In the bree area - west of the norhtern bree fields are two lakes. The further west, lake strathemere I think, is a great place for anyone who prospects/forests at tier 2.
There are 3 ore nodes and 3 wood nodes on 3 islands in the lake. The swimming is a bit of a drag but they respawn on 6min timers so every six mins you get all those nodes.
Spent hours here yesterday while doing various other RL things - never saw a single person anywhere near the place and mined a ton.
hope you enjoy, just don't come at the same time I do
