Grinding Tips
Some Mote Farming Locations
So, thinking about farming primals? Here is a guide on where to find
them.
Primal fire - Prices : 15-100 gold on some servers, average price =
30-35 gold.
Be warned, all these fire elementals are immune to fire magic, sorry
mages!
Elemental plateau, Nagrand. - This area requires a flying mount to
reach, and is quite zerged at times, however, if you catch it at off
hours, it is GREAT for farming, search for the burnt trees in the
center of the plateau.
Skald, Blades Edge - This area doesn't require a flying mount to
reach, however it IS zerged by farmers at times, drop rate is ok,
great place to go if you do not have a flyer.
Forge camp north of ogri'la, Blades Edge - about 8 fire elementals
good repop timer, fairly nice drop rate however, forget it if you're
not the only one farming. Requires flying mount.
The Fel Pits - Shadowmoon Valley - This place is scarcely ever
farmed, low drop rate, but no one ever farms the mobs, not the best
farming spot, since you'll be dodging pats, and lava, but its ok.
Miners - you can farm these from fel iron deposits *and possibly
more* However, don't rely on this, as the drop rate has been a bit
nerfed.
Best place to farm - Not exactly sure.
Primal air. These sell for a good amount, *20-80 gold* *average
price 28 gold.* I think they are immune to nature damage, but have a
nice drop rate. here are some farming spots I know of now.
Netherwing fields/altar of shadow, SMV - Good place, the elementals
have low HPs, high drop rate, and high pop time. No flying mount
required
Elemental plateau - nice too, but too much competition. needs flying
mount
Nagrand - storm ragers, found all over the place, level 64-66,
fairly easy to kill and good drop rate it seems.
Nagrand - dust stormers, southern area - this is good too, no flying
mount required also
My opinion, best to farm in SMV/elemental plateau when there are no
other players.
Primal water. No immunities from the mobs I think price 15-50 gold
average 18gish
Skettis, the lake, water elementals in the lake. - fairly nice drop
rate, I got one good primal in about 10 minutes.
Lake NE of shatt, the mana eels - low level, no flying mount... EASY
to kill, but not the best drop rate, however high DPS classes can
kill them instantly pretty much, which means many motes for them.
Elemental plateau, - Bad drop rate, kind of crowded, and not many
mobs.
Nagrand, lake near garadar - Fairly nice drop rate, and low level.
FISHERMEN, good news for you fishermen out there, you can actually
fish these from pools of pure water, in elemental plateau, good way
to get them.
Nicest place, skettis in my opinion.
Primal Life., price, 1-15g, average, 10 gold. No immunities from
these mobs I think.
Herbalists, congratulations... you've struck jackpot, you can herb
pretty much all these mobs for additional motes.
Bog lords, Spawning Glen, Zangarmarsh - Nice drop rate, can be
herbed for 4-5 additional motes.
Skettis, Talonsworn forest rager - Herbalists, kill these level
70-72 elite mobs with a buddy and herb them, up to 4-5 good herbs,
and 4-5 motes.
Nicest place, skettis.
Underbog, the dead mire - The bog lords drop these and can be herbed
for more.
Primal shadow, not many resistances from the mobs, however one or
two mobs in these areas absorb magic, taking less 75% damage from
it.
Warp Fields, hellfire peninsula - Rogue VD and uncontrolled VD,
fairly nice drop rate.
Void Ridge HFP - Good place, collapsing VDs drop them,
Manaforge Ultris Nethersotmr - Level 70 mobs, easy to farm, but
magic absorbing mobs that become a bit more resistant to the magic
they absorb
.Ohsu'Gun, the voidwalkers around it. - Fairly nice, but spread out
all over the place.
Best place, - Void Ridge HFP/Manaforge Ultris.
Primal Earth. DIRT cheap... Not recomennded for farming, prices 50
silver to 15 gold. they mostly sell for 5 gold.
Miners you have a chance to get these while mining in outland, its a
nice bonus.
Enraged earth spirits, SMV - They are around the fire elementals in
the fel pits.
Sundered rumblers Netherstorm - these wander all around area 52,
pretty much the whole chunk of rock it is on.
Tortured earth spirit Nagrand- found north of kil sorrow fortress,
southeast of garadar.. all around that area.
Enraged crusher, Nagrand - north and south of halaa
Best mobs - Enraged earth spirits and Sundered Rumblers
Hope this guide helps!
