Are mining nodes really rare or am I just unlucky?

I think I've spent the better part of 4 hours basically just walking around like a dumbass searching for nodes and I barely found any.

I just managed to reach 115 mining and I'm very close to giving up. I spend more time searching for nodes than actually doing anything productive.

Is this thing intended or what? I'm on Icecrown.

It's the extremely profitability of mining.

And maybe GATHERER addon used for so many new characters.

At least, when i did mining farming, i went to dead mines dungeon, and soloed the thing.


I recommend you to use gathered addon, to know a good route and time of ore
