These days everyone is busy with WoTLK. But still one of the best sellers in the Auction House is the Primals. Any Elemental Primal is priced high in the AH and this is a great way to rack up a couple of WoW gold.
Each Primal has its own farming spot. Most Primal farmers want to keep this a secret but I am here to guide you on the best spots to farm for these. For this first part I’ll be discussing the spots for Primal Earth, Water and Fire.
Let’s start off with the Primal Earth, which is probably the easiest Primal to farm if you’re a miner. If you’re not a miner then go to the Southwestern part of Nagrand and grind on the Earth Elementals found there. Their name is Shattered Rumblers and their level ranges from 66 to 67. Their drop rate for Mote of Earth is around 20% therefore you should be able to collect around 3 to 4 Primal Earths in an hour.
If you’re looking for Primal Fire then go to the Throne of Kil’jaedan located at Northeastern area of the Hellfire Peninsula. Here you can find lots of fire elementals that would drop Motes of Fire. What’s nice about this spot is that the mobs spawn when their numbers are low. The downside is that this is a heavily farmed area and a daily quest spot. You should farm here during off peak.
For Primal Water you have two choices. The first choice would be grinding the Shimmerscale Eels at the Slimyr Lake in the Terokkar Forest. They have a decent drop rate for Motes of Water but the downside is that the farming would be done underwater. To fully maximize your farming potential, you must have underwater breathing potions with you. If you have 380 Fishing Skill then you can opt to fish for the motes around Nagrand. This would be a bit tedious because you need to fly around Nagrand and look for Pure Water nodes. This option should only be taken if there’s a crowd in the Slimyr Lake.
Primal farming in the Outlands is a profitable way of earning easy gold in the World of Warcraft. Next time I’ll be discussing the farming spots for Primal Air, Mana, Shadow, and Life. That way you’ll have lots of alternative in making WoW gold. This way if a certain spot is crowded you’ll have other options to choose from.
