According to Nethaera obsidium is the new common mineral (think cobalt) in Cata and its nodes can drop gems, volatile fire, and volatile shadow.

Commento di pheonix26682

There is some in MT Hyjal too so as said common like cobalt on WoLK

Commento di Noise

While Wowheads dataz are being updated...

There are Obsidium Deposits in Mount Hyjal zone as well.

Farmers trying to bury a useful comment? Don't let it happen! Fight back! RATE UP THE TRUTH!

Commento di Litehawk

You will also come across the odd node in Deepholm.

This stuff seems INCREDIBLY rare compared to Elementium. I go to Deepholm and trip over Rich Elementium nodes, but getting enough Obsidium to get my skill high enough to mine them is grueling.

Commento di LordGabriel

This is insane. There's like.. No Obsidium compared to Elementium. All zones besides Hyjal and Vashj'ir has Elementium.
Blizz needs to increase node rates for Obsidium, or place more of them in more zones.

Commento di 315138

There has got to be something wrong with the Obsidium Node respawns.

I spent all morning searching the Obsidium zones and managed enough ore to make 20 bars. Blizz needs to increase the nodes or decrease respawn time.

I found a whooping two nodes in Mount Hyjal. Don't bother going there. It seems the best bet is underwater.

Commento di Drunkenvalley

Still no recorded nodes in Mount Hyjal? I just spent an hour tripping around there to find a (fairly small) amount of them for this pages' sake!

Commento di SJPadbury

I believe the heavy phasing in Mt Hyjal is hiding nodes from people, and causing the wowhead client to have issues recording the nodes you do see.

Commento di Aisenfaire

Requires 475 mining skill to mine.

Commento di georgelopes

In Mount Hyjal after 2 days of farming Obsidium Deposit I was able to create a map such as this. Hope that it helps.

Commento di 711723

Spent a couple of hours in hyjal looking for minerals and found only a few. Had much better luck in the shimmering expanse of vashj'ir. Mostly around silvertide hollow. Hope that helps and happy farming!

Commento di 236957

Blizzard - phasing and nodes, do something about it please!

Commento di fanficbug

Maybe it's because someone is cherry-picking the nodes, but this seems to spawn a LOT more frequently in Deepholm now. Flew around looking for elementium and have run into 6 nodes in about half an hour . . . anybody else seeing the same thing?

Commento di 227436

I'm too lazy to quote the hotfix notes, but blizz raised the spawn rate of Obsidum in Deepholm yesterday. Merry Christmas.

Commento di kaos89

No that's impossible, I've farmed away about 200 obsidium ore while i was questing. I suppose that wowhead client doesn't support phasing system which in MH is massive tho

Commento di GoGoGodzilla

I feel the pain of everyone frustrated with the phasing nodes because I certainly have run into this myself.

Mining last night I had excellent luck in Deepholm, which seems to suffer neither the frustration of phasing nodes nor the lack of availability that was previously plaguing the zone. It seems Blizzard’s made changes to both respawning and node diversity in this zone, making it a pretty solid place to go to get yourself down the road of mining, blacksmithing, jewelcrafting, engineering; whatever. Deepholm also has the rich version of this node, making it that much more efficient.

I’ve encountered very little that is more frustrating than descending upon a node in Hyjal and starting to plink at it only to have the node disappear due to phasing.

I have also successfully mined ore off some of the creatures there – Gorged Gyreworms and the "plain" Gyreworms as well, specifically. The ore itself is not listed on either of their loot tables and I am remiss in uploading my dataz.

Edit 2/28.
Shadeofdeath commented below that it disappeared because someone mined it before me. I can verify your suggestion - although valid - is inaccurate. I can say this because I can fly away from the node, it re-appears, and then I fly towards it again and it disappears - multiple times. I have plenty of guild mates who have seen the same thing and I have personally experienced this several times.(##RESPBREAK##)136##DELIM##GoGoGodzilla##DELIM##

Have levelled mining from 450 to 525 on Obsidium nodes only in Mt Hyjal. Loads of nodes in SE area of zone after first phasing.

Commento di Blastank

I've had excellent spawn rates in Hyjal, at Darkwhisper Gorge. I can just fly a little bit and find another one. I often find spots where there are three nodes on my minimap at times. I can get a few stacks very quickly.

Commento di 478010

I have had far, FAR better luck finding this in Hyjal than in Deepholm. What I found in Deepholm was primarily elementium. I feel like I found more nodes overall in Hyjal, also (i.e., less flying between mining).

Commento di 736146

Does anyone know if there is a level requirement to mine cataclysm deposits? Or cant you just access the zones without the proper level?

Commento di 554676

It should be noted that while farming this ore you gain exp too. As a lvl 80 dk with jewelcrafting and a mining skill of 450 I gained 4400 exp per node. As a lvl 83 warrior with blacksmithing and a mining skill of 525 I gained 6050exp per node. I will post more data on exp gains once my dk is lvl 82, will also post data on my exp gains as an engiineer (not sure if this has any effect or not but hey its worth a mention) Also while mining this in mount hyjal I have received blue gems as well as the green gems, after mining up 1000 obsidium ore in mount hjal I recieved 2 demons eye, 1 ember topaz and 1 ember jewel.

Commento di 817147

Not sure how to upload data, but I just found an Ocean Sapphire in an Obsidium Vein and noticed it wasn't on the loot list.

Commento di 831457

There's tons in hyjal man, i just mined for 15 minutes and have 3 stacks already lol, id say try now that there arent many people leveling through there

Commento di riaden814

In about 40 mins, I completely filled my first bag slot in the shimmering expanse near the quartermaster.

Commento di bookworm13

For the best resource for determining mining levels as well as the best zones to farm them in, browse through the Mineral Veins listing.

Commento di QuickBASIC

It's worth noting for you lvl75s out there that are trying to get a jump on Mining that if you mine in Hyjal and die... you're ghost will appear in Ashenvale.... 3500 meters from your body.

Commento di 419716

Here's a good path that I found to be superb for mining Obsidium Ore with little to non competition. Each circuit roughly took twelve and a half minutes.
One circuit yielded
- 81 Obsidium Ore
- 3 Volatile Earth
- 7 Volatile Air (With Electrostatic Condenser)
- 5 Jasper
- 2 Hessonite
- 3 Carnelian
- 2 Nightstone
- 1 Alicite
- 2 Demonseye
- 1 Inferno Ruby
- 1 Ocean Sapphire
- 1 Zephyrite

Commento di 491404

I found a lot of obsidium ore around silver tide hollow at the shimmering expanses in vashj'ir.

Commento di Hilaeira

I have done a total of 1 quest in Hyjal and was able to get
- 83 obsidium ore
- 2 nightstone
- 1 alicite
- 1 zephyrite
in one circuit by following the map Gympy posted here

I didn't have a single issue with phasing nodes.

(there were a few volatile earth as well but I already had some in my bag so I couldn't count those)

Commento di Wowgal13

Has anyone had issues with your deposit disappearing on you. Found one near Darkwhisper Pass in Hyjal, evey time I enter the zone Hyjal it shows it there but as soon as I step foot in Darkwhisper it disappears. Any suggestions? Oh also Hyjal is the best place to farm for Obsidium ore :)

Commento di lordraptor1

sadly I have been all over deephom now for 2 days and have turned up only 3 or 4 obsidium nodes but have found tons of rich elementium which sadly cant be mined yet due to not being high enough level.

I ran into a similar issue with cobalt ore. my opinion is that mining like some zones is cross realm and you are not only competing against other miners on your own server but all the other servers as well.

either way from my experiences over the past 3 days I gotta say that something is DEFINATLEY wrong currently in regards to leveling mining.

Commento di mdw1975

I will give away my wonderful secret of mining 400 obsidium ores per hour (roughly). UNDER DA SEA! Seriously! and here's why... No one seems to go there so there is little competition if any for nodes, seahorse swims around fast, and most of all the nodes respawn so very fast you dont have to swim all over the place looking for them. All i do is swim the tiny little northern section of Shimmering Expanse from Ruins of Thelserai Temple to Silver Tide Hollow. I didnt keep a time track till I realized how fast it was going and i went from 115 ores to 475 ores in about 50 minutes

1-425 Pepita d'Obsidio

turns grey at 490

Commento di Ghyndui

I need obsidium to level my engineer. It sure seems that Deepholm has been nerfed of obsidium deposits compared to the map wowhead shows.
Is there some way to filter results by date range? For instance, I only want to see data uploaded within the last year.
