I have found that if you get to the area where the Seabound Mystics are supposed to be but only see the Seabound Soldiers/Officers, wait until the next hour begins. For example, if it is 4:49 PM server time and there are only soldiers and officers around, wait for it to hit 5:00 PM. Chances are you'll see a bunch of Seabound Mystics spawn. That's how I got my essence. Low drop rate but still got it.

Commento di mastermysth

Found the Mystics during the day (14.30). It seems the Mystics replace the Soldiers.

Commento di Mattey

So to get the Essence of pur spirit you need to be there during the day? and servers run on the local time so if you happen to not be able to logg in during the day you are royaly fked right up da butt.

Commento di KzanolNS

If you cannot find the mystics try https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/server-hop -- this addon made it possible instantly :). The mystics are randomly spawned every hour it seems, it has nothing to do with the time of day/night. On second or third hop I found them on another realm.

Commento di ajak80

Turned up at 11.45 server time (Rvencrest US) after 3 days of regular checks and they were up. First thing I noticed was that there was also Seabound Anagogues up at the same time. Only took 9 kills to get the Essence of Pure Spirit

Commento di Ifni

I found four of these spawned around 28.5, 32.4. They respawned after about 10 mins. This was at 0348 and 0359 (am) server time. No officers or sailors in sight. Lots of Seabound Anagogues around (didn't drop the quest item).

Commento di Knightyme

1pm Medivh server

The wisps seemed to turn into necronic statues, the seabound officers ands co did not turn into mystics. Spend 15 min killing all sorts no mystics spawned.

Update - 7:50am to 8:10am server I encountered Mystics and assorted other mobs, after a dozen or so mystics the Pure Spirit dropped

Commento di drowningdog

I just tried to find the mystics (6pm server time) and nothing but soldiers & wisps for me -- guess the mystics knew i was coming for them.

Commento di aywy

I don´t know if this is related or not. Basically, I was looking for Mistico Marittimo around that place for an hour but nothing. I queued for random normal dungeon and got invited for Vault of the Wardens. After completing that and porting back to Blind of Marshlands, Mistico Marittimo´s were everywhere. Killed like 10 of them and Essenza dello Spirito Puro dropped.
Realm time was: 12:41 (Outland)

Commento di KneezMz

I think you can not do this with group, the chances to drop is less then without group.

Commento di PotWorld

For 2 days I've checked the area for the seabound mystics and nothing. I've checked 4 times a day, on the hour and the 15th minute of the hour and still nothing. Please help, i really want that essence swapper lol

Commento di 1469816

I've been killing these for so long I got Fascione della Pazienza di Telubis and still no essence.

Edit: It might have been because I was realm hopping to a raid though.

Commento di Thewhoracle

West coast on highmountain there. They were respawning. Albeit slowly, I was always able to find some to kill. Still 0/40 or worse. Trying again tomorrow. (why such a stupid drop rate for a quest)

Commento di k4tnip

I waited for several hours on my server and got nothing. I found switching servers was my best way of finding them as well. Good luck!

Commento di pacman323

finally found him and kill after more 3 days of waiting for this mob
i need to kill 12 of them to have my item but yes i had it

Commento di jackhammerEUFW

The main problem I had wasn't so much getting the item but finding the Mystics.

There are seemingly of mobs there, and the Mystics seem to be about 1 in 20. I think I got it on the 20th kill, but I must have killed over 50 mobs trying to get to them...

Commento di Kosstheboss

It isn't time sensitive, it is just bugged. Abandon the quest and pick it back up. Go immediately to the spawn point and it will be littered with the mystics. Had three different hunters try it after I did, same result.

Commento di sickunit

Used Realm Assist at around 1545hrs. Kill around 50 of them. Finally got the drop after killing everything non stop for 30 minutes. Must have killed 100's of mobs for it. Stupidly low drop rate.

Commento di oldesole1

They just showed for me, appearing to take the place of soldiers and officers.

Only thing that stands out this time is that it was raining.

I believe that every other time that I attempted to find them that it was not raining.

I tried all other tips in this thread.

Commento di Eonarion

Uploaded a screenshot where I found the Seabound Mystic, and coincidentally as others have noted as well, it was RAINING. Should note that as long as I was in the zone, even after the hour change some interesting things happened;
-It stopped raining, the Seabound Soldiers spawned at the same time as Mystics, thus I had Seabound Mystics and Soldiers spawning at the same time, something I think was because I was in the zone, and did not leave before the "hour change". (Looted my essence after about 20 mobs, got really lucky, right after the "hour change" happened.

Commento di lycanthropic

They could have at least made the other mobs in the area grant some miniscule amount of rep or something so this wasn't a complete waste of time camping...

Commento di GwendEmlin

Of course when I showed up and there weren't any mystics, I ran right here to see what was going on. So for 2 days I would try to come back when the hour changed and finally at 10 am they spawned on Earthen Ring. I got the drop after about 20 minutes. I had to change Hati into Gara. Good luck everyone!

Commento di Talbotsgt

Found them at 6am EST.

Commento di 1656393

Just want to contribute how I managed to find these NPC. Like many others that have posted the best way to find them if they are not up is to realm hop.

You don't have to download any addons although they do help:

Open Premade group

Go to Questing

Look for any groups that are doing Quests/World Quests in Highmountain

Apply and hope they accept

I was lucky to find it on my first server hop and got the item within 5 minutes.

Commento di Stripe

I remembered an important lesson today. If you server hop to get a quest item, make sure the group isnt a raid group. I wasted almost two hours of my life killing Mystics before I realised it was a raid group. Regular quest items don't drop in raid groups, WoW 101. I can't believe I forgot that.

Ten minutes after dropping the raid group the item dropped.

Commento di OrbitStorm

Farming these mobs for the Essence was easily my worst experience of this expansion and quite likely my worst in the last few (yes, including Draenor).

I spent six hours on my own realm and on others, trying to locate these Mystics before finally finding them in a random group at ~2am. I just now looted the Essence after killing ~50 or more of these Mystics.

In short, Blizzard gated a quest objective like nothing I've seen before, with the exception of the Legendary ring quest and this is for something purely cosmetic.

Ridiculous.

Commento di photo238

Ok so here is how I finally did it.

1. Download the Server Hop add-on.
2. Find a server that has the Seabound Mystics up (Even if it's a raid).
3. Pull one of the Mystics and while you have aggro leave the raid/party.

You should stay in the realm and be able to farm the Mystics until you find it.

Make sure you also kill the Seabound Anagogues as they share spawn points with the Mystics.

I tried this before having the add-on but it would just phase me back into my own realm so it seems the add-on keeps you there somehow.

Good Luck!

Commento di 1695345

I have server hop. And I've been farming these things for 2 hours for the essence.

Commento di Previdencia

I just kept joining random groups (automatically created by World Quests Addons), until I found mystics at a server. Killed less than 10 to get item drop.

Commento di Tydfil

server hopped about 90 times, killed 15 mystics, no item. stupid drop and spawn rates

Commento di Parkernorman26

Blizzard needs to fix the bug where these mobs don't drop the item.

Commento di zekraf

Ive server hopped so m,any times. never seen 1

Commento di Eziair

Not a single one found on Silvermoon atm......

Feel like Blizz is "oh, you don't like the look of Hati? Well were going to make you bloody work to change his look." with us BM Hunters.

edit: 2 hours later Seabound Mystic's are up. Me and 5 other hunters farming. Thankfully I got lucky and got the Essence of Pure Spirit in 10 kills

Commento di Ersley

Didn't even see these mobs spawned until the sun was setting in game. Until then the entire swamp was nothing but Seabound Captains.

Once the sun went down they were everywhere and I got the item within about 15 kills.

Commento di Saellea

Posting this because I haven't seen it listed.

If you happen to use NPC scan you can put in the Seabound Mystic's NPC ID # (102231) and NPC scan will alert you just like any other rare.

Go into NPC scans settings by typing /npcscan or through the game menu > Interface > addons and input the number under the custom tab.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Commento di Noobiedoobie

I used the NPC scan method posted by Saellea. However I do have some additional instructions, firstly download NPC Scan if you don't have it already. Then wait until you are almost ready for a wow break.

From Saellea post...
1. Go into NPC scans settings by typing /npcscan or through the game menu > Interface > addons and input the number 102231 under the custom tab.

My extra instructions:
2. Place yourself somewhere within the quest target area (highlighted on your map) but not close enough to any npc's to agro them.
3. Make sure your computer is within earshot of your tv, crank up the volume if need be.
4. Go get your favorite snack/beverage, go sit in front of your tv, watch your favorite show, drink your favorite beverage, eat your favorite snack.
5. When NPC scan screams at you put down all food and beverages (for safety reasons), run to computer, kill about 10 mystics, get item, hand it in and go back to the tv, food and beverages.

Hope this helps.

Later edit: I watched about half an hour of the cricket during which I had to modify my position twice as I could hear something eating my face off because I wasn't quite far enough out of the path of some npc's. If you don't get disturbed by pathing npc's like me and you don't want to keep checking set a timer somewhere so that you can hear it (eg phone) to avoid getting logged out of the game. Not sure of the time it takes to get logged out but hopefully you'll get your mystics before that happens.

I can also confirm that the mystics are there only when it is raining. No rain when I parked myself, raining = mystics appear, while entering info on Wowhead it stopped raining = no more mystics. I'm keen to hear from others whether this was a coincidence or if others have found this as well.

Commento di jwyoo123

Just added screenshot to prove that no raining is required for mystics to spawn!

Commento di Sututiv

Can't find any of them. Do they have a certain spawn time. Like on what realm time do they spawn. Do they spawn somewhere to 9:00-12:00?

Commento di MonkeyJunkie

Hi there extremely confused. I have been trying to find these Seabound mystics with no luck. That I get, others have the issue as well. BUT people are saying they "replace soldiers" or "officers." I haven;t seen any of those either...

I am seeing Seabound ravagers, shambling corpses, some other undead I don;t remember, banshees and these HIGHLY annoying mobs called "Weeping Necroliths" who spam a fear attack that causes either me or my pet or Hati to run all over the place and chain aggro the whole zone half the time. I can interrupt 2 of these attacks but the CD isn't short.

I feel like I am doing something wrong here. Any advice appreciated.

Commento di ABloodElfPaladin

It's seriously unfortunate that the spawn rate on these encourages server hopping, but that was the only way I could get the hunter quest done in a timely manner. The other three items were so simple it seemed like this was out of place.

Commento di Kaimeline

Rain isn't a factor. Been popping on randomly in the zone, and rain/no rain, still haven't seen Mystics. Not a fan of the realm hopping, for me that skates too close to the stuff Blizz frowns on. So I'm avoiding that option.

Maybe they only spawn to make sammitches for the soldiers and officers.

If anything they should have simply made it a rare drop from any of the seabound.

Commento di Bongo2k

After 4 days of waiting they finally spawned on my server. There are currently shambling corpses, the demon hound things and soldiers/officers spawned, none of these are mutually exclusive.

The only things spawned that i have not seen before are the Seabound Anagogues. So keep an eye out for these guys and mystics should be around.

Commento di xylotism

This, strangely, took me exactly one Mystic kill.

Yeah... I'm gonna assume the droprate isn't 100%.

Commento di JumperBaltzer

Was searching on my own server for over an hour only to find on WoWHead that it was a weird spawn...so I followed someones advise and got the ServerHop add-on and used the macro
/run ServerHop_HopForward()

after about 4 or 5 hops I ended up on a server that was slap full of Mystics, which was a good thing because I had to kill about 12-15 of them before the Essence dropped.

Commento di siyrn

i thought the paladin quest involving having to fish up a blasted item was bad .. i was wrong, this is far more irritating.

Commento di ChrisIlves

First of all, thanks to everybody that cared to mention how they got the drop.

I followed the tactic mentioned above earlier:

Downloaded serverhop and got it on 5th hop. Good luck!

Commento di SpareSimian

With 7.3, you'll only be pulled to a new realm if the group leader of the group you join is in the same zone. So, when using Server Hop or a similar addon, only join groups in Highmountain. Don't pester groups in other zones, as it won't work.

Commento di Avaraen

If Mystics aren't up, try killing Seabound Soldiers. I found lots of Mystics up and they respawned as Soldiers. I left the area and came back, still all Soldiers, so I started killing them and they respawned as Mystics. The respawn was during a single hour (i.e., after 9am, before 10am), so it wasn't related to an hour change as some have theorised. Yes, this quest sucks; it's lame we have to wait to 110 to not look like everyone else, and that the drops and spawns are so screwy, but hopefully the alternating spawns are consistent for others.

Commento di mannyu78

7.3 No Addon Required - 10 mins

1) Go to Location on your map
2) Turn on Hunter Tracking - Track Undead
3) If you only See Seabound Officers and Soldiers: Go into Quest Finder and start joining Auto-Join groups to instance hop.
4) When you see Seabound Mystics and Anagogues, start killing mystics

It took me not even 10mins to find an instance, about 5-8 kills before it dropped.

Hope it helps

Commento di Laveida

Just thinking, can´t it be about the weather? I was waiting for it to spawn from 11:00 till 18:00 cheecking in every 30-40 mins without any luck (all the time foggy weather). Then I came around 18:30 and there were many of them and it was raining. I start farming for the quest and in the moment it stopped raining, all were gone, replaced by seabound soldiers.

Commento di Number6

If there is a lot of people around and your worried you'll miss the mystics, a simple macro can help assist with locating and targeting.

/target Seabound Mystic

Commento di jfoobar

Took just one realm hop to find them. I had to kill about 20 to get the drop.

Commento di Aytirios

So yea, fairly long after this was introduce. I hop between realms and find 3 different spawnset in the same area. One has banshees and zombies, another has the Seabound Soldiers and officers, and the third has the fel glowing Seabound Reavers and Rattling Soldiers. Very confusing spot to farm mobs in.

Commento di Xinterp

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE
The Essence Swapper does NOT work on the Hati you get from Storm Peaks!
It currently only works on the Artifact Weapon's Hati.
Refer to the following for more information: (Scambiatore d'Essenza)
I really hope this changes in the future, but as of now, no dice.

I farmed these for 1 week, a duration of 96 hours of my time were spent sitting there trying to verify anything.

Some things to note:

It appears that Seabound Officers did not despawn as previously stated
Spawns appear to change when servers restart
Premades don't exist since it's old content and Group Finder has been nerfed
Item droprate doesn't seem to be too bad, spawn however is terrible
Clearing the entire area does not reset the mobs, nor will it force spawn Mystics
Spawn timers don't appear to be hourly and just appears to be speculation

Please know that if you are doing this in BFA or any expansion post Legion, you WILL have a hard time doing this.

Things I suggest:

Make friends with your local shard's hunters and get a group chat going
Check spawns at server restart
If you find them, list your group in Questing under Highmountain

If people do these three things, they won't end up spending 40+ hours watching a screen like I did.

Commento di Frostymaine

This entire area appears to be on a 12 hour respawn timer of different NPCs. Eventually, the Seabound Mystics will spawn and there will be about 8 of them. Just keep killing until you get the drop!

G'Luck!

Commento di DarkRaffle

First of all, in SL prepatch, there is HOPE for all hunter & paladin (for some reason).

After waiting almost 4-5 multiple days, nothing spawned.

Here it's how:

Wait for the EU weekly reset 7:00 GMT
Use your Dalaran Heartstone
Fly to Felbane Camp, Highmountain
And Seabound Mythics are there on the first 30 minutes after the reset ONLY
Kill the mob Seabound Mytics and get your Item for the quest

Only way who worked for me in Ravencrest-EU.
Happy Hunting folks!

Commento di Versigh

**EDIT** After completing this quest I can confirm that, at least as of Shadowlands, the item from this does NOTHING to your pets. Hopefully this saves anyone from wasting their time like I did :) **

Here in Shadowlands trying to do this quest, because I haven't played my hunter in a while. I checked the place for the Mystics at 1 and 2 am, with no luck of a change in mobs. We can't cross realm phase the way we used to, BUT sometimes I forget we have Warmode on/off. So I went to Org as a last ditch effort, turning WM on and came back. EUREKA, the Mystics were up! Killed 20 or so, got my item, and went on my merry way. Don't forget about Warmode phasing! :)

Commento di Pezski

Since the last comment was so long ago... I spent 2 days parked at the spawn spot, logging in every fresh hour (that I was awake!), and seeing nothing but Seabound Soldiers, I can confirm that the Seabound Mystics DO still spawn. I had pretty much given up at that point, and was between quests on another toon. I thought I'd just pop in to check, and they were there! Around a dozen kills later, and I was the proud owner of the essence. I understand the essence swapper isn't useful anymore, but I didn't want the quest hanging around my lodge, haha!

Commento di Shunta77

As of this date, I can tell you I went from sitting on the overlooking rock in NON-WAR-MODE, hearthed to Dalaran, portal to Stormwind, switched to WAR MODE ON, back to Broken Isles, flew back to same rock I started at 5 min before, and POOF Mystics were EVERYWHERE. Took about 10 min killing them all to get quest item, but almost instant joy after DAYS of hanging around waiting on server resets.
Your weary eye mileage may vary, but for me it worked like a dream. Hearth back/get back to Stormwind, War Mode Off, back to the regularly scheduled insanity....

Commento di Burnhalo

Turn on war mode. Problem solved.

Commento di SerendipityLn42

As of November 30, 2023:
- RAIN: was in the area and noticed rain. Reloaded - none. Left area and returned - none.
- WAR MODE: turned on war mode and returned - none. Reloaded - none.
- REALM HOP: unable to do this anymore since have to find groups in the area and everyone is on DF. - NONE
- HOUR CHECK: after 3 consecutive hours, waited until top of the hour, left area, reloaded, etc - none.

At this point, the only thing I can think of is to wait until RIGHT AFTER the weekly reset.

Also, contacting support.

C'mon Blizz - help a hunter out here.
