So I'm currently lvl56, just an inch away from 57. So just a few evenings of playtime and off I go into Outlands to get that phat lewt.
But my blacksmithing is currently only 266, I quess I can go 275 or so with the mats I currently have. As far as I can tell, I need to go to 320 before I enter the Fel Iron stage of blacksmithing. And getting that missing 45 skill points with thorium items requires huge loads of thorium. I'm quessing 60+ STACKS of thorium..
So my question is, do you find thorium in Outlands? I mean more than you do in Un'Goro?
If not, is there really a point to spend the next week or two collecting that much thorium so I'll have blacksmithing at 320 when I enter Outlands? Should I just leave the profession where it is, and not concentrate on it until I'm 70 and collect the thorium while I'm waiting for groups to high level instances?
