Every farmer knows that the best place to get any crystallized elemental is Wintergrasp. But there are times that WG is too crowded. If you’re looking for Crystallized Earth then the best place to visit is Zul’Drak.
There’s an area in Zim’Rhuk where you can find Level 76 to 77 Elite Guardians of Zim’Rhuk. They have the same drop rate for Crystallized Earth as the Revenants in Wintergrasp. That means the Guardian of Zim’Rhuk has a 30% chance to drop the coveted item.
Don’t let their elite status scare you. At max level, you can easily bring their 33K HP to zero fast. They are soloable by any cast. Just watch out for Whammy, which is a watered down version of the Shaman’s Hex. Just to be sure it is advisable to have a PVP Trinket with you so that you can pop out of the Hex.
The Guardians of Zim’Rhuk are spaced just right to avoid unnecessary adds. You can go around the area with no problem. You can loot ten Crystallized Earths in less than two minutes. That means you can make one Eternal Earth every two minutes. What’s nice about the Guardians of Zim’Rhuk is that they would respawn when all the guardians are down.
You might be wondering why anyone would waste their time farming for something that’s considered the cheapest when compared to its other Elemental cousins. In my server Eternal Earth sells for 4 to 7 gold at any given time. That’s definitely low compared to Eternal Fire’s 20g a piece price tag.
What you need to do is to talk to a Jewel Crafter and Enchanter friends. You can ask your Jewel Crafter friend to make Stoneguard Band for you. It requires two Eternal Earths. Once you have a couple of Stoneguard Bands made, make an Enchanter friend to disenchant them for you. You can get two to five Infinite Dusts, one to two Greater Cosmic Essences or a Dream Shard.
If you average one Eternal Earth per two minutes, in an hour you can make 15 Stoneguard Bands. Depending on your server’s Auction House, you can get at around 100 to 400 gold for your effort. As you can see, selling raw Earth is not the way to go. You can even check the AH for cheap Crystallized Earths or Eternal Earths and have them made into the ring and disenchanted for dusts.
