10 Mote of Air (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=22572) can be turned into 1 Primal Air.

Commento di retri

In Nagrand there are several places that have air elementals. All of them have a chance to drop the motes of air.

Commento di 8763

A good place to farm for these, once you have your flying mount, is the Elemental Plain. This is a hidden area only reachable by flying mount above the Throne of Elements in Nagrand. There are many fire and air elementals there, on a fast respawn timer.

You can far Motes of Air very quickly, and these can be turned into Primal Air.

better to farm them north on the shadowmoon map, elemental plataeu is being farmed 24/7 , i can pick up a descent amount of motes in shadowmoon ..

Commento di 56707

for a protection warrior like myself, i have better luck farming the Motes of Air from the 65, 66, 67 air elementals all around Nagrand and the ones that are 69, 70 in Shadowmoon Valley. less competition, faster killing equals more Motes of Air per hour than my prot tanking self trying to farm the hard-hitting 70-71 elementals at the plateau.

also, note that the spot is choke full of elementals, it is also choke full of warlocks and hunters farming the crap outta motes. i check it out to see what its like up there few times a day at different times, and now that its summer, the kiddie alliance aren't in school anymore and don't have to work so they are up there farming at all times of the day now. terrible farming spot, unless you are a warlock or hunter yourself to minimize downtime between elementals.

A place I has found to be a good farming-spot is in Shadowmoon Valley as mentioned above. The mobs go down pretty easy (5,5k hp). You can find them north-east of Altar of Sha'tar and south-east of Warden's Cage (just a bit west of the big crystals on your map) as well as along the edge facing Netherwing Ledge. Happy farming!

It would seem as though the information on the {{Created By}} tab is wrong. It says {{Create Primal Air}} only requires 9 motes. It requires 10. I know, it's easy to spot, just saying.........

Commento di Jerodast

I'm just trying to figure out why the one mob that drops complete Primal Air is heroic Shattered Hand Executioners. And at a decent rate, too.

Commento di MoRawka

Just farmed for 10 min in Shadowmoon. 0 Drops of air from these mobs. Guess blizz nerfed the drop rate, or maybe they dont drop at all anymore. Gave up, heading back to org to try and find someone who can xmute

Commento di 804749

Those primals now sells from 150g each on my server. In half an hour, I can farm around 4-5 of them in nagrand from gas clouds and plateau. Of course, not selling them, transmuting them in primal might is more profitable.

Commento di 553821

In TBC I would find only 1-2 motes of air every 25 to 40 elemental kills, which was quite annoying (it was the worst experience I had with the bad drop rate of certain items, tied with the Golden Pearl one - you probably know what I mean, if you're an enchanter that had to farm the mats to make the enchanting rods).
Now, that my new char is lvl60, I visited the Shadowmoon Valley spot to check if this location is better for me... and it was, 4 motes after 5 kills.

So, if we say the drop rate of the motes is really the same for mobs of the mentioned locations, either I was always unlucky in Nagrand, or I was too lucky for those 10 minutes in SmV.

p.s. From my experience, you don't see items that are air, like this, drop as often as their fire, etc. versions. ...Maybe they made it like that cause the air is "harder" to be caught ?(like mana or fire are easily caught... oh well, just a thought.)

Edit: it seems I wasn't the only one who's luckier in SmV (Biffsterr's theory would make sense, and... overall, SmV seems like the right place for farming these, for all the reasons Biffsterr mentioned... especially about elementals in SmV being in a smaller area while in Nagrand they're scattered).

Commento di 554580

o yeah well i have to get 20 of these and there aint a single one on the auction house!

Commento di Biffsterr

From past reading and being a data analyst, I know that Blizzard utilizes data models that predict probability. X number of kills yields a chance of X number of drops. My personal take is that they base it on the continent or zone. In this case, Outland. I also believe, based on experience, that the number of other people killing specific mobs, and thereby farming the items that drop, affects your chances. So, if someone else has been farming before you do, you may see less motes of air. This is a hypothesis, I don't really know. How does this affect you? It's difficult to say because there's no way you can tell what other people are doing and when they did it.

That said, this morning I farmed motes of air starting at the elemental plateau. After killing every air elemental, I had six motes. I flew to Shadowmoon and went to the netherwing area where the air elementals are. I got several drops of two motes and was able to farm enough for the rest of the requirement of four primal air within about a half hour. So, six motes in Nagrand and thirty-three in Shadowmoon (I already had one mote of air before this farming expedition). Does that mean you'll have the same luck? No. Remember, the key to drop rates is the word "chance".

I recommend Shadowmoon, though, because the respawn rate and the number of air elementals is much higher there than it is at the elemental plateau. Also, yes you can probably find as many air elementals in Nagrand overall but you'll have to cover far more area than you will in Shadowmoon.

Commento di brocke

These suckers are extremely rare on Kael'thas. I have been searching for them for the past 2 weeks and they seldom pop up. If they do, it's for 150+ gold. The other Primals are always around and sell for nothing. Why are these so rare?

Commento di mummer

The air elementals in Elemental Plateau tend to drop more Motes when you take them on 1on1, or is it just my luck?
Every time i grouped them up and swiped them down, they didn't drop any motes.

Commento di cptspalding

I agree with mummer.

Cleared the entire elemental plateau with no drops beyond an elemental fragment. Did them one by one on the next spawn & gathered 8 motes. result. Ty Mummer :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Try out shadowmoon valley around where you do the quest to pickup the helm to see the ghosts of shadowmoon. Pretty successful in that area, maybe 2primal's an hr or so, maybe more if you don't have any others in the area and you aren't getting bothered.

Commento di Allakhazam

just got 3 primals of 1 dude in Shattered Halls

Commento di Allakhazam

Dont see why these are so expensive, dead easy to farm, im currently farming 20 for my Thunder, and i can pick up about 5-10 in about an hour in a good grinding session, i deceided to head to the AH to buy the last few i needed, and wtf? 50g each, supply and demand! appart from their piss easy to farm =/

I guess the prices will drop a fair bit in a month or so when theres less demand for them.

Commento di Allakhazam

omg you say you can get 5-10 in 1 hour but you dont say how and were?...

Commento di Allakhazam

IM A HOMO

Commento di Allakhazam

Primal airs themselves don't drop, you need motes of air. It's kind of obvious being that every other primal element works that way too. Anyways, the best place to farm them is off the wind elementals(also obvious) on the cliff north of Throne of Elements in Nagrand.

Commento di Allakhazam

They drop 35-40% of the time in SMV at The Altar of Shadows.

Best Primal Air farming: Farm Primal Air

Commento di Thottbot

These are the most expensive primal to buy, about 75g on my server :x fire only comes to maybe 30-35g compared. It's nuts, sometimes you need 8-10 primal air for just one little thing but I guess the market got psyched up about Air somehow? Life and Shadow are nearly worthles.

Commento di Thottbot

If you are looking for a good place to grind these. I would recommend the Storm Ragers in Nagrand. They can be found around (48, 27),And (58, 44)

Good luck, Happy Hunting!

Commento di Thottbot

for me was in shadowmoon, kinda by the altar of shadows. there are tons there and every 1-2 kills you get at least 1 or 2 motes of air.

plus, 1 primal air sells for about 28g (cheapest price) in the auction house on bloodhoof.

Commento di Thottbot

for future reference for people who think you can buy something like primal shadow and transmute it all the way over to air (like i did).... DOES NOT WORK SOO WELL considering i did not know about he 24hr cd on it witch really sucks, plus, i need 4 meaning 8 TRANSMUTES that is 192hrs of cd total, so i need 8 alchemists or something, this isn't working soo well, plus hard to get mats for cobrahide leg armor if u can't afford so DO NOT try and take this easy was out, waste of $$

Commento di Thottbot

yup elemental plateau is the best place to farm all primals ... but there is a lot of competition.. just like previous post.. i go there late at night or early in the morning

good luck with air elementals.. everbody is grinding there

Commento di Thottbot

on my server, i tried to grind primal air at the fields/pass in shadow moon and got about 4 MOTES of air in about an hour...it sucked and was frustrating...

Commento di Thottbot

If you have this transmute you can farm the water elements in Nagrand in the lake right next to Garadar (Horde base). It is a cool down of 24hours as you know but at least its much easier to farm. You can have primal water and primal air if you stay long enough. Much quicker to get 20x mote of water then it is to get 10x mote of air. 20x mote of water = 1x primal water and 1x primal air when transmuted. Or you could just farm to tranmute into primal air. If anyone thinks otherwise please comment.

Commento di Thottbot

I went to 60,20 in Shadowmoon Valley and farmed around 1-2 Primals within 30 mintues. If your going there be careful of the other mobs. Its nice and quite and I recommend that spot to farm it there. Probley want flight form or a flying mount

Commento di Thottbot

hunter lvl 70 i used my bird wit track elementals on in nagrand an got plenty of these enough so that my alt will get her epic mount soon an if my luck holds so will my other alt

Commento di Thottbot

If you're blowing a transmute cooldown on making these from waters, you're being a knucklehead.

On my server, anyway:
Primal Earth, sells for 5g.
Primal Water, sells for 22g.
Primal Air, sells for 27g.

Transmuting Water->Air, net gain 5g.
Transmuting Earth->Water, net gain 17g.

You would have to be getting 2-3 extras from Master of Transmutation every single time you transmuted to make up the difference.

Kind of a no-brainer, no?

Commento di Thottbot

im an elemental shaman and for me simply impossible to farm mote of air (i have the same problem with motes of earth, but they are rather cheap on my server). I wanna a non-nature nuke!

Commento di Thottbot

sure shocks and fire nova...and even searing totem, indeed.
but grinding with these is the same as a mage grinding ONLY with fire blast and blazing wave.

Commento di Thottbot

Well I was farming In nagrand, by the throne of elementals. The following is how many Motes dropped comapered to air elementals that didn't drop a mote.

Motes dropped:13
No Motes:17

This is a 43.3% drop rate of motes. However this counts mutiltiple mote drops. If we decided to look at it if an enemy dropped a mote or not not coutning more then one dropped it would be around 17%

In other words get ready for a long grind.

Commento di Thottbot

seriously farming this is so easy as an enhancment shaman, never have to sit down to drink thanks to shamanstic rage, continious grinding.. I'd get like 3-5 primals in an hour.. but for elemental is hell.
if I was elemental I'd farm water / fire elemental then sell primal water / fire for primal air.

I'm currently farming this for my elemental netherstrike set.. need 36x primal airs.

Commento di Thottbot

I got mine in the same area as that other dude

61,20, SMV

not too crowded, fast respawns
just amount of other mobs is a bit queer

got about 5 Primal Air in 1hr 30 mins, not too bad

:D
much easier the elemental plateau

Commento di Thottbot

Yeah the best place to farm those are in Netherwing Fields from the elementals. And its good to farm gold too. I got Ced's carver from an elemental and about 8 primal air in 2hours

Commento di Thottbot

Zap Mote extractor... flying around Nagrand, I'm making 2-3 primal airs an hour -- with an epic flyer, my friend makes about 5 an hour. Also these always sell once posted on AH.

On my server primal air goes for 21g .. so thats upwards of 63g an hour, or 105g an hour if you have an epic flyer.

Even easier in 2.3 due to mote clouds appearing on mini map like mine viens do if your wearing skill 350 epic engineer only goggles.

Happy Farming!

Commento di Thottbot

The easyiest way to get primal airs as well as other primal is to be an engineer with the Zapthrottle Mote Extractor. You can find windly cloads in places like nargrand that are just like mineing veins. each once gives 3-5 motes or air. which one my sever comes out to somewhere around 10 g each time. They are fairly common to come across.

Commento di Thottbot

do u need a profesion to combine these primal things

Commento di Thottbot

Used a normal 100% mount, and Zapthrottle Mote Extractor + Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles to gather 45 mote in under 1 hour, count from the clouds was a couple times as high as 5 motes per cloud. on the server i play, when i put lowest bid and bo which were 21gold per primal making it a profit of 94,50 gold, just running around Nagrand, place is great since its open.

Commento di Thottbot

Netherwing pass is okay but i get only like 1 primal an hour

Fighting Air Elementals as an Elemental shaman is loads of fun.

Commento di Thottbot

sorry guys you all go on about how its always busy, if your farming primals it means when you sign on wow 95% of the time you are famring the same spot, if not then you left just to repair and sell. THIS IS FARMING

Now if you just go to nagrand and start killing elementals prob lots of competition but, if your liek me and farm, then your there alot and there is alot fo the time where you can farm for 30min up to an hour by yourself with no one else, it depends on how much you are there, and if your famring u should find alot fo the time you can be on a roll

Commento di Thottbot

Fellow shamans who are complaining about spell immunities:
I'm farming with no problem in SmV, getting about 1 primal per circuit (15-20mins) up and down Netherwing Pass and Altar of Shadows area.

water shield
flame shock
SS
Frost shock
SS
Frost shock
SS
Frost shock
etc... throw in Heroism (and Shamanistic Rage if you have it) if ya want. If you get in a tight spot, rocky is immune to their special attacks.
I'm level 70, I have mostly blue gear from instances (I still have blue chest piece from hellfire quests at 60ish), and I down these quickly if WF procs once of twice. I do these circuits non-stop, using SR and WS to keep mana up and bandaids/gift of the naruu to keep my health up. It helps to throw grounding totems when they begin casting Chain Lightening (nasty 800ish dmg), and when they cast hurricane, get behind them outside the AoE and enjoy several seconds of them not attacking you and whack away! :)

No Earth Shock? No lightening? No problem!
