV Well, in one of the interviews, they did say that "Quite a few" new profession recipes will be added. How many of what this entails, only Blizzard knows.

Commento di Siigari

With the announcement that Pyrite Ore will not prospect into epic gems, the prices are fluctuating right now on the auction house. I would strongly suggest buying stacks as low as they can go and prospecting them.

I purchased 59 stacks of ore tonight for 100g each (it was all the guy had) and prospected it. Albeit being incredibly nervous, it proved to be a profitable venture:

Gem Color Qty % Prsp Mkt $ Total Value in Bags
Carnelian Red 55 16.13% 29.90 1,644.50
Hessonite Orange 26 7.62% 15.00 390.00
Alicite Yellow 39 11.44% 4.26 166.14
Jasper Green 40 11.73% 14.00 560.00
Zephyrite Blue 40 11.73% 2.36 94.40
Nightstone Purple 36 10.56% 11.95 430.20

Inferno Ruby Red 25 7.33% 110.00 2,750.00
Ember Topaz Orange 18 5.28% 64.00 1,152.00
Amberjewel Yellow 16 4.69% 9.00 144.00
Dream Emerald Green 13 3.81% 4.96 64.48
Ocean Sapphire Blue 14 4.11% 8.95 125.30
Demonseye Purple 19 5.57% 11.95 227.05

Volatile Earth None 465 64.14% 4.00 1,860.00

Total Ore Value: 5,900.00 (100.00%)
Uncut Gem Value: 9,608.07 (162.85%)
Grand Total Profit: 3,435.67 (62.85%)

Buying people's cheap Pyrite Ore and prospecting it at the right price right now is potentially a GOOD MOVE. Take it before prices spike again!

Commento di Studhole

Going to invest 4k+ gold into buying these and selling them for high come 4.3, I do reckon these will be prospectable for chances of epic gems. Because I think Blizzard will get a lot of trolls if we can only transmute them.

Commento di Rokz

Ok don't panic, I too have hoarded a tab full of Pyrite. Now Ghostcrawler did say 'Deathwing Raid content'. What about the people who only pvp? Are they expected to pay out to the high-roller raid gurus who will own the AH with epic gems? I am still going to hang on to my lode and ride out the negative news...things will change.

Commento di Metodi

There is absolutely no reason to sell pyrite ore right now. The prices are all time low, everybody is selling with few people buying.
I am buying every single pyrite ore under 2g a piece on my server. I reckon that the prices will be higher after the patch even if epic gems are not prospected from pyrite ore.There are still things to be made with pyrium bars. Last but not least pyrite ore will be much more scarce when the next expansion comes ( see titanium prices now) if you have the deep pockets to keep it until then :)

Commento di 911813

Not really a Rare Spawn folks, you can find handfuls of it all around Tol Barad or that desert place Uldum with the Camels and all that...

I always get to Orgrimmar with like 4x stacks of the stuff to sell on Auction or sell to players
Happy Ore Hunting my fellow Grand Master Miners!

Commento di 911813

They made an earlier comment that it was like Khorium, but let's be honest, Pyrite sells like it was Saronite from the Lich King Expansion... Worthless steer clear of mining unless you discover that Thorium is actually one of the most valuable ores, but stay out of Un' Goro crater people those are my grounds!

Commento di amzraptor

I personally think they may add this feature later on in some smaller patch after 4.3. I wouldn't be surprised with the amount of players stocking Pyrite Ore. I can say almost 25-40% of the JCs will have all recipes on day 1. There has always been a penalty for trying to benefit from last patch stuff in the upcoming patch.

Another option is that they do make pyrium powder in patch 4.3....but a very very low drop rate. Then once everyone consumes their storage they double,triple, quadruple the drop chance later on and it won't take a patch to do this just hotfixes.

Commento di Lunarine

As of patch 4.3 on live, prospecting pyrite ores does not get you Epic quality gems.
Who knows, Blizzard might implement it on a minor patch after 4.3.

Commento di 836908

just prospected 100 obsidium and 80 pyrite - so 20 prospects and 15 respectively - looking for inferno rubies. from the pyrite i got 5 infernos, 2 amberjewels 5 other blues, 16 greens and 38 volatile earth. from the obsidium i got a buncha green stones - not 1 blue. so for value pay the g (around 7g apiece on Staghelm) and prospect pyrite.

Commento di 585739

Is it just me, or do these look a lot like baked potatoes? Every time I see one that's all I can think of.

Commento di DjRicko

Easily calculate the value of 1 ore on your server by plugging your prices into this formula:
(.034 * ( + + + + + )) + (.0144 * ( + + + + + )) + ( * .4)

*Note: Uncommon gems are always worth 75s as they can be cut and then vendored for that. Some realms often have Zephyrite posted near 50s on AH, all these can be bought, cut and vendored for profit.

Commento di MirgAngel

Well in pre-Cataclysm you were not able to Prospect Rare Ore only Common ones they changed that in Cataclysm
