Ok folks, the release of Burning Crusade is a mere 9-10 weeks away!
Let’s recap your current situation. At this point you’re level 60…..a PVP king and just sitting back waiting for the BC expansion pack. Well, I’m sure you realize thousands upon thousands of players on your server(s) are sitting on a boatload of gold just waiting to get their hands on the new slotted objects/trinkets/armor that will be coming with the expansion. The question is, do you want to compete with them in the AH to purchase these items, or do you want to be the entrepreneurial chap who has stockpiled the components to make these new items? Hopefully you do realize the demand will be staggering for these components! Time to prepare to get rich! Notice I said prepare, it’s time to horde (no pun intended) reagents in preparation for the new item crafting/buying rush!
From the little bit of recipe info leaked it seems many of the new items won’t stray too far from the components already needed. Specifically thorium and arcanite crystals will be in high demand! The one item I’ve found with specific statistics which will only be able to be crafted in the expansion is an "Arcanite Sword Pendant" which you will be able to drop into a slotted sword……and get this. It will add +40 STR! Woah!
Now how many thorium bars will such a craftable item require? Not sure, but it will surely be quite a bit! So essentially it’s time to start mining thorium ore like a madman and stockpiling thorium bars! My prediction is thorium will be selling for 500% more than it currently is on the AH once crafting gets rolling on the new items. Demand will be extremely high for thorium and arcanite bars, and arcane crystals (required for the transmuting). So get to stockpiling!
Here are the locations for the RICH THORIUM VEINS all you miners should be picking away at.

And now for the ARCANE CRYSTAL farming spots.

Stockpile these 2 resources like madpeople for the next few months. You won’t be sorry you did! I’ll be keeping an eye out for other leaked recipes, but it’s a pretty safe bet you should be stockpiling level 60 reagents in general! Herbalists, go get that Wild Thornroot and SAVE it!
