The place where most of these spawn is a great place for farming. Mote of Fire and valuable vendor items from the elementals, Mote of Shadow and Netherweave Cloth from the Demons, and meat that's cooked into +spell dmg food from the Basilisks.

Drop rate has been nerfed at some point. Certainly no longer 25%. I'd guess it's maybe 10% from my recent grinding there.

Commento di 34742

Killed 50 today (March 18) and didn't get a single mote. Dunno if it's bad luck but I gave up for the night.

Commento di Tukar

Personally, as a rogue, this is my favorite spot to farm for the motes. The drop rate is a bit lower than the 70 spawns in other areas, but the spawns are considerably much more weak, I can take out 3 or so at a time without much problem. I've been getting 1 primal maybe every 20 minutes.

The reason these show in places other than Skald in Blade's Edge Mountains is that they have a weird bug connected to them. Sometimes they will follow a character forever - they aggro like normal and reset like normal, but after a short while they start to follow the character again. I had one after me even after I hearthed.

In response to the comment above, I experienced this today also. I'm a rogue, and I vanished when I got some unexpected aggro in the form of 2 of these guys. Even after I stealthed they continued to follow me. They would get close enough to almost see through my stealth, and do the thing where they stop, look at me, and make a noise, and then after a few seconds they'd begin to follow me again. Couldn't get rid of them until I killed both of them. Very strange.

Drop definitely nerfed. Killed 30 and got 3 motes, consistent with Kycan's theory. Not worth farming here anymore. No wonder the price seems to have spiked on my server....

Drop rate seems to get lower and lower but on the good side https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=23631 dropped off one.

Commento di 40231

The above 2 replies are a bit false. I was there today, farmed for 2 hours and walked away with 7 Primal Fires. The drop rate seemed true with the 25%. I was able to get 7 primals even with someone else farming Skald as well.

Commento di 94258

I was just there farming (18th october -07) and the droprate is really good! I made 5 primal's in 1 hour at 70,20 (as holy with ~shadow gear). Absolutely the best farmingplace for Primal Fire, highly recommended!

Commento di 95917

I walked around in the hot spot area for these and i didnt even see anyone of these elementals! And there wasnt any ally/horde there.

Commento di 100706

I think that the overall droprate is close to 25% only if you go by a ratio of motes to elementals. I killed many but i did not see a drop every 4 more like every six or eight, but it dropped 2 motes quite often. The respawn rate on these seemed high but the imps were even faster when i was there. Overall not to bad to farm.

Commento di bigearlx

If you're melee, these guys are ridiculously hard for their level. 67 pally, with good gear, prot spec and fire resist aura. I had one come up to me when I was fighting an imp. Potion, LoH, and wound up having to bubble and run anyway with the damn thing still at half health and another one joining in. I don't know if they buffed these guys in a recent patch of what, but it's absolutely ridiculous.

Commento di 139584

what's better for farming...these or shimmerscale eel?

Commento di geoffster

These are commonly farmed for motes of fire, as you do not need a flying mount to get to them.

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=57964

though i've killed hundreds of these things, I've only seen this item drop once.

Commento di Thottbot

Even though the drop rate % says something like 25-30%, the drop rate is actually lower. The reason for this is because of times where it will drop multiple motes instead of 1. (i.e. it drops 2) That little extra mote adds more. (i.e. 2 motes of fire on a 1/8 drop rate makes it a 25% drop) Make any sense ?

Commento di Thottbot

I got the 18 healing recipe and chest of the dark reavers in one day from these guys

Commento di Thottbot

low pop pve servers win again
farmed these things for 4 hours straight, got a full stack of 20 primals and had no interference from any other people except 1 horde.
*jump on flying mount, fly over to him and take off*
he dies, i didnt have to pvp flag, simple solution.

Commento di Thottbot

This is a great place to farm for Motes of Fire. There are TONS of the elementals, and they don't do a whole ton of damage so you can keep it up for a while without drinking. Though it's normally a GOOD thing, I would say the only BAD part about this place is is the INSANE spawn rate. If you fight a couple at a time and sit down to drink/eat afterwards you might get jumped by a respawn and find yourself walking back to your corpse :p.

BTW: 15/31 so far (48%)

Commento di Thottbot

its not really 37% but its thrown off just a bit cuz about 1/2 of the time motes drop theres 2 of em and only 1 of em the other half of the time

Commento di Thottbot

This spot is excellent for farming, whether you need the primals to some end or for the gold they bring on the AH. Compared to farming Air or Fire elementals on the plateau in Nagrand, these guys are easier, denser, and almost as likely to drop motes as their bigger, lvl 69+ cousins in Nagrand.

the area they spawn in is compact,but with mountains shooting up out of the ground you can't always see from one end of the elemental patch to the next. This and the faster respawns makes it possible to share the farming spot with someone else and still be kept busy.

the main drawback is that the elementals share the spot with fireball casting imps, and while I don't think they share spawns (i.e the area will never fill up with imps if you selectively kill around them) you'll have to kill a few anyway.

I could do about 7 primals an hour here if I were alone, I think. about as good as the Kirin Tor village in Netherstorm, but not as large as that spot. Primal Fire is usually the most or 2nd most expensive primal and so might be worth it. this spot just disolves into pvp if too many opposing faction turn up tho.

Commento di Thottbot

I went to go on the ridge explained in the prior post but unfortunatly someone called it already. So just south across the pools there was an opening that for the hour I was there I never had to fight an imp. The elementals would spawn about 20-30 yrds away from me making it easy to pull them to my central location. Every so often though I would get overwhelmed when 3 would spawn one after the other but still not bad to take care of on your own. I got about 40 motes in 1 hour at this spot.

Commento di Thottbot

Ive Been Farming Primal Fires For A While, and This is the best spot Ive Found So Far.

I Have an Addon that Tells me loot of the Mobs that I have collected:

Mote of Fire: 330/646 (52%)

Somtimes It Was As High as 70% and Other times as low as 35% but It all averages to 1 Every other Kill or 2 Motes Every 4 Kills

Commento di Thottbot

Today i try farming this elementals. So lvl 67 - 15% and lvl 68 - 20%. Drop to me only 1 mote. So i think its not so good. I try find better place

Commento di Thottbot

i was there for 20 minutes without getting one mote, then all of a sudden, when i was about to quit, they started dropping a ton. i got 4 primals in an hour, including that 20 minutes without any drop, and there were a ton of people there.

Trust me, a great spot.

IF YOU WANT TO FARM PRIMAL FIRE, GO HERE!

Commento di Thottbot

&*!@ this place for motes of fire. I speant 1 hour and got 3 motes. I guess its all completely random, some dayss your lucky some you are not.

Commento di Thottbot

After 10,000 kills of these things, I believe I have a right to speak here.

A) As the months go on, Blizzard makes lots of changes. When BC was just released, this was the California Gold Rush of 1849 except in WoW. Now, expect the rate to be 20%.
B) In that 20%, you may get 1 or 2.
C) Play this area for three hours or so. You will notice there is one particular route to reach every Searing Elemental without ever aggroing another monster! This is coming from someone who refuses to use a flying mount!
D) You never have to buy a flying mount to reach the best place to earn gold.
E) As a warlock, you can do Siphon Life, Curse of Agony, and Corruption and TAB to the next mop. The previous mop will die, given that you have circa ~800 or more Shadow damage.
F) As a warlock, careful - competition like hunters or mages are wary that your DoTs take at least 3 seconds to trigger. That is enough time for them to "steal" your mop. Make sure to Drain Life for at least 1 second THEN DoT up if your competitors are near.
G) At the end of the day, have fun. It's just a video game.

Commento di Thottbot

just droped scales of the beast 3rd blur dropin an 7 hour period of farming also frod staff of divine infusion and girdle of the gale force

Commento di Thottbot

Farmed for 35 minutes and got 33 motes of fire from the 67 elementals i killed. 33/67= 49%. Also got 3 greens, an essence of fire and about 20 netherweave from the imps.

I do reccomend this place, unless you are on my server.

Commento di Thottbot

If you want to farm at least 4 primals/hour on average, Skald in BeM is the best choice. And you're hearing this from a fire mage with no points in frost at all.

Your goal is to pull a group of 3-4. There are only a couple areas that you can do this. NOTE: This is best on a level 70.

If you see a group of 3-4 within reasonable range of each other without many basilisks/scorch imps nearby, here's what you do:

1. Head on your flying mount to one of the tiny hills that are everywhere. Make sure you've got dampen magic, mage armor, and arcane intellect on.

2. Some people like to put on fire ward here, but I wait for later. Now, use ice lance to pull all the elementals.

3. Once the elementals are in the same area frost nova them, and back away a few steps. Here's where I put on fire ward so that when frost nova breaks, their attacks will be absorbed and they won't interrupt the end of blizzard.

4. You guessed it- use blizzard until they charge at you.

5. Cone of cold.

6. Run around in circles using arcane explosion. One of my early mistakes was to run around backwards. This doesn't work, because it decreases your speed and the elementals can catch up to you. Wasn't decreasing their speed the whole point of cone of cold?

In a perfect world, that will happen. Sometimes, there’s only one that you can pull at a time. If so:

1. Get near, with arcane intellect, dampen magic, and mage armor.

2. Pull with a frostbolt, then arcane missiles.

3. When the mob gets to you, frost nova it, and ice lance it until the nova breaks. This is because ice lance’s damage is 3x when a mob is frozen.

Here was my loot ‘graph’ on motes of fire for 1 hour:

First 15 minutes: 0-1-0-0-0-0-1-2-0-1-0-2-0-0-0-2
15-30: 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-1-1-0-0-0-1-0-0
30-45: 0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-0-2-0
45-60: 0-1-0-0-0-0-2-0-1-1-0-0-0-2-1-2-0-0-0

You’re probably thinking, “But wait, Joey, that’s only 2 primals and 8 motes! Not 4 primals like you promised!” about now.

My answer is that I was very disadvantaged in this experiment. Consider the following:

(1) This was my first time trying this. I’d watched videos on youtube before of this method, but never tried it. This means less kills and more potions used. Notice how I was still learning- the first 15 minutes, I had 16 kills, the next 30 minutes, 17 kills per every 15 minutes, and the last 15 minutes, 19 kills.

(2) I was keeping a ‘loot graph’. This means more time writing and less time killing.

(3) I was specced POM-pyro with no points in frost. Speaks for itself.

(4) I had competition. In my realm, this place is usually deserted, but in this experiment I had 1 (and 2 later on) players of the opposite faction competing with me. And they were both level 70, which is important because…

(5) MOST IMPORTANTLY: I was not yet level 70, but 69 in this experiment. It might not seem like a lot, but here’s three good reasons it slowed me down:

(a) Obviously, I didn’t have any of my level 70 training (I actually didn’t have 69 training at the time).
(b) I didn’t have my level 70 gear.
(c) I didn’t have a flying mount. This meant that my competition could get around faster than I could, and could see the locations of the mobs from above. Not only did this slow me down, but also it sped my competition up.

So at level 70, you should do better than me.

Overall, this place had a 40.6% (28/69) droprate for me.

If you go on youtube and search “primal fire farming”, you will get many videos showing this method.

Good luck, and happy farming!

When I got to Skald I was worried there were alot of other people farming motes of fire. But my worries were soon dispeled when I noticed how fast the respawn rate was...the Searing Elementals were respawning before the corpses were even gone. Eventually I was the only one there and ended up with about 15 primal fires after about 2 hours. This is a much better spot in my opinion that The Fel Pits which is horribly horribly farmed. I say check out Skald its worth it, and for tailors those little imps drop netherweave.

Commento di Thottbot

Anny quests At this PlacE?

Commento di Thottbot

percentages are percentages and it will average out. However out of every place i've ever farmed this definately has the greatest gap in numbers of motes farmed on seperate days...its crazy, u win some u lose some T_T

Commento di Allakhazam

It is a world mob or is it in a indstand ?

Commento di Allakhazam

These things see through stealth. They don't have the eye symbol over their head, but they will chase you down from 30-40yds away at times. It may be a bug. But, regardless, stealth isn't going to help you as much as you'd like with these things.

Commento di Allakhazam

these things have really good chance to drop mote of fire so who cares for your stealth?

Commento di Allakhazam

the mob is a world mob or in a indstand?

Commento di Allakhazam

4 of these mobs just chased me ALL THE WAY BACK TO EVERGROVE, without dropping aggro. Blizzard better fix these, it's annoying as hell.
