by far the easiest way to farm these in mass quantities so far is to go to Hyjal just south of the Grove of Aessina. The wailing weeds have 5k hp and are bunched up so you can aoe them very easily and pick their corpses. i got about 20 volatile life in 25 kills. of course, farming herb grants these AND xp so its up to you :)

As a historical record, the icon for these were originally red. It was updated to green as of Cataclysm beta build 13277. Made glancing at mats easier.

There have not been elemental life clouds since patch 2.3... Only Air, Water, Fire, Shadow (Outland), and Mana (Outland)

See for yourself that Motes of Life or Crystallized Life don't have clouds they can be harvested from (anymore in the case of the Motes).

Edit: I now see why a number of people have downrated this. The comment I was responding to was either purged or deleted even with my comment attached. Someone had asked something along the lines of "Has anyone seen 'mote clouds' in Cataclysm?"(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gryphon##DELIM##

Wailing weeds no longer drop loot nor are herb skinable :(

So....where's a good place to farm these? (Without Herbalism)

Commento di 421626

As a Herbalist the best place for this is Hyjal, due to the environment(Grassy) and the chance of three different herbs spawning it makes for quick gathering.

If your selling this on the AH, consider selling it in stacks of 15 so Alchemists can conveniently buy them for their Transmute: Living Elements. I usually put stacks of 15 up a slight premium to buying it in 20 stacks (or if you like, charge slightly less than a stack of 20 to catch out the unaware).

Commento di 744084

If your not an herbalist or skinner, don't plan on getting this other than AH or a friend, not dropped by any mob except the one in Halls of Origination.

Commento di Ovahealz

30 of this items, along with 8 bolts of embersilk are needed to make Dream of Hyjal. At 10g a piece (on Arthas-US at least), expect to be selling a lot of the powerful spellthreads to pay for the Lifes every week.

Unless you're a chinese farmer, then go ahead and buy them all.

Volatiles are the new Eternals / Primals of Cataclysm.

Complete list of Volatiles:
Volatile Fire
Volatile Water
Volatile Earth
Volatile Air
Volatile Life

There is also Volatile Shadow but these are deprecated and can't be used for antyhing.

I have a great spot for you. In Deatholme there is a daily called Soft Rock. For those people wanting to get in good with this faction it's one of 7 dailies available in that area. Now, the great thing about that is that you have huge numbers of people killing these monsters.

The good news is that herbalists can skin them!

When Cata first came live, I was disappointed to find out that skinning them only made them disappear. After doing that to a dozen or so, I just gave up.

After the last patch, however, I did a skinning automatically and got 3 volatile life. I went "?". So I started flying in a circle, skinning the masses of the dead, and got about a 40% drop on he Volatile, and about a 10%+ drop on acquiring other herbs (some high end, some with the volatile life), and the rest of the time, some grey trash herb.

As an alchemist, this meant that in a short time I had 15 volatile life to transmute, and I could do it as part of my daily (and as a master of alchemy, I sometimes got a double transmute!).

So my recommendation is to go there, and be a vulture, swooping down on the dead to get what you need - volatile life!

Commento di jameswood150

This works great for an herbalist who can skin, but what about those of us that cannot? Does anyone have any idea of how this can be aquired without going to the AH and paying the rediculous prices?

"skinning" here likely means using herbalism to dispose of a looted corpse so you do _not_ need skinning to do it.

Engineers kan dispose of (aka "skin") some mechanical mobs (not so much in Cata as in Northrend though) for engineering parts.

Miners can dispose of some elementals (mainly earth elementals) for ores.

Skinners can skin creatures (but seldom elementals or mechanical mobs) for, uh, skins and leather.

Herbalists can dispose of nature elementals for various life essences and flowers.

I think that covers it all.

Of course, you could just do what herbalists normally do, pick herbs, and get volatile life in (at the time of this writing) droves.

Commento di Seana

As an herbalist, I find I get tons of these off the herbs in lower level areas. Mount Hyjal cinderbloom seems to drop a lot more than Tol Barad cinderbloom for example. And I hardly get any from herbs in Twilight Highlands.

Best place to farm volatile life: Deepholm.

I start from the temple and go around Aeonaxx's path until i reach the northwestern end. There i abruptly keep going until i hit the place that gives has those big mushromms that u need to explode for a quest.

There are 10 billion herbs there and all over deepholm. If you go at it, u can farm up to 200 volatile life an hour (i find that generally i get about 125-175).

Great place to farm :)

EDIT: Since there is so much volatile life, pairing herbalism and alchemy is great, so you can Xmute the surplus of life into w/e else u want (make sure to go to whichever place u want though). Deepholm: Volatile life to EARTH. Uldum: Volatile life to AIR
Twilight Highlands: Volatile life to FIRE. Vash'jir: Volatile life to WATER (no surprise there).

So far, i have not seen Aeonaxx, but still, it is pretty good way to farm him without being completely camping.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##

Apparently every single entry above (except maybe Living Vine) is incorrect. If you aren't an herbalist, you'll not get Volatile Life from any of these entries. (Read the comments for each of the items and you'll see what I mean.)

Any way to correct this totally misleading page?

Commento di RicardoZ

These don't drop from Twilight Stalkers in Twilight Highlands anymore. I just went up there looking and after you kill the Stalker you can't loot it, so we can cross that one off the list too.

EDIT: Can't loot Fiery Minions in Hyjal either. I think someone put them in there as a joke because they're both kind of obscure mobs and they're sitting back laughing at those of us who go trying to farm them for Volatile Life. Not funny, man! =)

Commento di swede422003

Volatile life is'nt able to be looted off of Mac Toads as stated. They are a level 1 critter and unlootable.

Commento di Trolled

To the previous comments regarding the "Dropped by" tab of this page:

The wowhead client, in one technical way or another, reads the drop as the items received with the npc clicked. If, for example, a mac toad was killed (and still selected) while a volatile life was looted from a plant, it would count as a drop from the mac toad.

The misleading drop page isn't a matter of user input trying to mislead you, but instead just an unfortunate bug in the way that drops are tracked.

In the cases where there's several loots of the item shown (Riverbed crocolisk, for example), it's simply a matter of that monster spawning on or near an herb that gives the volatile life. When a person with the client kills the mob to loot the herb, it's not uncommon that the mob is selected when the loot appears and then the incorrect data is displayed.

Commento di 829653

When I checked the droprate on volatile life from these Fungal Bemoths i was surprised. It's only a 11% dropchance of volatile life.

Commento di 794337

old news, but i go uldum farm whiptail till i get 100 Vlifes at that point i have 16-20 stacks or whiptail.. best time ever love the thrill of the chase

Commento di bob72

So the only use for these is to get an alchemist to trasmute them into something more useful?

Commento di 25122

OK~ I just read through these comments... and unless I'm missing something here, the verdict is that there's NO WAY to farm these if you're not an herbalist?

Commento di 839525

Sometimes while skinning in Vashj'ir i got the "Strange Bloated Stomach" and a couple of them had the vol life in them.

Commento di 749141

i wish they would update their tracking system so there would not be so much crappy info when i saw that i could get volatile life of npcs i was like "yay" then read the comments and was like "bummer" and it is really annoying to go on a wild goose chase because of faulty cords and its lucky if one of comments says something but when you have to figure out for your self its even more annoying

Commento di Synchant

I find this easy to farm in Uldum.
Whiptails gives alot :-)

Commento di GUSIS

Vita Instabile is crazzy to get even if you are Herbalist... Reasson - I have gathered 16 stacks of Velo di Azshara & 16 stacks of Gelsomino del Crepuscolo & i still missing Vita Instabile to make 2 stacks of Tonico della Mente Draconica

It took me more then 4 hours to gather mats for 2 stacks of Tonico della Mente Draconica & even now,i must keep herbing damn flowers,because i still need more then 80 Vita Instabile to get those damn 2 stacks of Tonico della Mente Draconica

I`m sick already of herbing...

And its a shame,that there is no elementals who drops some lifes,like it was in previous expansions :/

Commento di Omac

I just picked 10 Whiptail nodes in Uldum and there wasn't a single Volatile Life nor any other additional item such as lifegiving seeds - there was just Whiptail, and that was it. But Cinderbloom and Stormvine on Hyjal are both still dropping them (volatile life and lifegiving seeds), although I haven't picked enough to check the drop rates.

Commento di Omac

I just picked up 62 Volatile Life during a 40-minute run on Hyjal. It dropped often from Cinderbloom and Stormvine, but not at all from Azshara's Veil.

Commento di 1001500

Farmed for about 3 hours a couple of days ago in Uldum

Gathered:

256 X Whiptail and 129 X Volatile Life

Sold them all for a very decent price and there are plenty of nodes which quickly respawn.

Commento di myrkat

Unfortunately, this is the only elemental type that cannot be placed in an Engineer's Toolbox. All other motes/crystalized/volatiles can be, however. So one can have Mote/Primal/Crystalized life, but not a volatile life within one's toolbox.

Makes it tough for those of us who like things... just a certain way. Neat and organized. Curse you blizz!

Commento di 1170496

Just read on the guide to volatile air and they told about Florawing Hive Queen in Zul'Gurub (left when you enter the instance). Seems the honeycomb she drops has volatile life in it as well, 3-6 every drop(100% rate of drop).

As a non herbalist, or even as one, this seems really fast. Run in, kill her, run out reset instance and repeat.

At the time of typing, i've done this for 5 minutes(perhaps less) and netted over 20 air and 20 life.

The 10 run limit will come up quick, but still.

Quick edit: ran until got locked out, 53 life, 53 air, 47 twilight jasmine.

Commento di 1544954

I am a herbalist and i find it from any flower in Uldum especially whiptail. On three circles i have around 100 of it. Hope this helps

Commento di Saucery

The best way to farm Volatile life would be this method
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6RWBUeweGg
no herbalism required and you get about 50 volatile life in about 7 minutes.

Commento di KKthx

The best and most efficient way I've found to farm Volatile Life is to go to Zul'Gurub and kill Florawing Hive Queen. You can find her at the beginning of the instance... once you enter, go all the way down those stone steps and immediately turn LEFT. Keep going about 50 yards and you will see her hovering above a pond.

Now that you can do 10 instances in an hour, I go do this on my rogue and just park her outside the instance for an hour until the restriction has expired. From start to finish, it takes me less than 10 minutes to do all 10 kills/resets. What you want off the Hive Queen is Hive Queen's Honeycomb, which drops almost everytime (98% chance). I must have killed her at least 200+ times already, and only ONCE she didn't drop Hive Queen's Honeycomb. The bonus of farming Volatile Life this way is that you will also be getting other mats at the same time, all of which are contained in Hive Queen's Honeycomb! I usually get about 45-55 Volatile Life AND Volatile Air per 10 kills, so it will take you less than 30 min (not counting the 1 hr downtimes in between) to get enough to make Vial of the Sands, which I make fairly often for guild mount raffles... so if you are looking to make the same item, this is a great way to do it! You will also get Twilight Jasmine from the Honeycomb, and I ususally get about 45-55 of those every 10 kills as well.

P.S. If you are trying to make Vial of the Sands, you will need 120 Volatile Air, but you also need a little more Volatile Life (128 specifically) for the flasks required in that recipe. But, you should get enough Volatile Life within those 30 kills because the Hive Queen's Honeycomb is supposed to drop about as much Life as Air (4-6 of each). If you are intending to farm the mats for this mount yourself, and are going to pick the herbs required (Azshara's Veil x64, Whiptail x128, and Cinderbloom x64), you also have a 39% per Wowhead to obtain Volatile Life from picking any of those 3 herbs... although I'm not sure how much each time... it's probably a range of 1-3 Life if it appears with any of those herbs while gathering (should have paid closer attention!). And remember... if you have an alchemist make the flasks required for this recipe (Flask of Titanic Strength x8 and Flask of the Winds x8) instead of buying them off the AH, you will likely get *at least* 1 proc per type of flask (since you are making 8 of each), and end up with even more flasks than needed... so if you are short a few herbs, don't worry!

****EDIT: Spent all day today testing the quantity of Volatile Life that can be picked when herbing cata herbs. Looks like when you find a herb node that does have Volatile Life in it, you will always get 2-3 per node.

Commento di johnnysebre

Zul'Gurub has a decent way of not only getting life, but also air and earth. There are two elites mini-bosses you can kill that drop volatiles every time, then reset instances, and do it over and over until you hit the hourly limit.

As other comments pointed out, the Florawing Hive Queen drops a honeycomb container which once opened, will drop about 4-6 air AND life (26 runs, my average of 4.9 air and 5.4 life). She is hovering over the water on your left right at the entrance of the dungeon; just hug the left wall as soon as you zone in. EDIT: She was nerfed in 8.0 so that only first kill of the day per character will give the honeycomb

Tor-Tun the turtle drops about 5-8 earths (24 runs, my average was 6.5), he is in the water just SW of High Priest Venoxis (first boss), not far from to the middle of the map.

Commento di wils9449

As of 8.0 the Florawing Hive Queen only drops a honeycomb on the first kill of the day so this is no longer as viable a farming method.

Commento di Jibbs

Ok if you haven't played this game in forever or you just don't remember anything maybe this will help you out.

Yes, you can farm these from cataclysm herbs but you first must have Erbalismo di Cataclysm which you can learn by looking up its corresponding spell: Erbalismo

If you do not have that, you can still herb these nodes but you will only get 1 herb and never any Vita Instabile. Furthermore, you can get a lot of these quickly by using this farming route: https://www.wow-professions.com/farming/volatile-life-farming

To get to Uldum quickly for future runs, you can open a portal from Stormwind/Orgrimmar by starting this quest line: Soldi facili and going up until this quest Fuga dalla Città Perduta

This will open a portal at The Valley of Wisdom in Ogrimmar (48.8, 38.5) for Horde and north of the Dwarven District in Stormwind (75.2, 20.5) for Alliance

Commento di mischievousB

You can also get volatile life off of cinderblooms in Mt Hyjal. I get about 3 every other flower pick.
