If your a mage and when the invaders are up a good source of income (gold) is to get on your mount gather up about 6-10 of them and AoE them done.

This is the best with a ice spec, and 2 points into Magic Attunement.

A good proc-ed and skilled frost mage could handle with 40 + at one that could lead him to rly easy money if there aren't any gankers around

Elemental Invasions - Every Few Days

Reports of elemental incursions in different parts of Kalimdor are increasing. Every few days, a new wave of elementals blasts its way into the regions of Silithus, Un'Goro Crater, Azshara, and Winterspring - ostensibly, for the sole reason of seeing just how far into these territories they can penetrate before being beaten back by the forces of the Horde or the Alliance. Investigate these regions and aid your allies in countering these mysterious invasions.

The toughest, *still not very though* Elemental Invader, There is Earth, Fire, water, and Wind, this being the wind.

Hes the common highest level, and he has around 30% drop rate for Essence of Air.

These stupid things make it nearly impossible to do the twilight tablet fragment quest. They're literally EVERYWHERE.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ive been searching the area the map shows...but no sign of them..i only see the dust elementals all over

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is the elemental invasion wich was in the last patch

Kommentar von Thottbot

A friend of mine was farming essences in that area when the gates opened and the Elementals started to spawn yesterday.
So we gathered a few guildies and farmed for about an hour, avoiding the Windreaver. When some ppl from the bigger guilds appeared and assaulted the monster, they got wiped.
Me(60mage) and my friends (56druid, 60warrior) killed the boss before the others could, and he only dropped a lame green cloak. NO ESSENCES.

Also the gates closed -----> no more spawns----> no more insane droprates 4 elementals :(

try avoiding that bastard, imho its simply not worth it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was just wondering if anyone knew when the whirling invaders spawn / invade Silithus...as in how often does it happen?

I've been attempting to get essences of air of the Dust Stormers and I haven't been successful. However, the one time I saw the Whirling Invaders around, I was able to get 5 in 3 hours.

Kommentar von Thottbot

14-5-05 Killed about 60 and looted 2 Essence of Air
15-5-05 Couldnt find any of them in 30 minutes
16-5-05 Couldnt find any of them in 15 minutes

Where are they now?

Kommentar von Thottbot

So does anyone actually know how long these invaders spawn for and how often they do ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Maybe blizzard upped the drop rate or i've been lucky, i just got 2 in 45 mins. gonna be here all day, haha.

Kommentar von Thottbot

the essence of air dropped 2x off the windreaver guy for me and 1 off one of his minions

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hi, mybe you guys will think im wrong, but as i know, a drop % means that you have a % to get a drop, example 1% means you have a 1% to get one drop after kill 100 monsters, it dont mean you WIll get 1 drop after killing 100. You can be lucky and get 3, 5 or 10 items that have 1% after killing 100, but you can also get 0 drops of 1% after killing 500. all is matter of luck. My luck sux lol (pally 60)

Kommentar von Thottbot

When is this invasion on?

Kommentar von Thottbot

1 drop in a hundred is the expectancy value for 1%. There is no guarantee you get one in a hundred. It basically means that if you did it a couple of thousand/million times, you'd get closer and closer to 1 out of a hundred, the larger the sample value (tries/kills) was.

luisomar85 is perfectly right. And for the record, I don't think one should be rude even when *right*...

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those who suck at chance calculation, the chance on not getting any after 100 kills if drop percentage is 1%:
(0.99^100)*100%=36,6%

so for a 3% average drop and 100 kills, the chance you dont get anything is:
(0,97^100)*100%=4,76%

Kommentar von Thottbot

Anyone know what damage they do... I tried natural resistance and mine is now 65 but they still hit with the same damage ratio. They are not physical by any mean cuz i'm using blessing of protection and they still hit me. What i'm trying to get is to resist thier attacks completely so i farm them with ease, so anybody know?

Kommentar von Thottbot

if you want to get Air Essences by the way, u have to be extremely patient. I've been farming for like 4 hours now and i got 2. Its worth some effort if you want your essences :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Are these mob's deleted after 1.7 patch?

Becouse i havent seen those since 1.7

Kommentar von Thottbot

They're still here. My friend, a rogue, farmed one hour while the Windlord was up and got 5 essences. Lucky bastard.

So anyone know the exact timer the Windreaver is on? 'Every couple of days' isn't very helpful.

Kommentar von Thottbot

there was a windreaver invasion in Silithus on Darksorrow today... Killed like 30 of em and got bored, no essence drops.. They don't spawn on a regular basis, so "every couple of days" will have to do.

If u kill the Windreaver boss they all disapear, so I would suggest keeping ur mouth shut if u wanna farm essence :P lol, well anyway, give up farmin essence unless u need it, it just aint worth it, they never drop any good items anyway.

Good luck to all you bastard farmers anyway ^^ and what's up with these chineese guys? Are they like gold farmers who sell on e-bay?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got 4 essence of air is less than 1h, i was lucky, my friend got only 1. But he gave it to me, i sent him my 4 air and 5 water and he made me some stormshroud pants and chest.

FTW

Kommentar von Thottbot

today just a bunch of them showded up and then disapeard.....they wasnt here before, i was girnding in silithus in the left corner for 1 hour...they just showed up and fropped a lot of essence of air

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well i gave up.. started farming fire elementals in Un`Goro Crater.. try that much more money

Kommentar von Thottbot

Im Killing these guys right now its patch 1.11 atm. good drop %

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you dont care about the essences these invasion bosses can easily be soloed, atleast as a hunter, i go and kill them as fast as they spawn. usualy drops a blue boe, often recipe for elemental leatherworker, allso drops ace of elementals

Kommentar von Thottbot

The drop rate is defineatly better then Thottbott states. was farming them for my +15 agil to weapon and dropped 3 in 40 minutes. Very easy gold and mats on my server!

Kommentar von Thottbot

So where is this so called "gate" everyone keeps talking about? i cant find it and dust stormer drop rate absolutely SUCKS!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Oh and all of u ppl that say they dont drop anything good, go die lol cuz i just started killing them this morning and got my first epic ever after killing like 15 of them sweetest mid 50s pally shoulders i ever seen

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lol. I was in silithus for about 2 hours farming cores of earth but i only got about 3. so when i waited for about 10 minutes for the rumblers to respawn i left and killed some dust stormers and got 2 essence of airs in the first 2 kills :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've been farming that area as a 60+ mage for a couple weeks now, its great. Only once have I seen these grey Invaders, and man, they dropped 3 in about 5 minutes, and never respawned. Do they only appear at certain server times, or does a quest activate them or what? Whirling Invaders = fast ca$h

Kommentar von Thottbot

just to say breath of wind got a lot lower droprate than essence of air farmed at lvl 70 for phantom blade for friends of mine and i got only 6 BoW and about 25 essence of air so i would say boW has a droprate under 2%

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ya the drop rates on the essences is so easy now after BC im a 70 rogue and i got about 20 in 30 mins and 2 breaths of wind and like 10 elemental airs

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lol alright, I'm a 60 warrior pure furry spec and use daggers. I avoided the normal elementals that are usually their because they do more damage than when the guys whirling invaders. I managed to get 10 WoB in about an hour in a half just going straight to attacking those guys. Gotta watch out for the elite pat though. Tends to get you. Their only their when the event happens.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found the elementals at 22,30 in the north western part of silithus!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Okay, so the "invade" Silithus. Where else do they spawn, and when? Is it like, "Tuesdays are Un'goro, Wednesdays are Silithus?"

I farmed the poo out of them for BoW's and did rather well compared to the Dust Stormers, which are just anoying with the Lightning Cloud spell. But now there are no more, and I miss them so :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well I was farming BoW, in about an hour i only got 1 of it, that sucks because i need 8 for my elemental pants, anyway i was happy because Im selling about 31 essece of air in AH now, but i still need the BoW. I did this yesterday without invasion

Kommentar von Thottbot

I farmed these guys yesterday with a 53 mage friend ( I'm a 54 druid ) and we got 3 essences in about 10 minutes. I am guessing that we got lucky based on the previous posts but they seem like a good way to make some quick money.

Pwner
54 druid
Vek'nilash

Kommentar von Thottbot

The drop rate for all items drops considerably once the Windreaver is killed. These guys were dropping EA and BoW and greens like crazy. Once we killed WR, most dropped nothing.

Kommentar von Thottbot

the best place for these is all the way along the western border, they are in the highest numbers in that area. Frequent drops of essences and breath of winds

Kommentar von Thottbot

they spawned again on april 12 2008

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found them on June12, 2008. farmed for an hour got 20 EoA's.
Didn't kill Windreaver

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My server Shattered Hand is loaded with level 60 players. Essence of Air is needed for so many skills, and is so rare to find that makes the whole thing so pointless.

It doesnt even worth to make items that require essence of air as u can sell it itelself for more money rather than the item =/

I farm the elementals and got no essence, so am gonna go for those guys and c if am lucky at all =/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Was farming the Dust Stormers for 2 hours, killed 100 of them (I'm a druid.. we kill slow) and had 2 Essence of Air drop. About right for the droprate. The invasion began and a guildy and I farmed these whirling invaders for a while, killed over 300 of them and had the following drops:
16 Elemental Air
12 Breath of Wind
1 Green mail leggings
0 Essence of Air.

So either there was a silent nerf in droprate or I am extremely unlucky. At a 6% drop rate on average around 17 of them should have dropped. We even went to the extreme of hearthing out, dropping group, logging and reforming the group after 200 or so kills just to make sure we weren't bugged somehow. I do realize that the 6% is reset with every kill exactly like if you were flipping a coin, but the odds against this happening are pretty severe.

Will try later and see if my luck has changed.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For some unkown reason I decided to farm the elementals in Silithus. When I got there I saw the even was up and decided to take out some Whirling Invaders. The 3rd one I killed Axe of the Deep Woods dropped!

Weird thing is, I have been eyeing this at the AH for a long time and now I got one for free!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Farmed these guys for a couple hours with my 70 Warrior and here were my drops:

9 Breath of Winds - 5G/ea (45G)
22 Essence of Air - 1G/ea (22G)
2 Elemental Air 50S/ea (1G)
29 Core of Elements - 20S/ea (6G)
Plus some other junk

I'm quoting my server prices. About 75G in 2-3 hours of farming. Not bad. Killed a rare spawn too.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

With new patch 1.9, I can't find anymore WHIRLING INVADER ! :(

p.s. anybody saw this elementals ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Dust Stormers are in where they should be.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This one drops also Eye of flame. I got it when i killed the 16th of it. Ofatalityo Shadow moon. Alliance

Edited, Sun Mar 26 13:20:35 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Farmed for the Essences for a few hours yesterday, killed ~ 130 Dust stormers, got 6 Essences. Later on the invaders spawned, and got 2 more from them in ~50 kills.

Then some idiots came in and killed the Windreaver ~~ Called it a night then.

8 Essences of air, bunch of breaths and 11 elemental airs, a green pair of bracers, and a green staff, in about 2.5 hours.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone know if there's any significance to these? I guess they are the elemental invasions blizzard talks about (I only see packs of them once ever couple weeks so far), but besides the slightly better drop rate on essence (5% vs. 3.5% about), I'm not seeing anything happen. They don't even give hydraxian waterlords rep.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Does anybody know the spawn schedule for the Whirling Invaders?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I killed 400 of them last night... apart from getting me almost all the way from 58 to 59 I also got:

Essence of Air x 17
Breath of Wind x 19
Elemental Air x 21
1 Blue (Doombringer)
10 Greens

The annoying thing is... I got 3 Essence of Air with my first 3 kills! And then only 14 more with my next 397 kills. It was enough to keep me addicted to killing them, anyway :P

Edit: within 24 hours the essences and breaths had sold for 412g. Not too bad.

Edited, Wed Sep 14 01:41:27 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

if you are farming the elementals for reputation with the hydroxian water lords, These guys do not raise the rep meter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

cant find them either. think they gone since 1.6 then?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Dropped this Epic thing today Juwelenbesetztes Amulett von Cainwyn (14 may 2005 - Al'Akir) only killed 18 of them :P

Edited, Sat May 14 08:42:10 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

They only spawn with The Windreaver, and disappear again once he dies only to reappear when he does. I had a few people yell at me about it today when my guild killed the Windreaver on Al'Akir :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I don't see these guys.. I was farming them for like a week but they are gone now.. what gives?

Kommentar von zazomazzo

Is this bugged in Classic?
I killed them for like 40 minutes and they dropped nothing. And I mean it.
No loot at all. No money, no trash, no essences, no elemental air, simply put: nothing!

Kommentar von propyro

4% for Core of Elements and 5% for Essence of Air drop rate doesn't seem accurate at all. It almost feels more like the cores have closer to a 20% drop rate, at least based on the stack of cores I end up with before I see a single Essence.
