Any Trillium deposits you find will only increase your yield (but decrease your Ghost Iron Ore yield if that's what you're after). This is approximately 4 and a half bars of Living Steel in materials. My route brings in roughly 9 Ghost Iron Ore per minute or 27 stacks per hour. Going all around the zone mining everything in sight doesn't allow you to mine the same respawning node over and over again. Assuming every node started out as Ghost Iron, 19 respawns at 10 sites is 190 chances at getting Trillium ore to respawn (getting 100 nodes to respawn only once is 100 chances). Every node respawn is a chance at getting Trillium Ore to spawn. What I'm saying is instead of mining 100 different nodes twice per hour, mine 10 different nodes 20 times per hour. If you intend to farm up Trillium Ore, you need to mine the fewest nodes possible the maximum times per hour. Even if all you're after is Ghost Iron ore, my route still brings in more ore than any other route despite having a higher Trillium to Ghost Iron ratio due to how much easier it is to " own" the nodes on my route. Plenty of people will probably recommend routes that take you all across a zone. If not, you mine out the Ghost Iron and move on. To do this in the most effective way possible, you want to mine out the node, go do something else (such as more mining) while waiting for the node to respawn and then come back to the node after it has respawned.

You have to mine the Ghost Iron ore and hope Trillium respawns. If the Ghost Iron spawned in the node, none of the other spots within that node will spawn Trillium. Trillium nodes share nodes with Ghost Iron. In order to get Trillium Ore nodes to spawn, you have to give them some place to spawn. This is why I'm mentioning this in the Ghost Iron Ore section. Both of those methods happen to require you farm lots of Ghost Iron Ore in the most efficient way possible. There are two ways to obtain Trillium Bars: transmuting Ghost Iron Bars, or smelting Trillium Ore. Since the only way to make it involved Trillium Bars, I had to find a way to get as many Trillium Bars as possible. Living Steel<-6 Trillium Bars<-24 Trillium Ore Living Steel<-6 Trillium Bars<-60 Ghost Iron Bars<-120 Ghost Iron Ore Although it's directed at maximizing Trillium Ore spawns for the purpose of making Living Steel, the methods I've given and the route I've linked still bring in superior amounts of Ghost Iron Ore due to how much easier it is to "own " each ore node in the route. I'm reposting this from the Living Steel thread because it's still the best route I've found for mining Ghost Iron Ore. Please be helpful to your fellow posters and report this thread as out of date. Comentario de DisRuptive1 TL DR: It is my understanding that patch 5.4 has broken this route.
