[H] Mining 1-525

[lethean]

Section: 225-275

Steps: 27-28

Problem: In Step 27, the guide tells me to learn Artisan mining and Smelt Thorium.
Step 28 guides me to smelt Thorium Bars up to 230, but there was no Thorium veins to be found in the previous area(Section ???-225) which was Felwood so I don't have these needed Thorium ores. Is this a real issue or did I just miss something?

I just looked at the guide and it seems a few things might be out-of-order.

If you're using the Mining with Smelting guide, the steps line up as there's a buy thorium ore step between the learn and smelt (so you have the materials).

The just Mining guide has you come from Felwood (which only has 1 very rare Thorium node spawn on the map) then try and do the smelts. After that it sends you to Un'Goro (which has tons of Thorium) to finish getting skill up to be able to mine Fel Iron.

The trip to Un'Goro needs to come before the Smelt Thorium Bars step (actually you should be able to just skip the smelting bars step and mine Thorium straight through to from 200 [225 after completing step 27] to 275, eliminating step 28).
