Gold Vein



Gold Veins rarely spawn in place of Iron Deposits or Mithril Deposits; as a result, they can be found in any zone where iron or mithril is found.

Contents
With Mining (1) in retail or Mining (155) in Classic, these veins can be looted for:
 * Gold Ore (guaranteed if Mining is 155 or higher)
 * Gold Ore Nugget (if Mining is 154 or lower; retail only)
 * Citrine (rare)
 * Jade (rare)
 * Lesser Moonstone (rare)

Quest items
Gold Veins in Felwood can also contain Tainted Vitriol if the player has a Cenarion Beacon in their inventory.
