Only mob to drop . very few spawns, you'll most likely have to kill other ogres to make Geomancers spawn.

Me and a friend (both enchanters) farmed for the formaula and got it in just a few kills. Going back there to get my own formula now...

The skirmishers here will spawn much more frequently than the geomancers, but if you can clear them out as fast as possible you shouldn't have a problem.

Bring some snacks and a large block of time if you are hunting for your Enchant Bracers - Spellpower recipie. I'd recommend AoE grinding these things. That's the only way to find this drop.

The spawn rate appears to be about 6 Skirmishers to 1 Geomancer, with wolves and Brewmasters thrown in on separate spawn tables. Two level 70's can clear the camp pretty fast. I recommend keeping at it til you get one, otherwise, you'll eventually wear it down to where you have maybe 1 or 2 geo's spawning at a time. At least by clearing the whole thing you get $$ and other world drops (greens, etc).

Commento di Flick

Definitely recommend clearcutting this place. The easiest place to do it is in the village directly across the way from the path up to Sylvanaar. Wipe out the village, zip across the ravine up the path, and depending on your kill rate the village will likely have respawned.

They (and the attendant Skirmishers) drop Netherweave in decent quantity without watering it down with Runecloth, so that's definitely a plus.

One of the most annoying grinds I've done. I'm at the 3 hour mark now but that's not really the annoyance. I hate that I have to grind skirmishers in order to be able to kill the geomancers I need that MIGHT drop the enchant I'm after. /sigh

As of the 2.1 patch, when you gain Friendly status with Ogri'la, the Bloodmaul will no longer be hostile, but rather neutral. They are still attackable, and killing them does not appear to harm Ogri'la reputation.

The good news is that this makes this area that much safer to farm in. The bad news is that you'll feel like a heel for slaughtering entire villages of ogres who are now technically your allies, as they revile you for being "a horrible King."

This recipe dropped from my first mob :D

Commento di 53694

I was just clearing the whole camp as a shadow priest. Using +spirit gear and spirit tap i didn't even get oom once. Kill everything you see and it doesn't take long to farm at all.

IF you get low on health and the skirmisher is doing the enraged thing just run away because they are 50% speed at that time.

Only took me about 20 minutes to farm and dropped of my fourth kill of a geomancer.

Commento di 25333

After grinding these guys for about 5 hours last night, the best advice I have is to kill any Bloodmaul Ogre you can. Run in a large circle around the area that the Bloodmauls are at. It really helps to have run the King of the Ogres quest line so you don't aggro the dog's down there along with the other ogres, so you can easily focus fire.

Commento di Wander

I'm beginning to suspect, after ~2000 ogres, that this might not drop after doing the King of the Ogres quest.... Can anyone confirm that it does drop after doing this quest?

Commento di 92431

I'm into hour 17 straight clearing every mob, no drop yet. My eyes will bleed soon.

Edit: Dropped. Official time: 25 hours, 24 minutes. That's with pulling every mob I possibly could, 2 pulls on the east side, 3 pulls on the west, and AoEing them down in seconds. Good luck on this one.

Commento di 67144

Im thankful mine didnt take 17 hours to complete.
Up the path toward Sylvannar and around that western ledge I found more Geomancers. I only killed the skirmishers that would pat around, and the ones in the camp that were standing single (Not by the brewmasters) Had a pretty good spawn-rate of Geomancers.
1.5 hours @ lvl 69 - druid. Good xp, left me 1 bubble away from 70 :)

Commento di Jushak

2.3 farming report:

Farmed this first for roughly one hour, no drop.

Came back 2 hours later, was lucky enough to meet 3/5 geomancers, last of the 5 kills dropped the formula.

The biggest problem here is not the low drop rate: It's the low spawn rate of those cursed geomancers. If you're unlucky with spawns AND drops, this could take forever.

Commento di 107715

If you are feeling bad killing them due to the /say they have, like i did, here's a neat trick you can do ! :)
Go to Interface -> Advanced Options -> Chat -> Disable "Show Chat Bubbles"
You can even change your chat channel to something else that doesn't show /say aswell:D!

Voila!
Makes killing those poor ogres so much easier:)

Commento di Zillaji

It took 8 ogres for me for it to drop, lucky i guess :)

Commento di 50908

If you have done the opening Ogri'la faction quests then the Geomancers and Skirmishers will be neutral to you. HOWEVER, after you kill a certain amount of them they will temporarily turn aggressive to you.I thought this was a bug till I talked to a GM. She said it was normal for them to turn hostile then show up as neutral another day. Your Ogri'la faction will not be changed.

Commento di alchemist

2 hours and nothing, i have a feeling this is gonna take much more

Commento di Tomken

....... 7 hours still nothing...
Seriously it's exciting ever f**kings kill..... But no recipe t_T'

Commento di 87758

Summary aroung 2.5k kills geomancers+skirmishers.... Still no drops.
I hate this mobs.

Commento di karmithius

Best way I've found to Farm for the plan is to enlist the help of a friend (Preferably someone who can kill fast) and have them slaughter Skirmishers while you fly a circle around the area picking off any Geomancers that spawn.

Last night we did this for 3 hours.
No Drop.

Commento di 136731

To those feeling bad about slaughtering ogres, just remember the phrase "Manifest Destiny". I say to the ogre, "This is your destiny, let me manifest it for you! <chop!>" and his purpose in life is fulfilled. Besides, I'm teh King, technically all my subjects belong to me as serfs. If they didn't, how could I send them out on a Crusade? :D

Commento di seven77

Am a lucky gnome... just finished mine in less than 30 minutes...
Good game to all the rest of you...

Commento di 9361

like maybe 45 geo kills later i memmorized the recipe
lousy spawnrate tho yeah

Commento di 125690

I have been killing everything for 3 hrs now.. no drop so far :p

terrible drop rate..

Commento di 164130

Ugg been farming this for several hours. I have about 53 kills on Geomancers and no drop. Anyone get this drop lately?

Commento di 164130

Update: I have killed over 230 or so Geos and no drop as of yet.

I did get an enchant of Enchant Shield - Resistance from a skirmisher. I guess it sells for pretty good on AH but I think I will add it to my enchant list.

Also have netted a couple of good blues that I sold for 50g or so each. So it isn't a complete loss but I have probably 8 hours (at least) in and no drop! Ugg.

Commento di 164130

Ok guys, finally got it! It took a total of about 300 Geomancers but I got it.

So while questing for this, I got 2 blues that each sold for 50ish gold, the Three of Furies card, the Shield - Resistance enchant which I hear sells in the 150 range, debating on that.

And the damn enchant I wanted. Now here is teh funny part. I also want the Major Spellpower - Weapon enchant. So I cruise up to the Spellthieves and figure I would do one clear and log there to start on that one tomorrow. I get it on the 5th kill. Amazing! So I am one happy enchanter.

Goodluck all!

Commento di 165798

Alright, mod this how you will.

I got extremely lucky and picked up the enchant in about 15 mins by just flying around and picking off the Geomancers. I had planned on making one or two passes a day, but it dropped before I started heading back north :D

Commento di SlayerX

It's official: terrible low drop rate

I keep farming the enchant pattern 1 or 2 hours daily for a complete week and nothing, this is my day 8th, I got ridicolous amount of Netherweave Cloth, if you are a tailor you will be happy, but enchanters like me just getting angry.

Blizzard give us another chance to get this pattern, add drop rate to the Skirmish as well :(

Commento di 110866

Kinda funny. I was farming for about 2 hours and no greens or anything was droping. I was about to give up so i decided i was gonna kill a few more then call it quits. I shot an arrow at the Geomancer and accidently aggroed a Wolf with it. so i started attacking them but before the fight was over i disconnected. When i got back online i saw my pet ravenger kill both of them. The Orc droped the enchant and the wolf droped a random BOE blue pair of leather legs. I dont know if it was worth 2 hours of farming but i was happy.

Commento di 30463

Got the enchant after about 15 minutes of grinding. Took down all visible ogres. Easy to do if you are a mage, 1-2 shot each ogre, clear the whole camp in a minute or two.

Note: Even if you are friendly w/ Ogrila, the dogs aggro with the skirmishers if nearby. Not noted with the geos though.

Commento di Kounterfeit

got it after my 3rd kill on my mage. Woot!

Commento di RaionStar

i must have been one very lucky bastard! >_< only killed 3 Geo Ogres and the chant dropped for my Mage. Good Luck getting it!

Commento di 222003

I have been killing them for like 4 hours (balance, it goes pretty fast) and + u have to wait for cam to respawn. Nothing droped for me. But i am stubborn so yeah, ill go for it. Even so, i dont suggest you to just "farm it for fun".

Commento di 227788

I too must be lucky very very luck 1 kill on Moonglade EU and bingo was his namo!

Commento di 329198

Got it from my 2nd kill with 450 enchanting skill.

Commento di 347628

I usually hate the comments of the type like the one I'm about to write now, but I actually got it after my second kill as well. I'm a 441 enchanter and I saw someone requesting this enchantment in the trade channel and thought I should give it a go. I survyed the area with my flying mount and found extremely few geomancers. I killed the first one I saw in a group on the right side with no luck. I then flew over to the group on the left side of the map, found another, killed it, looted it and began hyperventilating and blasting my luck for not giving me such opportunities with epics instead x)

I'm not sure if this was caused by unexpected luck (even shadow priests have their lucky strike I guess), if there have been any changes in the patches, if it's because BE is practically deserted and the enchantment simply wanted to be looted, or if it's indeed a result of the fact that the stats does not take into account that only a few of the looters are actualy enchanters.
Either way, I was very ucky and got it quickly, so I suggest anyone intersted in this enchantment to defy the stats and just give it a go :)

Commento di Pyratewench

Enchant dropped after my 4th kill. Drop rate may have been increased as I found an +spellpower/weapon enchant off the Thieves in the northern part of Blades (area of the Mana daily)-dropped in 5 kills, and the Greater Dodge wrist enchant in Netherstorm off the Ethereum Nullifiers, dropped on my 2nd kill....

may be a really good time to farm up any missing BC enchantments you need, while you can...rare Vanilla pats/sources/vendors/quests that reward pats seems to be disappearing with each new patch I've noticed...

Commento di Marierierieee

I guess tonight was a lucky one... Got it on the first geomancer I killed. :P

Commento di Irv384

Based on the newer commented, they must have changed the drop rate or I was very lucky; got this on my first kill.

I wouldn't anticipate a long grind to farm these, but good luck! :-)

Commento di Healadin2200

As of patch 6.0 the drop rate seems higher than the rate that's shown on the page. I got it quite early on after setting out to get this recipe, some 10-15 kills or so.

The mob respawn rate seems a bit long though (2-3 mins or so), so you might need to be a bit patient if it doesn't drop on the first round. The mobs do walk all the way up till Bladespire Hold! Not just the small village as seem on the screenshot above. So do check and kill there as well, then work your way back to the beginning.

Good luck!
