Mining 450-475 Obsidium in Mount Hyjal

You must be 425 to mine Obsidium. You can start mining Obsidium at 425 if you wish instead of doing Saronite to 450. The best zone to go for Obsidum Deposits is Mount Hyjal because your other options are under water. By all means if you like to play underwater try those zones out instead, but I found this to be more in line with the traditional way of mining.

Mining 475-525 Elementium in Deepholm

You must be 475 to mine Elementium. The best zone for Elementium is in Deepholm. Uldum and Twilight Highlands have it as well but it is more dense in Deepholm. The zone is literally loaded with Elementium wherever you go. Spiral outward along the edges and make sure you go inside the mine in the northeast.
