As of 1-26-07 Lagoon Eels no longer drop Motes of Mana, they now drop Motes of Water.

'Tis a pity.

Commentaire de Rylon

have any one even found one of these gas clouds yet? i have been farming life and shadow gas clouds but i have never even seen one of the mana clouds

As of Jan 29, 2006 - The Shimmerscale Eels are no longer dropping Mote of Mana, and are now dropping Mote of Water instead.

Mana Wraiths near Area 52 have a pretty good drop rate compared to anything else I've farmed.

These tend to drop motes of mana pretty well. i was farming for about an hour and i got 3 primals (30motes) and another 5 motes. the only thing i suggest doing to save time is try to avoid the other earth elemental things that are around them. this can easily be done if u are lvl 70 and have ur flying mount.

Best mobs to farm these (and spot) is

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=18866
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=18867

The trick is to kill them fast (under 10sec seems to be about right). If you don't the mageslayers will use spellreflect and the mana seeker will use mana burn.

If you kill them fast enough as a caster they wont do anything! (they have about 5200hp each)

One hour = 70-100 motes for me (i need 6-10sec for one mob 0/21/40 wl)

Commentaire de 18690

I've been farming mana wraiths as a 66 destro lock with my felhunter as a pet. You can usually nuke him down to about 30% or so before he does his mana burn ability but a well timed silence/counterspell will do the trick on these guys.

Their drop rates on these motes is really streaky. I'll go 20 minutes w/o seeing one and then the next 20 getting 16 motes. But keep at it, these are very easy to kill.

I'll lvl up a bit more and start hitting the mageslayers next.

Commentaire de Nietchze

Wish I woulda read this earlier. Spent the last 45 min farming eels and got 11 Mote of Water & no Mana. . . reading ftw! :(

Commentaire de 24102

35.58 in Netherstorm is a good place to grind these things.

Commentaire de 24057

55, 89 is probably the best place to farm, insanely fast respawn, caster mobs, die very fast.

Commentaire de 28655

I farmed void monstrosity in netherstorm for 3 hours ended up with 80 motes very good drop rate and consistent. There weren't many people grinding this area either ,but the mobs are plentiful and spread out over a large area and 2 people could work this area and not have any real downtime. I also got some greens and a blue and a singing crystal axe :) which sold for a nice chuck of G's.

Commentaire de freakish87

Warp Monstrosities on the edge of the land West of Stormspire tend to drop mote of mana at a fairly good rate. The only snag is that the mobs are quite densely packed in with some earth elemental types called Sundered Thunderers, have to keep double checking behind me, and kiting the warps around to avoid aggroing 2 mobs at once :)

Commentaire de aasartor

If you're a skinner who needs Motes of Mana, a good mob to farm is the "Phase Hunter" in Netherstorm. They are skinnable and drop Mote of Mana at a reasonable rate.

Commentaire de 38680

I made a quick outline of where all the best places to farm motes are. Very useful if, like me, you are farming many of them for a recipe of some sort.

Layout:
(Zone) NPC name - Coordinates - % drop rate - link to page at Wohead

Mote of Air:
(Nagrand) Storming Wind-Ripper - 69.21 (Throne of Elements) - 33.9% - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=22310

Mote of Fire:
(Nagrand) Raging Fire-Soul - 69.21 (Throne of Elements) - 34.1 - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=22311

Mote of Water:
(Terokkar Forest) Crashing Wave-Spirit - 63.17 (North-Western Throne of Elements) - 33.7 - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=22309

Mote of Earth:
(Blade's Edge Mountains) Sundered Rumbler - (Basically above and all below Area 52) - 18.8 - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=18881

Mote of Mana:
(Netherstorm) Mana Wraith - 36.60 and 31.73 (Anywhere above Area 52 and more below. While you're at it, kill the Nether Rays as well, they have just as good of a chance to drop and are mostly in the same area) - 25.8 - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=18864

Mote of Life:
(Zangarmarsh) I didn't find any specific place to farm for these because the zone is just rich with them. But I would suggest farming the Bogg/ Starving Bogg Lords and Fungal /Starving Fungal Giants because they are all very close. - The Spawning Glen (SW Zangarmarsh) and East of there is the Quagg Ridge - Very similar drop rates on all 4 mobs that I pointed out, 18.2 to 18.8 - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=22575#00Rmz

Mote of Shadow:
By far the most commonly found mote. This is dropped in almost every zone and can be easily farmed anywhere. But there may be a few exceptional areas just because npcs that drop them are close together, non-elite, and easy to kill. Here's one spot in a few that are exceptional:
(Nagrand) Voidspawn - Again, no specific coords, but all around Oshu'Gun, the bigass crystal SW Nagrand. - 18.4 - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=17981

As an arms warrior the mageslayers were piece of cake, really good spawning time, a lot of mobs on the same place, paradise for a warrior.

Commentaire de 37108

I've found the Mana Snappers to be best for speed and abundance

Commentaire de 68347

Since Motes have a use function, you can drag them to your Action Bar to easily track how many you got while farming.

Commentaire de 20417

by FAR the easiest place to get these is in Wizard Row in Kirin'Var Village, SouthEast Netherstorm. Kill Mana Seekers and MageSlayers. I got 3 Primals in 20 minutes... WHY, oh, why, can't fires be this easy to get? Blizzard needs to make some changes, considering how NECESSARY Primal Fires are in just about everything...

Commentaire de Jolie

As a mage i found the best place to farm Motes of Mana was from the Phase Hunters, just outside Eco-Dome Midrealm.
They're well spaced out and not immune to any spells.
Good respawn rate too.

Commentaire de bluediemond

warp chasers do not drop mote of mana

Commentaire de Zemthion

Thanks for the hints guys ifound that the mana seekers and mageslayers drop the motes of mana most often thanks.

Commentaire de 33630

I found that farming them at the south-east corner of shadowmoon valley has very good drop rates. The mobs there do minimal damage, and it is really rare to find another grinder. You need a flying mount to reach the summit though.

Commentaire de 101058_

I've always stuck with this guy:

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=18879

The sheer volume, respawn rate, and ability to skin them makes them great. And they're stupidly easy to kill. But I think they hate casters.They have a mana burn or something. I usually farm them on my feral druid for my lock.

Quite frankly they're so easy to farm that I don't understand why primal mana is so expensive. Just laziness?

Commentaire de 110307

The warp monstrosities - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=20516 - in northwestern Netherstorm are very good to farm for motes of mana. I just got 30 in less than an hour. The plus to these is they're not as popular as the other spots in Netherstorm. They also have a very good droprate. I went to farm two other spots in Netherstorm and it was a little crowded and then came to the monstrosities and was the only one there.

The only setback to the warp monstrosities is that they are a little densely packed and there are just as many rock elementals in the same spot as they are. However, if you are smart about it you won't have to fret. I only aggroed a rock elemental once, and I got a mote of earth out of it!

Commentaire de 102766

you can buy these motes from an NPC from stormspire in Netherstorm.... all motes are there.........

Commentaire de 117034

Phase wyrm's are great for farming these. Fast respawn rate, very low competition, and no other mobs while "out of phase". I get usually 5 motes just while doing my daily (avoiding the wyrms as much as possible).

Commentaire de poobah

Best spot to farm is in Netherstrom, near Area 52 if u kill mana bonars and wrenchcokes u will pwn with umbar str.

Commentaire de 145774

wtb primal mana :P

Commentaire de 220966

After grinding Mana Seekers and Magekillers for 60 min as a feral druid i did end up whit 192 kills and 85 mote of mana.

Commentaire de 227087

I farmed 40 of them in Netherstorm in an hour. The drop rate seems to fluctuate; sometimes I got 10 motes in a row, sometimes I went through 10 mobs without getting any.

Commentaire de AlienFanatic

Another fantastic spot to farm thes is from the Phase Wyrms (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=24917) in Blade's Edge mountains. To see them, you have to go to Bash'ir landing and become phased. It's part of the Shattered Sun Offensive quest called Maintaining the Sunwell Portal (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=11514).

While phased, you have a vast number of them and they drop both motes and apexis shards. No mana burn or nasty effects. The only stipulation is that you must be at least level 70.

Good Luck!

Commentaire de 457526

At 33, 77 in netherstorm i farmed 40 motes of mana off of Warp Aberations...it was awesome!

Commentaire de 505528

I found Motes of Mana off of Warp Monstrosities and Motes of Earth off Sundered Thunderers, mobs are together all over Netherstorm.

Commentaire de insaneblade

i find the mana wraths outside the hold to drop them Every 2-3Kills in an hour i farmed 11 primals not to bad as theres alot

Commentaire de xxxstonie

Carefull !
You can turn 10 (9) Motes of Mana into 1 Primal Mana.
BUT You CANNOT Turn 1 Primal Mana into 10(9) Motes of Mana !

Commentaire de TheHandOfSeth

Absolutely cold not agree enough about the Mana Wraiths. They spawn quickly, are very easy to kill, and are arranged quite nicely for ranged farming. If you're an enhancement shaman (my personal choice), these are easily farmed by using Maelstrom'd lightning bolts to pull and then you can tear them to pieces in seconds in melee. It's great to setup your totems in a central location and pull 3-5 of them in quick succession. In this fashion, I easily farmed four primals worth in under twenty minutes.

Commentaire de 829815

Another vote for the Mana Wraiths for farming Mote of Mana.

I needed a Primal Mana (for an affordable Primal Might...), and went farming in Netherstorm after reading the comments about the drop from Mana Wraiths. I was not disappointed...

I found a whole "herd" of them between Ruins of Enkaat and Eco-Dome Midrealm, and just went crazy with my lvl 74 prot-pally. After all the mayhem, I found myself with:

36 Motes of Mana, and 2 greens, farmed from 50 Wraiths. Technically a a 72% drop rate, however many Wraiths drop 2 motes so this is probably a little off. Still, very nice for about 20 minutes of farming!

I also tried my luck with the local Phase Hunters, but after killing 15 I only found 1 Mote of Mana. They may be skinnable, but I still stick with the Mana Wraiths for some quick results.

Commentaire de Crosshairs

As of 8/7/2011 wizards terrace no longer has mana wraiths. However the Crumbling Wastes, and Ruins of Enkhat have plenty along with phase hunters and nether rays. 4 primal mana worth in about 40 mins. drop rates are consistent with WOWHead. North and Northwest of Area 52 for your mote of mana needs.

Commentaire de erikvduyn

If you have the option, pay Karazhan a visit. More specifically, the area where you fight The Curator. When I solo'd Karazhan, after fighting The Curator and all the trash in his room, I had 5 Primal Mana sitting comfortably in my bags.

Commentaire de Kiliya

In Shatt, Exarch Nasuun gives the quest "Maintaining the Sunwell Portal" where you have to get a phase device out in Blades Edge Mtns. While phased, the creatures drop a good bit. Even some while out of phase. I found this to be a nice, easy alternative. The quest is a daily for the Shattered Sun Offensive. (70+)

Commentaire de Rforn

Aether Ray in blades edge seem to have a decent drop rate

Commentaire de wowkardy

Im killing Mana Wraiths arround ruins of Enkaat , there are many of them there so its easy =)

Commentaire de DELcastis

One run solo through Karazhan netted me 11 primal mana's in around an hour and a half. You get them mostly from the mana wyrms halfway through the raid.

Commentaire de Fhoulan

If you're an engineer, using the mote extractor on gas clouds (Arcane Vortex) in Netherstorm can yield a good amount of primals, as long as you have a 280+ flyer. It took me about a half hour to make one full circuit of the zone, and at the end I had just over five primals. Each "land mass" in the zone had two clouds at a time on average. There are no clouds on the small nw island, none around tempest keep, and (as one might expect) none will be located in the eco domes. I only have a 280 flyer on my engineer, but with the amount I collected in the time I was there, you should be able to get about 10/hour using this method (unless the clouds take longer to respawn.

Side note - aside from the clouds appearing on the minimap, you will know when one is in the area because the nearby mobs will have a "twinkling" effect on them (similar to characters affected by shaman totems).

Commentaire de Barleduq

I know that a miner can turn Primal Earth and Primal Fire into motes of earth and fire, respectively. Is there any way to turn Primal Mana into Motes of Mana? Trying to consolidate my bag/bank space, but don't want to lose mats...

Thanks

Commentaire de dillybar

Honestly, for hunters, the Aether Ray's in the Ogri'La area of Vortex Summit (29,65) are the best bet. Hunters can hit the ones flying further overhead and using Track Beasts can show you exactly where they are at all times, because they are not aggro and appear as yellow dots. I farmed out 80 of these (for 8 Primal Mana) and it was much faster than anywhere else.

Commentaire de 962691

if you need these, just take an 85 into Kharazan. A decent ways in (including and just before the Guardian's Library) there are heaps.

whats with those two shady dealers? do they sell these or something cause 16s is better than 2g

just don't see it anywhere on here but i have also gotten these outta mining fel iron

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Take the quest "A Fate Worse Than Death" when grinding the Mageslayers and Mana Seeekers. The quest is kill 10 of each, which you'll do in spades while grinding for motes.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Mana Seekers and Mageslayers in Netherstorm are great for these. Fast drop rate, fast spawn rate. I farmed 30 motes in about 15 minutes or so. Not only do these sell high, they are used in some great recipes.

Edited, Jan 29th 2007 2:35am by PinbackOwns

Commentaire de Allakhazam

It all comes down to how many you kills in an hour you have. If you start tracking the kills per drop you will all see that the drop rate is 14% in Blades edge just like the top tells us. It takes me (resto Druid) 3 times the amount of hours to get the same drops as a Hunter because I kill less mobs per hour than the hunter does.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Phase Hunters are very good for farming, particularly if you are not geared up for the tougher mobs. Phase Hunters are located in less traveled areas to avoid ganks, they are easy to kill, respawn fast, and have a good drop rate. Other mobs show higher drop rates, but they are harder to kill so your motes/hour will not be as good. Phase Hunters FTW!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I have also heard that the drop rate of the motes varies with the time of day... So if you find a good time, don't forget when it was.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Blue Whirlwind guys all over Netherstorm are pretty decent drop rate. 2-4 motes every 6-10 kills.

Cry

Commentaire de Thottbot

In addition u can kill the phase hunters with the nether rays to get some decent drop rates

Commentaire de Thottbot

These dropped like crazy for me...like every other drop or every third, I'd get 1 or 2 motes at a time. I farmed for about an hour in Netherstorm and got 4 primals. I got them off pretty much everything that hangs out close to the edge of the area, north of Area 52: Mana Snappers, Phase Hunters and Nether Rays.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Nuke, DoT, Shield, and then wand them down. As soon as they start casting their mana drain, hit Fear.

If you have decent +dmg gear, then they should be about dead before they can cast mana drain again.

Commentaire de Thottbot

you can farm them in Netherstorm on coord 49-49

Commentaire de Thottbot

I farmed the Mana Wraiths in Netherstrom above (north of) Area 52, got 22 motes in about 30 mins.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I've killed about 100 of these and had a 40% drop rate. As a shaman Immune to their devour mana:
"Mana Wraith's Devour Mana fails. Grounding Totem is immune." So the Grounding Totem never gets destroyed (except when it runs out of time) FTW. I did do some nether rays, save the earth shock when they drain mana, doesn't go to the grounding totem.

For everyone complaining, i've had good and bad days. I once killed 125 Air guys and only had 2 motes drop, 2. On the other hand, i killed 85 and had 66 drop. Just gotta keep at it. At least it's motes now and not whole essences. Before you could go farming for a short session and not get one essence. Now at least you can get 2-5 motes, and feel like you accomplished something.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Grounding totem costs 129 mana (for me atleast)
Earth Shock (Rank 1) costs 30 mana

That means I can do 4 Earth Shocks and save mana. The mobs does about 1 mana burn each fight, sometimes none at all.

The grounding totem lasts 45 seconds, in perfect condition I can kill possible 4 mobs in that time, most of the time 3 with running and killing, or even less.

If I kill 3 mobs its 90 mana vs 129 mana
If I manage to kill 4 mobs in 45 seconds, its 120 mana vs 129 mana

I might not save THAT much mana on it, but atleast Im not stuck to standing around on one place.

I know this is very general, and not thinking about all things that can happen... but I think ES rank 1 is more effective then Grounding Totem

Commentaire de Thottbot

The Mana Wraiths just outside of Area 52 drop them pretty frequently. I got 1-2 motes about every 5 kills. But then again, some days motes drop like crazy, and others they just don't drop at all.

But this was the best place I could find so far. Other enemies such as the Phase Hunters and Nether Rays drop motes of mana as well.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Exaggeration makes this tough.

'I can get 9 primals an hour'

That's a mote every 45 seconds, for an hour straight.

C'mon-- the drop rate isn't that high.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I used a wizard oil that lasts for 30 minutes and farmed the Mana Wraiths north of Area 52 until it ran out.

I came away with 31 motes, which I think is fantastic. This includes all the time I spent having mana breaks etc (and I had a fair few as the darn things tend to eat my mana), but I was lucky that I didn't see another soul there the whole time.

They tend to drop two or none...

Kianna - 70 Holy Priest - Defias Brotherhood.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I dont know if blizz nerfed the drop rate, but farming these really sucks. Im getting about the same; 1-1.5 primals per hour, maybe 2 primals per hour if Im lucky. And I only need 8 more primals to craft fireguard......... blah.

70 prot warr

Commentaire de Thottbot

hm... i farmed these after lvl 68 with my rogue , to keep my quests for money weeks ago.

now i returned to farm a bit more, and it seems to me the drop rate was greatly nerfed :( i could farm 4-5 primals / hr with *!@#ty gear, now i got 3 motes in 15 mins with epix. /o\

Commentaire de Thottbot

Finally! Farming something as a Fury War that pays off :)

They might be immune to a lot of stuff, but they aren't immune to my Fist and Dagger! And hell, they can steal ALL the mana they want from me...

Commentaire de Thottbot

Has been nerfed quite dramatically im afraid,at level 69 i grinded 7 primals in about an hour maybe a little longer,i spent 1 hour then and got 2 primals and im 70.Not too much difference the weapons and gear im in is different.Nevermind only another 11 manas,18 shadow and 11 felsteel bar to go for my lovely fireguard -.-

Commentaire de Thottbot

without a doubt the best place for mana motes is the MAna Seekers in WIZARDs Row....South East Area of Netherstorm...

i got 20 primal manas easy on 1 farm route....respawns are fast and theres many cool green drops 66-68 items...

plus i made like 120g with silly grey drops & elemental shards :O

lol....and repair bill was 60silver :O

Commentaire de Thottbot

Not really a problem farming these on a mage. They're arcane immune, so you cant CS their manaburn. On the other hand, you dont really need to as they die rather quickly.

Commentaire de Thottbot

kirin var village is the best place
i tried north of area 52 but drop rate there sucks

Commentaire de Thottbot

A helpful hint for those farming the nether rays or whatever they are called, their mana drain can be cleansed off by pallies.

Commentaire de Thottbot

As a skinner i found a great farming spot to be just a bit north east of Arklon ruins. The drop rate is probly a little lower than other spots mentioned but both the phase hunters and nether rays in that area are skinnable.(For some reason other varietys of phase hunters are unskinable) Also as a hunter i find them a bit easier to kill as neither are magic resistant to any of my shots. The mobs are quite concentrated in that area and PvP is minimal. Just an idea for you skinners out there.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I find the best place is the Phase Wyrms on the "Maintaining The Sunwell Portal" quest. They often drop 1 - 2 motes per kill. Most kills i've gone without a drop was 2 or 3 tops i think! Just got 2 primals and 2 extra motes in about 15 mins.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Unless I was really unlucky today, they nerfed the drop rate for Motes of Mana from the Mana Wyrms... I killed at dozen of them and got NO motes, period.

Commentaire de Thottbot

It seems like blizzard nerfed the mana wyrms, as there is barely any of them where you do the daily anymore, I actually had to look for them today, and in between kills I was able to regen back to full mana and health. Drop rate seems the same, but it seems like a waste of time to farm them there anymore.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I am a 70 resto druid, skinner, decent gear but mostly blues, not epics. I say this to point out that my dps is certainly not the highest, and so if your dps is higher you're likely to do even better. I started farming motes of mana to help out my husband, and discovered a nice little bonus. What I do is this:

Pick up the quests for the sunfury attack plans and for the nether residue from Shat. I then fly to netherstorm in epic flight form - if you don't have an epic, go to area 52. I head to manaforge B'naar, which is right near area 52. I spend a few minutes farming the attack plans off the blood elves around the manaforge, (they also have a decent drop rate on sunfury signets), then head north and west of the manaforge. There are a few nether rays and a ton of phase hunters along the rocks from directly west of the manaforge and up to the road to blade's edge. I wear my healing gear, to give me really good mana regen, since the mobs drain mana and mana burn. In 30 minutes farming, I get 2-3 primals, 1-2 stacks of knothide leather, all of my nether residue, 3-5 decent green drops, and about 10 gold in gray vendor trash. I usually only have to drink about every 10 minutes (innervate ftw). I hearth back to shat, turn in the two quests for usually 2 more green items, an occasional badge of justice, and about 25 more gold. Sweet!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Good drops from the Phase Hunters and sometimes the Nether Rays in Netherstorm, just outside of Area 52, though they canpretty much be found around the edges every where.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Decent drop rate. I'm hating farming these though as a holy paladin I'm trying to get the Khorium set and I go oom fast. after about 1 1/2 I have about 2 primals. Not too bad but I'd probably be better off farming elsewhere for other motes such as shadow in Nagrand and just buying these on the AH. Oh well I'm stubborn.

Commentaire de Thottbot

70 BM hunter, half epics - motley assortment of pvp, heroics, and tradeskills. Anyways.

Killing the mageslayers and mana hunters at Wizard Row is by far the best way to farm motes of mana. I put my core hound on aggressive, and ran a full circuit around the area, auto-shotting everything in sight. My pet healed itself for any damage it took, I never took damage, and I didn't need any mana, so I had zero downtime. Each one of those mobs drops either a primordial essence or elemental fragment; adding up the totals, I wound up with 108 of those, and 44 motes of mana, in about an hour of grinding. That makes a little less than 50% drop rate, though the actual drops are a bit different, what with sometimes getting two in a drop.

End result, anyone that relies on mana to do damage will have a hard time farming these efficiently.

Commentaire de Trinket90

Best place I've found is Wizard Row in Kirin'Var Village, at the southeast edge of Netherstorm's southernmost island. The Mana Seekers and Mageslayers have a pretty decent drop rate, dropping 1-2 motes every few kills. It tends to be busy with farmers and questers but the respawns are pretty fast.

The Mana Seekers have mana burn, but if you kill them quickly they won't try to cast it. If you don't kill them fast enough you can interrupt it (shaman earth shock usually interrupts and does enough damage to kill them).

The Mageslayers are actually more annoying for me because, while they don't drain mana, they do have spell reflect. Also avoidable if you kill very fast, but you can't see or interrupt it like you can with mana burn. It really throws a wrench into killing sprees because if you do a lot of damage you can easily off yourself with a badly timed reflect.

Still, as an ele shaman killing one at a time as quickly as I can, I get about 50 motes an hour.

Commentaire de rahzel44

Gonna go ahead and say 30% drop rate on warp monstrosities is complete nonsense. I've killed probably 50 and gotten like 6.
