Got this as a drop off level 68 mobs in Nagrand near Oshugun.

Commento di 7371

Same here, got one last night. Just need 4 more points in Alchemy to learn it now.

Commento di 16137

Its BoP item. Drops from mobs arround Oshu`gun in Nagrand.

Commento di DownD

Make sure you're not just shift+clicking to loot. If you move on too quickly, the popup to loot a BoP item will disappear and you might miss the drop.

Commento di icantswim

took me about 5 loops around the big diamond to get it, that's clearing every "camp" and all the arcanists right up near the side of the diamond.

Commento di 22651

Flied on a circle around of a white building and landed to kill Vir'aani Arcanists.
Got it near about 40 min.
P.S. Many of Vir'aani Arcanists u can see near a white ice blocks.

Commento di eqXzeRt

The best strategy is to run from one big white stone to another (one on the south, other on the north), it's enough time to let the mobs respawn.
For me this recipe droped from 15th mob. Lucky I'm :)

Commento di 23904

Hour and 20 minutes or so of farming. Not too bad. (not nearly as bad as the Major Shadow Protection >_<)

Commento di 14657

I had to kill 134 Vir'aani Arcanists before I picked mine up (recap kill count). Gathered 180 netherweave in that grind.

Commento di 25783

It dropped fairly quickly, about 20 kills or so.

Commento di jl4788

Got mine in 6 kills

Commento di 19170

Took 335 kills for it to drop. I wouldnt mind so much, but its a necessary recipe for end-game. I would recommend not farming this solo, but take some guildies with to farm it as it benefits the guild for the most part.

Commento di 19534

listed drop rate for this item (17k plus kills ) is .4% so it might take a while to get also some of the spawn points are shared with Vir'aani Raider's so be shure to clear all mobs or you will end up with fewer to kill

Commento di 31889

got mine after farming for about an hour and a half. not too bad.

Commento di Graendur

Snagged it after 35 kills, probably not typical for this drop though.

Commento di 30475

Dropped on my 164th arcanist (after 70 raiders). Takes about 2 hours. You will get into a pattern where you run between the 3 white stones killing arcanists. When there are too many raiders and not enough arcanists clear both types until they even out. Made about 140 netherweave as well.

Commento di 31843

Took me about 30 - 40 min of farming. Not bad at all.

Commento di 18513

I've killed about 150 of them so far... no drop. :(

Commento di 38037

All the new prot pots require primals. I don't forsee them being used much for a long time unless bosses start dropping primals like they used to drop essences. :(

Commento di 22764

89th kill at me, i just travelled to the mini-chrystals around Oshu'gun in a counter-clockwise path.

Commento di 43728

Confirmed. Drops in Nagrand around Oshugun. As a level 70 rogue the mobs died fast. I think I killed between 20-30.
Very pleased to know how to make this potion.
Also it is true about only Alchemists being able to see it. The hunter helping me farm for it did not know it had dropped when I looted the winning-corpse :)

Commento di 3006_

Boy I'm lucky, just got this off the 2nd mob kill...

Commento di 26961

8th kill, bought lots of food, was guessing a lot of farming was goin to happen, got lucky, guildie of mine farmed for 3 days

Commento di 39322

hmm... i see now for make 1x need 1x, 1x and 1x!
not 1,3 and 5 for 5x

Commento di 33514

Killed about 70 of these mobs. Easy to kill, and enough of them. Just run around in circles to the "small" crystal areas.

Commento di 53706

The stories of "rare" aren't wrong. 520 Arcanists for my drop today, measured via swstats death counter. But, got it in the end :)

Commento di 56334

I had great luck, droped for me after 11 kills.

Commento di 49521

not so great luck, dropped after 161 kills.

Commento di Gutts

drop rate is extremely too low...I have killed over 100 and no damn luck.

Commento di Tourn

Got it in 64 kills

Commento di Al3sinth

Got it in about 25min of farming Vir'aani Arcanists.

Commento di 7498

dropped for me this morning, I spent a good 30 mins last night, and about 15 mins this am...but really took quite some time...

Commento di 66154

Took a lot longer than most people who commented here: 3 hours.

Commento di 2328

Same here, been farming for more than 2 hours with no drop. I think you're in the minority if you get it in less than 100 kills.

Commento di 66943

Been farming these for 1 hour a day for nearly 3 weeks now and not a sausage.

Although my tailor now has enough cloth to make several 18 slot bags :)

Commento di 41966

Im farming 2 weeks now. nothing. did they change the drop rate or smth ?

Commento di cregor

Took me 2 full circles around Oshu'gun took get the recipe, killed every arcanist alive on both trips.

Commento di blupache

This recipe is still orange for me at 371 alchemy. Should be quite a good way to level up to 375 without wasted skillup opportunities, assuming you're prepared to farm this BoP recipe and a bit of primal mana.

The fact it's actually something useful is definitely a nice bonus.

Commento di Wildhorn

Since only alchemist who doesnt have it learned already can see the recipe drop, the % showed here is not really accurate.

You have to use WoW's Armory which give:

Vir'aani Arcanist Extremely Low (1% - 2%)

Commento di Ncl8

Got this recipe on my 64'th kill

Commento di 73436

After over 100 kills this weekend, i can confirm without a doubt the rate is low. i spent hours two days straight trying to farm for this. Not one drop.
*sigh*

Commento di 86775

I just got this tonight on Blades edge US server. I was just doing some consortium quests, and it just appeared. I wonder how much i can sell the pots for.

Commento di 92532

Does this still drop from the Arcanists? Killed over 400 of them and no sign of it.

Edit: 475 kills to get the drop, so yes, it still drops from this mob.

Commento di 42996

Got it from first kill, today. Guess I should go buy a lottery ticket :).

Commento di slone13

Has anyone got this lately i have been farming ..well this will be day two..

I ask a GM it was nurfed but i wasent on and i got a dumb email about "Unfortunately, we are not allowed to provide game hints of any kind."

guild mate said he did some looking and the drop rate is like .1% now

Commento di 146150

got it in 15 minutes

Commento di Kuroryo

Got mine in a solid hour of farming. I just ran around the entire Area, there are 3 good spots where many spawn, to the Northwest, Northeast, and Southwest of the giant crystal, and a few around the edge of the giant crystal, northeast, North, and Southeast. Also got lucky with a Jewelcrafting recipe drop. Not bad at all :)

Commento di xstaindx

This took me about an hour and a half to farming with my hunter. The recipe dropped off @ (31,75) in nagrand against an Vir'aani Arcanist. Settle in, this one is not quick.

Commento di 99328

I was fortunate, it dropped on the 5th kill. Be warned, sometimes the Arcanists will phase behind you, and be much farther behind you than other ethereals. They might seem to vanish, but they're simply 30 yards behind you.

Commento di 157048

woot ! it droped for me at the 4th mobi killed :D never been this lucky

Commento di 157048

woot ! it droped for me at the 4th mob i killed :D never been this lucky

Commento di 157582

Keep up hope, dropped for me on 3rd kill. Hooray!

Commento di 161223

This dropped for me tonight after about 25 minutes worth of farming.

I started off in the south west corner of the map, and worked my way around Oshu'gun, killing all Vir'aani Arcanists I saw, then moving onto the next lot. By the time I had reached the group mining at the north end of Oshu'gun, the recipe dropped.

Commento di 114876

=D Just started farming this about 30mins ago, took me about 50-60 kills to get, all in all, well worth the farm

Commento di 169009

This Item was VERY hard for me to get i farmed for it for about 2 hours but never got it...after i left i came back like 2 weeks later killed 2 or 3 and it droped right away i guess this just says that they are almost completly random.... good luck trying to get them. hopefully its easyer for you than me.

Commento di Tessela

On kill #247 and still farming : /

Commento di Ryxis

23rd kill for me on my resto druid, but i farmed over 300 kills on my feral druid without getting this at all

just keep plugging away, ignore the "drop rate shown as low because only alchemists see it" comments, it can be as low as hell for some people and great for others, just pray you're a lucky one

Commento di 186710

Took me about 4 hours of farming before it dropped. Very frustrating. I also got about 5 stacks of netherweave, 10g and a few crappy greens.

Commento di vbdotnetrulz

I got mine in the first five minutes of farming... oh the wonders of % drop chance system.

Commento di seryie

Just remember to clear around at each of the white crystals, and also around the very edge of the oshugun theres about 5 in total around in inside. Took me and hunter about 30 minutes of farming to get it. Good luck.

Commento di 308906

Well , maybe I got lucky , maybe they lowered the drop rate who knows , but after only a half an hour it dropped for me, maybe 50- 60 kills or so

GL farmers

Commento di Mangea

Got it on my warrior (68) while doing some quest. When I looked it up, I felt really lucky with the recipe having >2% dropchance :)

Commento di Thaerun

I got this on my second kill. I feel kind of bad looking at all these people who spent hours farming it... but...

Is it possible that some of these recipes had their drop rates buffed in Wrath sometime? I remember searching for two JCing recipes which were supposed to be really rare and I got them both within 5 minutes, and a friend was farming for some enchant recipe which also was supposed to be low, but again he got it really quickly.

I don't know but it's possible it's all just been buffed.

Commento di 08Jacob

Either the droprate has been increased or I was very lucky having it on my VERY first kill today. Landed and went inside only to discover that the mobs were outside so I went out and started killing prepared for a grind but.. Meh first mob.. Finally I have tried luck in World of Warcraft!

Commento di 649042

It took me a couple hundred kills but this finally dropped on my warrior today.

Commento di Quackie

Blizz has made certain Enchanting recipes, such as those that drop in Kara, a 100% droprate.

Alchemy recipes like these no longer have any use, except for those of us who like to complete our professions by having everything available.

With that being said, it would be EXCELLENT if Blizz would up the droprate, so we don't have to spend hours grinding old school misc stuff.

Commento di 68257

Just got this today from the Arcanists, as listed.

For anyone farming this, there is no need to kill the raiders. The arcanists seem to always spawn as other arcanists, while the raiders seem to always spawn as other raiders. I found it very easy to clear my way around Oshu'gun, then go herbing for a few minutes and come back and re-clear.

All in all, it only took me about 20 minutes to farm this recipe. Good luck!

Commento di mattaio

As of 5.04 (Sept 2012) this took me about 48 kills. I just kept circling around Oshu'gun in Nagrand and it dropped from a Vir'aani Archanist. They regenerated fast enough I did not have to wait for new ones to rez. I ignored the Vir'aani Raiders which were with them.

Commento di helver

This pattern dropped for me today (1/17/2013 - Patch 5.1) after 126 kills over several different farming sessions.

As others have mentioned, the Arcanista Vir'aanis can be found in a couple of specific spots - the three outcroppings of white (look like little white hills) to the Northwest (6 spawns), East (4 spawns) and Southwest (3 spawns) of Oshu'gun, and in three little camps right up against the walls of Oshu'gun at 1 o'clock (3 spawns), 3 o'clock (1 spawn), 7 o'clock (2 spawns). Don't bother going into Oshu'gun itself - they aren't there. They do not appear to share spawns with the Incursore Vir'aanis, so you can feel free to poach only the Arcanists.

While you're in the area, you may want to keep track of your collection of (Campione di Polvere di Cristallo di Oshu'gun and Campione di Polvere di Cristallo di Oshu'gun). You can turn in 10 powders to get a Emblema della Ricerca di Halaa. With two Halaa research tokens, you can get the Ricetta: Elisir della Scorza d'Acciaio sold in Halaa when your faction controls Halaa.

Commento di AngusBeef1

Got my recipe after 38 kills

Commento di revrob

Looted it in 20 minutes. I just kept doing circles.

Commento di Sluggzo

With the discovery of the Sun Darter Hatchling pet, which requires a bunch of major resistance consumables to acquire, prices on these have skyrocketed (currently 2500g each on my heavy pop server) and every one of the spawn points for the Arcanists was saturated by multiple 110s today. If you haven't farmed this recipe already, it'll probably be competitive for a while.

Commento di Krokar

This needs a buff in drop chance even if its a small 2-3% more. Its the worst of them all imo spent over 4 hours here today and less than 30min on the rest each.

Commento di Thannya

It took exactly 15 kills for me. Maybe I was only lucky or they increased the drop rate.

Commento di Leighh

Just started farming this today, got it after about a half hour, lost track of kills... camped one of the crystals around Oshu'gun, respawn rate was pretty quick.

Commento di Mathaylla

With so many people around Oshu'gun farming this recipe, I found it easiest to just keep flying in circles, close to the ground (so I don't drop to my death), and spamming this macro:

/tar Vir'aani Arcanist
/cast Fire Blast

(obviously this is on a fire mage; this would work with any instant-cast ability).
Periodically I stopped and killed groups of Vir'aani Raiders, since it did appear to trigger Arcanist spawns. The drop rate may have been buffed, I had the drop within 10 minutes.

Commento di Rico77

i got my after a few rounds around the area i did kill all there but just the blue ones dropt it

i think i spend like 30 - 40 mins like farm the area till i got it

so the 0,4 drop reate is not realy or i just got lucky xd but gl all :)

Commento di blademage727

If you're trying to grind for this for the Cucciolo di Drago Fatato Solare and your alchemist is a leather or mail armor class, I'd highly recommend using the leatherworking crafted legendary (either Trespolo della Vigilanza or Rifugio Eterno della Sentinella), as it makes it far easier to run around killing the mobs. My alchemist is a druid and even with access to instant flight form, it's simply easier being able to have an auto-shifted flight form that activates as soon as you leave combat. As long as you keep killing mobs in the area, you shouldn't have any problem keeping the 5 stacks up at all times. Just use an instant cast spell to one shot things (and if it's a free resource-generator, even better, i.e. Fuoco Lunare or ), loot and fly to the next mob or group of mobs.

Commento di JELISSA46

I made about 3 rounds killing the Vir'aani Arcanists by the Spirit Fields in Nagrand. My recipe dropped after about 60 kills, didn't take long. Coords. (35.13 / 63.34)

Commento di Penaloppe

Here is what I dropped while farming only Arcanista Vir'aani for Ricetta: Pozione Maggiore della Difesa dall'Arcano.

149 x Tessuto di Telafatua
26 x Campione di Polvere di Cristallo di Oshu'gun
6 x Acqua Draenoriana Purificata
5 x Fontina di Garadar
2 x Pozione Eccellente di Cura
2 x Lama Deteriorata
1 x Berretto dei Limombroso
1 x Bracciali di Cuoio Decomposto
1 x Pergamena dell'Agilità VI
1 x Pantaloni a Piastre Deteriorate
1 x Spalletti di Cuoio Decomposto
1 x Formula: Incanta Scudo - Parata
1 x Cinturone del Razziatore
1 x Guanti di Maglia Corrosa
1 x Stivali a Piastre Deteriorate
1 x Ascia Erosa
1 x Pergamena dell'Intelletto VI
1 x Giubba dei Limombroso
1 x Armatura di Cuoio Decomposto
1 x Stivali del Nebbioso
1 x Ricetta: Pozione Maggiore della Difesa dall'Arcano

If I do some quick calculations based on the number of Tessuto di Telafatua since the drop rate is 67% for 1-3 Tessuto di Telafatua (2 in average).
I got the Ricetta: Pozione Maggiore della Difesa dall'Arcano after 111 kills. ((149/2)/0,67) (Drop rate of 0,9%)

Commento di Leannis

Took me approx 210 kills before the recipe dropped. :/

Commento di Apoletta

248 arcanists for it to drop. Only think of note I got was a Dragon Wing Blade 2h sword I didn’t have in my appearances yet, but had been wanting. It’s the black version of the orange colored Doombringer.

Commento di Apoletta

Commento di drock80

so...it took me one kill. one. recipe dropped like i had just slapped the taste out of its mouth

Commento di Fidget232

Its items like this that make me want Blizzard to put in a new item that is really hard to craft, but gives you a really high boost to loot table drops of much older content for like 1 minute. Make it worth a load of new expansion resources that are much easier to farm at current content and let people get stuff like this much easier.

Commento di Breakability

Just wanted to share my experience - as an alchemist and in less than 10 kills I got my major arcane protection recipe. Took less than 2 minutes. I went from one crystal formation to the second in about a minute, I didn't even need to go to the main body of the crystal.

I'm not sure if this is representative of the drop rate, but since it seems that this only drops for alchemists I just wanted to put it out there that it may not be as low as described for anyone interested in farming for this recipe.

Commento di ARarityUS

can confirm recipe dropped for my alchemist in less than 20 kills today. happy hunting!

Commento di Wallstone

130 kills. Slow respond rate. Kill the raiders if you are having bad luck as they share a respawn point. Ended up getting the recipe for Insane STR while farming.
