The mote extractor is for extracting motes (hence the name), you use special goggles http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=30318 to see the dust clouds that suck up motes, motes are used for everything in the expansion so it should be a bit of a money maker!

Commento di Magmy

You can also see the clouds if you have the Warlock Detect Lesser Invisibility buff on you.

Commento di divinebaboon

The goggles only provides the "tracking" of the motes on your minimap... you can see the motes without the goggles just fine.

Commento di 17135

This tool is used to extract motes from gas clouds just like the description says.
There are gas clouds in Zangarmarch that gives mote of life, there are ones in Netherstorm that gives mote of mana and there are clouds in Shadowmoon Valley that gives mote of shadow.
Only the ones in Netherstorm requires the "Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles" to be seen. You can detect them without the goggles when they are near since they give you mana every second. Though you have to be able to see them to use the mote extractor on them.

Commento di 4289

You can not detect or see the arcane vortex mana clouds in netherstorm in any way at all without the goggles, if you take off the goggles you wont get the mana ticks and more and you wont even see thme on mobs near it, it's completely undetedctable without goggles.
I have not seen any kind of tracking on minimap either with the goggles that seems to be some myth, if blizzard doesnt increase the amount of clouds or something this is just worthless.

You can easily cllect mote of life(one of the most worthless motes in game) in Zangarmarsh with this tool, You can also collect the motes of shadow(the absoluttely most worthless in game) in Shadowmoon Valley.

With goggles on and if you fly around Netherstorm looking carefully everywhere you might be happy to find 1 cloud of mortes of mana that gives 4-5 of them every 20-30min or so. This makes the goggles and this mote extractor one of the most pointless creations there is in game since you can just kill mobs and gain a lot more motes a lot faster in the time it tkes to find them.

Commento di Enthyriel

Hunter's Flare and 'of Second Sight'-helm from the Shadowmoon quest line cannot reveal the mana vortexes in Netherstorm although they have a 'Detect Invis'-effect as well.

Commento di 36405

Don't care so much about how to track them, athough that would be wonderful if they showed up like hunter's tracking. I just can't find any of these clouds. I'm almost regreting making this potentially awsome money making device.

Commento di Zeratul

I've been searching for these mana clouds all over netherstorm with the"Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles" ofc and couldn't find any. Any1 know where they spawn and do I need to be close to them to detect I was just flying around and nothing.

Commento di Parmald

If anyone even thinks they can make money on this device, you're WRONG. Infact the only thing it does is taking up bagspace.
Of casual use. you may be lucky enough to get one whole Primal Mana out of this per month if you play every day and fly around at the given locations these cloads are located at ALOT.

I've had engineering for one year and I've neer really used any of the gadgets excep the keyed one, like transportation trinket and etc.
Now I've switched to herbalism, and the gold keeps flowing in - excellent combo with mining :)

Commento di Tsusaka

Just a quick note on Bodahem's post:

Flare & other "Detect Stealth" effects does exactley that; detects stealth.

To detect invisibility, you will need "Detect Invisibility", aka warlock buff or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23762#c0z , the object in question here.
(Note: I can only speak for warlock buff though. I don't know the limits of the engineered item)

Commento di 40145

Are these gas clouds always in the same spots, or do they drift around?

Commento di 41689

This just in: "Stealth" and "Invisibility" are two different abilities. Hence the different names.

Therefor, if an ability says "removes Stealth" then it removes stealth, and not invisibility... Unless otherwise noted.

Commento di 57042

How many motes are received per extraction?

Commento di 60566

If you have a decent video card, set your enviroment, whether, texture and some other details to high. I dont know about others but it made a HUGE difference and i can easily see lots of vortexes now.

Commento di 31926

I've found this to be very useful together with mining in Netherstorm.

A few extra Primal Mana's every hour gives quite a boost farming. I'm gonna post routes and G/h as soon as I've evaluated to the max.

Commento di 29281

I just wanted to comment more on the gas clouds themselves. I've done some extensive research on these clouds, trying to get a better handle on how they function. Since I was levelling an alt through Zangamarsh, I paid special attention to the 'life' clouds/nodes. I would expect clouds in other zones behave in a similar way.

-Overall these gas nodes can be looked at like a herbalism node, they spawn in a SET LOCATION, based on the number of active nodes in a given area (much like herb and ore nodes) Once harvested, they will respawn sometime later, and if harvested too quickly, they will yeild diminished returns.
-I was able to confirm that even though the gas nodes appear to 'float around', they only do so in a limited area. (no more than a 3x3 area for co-ords) Basically they pat around like an NPC mob. I left a node uncollected and checked back on it regularly and it would always be in the same 3x3 area.
-These nodes do NOT despawn, but stay active until harvested. They will continue to float around their spawn points. They occasionally can pass through objects and terrain.
-Much like herbs, there is likely a limit to the number of these nodes that can be active at once. In one study, I was able to find 5 nodes active in Zangamarsh at the same time, which meant I was able to harvest 24 motes in 10 minutes. (bear in mind I knew exactly where these gas nodes were since I was studying their behaviour at the time. Running around to find them will obviously take longer.)
-During my study I found 10 unique location coordinates where the nodes spawned in Zangamarsh, although I am sure there are more since I have gaps on my map. I found the biggest concentration in the west end of the zone by the Orges (Hewn Bog) and Daggerfen Village, north of Zabra'Jin. At one point there were four active nodes in this area, and of the 10 nodes I recorded, 6 were located in the area bordering 28 to 38 (east-west) and 20 to 60 (north-south).
-Finding the nodes is best done with detail effects set to HIGH in your video settings. This will cause most gas clouds to stick out like sore thumbs.
-One interesting effect with mana motes is that when you are near a mana gas cloud you will hear a 'tingling' sound, much like what you would hear when you are near a mana totem. You will also see sparkles on your avatar, and on the NPCs nearby. (There may be a mana gain effect, but my character has no mana bar)

What does this all mean? Well it means that you CAN in fact 'farm' for these motes, but it will take a good deal of effort to make up a map of locations. If a gatherer style mod was made for these gas nodes, it would be a lot easier to run around and ckeck locations.

However, the rate of return is what one has to question. You need to figure if it would take you longer to just farm mobs (like Bog lords) for these nodes. With an epic flying mount it could likely be quite efficient to farm nodes, since you can cover the terrain quite rapidly.

Farming for these nodes (in general) is likely best done in cases where the motes are in demand, yet aren't that easy to farm. (perhaps shadow now since the nerf) The other situation when farming nodes can be profitable is when you have mining or herbalism, and you can work it in to your farming routes. I haven't yet had the time to study any other zones, but the concept of these nodes should be the same in both Shadowmoon Valley (for shadow motes) and in Netherstorm (for mana motes).

Commento di Whitefyre

I have been in the area you stated. did all you asked.. still not seeing them.. /cry

would you happen to have co ordinates?

Commento di Cobra

But with all this science....the old find and kill method is better ^^...no clouds no complications...just Spot Kill Loot...so let the engeneering and get "primitive"! ^^

Commento di flitschbirne

Got one in Zangarmarshes at 24,30

Commento di 41236

If anyone has made another map for other places for the vortexes it would be awesome to have them posted. The one above for Zangarmarsh was perfect. I was only able to hit 4 clouds as someone else was farming them too but got close to 2 primals out of it.

Commento di 68185

A mage using invisibility can see the mana clouds in netherstorm, too bad i'm no engineer.

Commento di 18499

As of Patch 2.3 there are now clouds in Nagrand that yield motes of air. Should make farming these just a little bit easier now.

Commento di Latreau

What i wonder is, can you use the Furious goggles aswell for this purpose?

Commento di 64929

In patch 2.3 the goggle that allows you to see the clouds in netherstorm will instead show the location o nearby gas clouds at ur minimap.

Commento di 17486

This is what you will need to make this extractor:

40 x Motes of Life
16 x Fel Iron Ore
1 Thorium Ore
1 Arcane Crystal
1 Ironweb Spider Silk

I was at 310 Engineering when I started to make this extractor, and it got me to 313.

Commento di 52665

air = harvested from "Windy Cloud"
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=24222 Map Here

mana = harvested from "Arcane Vortex"

shadow = harvested from "Felmist"
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=17407 Map Here

water = harvested from "Swamp Gas"
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=17378 Map Here

While this map was true for Swamp Gas when it yielded "Motes of Life", I am hoping it is still correct now that they yield "Motes of Water" post patch 2.3

enjoy,
~raab.rexxar~

Commento di Xarlequin

Since after 2.3 was released you can see the gas clouds on the minimap making them far easier to spot, and making this item far better. I've just been flying around shadowmoon valley for max an hour doing quests and I've found 6 coulds and gained 3 primal shadows.

I love this!

Commento di Rianne

Any maps for Fire or Life post 2.3?

Commento di pandaman

Perhaps one of the best Engineering items there is now, maybe nobody else is farming these, but the Nagrand Gas Clouds spawn rate is very fast, in just under an hour I got 9 Primal Air, that's amazing to be honest, especially since I'm just finding them while farming Adamantite Ore. Definately worth getting now, pays for itself in materials very quickly.

Commento di 65742

This was excellent, however as of 11-27-07, it seems Blizzard has really nerfed the gas clouds in Nagrand. I rarely see them, whereas before I always saw them.

Commento di Feinyr

Since the release of s3, it seems that the Nagrand cloud respawnrate is heavily nurfed or bugged. Many Players report that they havent seen any until now. If this is intendet, engineering is going to be again a "non profit" Job.

Commento di GokieKS

The spawning of the gas clouds has definitely been nerfed. Since S3, I've yet to see a single gas cloud in Nagrand, Zangarmarsh, Netherstorm, or SMV.

I had a conversation with a GM about gas clouds that were in inaccessible locations (notably in Nagrand, where I've come across several which were near a floating island but out of range), and his response was the good old "we're aware of the issue". Whether this change is them trying to fix it, or just an unannounced nerf, who knows.

Commento di kibeth

Blizzard is aware of, and expected to fix the clouds in 2.3.2.

Commento di 41236

In 2.3 they put the gas clouds on your mini map. Its a yellow dot like if you were scanning for herbs or mining nodes. Pretty neat.

But I think they only appear if you have a helm that shows you vortexes. But I can see them with out one..it probably wont show up on the mini map.

Commento di entropicdragon

Note that if you try to use this to extract a cloud but your inventory is full, you will get an error, NO motes, and the cloud will disappear! So be careful and make sure you have an open slot.

Commento di 95219

I'd like to complain that there is not enough primal fire in the world and the mining nodes just don't do the trick. Perhaps my opinion will change when I'm mining nethercite, but until then I say they should make clouds of fire in BEM or perhaps Hellfire Peninsula.

Commento di chimera

The cloud "nerf" was a bug, now they respawn again as intended.

Commento di Krakatau

Tip for farmers: In Nagrand some of te clouds are on floating isles in the air. Usually they are over the edge so you need to go to the very edge of isle to reach them. Be sure you carry http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=12616 Parachute Cloak with you so you don't die if you fall over the edge.

Commento di 43530

Formerly, this item use to be a complete waste of time...

Back when TBC came out, and this was craftable... Gas clouds were only found in Zangarmarsh and Netherstorm. However, their spawn rates were very low, and you HAD to have a special pair of engineer goggles to be able to see them to begin with! The end result was that the two items combined were a very expensive investment... which yielded poor returns. (You'd have to run around the zone wearing the goggles, and if you found one or two of these clouds, you'd get maybe 4 motes total)

HOWEVER, recently there's been substantial buffs to this whole setup. The gas clouds are now available in Zangarmarsh, Netherstorm, Nagrand, and Shadowmoon Valley and provide Life, Mana, Air, and Shadow Motes, respectively. Not only that, they are VISIBLE at all times. The detection 'buff' available on special engineer goggles were modified to add markers for clouds on the Minimap, so it is useful to have these goggles on, but NOT required. These clouds provide anywhere from 3-5 motes per extraction, so its decent.

Note that there's A LOT of spawns for clouds as of 2.3 too... you can see the other posts for maps with some of the nodes. HOWEVER, there's a respawn issue atm... see this forum link.

Here's the direct quote from the Blizz Poster Nethaera (since that thread may eventually disappear):
"Hello everyone. i just thought I'd drop in to let you know that it has been confirmed by QA that respawns of gas clouds are not working properly at current.

This is slated to be fixed in the next patch (2.3.2)."

Commento di Dorkfish

Quick note. If you are going to "farm" a cloud make sure your inventory is not full when you do it. If it is, the cloud will dissapear and you will receive no loot.

Let it be known that this baby can be used while in combat. So if you don't mind taking a few hits to the ol' keister, you can run into a group of mobs, extract your motes, and run out. Do a victory dance if you want afterwards. =D

Let it also be known that I was doing this on a 64 Paladin, decked out in plate. I don't think it would be a wise idea for a clothie the same level to run in between 4-5 mobs and test it out.

Something to keep in mind, this item is not soulbound at all. I made one on my first character I leveled through Outland. Now, a year later, I'm leveling another engineer and I was able to just reuse the one I'd made the first time. It was nice being able to extract motes from the second I set foot into Zangarmarsh.

Commento di 27876

air = harvested from "Windy Cloud" (in Nagrand, after 2.3 hits). These can actually spawn on the floaty islands in the sky as well.

Didn't get much coverage above and was annoying me for ages, thought I'd just point it out again.

Commento di 152444

definetly worth the 100 to 120g spent on the mats (4 primal lifes, 2 fel iron casings, 2 fel iron bolts, and 1 delicate arcanite converter)

Commento di 167335

I've been averageing 3 to 6 motes a gas cloud. But have noticed a very slow respawn rate on the gas clouds. Alot quicker than farming motes the way everyone else has too.

Commento di 177631

It is easy to make 1,000g with this device in a single day, or even in a couple of hours. I farm Nagrand at night when the population is much less. I mine and engineer the clouds, and make anywhere from 60-80 ore (mainly because im not after the ore) and 12-15 primal airs. On my server primal airs sell anywhere from 30-45g and are in fairly high demand. The majority of all my money comes from this primal air business. I don't even do dailys anymore, as just farming nagrand for motes and ore is way more profitable, not to mention non-dps classes who struggle or is slow at doing dailys will benefit by the lack of combat in making money this way.

Commento di 178571

They should rename this "Money Maker".

Commento di 170315

Something to keep in mind: If you learn to create this then give up engineering, or just lose the pattern, you can NOT get the recipe back.

it's not like the LW tortoise scale patterns, the NPCs won't teach you to create them if you lose the pattern

Luckily, it doesn't bind to you, so you can use it and still throw it on an alt. or, in my case, buy one from AH because the recipe wasn't available.

Great Profit as long as you stay in Outlands a bit, I'm helping my Hunter friends level in Nagrand / BEM / Terokkar and I've raked in about 10 priamls total, this thing is great!

Shadowmoon - Shadow?
Netherstorm - ?

Just want to say thanks for the map providing locations in Nagrand. I have only the normal flying mount, not epic, and I was able to harvest 9 primal airs in a little under 3 hours. My friend - a well equipped dps warrior was farming airs on elemental plateau, and only got 5 in this time.

If you have your inventory full and extract a cloud, it will despawn and u'll get only error message 'Your inventory is full', no motes.

I'm able to track both clouds and ore on my minimap, incase anyone was wondering if they should switch out their engineering goggles. I'm assuming you can track other objects as well, beasts, treasure, ect.

Get this quest asap. The bog monsters drop motes of life that are one of the matts to make it. The thing pays for itself and way more!

Are there gas clouds in Northrend? And if yes, does Mote Extractor work on them or we'll need a new one? I'm asking because the new Wotlk Engi BoP helms have the "equip: detect clouds on minimap" so there has to be a reason for that.

Commento di LordVarbaro

Zapthrottle Mote Extractor is still useful, there are gas clouds in Northrend as well. The old TBC Goggles are still working.
Maybe there are more kinds of these clouds.

Two of them are:
Steam Clouds(Air/Fire) Map
Artic Clouds(Water/Air) Map.

On a different note: the robotic mobs in The Geyser Fields can be mined by Engineers. Usually they drop vendor junk, but occasionally they drop useful engineering parts like Volatile Blasting Trigger

steam clouds:
Found in: borean tundra and sholazar basin

cinder clouds
Found in: dragonblight, sholazar basin
contains: 3-4 crystalized fire

arctic clouds
Found in: howling fjord, dragonblight, zul'drak (confirm?)
Contains: crystalized Air and crystalized Water

some others i forgot, will update as i find more

Commento di 37999

This works on new clouds in Northrend, too. You don't need a new version of it, and the same tracking from engineering helmets applies. You get crystalized elements rather than motes this time.

Commento di 255926

And the mote extractor is again for use in Wotlk game Client.I can say that the Spawning points are simple and the spawning time is like 5-10 mins for each cloud.I also want to say that its different from TBC clouds.There is only 3 types of cloud in Wotlk i saw from all Northrend.But i also want to say that it not drops as they made clouds.For example you can see Steam Clouds in Fizzlecranks airstrip place.There is 3 spawns there.If you use the extractor u ll get 1-4 Crystallized Fire and 1-4 Crystallized Water into your backpack.All the 3 clouds on mixed areas at northrend only can give fire-air-water.Thats sucks but better then nothing!. ....
Ofc dont forgot to check your inventory if you hav 3 empty specs for all reasons.If you dont got any space in your inv. The cloud will remove and u cant get any of the loots.

Commento di 89295

This extractor can be used to extract clouds in Northerend. Steam Clouds (Fire, Water), Cinder Clouds (Fire, Air) and Arctic Clouds (Water, Air).

Commento di MoonLite

Zapthrottle Mote Extractor can also be used in Northrend to extract 1-6 crystallized elements from gasclouds.
You can spot them on the map by using the lvl70 or lvl80 engineering headpiece, and with Belt-Clipped Spynoculars.
With a zoomed out minimap you can see the pins almost as soon as they come in range of your minimap (although depending on machine and connection they might pop up as late as flying over them).

Arctic Cloud: Crystallized Air + Crystallized Water
seen in: Howling Fjords, Dragonblight, Storm Peaks (pinned map)
Cinder Cloud: Crystallized Fire

I just recently made this thing while leveling engineering and I must say I am disappointed in it. I don't know how it worked in BC but in Wrath it doesn't work very well. By that I mean that if you expect this to be a money maker you will be disappointed. It should be seen like all the other engineering gadgets. Fun, maybe make a coin or two, but it is not a substitute for mining or any other profession.

The clouds don't have many spawn points, they are far apart, and they don't respawn fast. This gadget is perfect to use when you are out mining or questing or doing something else and happen to stumble upon a cloud.

But if you are in need of some eternals fast there are much better ways to get them than this gadget.

Oddly enough, this makes the "red mist" in Deepholm's Crimson Expanse show up as a red dot on the minimap. The mote extractor has no effect on the mist, however.

Commento di voskopoula

Unfortunately this Red Mist in Deepholm doesn;t do a thing with zapthrotle extractor. It could be a cloud that shouldn;t be in the game, just because they removed the other clouds before the release for some reason..

Where is all the clouds in Cataclysm?

Anyone know if Blizzard plans on bringing clouds back for engineers here in Cataclysm? Seems like there is a bigger need considering that the new "Eternals" cost 15 "motes" instead of 10 they did in BC and WotLK.

Commento di Serelitz

Has this item been forgotten in Cataclysm? I was hoping to sneak in some extra volatiles while levelling my engineering alt :(

Commento di Sieghardt

A brand new model might come soon.

As of this writing there are still clouds that are unreachable. The one in Nagrand next to the Ring of Trials above a floating island at 68, 56 is one I had trouble with. It is above the trees on this island and I tried jumping out of my flying machine in a parachute in an attempt to farm it. You get the message that you can't do that while moving. I even tried climbing the tree to reach it, still wasn't high enough. Of course you can't farm while mounted so that was out of the question. Wrote a ticket.

The Cataclysm Equivalent of this item is the Electrostatic Condenser.

Commento di Bronzeleaf

Does anyone know if this item is still useful? I just made one on my engineer, went to storm peaks, Gas clouds are not showing up on my mini-map and I am not able to target them either. Do I need to have mining as my second profession? I don't, I have Blacksmithing as well as engineering on my character.

This item detects the Musk Clouds produced by the Yak Selvatico di Tong Longs that you try to capture during the quest:Scegliere uno yak.

Any MoP gas cloud sightings or new model?

Commento di Gormie

Useless in WoD and Pandaria...not even worth crafting anymore.

Commento di Bramikar

If you're farming motes heavily, I recommend downloading the addon gathermate2. It not only marks the exact spot on your world map where you received the mote, but also shows a picture of what mote it was. You can map out more accurate routes the more you farm a zone. I also have it for mining. It is an amazing addon that you can customize very personally for each alt.

Commento di JusticarCien

I've compiled a guide for anyone still using this as a method for farming Motes from the gas clouds, you can see all the different kinds and what you need to look out for here: https://youtu.be/-CB6R8TwurQ?t=277
