Farming Primal Fires in the Elemental Plateau

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:02:26 +0000

Being a fire-speccd, spellfire tailor, I’ve done my share of farming for motes of fire. So I decided to find out for myself exactly which creatures drop the most motes. I installed the MobHealth add-on to keep track for me.

As with most level 70 farmers, I headed to the Elemental Plateau in Nagrand to kill the Raging Fire-Souls. One thing I had never really noticed in my early farming days is that there are level 70 and level 71 creatures. Someone told me that the level 71’s drop more motes than the level 70’s, so I decided to find out for myself.

Let’s look at the level 71 kills… First, I measured it after 100 kills of just the level 71’s

71 Raging Fire-Soul
100 Kills
Loots 82
Health 9328
Damage 54-378

Elemental Fragment – 65 (80%)
Mote of Fire 37 (46%)
Primordial Essence 17 ((21%)
Stone Reaper 1 (2%)
Oshu’Gun Crystal Powder Sample 11 (14%)
Corroded Mail Pants 1 (2%)
Warpdagger of Intellect 1 (25)
Dilapidated Cloth Belt 1 (25)

I’m not sure why 100 kills = 82 loots, as I don’t recall a mob never dropping anything. Could be a mod error… So I decided to kill until I had over 100 loots to see if the percentages changed much…

71 Raging Fire-Soul
130 Kills
Loots 104
Health 9335
Damage 54-378

Elemental Fragment – 85 (82%)
Mote of Fire 48 (47%)
Primordial Essence 19 (19%)
Stone Reaper 1 (1%)
Oshu’Gun Crystal Powder Sample 12 (12%)
Corroded Mail Pants 1 (1%)
Warpdagger of Intellect 1 (1%)
Dilapidated Cloth Belt 1 (1%)
Deteriorating Plate Chestpiece 1 (1%)
Decaying Leather Gloves 1 (15)

So with the level 70’s, I was unable to find as many, but here are the stats I did collect:

70 Raging Fire-Soul
100 Kills
Loots 78
Health 9082
Damage 8-371

Elemental Fragment – 67 (86%)
Mote of Fire 38 (49%)
Primordial Essence 11 (15%)
Oshu’gun Crystal Powder Sample 17 (22%)
Tarnished Claymore 1 (25)
Essence of Fire 1 (2%)
Thunder Spike of Stamina 1 (25)

So I can conclude from this small sample that the level 71’s do not drop the motes more often than the level 70’s.

If we combine all of the numbers together, we’ll find 182 loots for an average drop rate of 47.25% from the Raging Fire-Souls in the Elemental Plateau.

That’s pretty good if you can find the Plateau somewhat empty. On the days you have several farmers already working the area, it becomes less and less worth the effort.

For my next section, I will head over to Skald to find out the drop rate of those lower fire elementals.

Clamlette Surprise (45) - Training Cooking Over 225

Bring 20 Alterac Swiss, 10 Zesty Clam Meat, and 12 Giant Eggs to Dirge Quickcleave in Gadgetzan.

If your cooking is not 225, you cannot acquire this quest.

How to get the Mallet of Zul’Farrak

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:23:12 +0000

This is not a quest, but an item dropped/created.

You must go to the Hinterlands. First go to the Altar of Zul and kill Qiaga the Keeper. This will drop the Sacred Mallet. You must then take that mallet to Jintha’Alor. It is a maze-like area, but all you have to do is keep going up anytime you see stairs. Eventually you will make it to the top. Head to the area shown in the maps below. You do NOT need to enter the cave. Merely right-click on the Sacred Mallet at the altar to create the Mallet of Zul’Farrak.
