Orich Ore Nodes

jmaldona29 · June 2015

So I'm strictly working on blacksmithing and I'm at the point where my craft daily quests require builds with orich ingots. I've seen guides suggest Eastmarch, Deshaan, and Shadowfen. I farmed for 2 hours today and walked away with 18 total ores. Where in the world do I farm this stuff. I already have the keen eye perk but it seems useless with these specific ores.

I'm EP Alliance on PS4 NA server.

You don't start being able to farm Orichalcum ore until the second zone, so Deshaan for Ebonheart Pact. However, high iron ore will be more common there, so you should stick with Shadowfen for finding Orichalcum, which is more prevalent there. Eastmarch will still have some orichalcum nodes, but you'll start to see ebony nodes there.

At least, this is what I recall, but perhaps someone else has some more specific data on the node spawn percentages for these zones.

My 2 hour farming session was in Shadowfen. That's the frustrating part. I'm just wondering if there's a specific spot within the map there I should be looking at. I get most of my ores by deconstructing gear from dungeons but since I maxed out my werewolf I wanted to just farm these nodes
