Mining Node Spawns

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report

As someone who has mined thousands of ore, and made well over 3K gold on a pretty dead server from sheer mining… I’ve noticed a trend over the past two weeks: mining nodes seem to respawn at a ridiculously slow pace.

After dozens of hours spent the past 14 or so days, mining during early hours when the server is empty is actively worse than attempting to mine during prime-time.

This morning, I spent hours in both EPL and Burning Steppes - places I could consistently get mining nodes over the course of 100 hours+ - seem to have virtually nothing. After over 2 hours of mining, I’ve seen 2 total nodes spawn.

Currently, there is not a single soul in EPL, yet no nodes appear.

Is anyone else experiencing this? It is quite frustrating because this is a night and day difference compared to two weeks ago. Almost every morning I could go mine and at least get a few stacks of ore an hour, but now I’m lucky to have a single stack over the course of two hours.

I have also experienced this. I was farming Winterspring for Thorium trying to max out my mining, nodes barely spawn. I’m in Outland now mining too, it’s like nodes just stopped spawning.

I want to know how you managed to get into outland in classic.

Depends on the zone, I mine as well but honestly got tired of it. If you’re not doing jump runs you’re left in the dust. Spawns take forever, and on my server where there’s like 60% horde it’s a struggle 'cause I can’t even run them out of the zone since I chose a PvP server. So all the zones usually have people, and I’ve spent 2 hours running around the track in Un’Goro Crater to find one vein, not even one of the rich veins.
But yeah, I got tired of it and am leveling an herbalist right now. So, hopefully that’s better.

Bump.

This is still happening.
