As most of you guys know, there are spots with rich thorium vein. And those spots are heavily camped with rogues atm. I mean, every damn spot on whole map is camped by min 4 rogues. Blizzard really fuc ke d up and gave rogues that cloack from rune quest. I mean, 3 on stealth level is huge. If you are any other class than rogue, you can not have mining on a lvl you could have it on classic vanila. Game litterally makes you lvl up rogue. And than, you come as orc rogue for example, you try to mine, and you realize that humans have perception, and all those ally farmers are humans. SO if you are not ally human rogue, you can litteraly drop mining as profesion.
You know i have a strange dream at night.
I enter a Bg on phase 4 of SoD and there is nobody in there . No Shamans . No totems.
Nobody.
And suddenly i get a STAB in the back.
As i fall down i see all those rogues laughing at me and i wake up.
Such a weird dream …
I blame this on Youtube. I saw a video of some nomber 1 rogue on how to win a pvp
against every class in SoD with varieties ofcourse.
My Track hidden + cat elixir is like useless. Why dont I have a quest with a clock?
Does this “3 bonus stealth levels” mean that the detection works as if the char would be lvl 53 instead of 50 or what?
Check the clock or the quest in wowhed. There is guy in comments explaining that.
Dont know if he is right or wrong.
What server is this on? I have been mining for a month and I never had this problem. I see hunters and shamans sometimes scouting with eagle eye, but that about it.
Same, i have only had issues with some hunters, but else its been fine.
The real problem is how at peak player hours, 17-23, the mining is dreadful.
Each node spawn location seems to have 2-3 other miners looking.
I can only imagine how many people will be fighting about nodes first weeks of p4.
Knowing the current developers, they will guaranteed add a catchup mechanic.
Here are some examples of what our insane retail devs might add:
- Arcanite veins which give 3-4 Arcanite crystals and possible gems
- Up rich thorium crystals from 2-5% to 30-50% drop chance
- Have repeatable quests which give crystals
- Add new mobs that drop bars in dungeons / world
- Add crystals and bars to gem sack drops from bosses we will all farm
- Have dire maul be easily farmable and bottable from day 1
- Reduce crystal costs in all recipes and quests, elementium 10 reduced to 3
- Add new overpowered recipes which do not use arcanite bars at all and renders all arcanite recipes worthless
- Allow you to break down ore for gems where you can find crystals from thorium
Its really a dealers choice about how they will mess this one up.
You are a Hunter right?
With lvl 60 you can most likely do DM East solo runs for the 2-3 Thorium Veins at the end. I know people who made a fortune with that in Classic. Will most likely also work with a couple of other classes like Warlock-Tank, Shaman etc.
Bots will fly in DM since day 1 same as they did in classc era. Crystals will cost nothing.
Really now… a hunter complaining about rogues when it comes to mining.
Is the mountain of advantages a hunter has not enough to overcome some s*itty cloak that allows some rogue to camp a single vein spot while you scan the whole map?
I am sure that one of the game developers was a rogue.
If you are paladin, what zones you could farm? Ungoro maybe? I mean, whole of winterpsring is full of rogues on my server. There are guys with 4 rogues and 4 accounts farming 25+ crystals a day. I talked with some of them, they have 500+ crystals in bank. Rogue easily walks around lvl 58 mobs with no detection. And have sap or blind or gouge to mine it and vanish to disapear if he is taged by npc.
Rogues are not rogues , they are ninjas in SoD.
And we all know that only ninja can kill a ninja.
I hope that’s true because it means the price is going to drop when everybody starts dumping their stocks into the economy.
I suspect we will be able to exchange Tarnished Undermine Real for craft material such as Arcanite Bars

I’ve gotten my arcane crystals for P4 already (100+) but will be doing this for defo. This will be my main money maker, along with DMT on my hunter. This is why i always make my gatherer a hunter. Those Ghost Mushrooms are nice too.
