Farming Trillium Ore — Retail

Retail · Mists of Pandaria materials
Updated 21 October 2026

This is the Retail guide for Trillium Ore. It covers an older expansion’s crafting material, not Midnight’s new reagents.

Train Pandaria Mining for this material. Retail uses a separate 1–75 Pandaria skill bar; the old combined 1–600 progression does not apply. Character levels depend on zone scaling and timeline selection, so the map and quest requirements in your current game determine access.

Where to farm Trillium Ore

  • Dread Wastes or Townlong Steppes

Enable Find Minerals and follow the zone circuit. Gather other deposits along the way rather than waiting beside a single spawn; competing miners and respawn timing change how much you collect.

Trillium comes in Black and White varieties. Work the Dread Wastes and Townlong Steppes routes, collecting Ghost Iron as you go. Two Black Trillium Ore and two White Trillium Ore make one Trillium Bar. Smelt Trillium is learned at Pandaria Mining 75.

Search the kypari tree areas and eastern slopes with mineral tracking. Classic needs 550 for Kyparite, 575 for Rich Kyparite and 600 for Trillium. Black and White Trillium are both needed for a bar; gather ordinary deposits while looking for the rare veins. Markers identify approximate areas. Lines are suggested searches; they are not fixed spawn locations or a measured yield guarantee.
