According to blue, these guys are getting the weapon +40 spell damage enchant in 2.1.0.

Kommentar von 22388

confirmed on PTR

Kommentar von 24098

Confirmed on live. Drop rate is A LOT better then the Razaani.

Kommentar von zhek

These guys are far more common then their previous Spell Power holders. Additionally, it seemed that few if any of their spawn spots are capable of spawning anything but Bash'ir Spell-Thieves (so clearing the entire spawn area is unnecessary, the other spots simply won't spawn more and nothing else takes their place.)

I'm sure most people couldn't care less about stories of how fast other people got the pattern, but for my own experience, the 2man group I did this with got a pair of enchants in roughly 30 minutes. From this and the above posts, I'm positive the drop rate is incredibly higher, and far easier to farm due to the higher population.

6th one I killed dropped it

Kommentar von 17500

Switched to these mobs after checking here again. Got the drop on my first farm, maybe 30-40 kills.

Kommentar von 73751

So you are required to fly to these guys, where the old ones could be reached from the ground?

Kommentar von IGOREKSJ

Have been farming them for 2 days straight.. still waiting for it to drop.... horrible drop rate... going insane

Kommentar von 42461

I got lucky... about an hour, no one else around. I'm a mid-kara geared fire mage, most of the spell-thieves went down before they reached me.

Kommentar von 80417

Farmed this today, took 193 kills (bad luck?)

All of the spell-thief spawns are static and they don't share them with anything else. I farmed them in a circuit, i wouldn't recommend trying without a flying mount. With a flying mount i found it pretty easy to skirt it behind the spell-thieves and pull them alone. Here is where i found them, how many i pulled from each spot, and where i stood.

Start of the circuit:
Pulled 3 @ 54,15 (1 patrolled to that point) I stood at the end of the purple glowing hallway thing.

Pulled 4 @ 53,12 (1 patrolled to there). I stood on the right side of another purple hallway like thing and pulled another thief behind me at the mouth of a corral type thing.

1 @ 55,10 standing in front of a post. Pretty congested area, i recommend landing your mount right on top of him.

1 @ 51,13 He patrols up to the end of another purple hallway.

1 @ 51,17 I pulled this guy from a little rocky knoll just south of him.

1 @ 50,17 Pull this guy from above him on another knoll.

1 @ 49,16 Pull to a knoll between him and the purple boobs.

1 @ 53,19 East of the mob there is a small knoll.

1 @ 54,17 This one is kinda tricky, i found it best to aim for the middle of a 3 pillar formation on the back of this knoll. if you come in and dispel the mount you will notice a wasp on your right, one on your left, and a ghost directly between you and the mob. The mob stands in a little corral type thing and can be safely pulled without pissing off the ghost. If you fight him too far forward on the knoll then you will pull the ghost anyway. I stood right at the base of that pillar and didn't move.

All told i killed about 10 mobs that weren't spell thieves, not bad in my estimation.

Kommentar von 87281

got the enchant after about 45 mins of farming, much higher drop rate then razannia

Kommentar von Vaim

Been farming these for about 5+ hours now.
Swstats says i've seen roughly 430 of them die and i've yet to see it drop.

Enchanting 355 so that part should be fine.

I guess i'm just THAT lucky.

edit: ok, did 1 last run before going out and after about 440 kills i got it.

Kommentar von 87758

5 kills and hes drops formula

Kommentar von Rarehunter

A few notes about these guy's abilities: He has an ability that reduces magic damage by 20% and he will use it halfway through the fight. I'm not sure if he also has a buff that reduces melee damage by 20%. Also, when fought in groups, any DoT or other magical debuff placed upon another enemy mob will be absorbed to the Spell-Thief. This ability seems to occur around every 8 seconds or so.

Beware of the Arcanists when fighting these mobs, as they WILL take you down, very fast.
These guys look like Bash'ir Raiders, the only difference is that they're carrying magical blades that are larger than the Raider's blades.

Kommentar von 101187

it took me just 32 mobs to take the recipe.i was farming alone and took me less than an hour.Well gl to all that try it

Kommentar von 93590

I guess I got lucky. This enchant dropped for me after 10 or so kills. Shouldn't be too difficult to farm this. The mob is plentiful and you will find them everywhere, especially next to the tunnel-esqe structures. Three spawn here, one patrolling through the center and two on the sides.

Kommentar von archanfel

I seldomly post here but this is just too much for me to not share: So I read all the posts and take a good look at the 0.7% drop rate and told myself: Okay, get ready for a good ol' 3 hour+ grind. I got wizard oil, food buffs, BEM flask and 5 stacks of mage biscuits and flew to Bash'ir Landing. Right after I land, the very first kill, boom there is the receipe. I lol'd irl and all the "I hate you" from other enchanters in guild chat only make the experience so much better

Kommentar von Corbon

After formerly farming the Razaani's for days without luck, I rechecked the recipe drop location on Wowhead, only to find out that the Bashir Spell Thieves seems to have a much higher drop rate. Well they DO. Got the recipe on my _2nd kill_. If it weren't for a couple of random blues and my reputation with the Consortium being raised by 3,5k from all those key drops, I'd have to say "thanks for the time spent".

Kommentar von 84040

i have been farming for the enchant recipe for multiple days, and i have probably killed a couple hundred of these guys, what gives? my enchanting is only 340, is that a problem?

Kommentar von 57943

You can get this with enchanting skill 340, I just did, I got it on my 2nd kill. ^^

Kommentar von 44284

Took me two days to get the enchant, but in the meanwhile I had fun with these guys. As a holy paladin, I found I could easily do this 5 mobs at a time. The only issue is that if you are going to use Paladin AoE tactics in here, just be wary of the casters. If you get one, deal with him first. And try to not get more than one.

Also, AoE in here had many benefits as I got 3-4 full stacks of netherweave and 50 apexis shards and 4 ethereum prison keys while farming for the chant.

It was seriously the first time I had fun farming.

Kommentar von 66513

It dropped on my second kill. I was prepared for at least an hour of farming. So I stayed around and farmed anyway. <<

The guys drop a good amount of Netherweave in this area. Proved quite useful as a Tailor. You can also get the Apexis Shards in here. But you knew that. >>

Kommentar von 76660

Took me 251 kills to get this sucker to drop the formula, but as a Warlock it only took me about an hour and 45 minutes.

Kommentar von Samanosuke

Got it in an hr.

Fly to each location if you don't feel like messing with the others. They can drop some good stuff including motes of mana, but if you are pressed for time definitely fly.

Make sure you can differentiate between raiders and spell thief. Spell thief have brighter orange/yellow cloth and stand differently. Otherwise you will be wasting time accidently killing raiders who don't drop it.

Kommentar von 25769

Now adays there are daily quests on killing these mobs, so the droprate on wowhead will be even lower, but dont let it scare you.

Kommentar von lanrith

I got it on the 3rd mob. Lucky ^_^

Kommentar von Nailer

Took 51 kills to loot Formula: Enchant Weapon - Major Spellpower

Kommentar von fatt

The Spellpower formula only took 20-30 kills for me. Im a rogue. So i only killed wat i had to. Took no more than a half a hour considering i went there having no idea where they spawn. Easy farm, and a great chant.

Kommentar von Mindburn

Got the Major Spellpower after 6 mobs. (Lucky me?) Id say the drop chance is higher than 3%.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Enchant Major Spell Power drops off this mobs, LMAO. After the new patch.

Kommentar von Thottbot

better rate but not great, 70 or so kills

same farming method applies as before... static respawns so don't waste your time with other mobs

watch out for 20% magic reduction buff... try to get off big spells first for you casters before they buff themselves

luckily, the area is much larger so the pickings are far greater

good luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Farmed for 1 and a half hour and it dropped :)
Farm around 53,17 there are 5 or more Spell-Thieves there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ive been farming for hours and still no prob killed 100+

Kommentar von Thottbot

3 Days of off and on farming, killed at least 100 and no recipe. Plenty of greens though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

dropped on my 79th kill, no need to kill other mobs, can cleanly pull them with agro from others,

avg mob value 18s55c

Kommentar von Thottbot

got it after about 45 minutes of only killing the spell thiefs
not a real problem killing them without aggroing others

-Bookwook 70 Warlock

Kommentar von Thottbot

About 10-15, seems pretty easy to get all those world bop enchants now a days ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

took me 2 hours before it droped

Kommentar von Thottbot

15-20ish kills, pretty simple, they don't have a lot of HP either so nice and easy to kill.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I had been killing these things rather slowly for a while (me being a priest healer in dps gear) and I was about to leave and then I saw 3 together n I was like meh...Ill kill a few more. And it dropped from those! woot lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

Took me about 30-35 minutes of grinding spell-thiefes. Loc 53,17 is a good spot, and they spawn rather quickly. Killed around 25 of them to get the enchant.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Took me about 5-7 kills:)
Gj Blizz!

Kommentar von Thottbot

no lie, less than 10 kills and i got it, i got the battle cast hood pattern on first steamvaults run ever, today has been a lucky day

Kommentar von Thottbot

Don't let all the "OMG, 6th kill!" comments make you think this is gonna be some quick and easy task. I killed 104 and didn't have it drop. I'm cutting my losses and giving up.

The drop rate is 0.2% chance, so even after killing 100, the odds of it being dropped are low.

Keep in mind it isn't a cumulative process... thus you don't have a 100% chance of getting the recipe by killing 500 mobs (0.2% x 500 = 100%)or a 50% chance from killing 250. You have a 0.2% chance for each and every mob, and that's it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

no lie, it appeared in my inventory before I even thought about going there!

seriously, it's been days... I think I've had a few greens... got some keys to the cells though... I hate this quest but I refuse to let someone else put this on my weapon, i want it for my own... I'll give it another 13 or 14 weeks and then I'm outta here...

Kommentar von Thottbot

dropped of the 10th Spellthief, Loot list was longer (5) items, so i scrolled down and knew it. Easy peasy. Good Hunting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

omg...yea...took me about 2 hours at this spot but it finally dropped. just use flying mount and u can hit without having to fight all the mob's. but maybe u will have better luck then I.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got it in 4 kills :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got the recipe for Major Spell Power on my 3rd Kill. MUCH better place to get this than the other place! Located at Bash'ir's Landing in BEM at approx. 50, 14

Kommentar von Thottbot

Finally got it after 4 hours of farming :)

Very nice and defintily worth it. Got tons of money,cloth,and keys from the mobs too.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got the Enchant pattern after 1.5 hours of farming... ny the looks of it, I got it good. Also got two prison keys, a green axe, and two pairs of uncommon pants.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Took me 93 kills.

Kommentar von Thottbot

6 strait hours and well over 1000 Bash'ir Spell-Thief kills and still no Weapon Spellpower drop. I have got the circuit down to a science however. There are 11 Spell-Thieves that I have found. 9 Static and 2 patrolling. With epic mount you can kill all 11 and get back to the first just before it respawns.

1 at 54.10 next to where you get the Unstable flasks
1 at 54.11 at the semicircular lighted structure
2 at 53.13 and 2 at 53.16 flanking lighted tunnel structures that lead into Bashirs landing. The 2 patrollers end their routes there so timing it right you can catch three at each tunnel (the patrollers respawn there)
1 in little semicircle structure at 54.17
1 at 52.19 on little (real small) circular platform
1 under tent at 49.16

EDIT: Ended up taking me 9 hours of grinding. I figure I killed between 1500 and 2000 Spell-Thieves to get it. Be prepared this could be a long grind.

Kommentar von Thottbot

219th kill. I had given up on the 640th kill of the old mob (Rezaani Spell-Thief) months ago, then figured I'd give the new mob and drop rate a try.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Took me 4 Bash'ir Spell-Thief before it dropped

Guess im just lucky:)

Kommentar von Thottbot

What lvl are the mobs ?
And is there a need of flying mount to get there ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I couldn’t find a way in without a flying mount. I am only level 68. I tried to walk around the cliffs and fell to oblivion. Since I couldn’t recovery my body, I took the rez at the spirit which was in the zone. I decided since I was there and my hearth was down I would wait out the sickness and go take a look. Killed the level 70 Bash'ir Spell-Thief and got the enchantment first kill. Great post thanks for the help!

Kommentar von Thottbot

67 Mage. Didn't have to die to get there and didn't have to kill but 2 spell thiefs to get the Recipe. Not to bad for 10 minutes work.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed about 70-80, 45 min, dropped then. GL!

Kommentar von Thottbot

You can summon to Bash'ir Landing or use the GY death trick. There is a nice cluster of them to the Eastern end, 3x at 2 tunnels for 6, + 2 at the timed event spot, and another 5 just by the tunnels. Makes for a nice camp spot. Got a few greens during the camp.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this just dropped for me at the 5. i killed :D

look like i was lucky

Kommentar von Thottbot

enchanting formula on 3rd kill :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got mine after about 1 hour of grinding
Best tactic is to use your flying mount and drop right behind them and take them out, no problems agroing others.
Got it after about 45-50 kills.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It still drops, got it after maybe 20 kills? Just kill some before you do the daily there and you should get it in a few days.

Kommentar von Thottbot

took about 15 kills for me, one of the easier BC BoP recipes to me, been farmin 20 spell dmg to bracers for awhile tho = (

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Confirmed, recipe dropped for me the day after 2.1 was introduced. Didn't take too many kills (about 40-50) to get it. Spell-thiefs were found mostly at the entrance to the camp and there were some inside.

Good luck farming!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it on my fifth kill! on my lock...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

these guys will drop the +40 spell power enchant as of the new patch...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enchant Weapon- "Major Spellpower" enchant has been stolen from the Razaani spell thieves by the Bash'ir spell thieves. The Bash'ir are more likely to have the recipe than the Razaani previously did, however.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yes they will drop the enchant, but the patch has yet to be released.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone know if these are involved in any quests?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Finaly i got it. Farmed for many days on the other mobs that can drop this recipe. Got realy tired and nearly gave the whole ^&*! up.
I decided to head out to these mobs. It was so much easier to get a effective farmrate on theese mobs. They stand realy mostly alone so its easy to take them down. Aslo the rate of Spellthieves are hugher than for the Razaani ones.
I killed around 50 of them and then it droped.
Must have killed 300+ of the Razaani ones without a drop.

Good luck to you all.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

These mobs have dropped a lot of greens and one blue for me already, but not the enchant. Ugh.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Arghhh. Serves me right for gloating. Need runed adamantite rod - doh!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it on my second kill. Now thats luck.....hehe

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this chant on My 3rd kill.

Thief was around 52,15

Great chant for My lock, well worth the trip to get it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

took me one hour and 50ish kills to get this

Kommentar von Allakhazam

took me about 200 kills over 2 days, got it on 10th kill on 3rd day. 49, 17 for me. i now have enough cloth to lvl tailoring 3 more times ><

Kommentar von LemmyK

Killed about 10 today and the enchant dropped :)

Kommentar von LuckyMankrik

Just went out to farm the +40 spell damage enchant this morning. Based on the comments here I expected it to take a while. Just flew around the area with a targeting macro and dropped in to only kill the spell thiefs. Took all of 10 minutes to get the drop. Not sure if I got really lucky or the drop rate has been increased.

Kommentar von Lomkail

Killed about 150 today. No drop. :/

Kommentar von Quineloe

I got three keys and no enchants after a bunch of kills... looking at the drop numbers up there, that's wild.

Kommentar von gbalkam

Confirmed, these do drop the enchant recipe. Got it today on 4th kill. Mobs are there, farther north than the first ones you see flying in. Watch out for Firewing *elite dragon*. Killed me while I was writing this. LOL

Kommentar von Xmcdizzle

First kill, enchant dropped. Pog

Kommentar von Erethzium

Yeah the drop rate is definitely higher than 4%. It only took me about 20 kills.

Kommentar von Strath

First kill, ezgame

Kommentar von NemesisWiberg

Over 500 kills with Death knight now in prepatch... nothing
