Smelt Pyrite - Allows the miner to smelt a chunk of pyrite ore into a pyrium bar. Smelting requires a forge. Creates Item #51950. / Reagents: Item #52183 x 2Originally Posted by bregtann
Seems to me you need Pyrite ore to make Pyrium bars.

(yes its made of saronite)
by gold you mean copper yes? because there is virtually, if any, use of gold as a weapon in the real world ever.Originally Posted by purefury
should make mining pyrite a right click now quick time event, do it wrong, the mining tool hits the wrong way, creates a spark, and a wonderful walk back from the graveyard
could see it now, flying over the barrens, and just see large blue mushroom sized explosions

Yep, I can confirm that every metal in WoW has is the same as it's real life counterpart.
Cobalt? Yep, in real life you can find that in nature and it's better than steel.
Thorium? Yeah, once again, in real life it isn't at all radioactive or useful for armor.
Not.
So yeah, it doesn't matter.

Some of the stuff we've made into armor in game would be pretty terrible and unpleasant to have pressed against you irl.
Actually I think the fact that we use radioactive armor is pretty awesome. But fool's gold isn't. I know they wanted to use a cliche fire name, but I don't think it fits.
Oh, sorry, I guess Elementium ore doesn't make much sense either.
It doesn't need to make sense. There's something called suspension of disbelief. If you get hung up on fool's gold, I don't know how you can play wow at all. How can Elemental shaman cast lighting? If they tried to throw a lighting bolt at someone it would just ground itself! There's things that make a whole lot less sense than the fact that there's a mineral that happens to share a name with Fool's Gold. Last I checked, liquid fool's gold wasn't blue and explosively volatile. Anyway, how is that a cliche? Using a mineral that's named something that literally means fire is fitting, not cliche. What would you rather they used? They're using Obsidian and Elementium, to fit the theme of the expansion, and there's not really that many minerals that make sense.
Wait, you're implying that I cant ride a gigantic dragon made of bone and completely vanish into the nothingness whenever I feel like it in real life? Lies. Lies and shenanigans.
I think people just don't understand what OP is trying to say.
Cobalt is a radioactive metal = better, more expensive, more rare than others.
Thorium, "Elementium" maybe moon rocks or any other thing you might now find in earth easily (non existent or from another planet, yes moon rocks are atm the most expensive material cause of it's obvious difficult to be found or "mined")
Pyrite is what some know as "fools gold" is not an expensive mineral, not even rare.
So why go from copper to iron, silver, gold then to some stuff from "other worlds" and now back to a simple cheap rock (even cheaper than all the previously mentioned)
And if any of you think that they could be running out of metals or elements look here: http://www.webelements.com/
Any of those Lanthaniods or Actinoids or crazy lab made elements, existent that could be use. Of course mos are raidoactive but hey it's wow we can handle that.
Don't try to equate any metals, ores or elements in WoW to those existing in real life.
Instead imagine that they took a list of real-life and made-up ores, minerals, and the periodic table of elements... pasted it all to a wall... covered Chris Metzen in honey... and then threw him at the wall. Wherever Chris stuck, they used that name for an in-game ore.

lol. That would be awesome.Originally Posted by Mufasax
Until you get people on level 1 alts with a stack of pyrite ore... one stray fireball and everyone under 80 in the city dies lol.
Hello, your friendly neighborhood chemistry/physics nerd here. A lot of people have mentioned cobalt being radioactive along with thorium. Well, naturally occurring cobalt isn't radioactive at all really. This confusion comes from cobalt-60, an artificially made radioactive isotope used in research, industry and amongst others is a very dangerous part of nuclear fallout.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
PS.
Anyway, what's so bad about explosive armor? Reactive armor is awesome for tanks!
I'm going to chuckle if when you go to mine Pyrite it has a "Insert percentage here" chance to blow up and kill the miner =D And anyone who tries to gank him/her while they are mining.
Invisible fire is scary fire- Capt_jesus
i was positive we would have kajamite

And some other stuff. But not pyrite.
We were fueling our tanks and shooting fools gold at the flame leviathan? LMAO
Since we're comparing wow metals with real ones, i've got a gripe!
There's no such thing as gold or silver ore! The metals are mined (or other technique) pure!
And why is one gold bar only worth 6 silver!
