Farming tips
- Rich Thorium is the best source of Arcane Crystals, keep them for Arcanite or sell them.
- The Burning Steppes and the Plaguelands have Thorium too when Un'Goro is crowded.
What it is used for: Thorium Bars for endgame Blacksmithing and Engineering, Arcanite, and the new Heavy Thorium that only a miner's Molten Foundry can smelt.
