We measure real amounts per hour on the live realms in launch week and add them here. Until then the map shows how dense the nodes are and the table the drop rates.
After launch on November 4Mining 65. Tin Veins stay orange until 90 and yellow until 115, so they carry you to Iron.
Checked Sep 28, 2026. Nodes, spawn points and drop rates follow the WoW Forever database, drop rates and farm spots come from Classic until Forever has its own numbers.
