Farming tips
- Silver Veins spawn in place of Tin, so any Tin loop finds some Silver too.
- Since the beta build of October 15 Incendicite Ore in the Wetlands respawns faster and more evenly.
What it is used for: Tin Bar and Bronze Bar for Blacksmithing and Engineering, plus many new Bronze recipes.
How much you get per hour
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.
In the first weeks after launch
FAQ
What Mining skill do I need for Tin?
Mining 65. Tin Veins stay orange until 90 and yellow until 115, so they carry you to Iron.
Checked Nov 5, 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.
Short on time for the profession grind?
Every guide here shows how to do it yourself. If your evenings are short, our boosters take the grind off your hands. Options and current prices are on each service page.

The farming map is bigger and opens in full screen, every material group shows its icon, and the sources and uses show their icons and link the professions.
The map of every material is now the World Map: zoom and drag it, dungeon drops show their entrance, one tap opens the full map.
