Drop rate seems less after 2.0.7 patch.

Kommentar von 21579

Farming in Shadowmoon seems like the best idea since every single person who wants motes of air goes to the elemental plateau, Shadowmoon is better and has a larger mob area to sweep. I find they drop just as much or more in Shadowmoon compared to Nagrand

Kommentar von 21579

These mobs are alot weaker than Nagrand ones as well

Kommentar von 28301

On the northern side of Shadowmoon Valley (61,21) the Enraged Windspirits are connected to Scorpions that path next to them. This area should be done with a 2-man group.

Kommentar von 21579

The only downside to farming most of these, not all of them is that they all have other random mobs spread in between them like in the north along the cliffs and in the south among the crystals. So it is very handy to have your flying mount to steer around the ones you don't want.

I would suggest the ridge north of the Aldor base. It seems to almost never be farmed, and, in my opinion, the mobs have a significantly higher drop rate. I have farmed 7-8 primals in an hour, at times. The other mobs aren't really a problem, and if you do kill them, they drop a gray which vendors well.

Kommentar von Lavernius

I've just started farming Primal Airs off of these mobs recently, and I read in a thread on a different mobs lower than 70 have a lower chance to drop Motes, and may not drop them at all.

Can anyone confirm this?

By far the most efficient way to get motes of air, at least on my server. Farmed 4 easily in about 30 minutes. Also got my 2x cobrascales in 2 kills for my 40 AP 10 crit rating enchant :P

Kommentar von Centa

Was there today killed ~50 mobs without a single mote of air drop, went there later today, killed ~30 mobs with 1 mote of air drop.

Am i just totaly unlucky or did they nerf again?

Kommentar von niallest

Tonight I farmed the northern ones above the Aldor base, and had little trouble. got 4 primals (40 motes) in less than an hour. druid insta-flight came in handy when avoiding the snakes and scorpions up there.

if you are a meele (warr/rogue/palla/enhc sham) try to stna at max meele range (5 yard) and when he does the hurricane thing u run to his back and that way he stand there casting while you can stab him in the back or whack him in his head
also after about 2 hours of grindig these i got nearly 50% (47%) drop on mote of air

Kommentar von GraysonCarlyle

These are in fact infinite spawn due to them being quest mobs. The price on US-Hyjal has dropped off dramatically because when you get 9-10 people farming them all at once, they're respawning on top of you, and we seem to constantly have 9-10 people farming them now. If the price is still high for you, you might want to make a guild project out of it; put people near all the spawn points and go nuts for a couple hours.

Kommentar von 69031

Ok i kill about 10 mob then more 1-2 dorp that = 10 % drop rate on (stormrage)

Kommentar von 47633

I would also recommend the northern spot for farming if you are a skinner. The Shadow Serpents in the area have a 10% drop rate for Cobra Scales (same as all other mobs that drop scales).
You may be able to pick a few of these up while you're farming your primals.

Kommentar von bgp0231

It seems as of the new patch killing the air spirits in the SOUTH will only get the quest complted.

Kommentar von 50427

the drop rate of motes for me here is terrible. i got maybe 13 motes in one hour, and i wasnt competing with anybody. even with the high amount of farmers in nagrand, i can at least get 40 motes an hour. just go there, if you dont have a flyer even the wanderers in nagrand i better from my experiences

Kommentar von 95585

this mob doesnt drops 1 gold andf 50 silver like wowhead posted i tested it myself please reply if i am wrong

Kommentar von 47482

Blizzard seems to have jacked up the respawn rate (think ele plateau in the first few weeks of BC) and at the same time, nerfed the drop rate of motes. Now I haven't seen anything posted, but I've seen the crummy drop rate now for myself. The first 100 kills netted my 15 motes. The second hundred kills netted 14 motes. weaksauce....

Kommentar von 105506

I dont know if its only me but i did kill like 30-45 of them at aldor base but no motes when i was in party and when i leaved the group did they drop on like every mob i killed so i dont know if i only had terribly luck or something

Kommentar von Mandalorian

Broke my record here today in the first 17 min. I got 21 motes after 1.5 hours i had 44 motes with like 3 others farming, was truely a great day there for me oh almost forgot 3 Essence of air too. hope you have a great day like mine

Kommentar von beholder87

Farmed the ones north of the aldor flight path for about 6 hours over the course of 2 days to get 20 primals. According to my addon, they have roughly a 50% drop rate for motes, and I ended up getting 2 BoE epics off them to boot. Within the first hour of farming I looted Pants of Living Growth, and while I was in the process of telling my friends, Lola's Eve dropped. I was then lucky enough to get a Girdle of Gale Force from a scorpid a few kills later. I guess it was just my day =P

All in all, I would say the cliffs to the north of the aldor flight path is by far my favorite place to farm primal airs. The entire time I was there farming, I didn't see a single other player. Plus the area has a few adamantite/rich adamantite spawns and great skinning from the snakes also. Prime spot for sure.

Kommentar von dedpool

Drop rate for me on northern ridge is horrible, tried 2 days in a row, and only got about 7 motes in an hours worth of time.

Kommentar von 127688

Tried this today as a 70 shadow priest. Was the only one farming them. Ended up with 43 motes in about an hour. I averaged a mote a minute for the first 20 minutes or so, but they went dry all of a sudden, and I went another 20 minutes without seeing a single mote.

I might be wrong but the snakes, elementals and scorpions seem to share spawn points, so it's worth it to clear the beasts to get more elemental spawns. I got half the shelf full of nothing but elementals one pass, it was beautiful.

Kommentar von Thottbot

No problem with elements at 61, 66

Kommentar von Thottbot

I farm these for primal airs.

The best strat is to do a loop once around the Netherdrake crystal area, and then another loop around the Altar south of it.

These spawn on the northern slope of SMV too, but there are a lot of scorpions mixed in with them. The southern part is better because there are nothing but elementals.

These tend to not be heavily farmed, the only competition I've seen is from those doing the totems quest. Everyone is (stupidly) at the Elemental Plateau or as I like to call it the "Nagrand Non-instanced Battleground."

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was farming these for Mote of Airs.
If no one else if farming or killing these, I can make a primal every twelve minutes +/- 2 mins.

Spawn rate is quick - I don't leave the area south near the altar, i just do circles around it.

Primals are selling for 30-40g on my server. So this is a good money maker.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Is it possible that they reduced the drop%?
Last week I was farming them with the same results as the above poster, but since wednesday, I can farm for 1 hour and get only one primal air.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I think they did... Sigh... Where am I supposed to farm now? Nagrand @ Elemental Plateu? No ^&*!ing way, at least 5 people are there at ANY TIME! We need new area with these, or just give the drop rate back.

Kommentar von Thottbot

for making money this isn't that bad. although the drop rate is reduiced, you can sell them for more on ah. I used 2 sell primals for about 20g on ah. Now i get about 30-35 gold depending on the market

Kommentar von Thottbot

Did these always have a 90 second respawn rate? Because I was on the northern spawn zone and they would repop before I could finish drinking to restore mana.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is false.
The respawn rate appears to be this random only because there are multiple spawn points in extremely close proximity.
The rate is also affected by the number of players in the zone. If you're a great farmer, you want to be there when it's busy (even if competitive). If not, you want to be there when it's lonely.

Kommentar von Thottbot

any idea how much hp thse elementals have?

Kommentar von Thottbot

The first four i killed all dropped 2x Mote of Air. The resulting ones also had decent drop rates so I'm happy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i killed about 30 of them and got 24 mote of air thats about 70% drop rate. and they have about 5600 hp. :) thats really good :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Damn you guys lucky, not going too swell for me, killed 7 when i got there no drops, then i got bout a mote every kill made the primal air, then 7 drops with nothing....and now i continue to farm.

Kommentar von Thottbot

farmed bout 32, got a primal and 3 motes, so bout 13/32 more along the lines of drop rate then you guys.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well.... this is strange.
I just started to farm here this morning and it happened more that i got 2 drops then 1....
it was like a 160% drop chance...
I had 2 where i didn't get any mote

Kommentar von Thottbot

wow these things respawn so fast since last patch.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Drop rate isn't so good north of the Altar of Shatar, but at least it's quiet.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I can usually make 10 primals in two hours easily in SMV. Droprate isn't that bad in my opinion, and they drop tons of other stuff too. Mostly greys and useless greens, but they vendor quite well :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

i was farming here earlier, and i only got about 20% drop chance, and they only dropped 1 mote each

Kommentar von Thottbot

~8000 HP, hits for 200 on cloth, Hurricaine AE attack - ~200 nature damage per second, chain lightening - ~900 nature damage.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i'm pretty sure the drop rate has been changed. i farmed them here a month ago and got them easily. now i am farming them again and it took me 10 kills to get 2. anyone else?

Kommentar von Thottbot

It seems as though this drop rate has been reduced recently. Killed 22 of them and got two motes. I can't believe that this is just horrible luck. I'm going back to elemental gankteau

Kommentar von Thottbot

I think you might be right I've been out here for about 2 hours and only got 3 motes. I'mma try the platue as well.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just spent an hour killing a myriad of enraged spirits, and I did not get one mote. I was in SMV near the dude with the totems. Netherwing Pass I believe.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well from what I have seen this spot sucks. In one hour and about 80 kills all I got was...

-2 primal airs (20 motes)
-1 random green
-blue ragesteel pattern

Its just not worth the effort. Since you can go farm somewhere else and get 5-8 primals an hour...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I killed these guys for about three hours last night. I didn't keep track of the number killed, but based on how many 'elemental fragments' and 'primordial essences' were in my bags, I killed around 250 of them. I picked up 98 'motes of air', two 'essence of air' and two green armor pieces. So my drop rate was around 30% and not significantly different than the posted 25%. This is a major exercise in patience.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

suks to be u then

Kommentar von Allakhazam

These are really great to grind air motes on. They're most common in the south-eastern corner of Shadowmoon Valley.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Two hours of grinding these elementals gave me:

77 motes of air
1 blue armor piece
4 green armor pieces

I killed 193 Enraged Air Spirits. This means the drop chance for me was 40%.

Lots of other people were grinding there; as a hunter I love my 'Track elementals'!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Umm, hello. This morning whilst farming motes of air which dropped quite frequently, an Enraged Air Spirit dropped the "Singing Crystal Axe". Just to add the possible epic drops

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i tried killing these guys for about 2 hours and not one mote dropped, 25.85% my ass

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got Design: Delicate Living Ruby off of these. =)

Edited, Aug 17th 2007 1:00:27pm by Kameya

Kommentar von Salanan

Drop rate is FAR worse than the 29% wowhead suggests.. ive killed at least 30 and have gotten 5 motes of air.

Kommentar von newBlock

I farmed these guys for about an hour in southern SMV an excellent drop chance on Luftpartikel.
