Good source for farming Volatile Earth. Especially great if you are a miner, as you can mine their corpses to find (albeit rarely) additional Volatile Earth.

Commentaire de KristianG

While I was lvling up to 85 I noticed that these mobs had a ok drop rate for Volatile Earth.

After I hit 85 and after I was done with every quest in the zone, I went back to farm some, but after a few kills I wondered why I had not got any Volatile Earth. So I started to count my kills, and after 50 dead mobs I gave up. Not a single Volatile Earth, not from looting or mining them.

While this is not enough kills to say that they don't drop Volatile Earth anymore, it looks at least like the drop rate either goes way down when you finish the zone or that Blizzard has hotfixed the drop rate.

Just went and farmed nearly 30 Volatile Earth off these in about 45 minutes.

I'm a miner, so it was a little better than for non-miners. I've finished Twilight Highlands quests already, so that has nothing to do with it.

I'm not a miner and I've finished all the quests in the zone.

gave up..

20 total volatiles in my bag

Edit: I put the volatiles I had in my bank thinking it might have stopped due to that. I went back and farmed another 62 without a single volatile drop. Maybe there is a hidden cap on how many can drop? Maybe I have incredibly bad luck?

Just killed every one of these in the zone twice and not one dropped or mined corpse dropped V-earth. Just updating with date. GL.

Great place to farm Volatile Earth, farmed 10 in about 5-10 minutes,
btw you play a roll playing game. Don't complain when you aren't getting lucky. you may get 100 in 30 minutes then get nothing for the next 10 days. its all based on a roll of the dice

Notice the change in patch? I hope 4.0.6 brings more of these VE drops than prior. I have no luck so stopped farming. I'll try again now that I heard you say it's better farming again.

Depending on your class three of these on you are pretty much fatal. Yes I moved around to get out of fault line. But still...watch out ..had a few respawn on me at the same time.

Seems like the drop rate has something to do with mining the mobs after killing them. I only got 1 from a drop but 16 from mining them. Granted this was not a large parse but I still killed at least 70 of these in 20 mins or so. Also, I tried the worms in Deepholm where one of the the daily's is (crumbling depths) don't bother farming the worms for them these Elementals have a much higher (3-5x) drop rate for volatiles.

Killing and mining these is probably the best way to farm Volatile Earth. I stayed there for 30 minutes and I got 40 Volatile Earth and approximately 110 gold for selling the shards. In addition to that, I got http://www.wowhead.com/item=66966.

If you're not a miner your results will be nowhere near as great as mine.

Drops:
Volatile Earth
Your frame rate

Its a pain in the butt if you get hit by Ligne de rupture.
It deals about 20k damage, so try to avoid it.

No one has mentioned that this mob is the object of the quest "Potential Energy."

As a lvl 84 DK, I had done about a half-dozen quests in Twilight Highlands without much problem and this quest calls for the killing of 10 of these things so I pulled the first one with Death Grip and me and my ghoul went to work.

The next thing I knew, lotsa mobs were all over us, the ground blew up, and not even the Army of the Dead had time to save us. The mobs travel around this area in groups, like the patrols you see in dungeons, making it harder to keep from agroing them as you fight your intended target.

As I was writing this, one of those Shaman dudes shot a 5k DoT bolt of some kind at my flying machine. Holy crap, I can see this one won't be easy!

So, as others have mentioned, the important thing is to avoid the rupture lines and not pull a bunch of mobs. I tried the suggestion where you rush the mob when the line first appears and do a 180 from behind him. That appeared to be working but the Shaman guy was wacking me from a distance with the same 5k bolts he had been throwing at my flying machine. I had the Stoneslave guy down pretty low when the final bolt from the Shaman hit me and I died again. All this stuff happened VERY fast.

By this time I was getting a little heated because the difficulty of this quest was so much greater than those I had encountered in Twilight Highlands so far, not to mention all the buffs that got wasted each time I died.

I went back to SW, repaired (15g) and got some protection potions and scrolls. I also decided not to attack unless my favorite DK spell-Army of the Dead-was up. It has a 10 minute cool down.

So off I go to try it again. No good. The Stoneslave was hitting with something else besides the rupture that wacked me for about 6k a pop, and very quickly. Worgs were attacking and the Army of the Dead was getting the Shaman down when I ran out of options and died. I won't try this quest again until I reach lvl 85.

This is a great place (60,30 in Twilight Highlands) to use the Potion of Treasure Finding. In addition to the volatile earths I looted, I received 18 treasure chests from the Obsidian Stoneslaves, and some of those chests also contained volatile earth, among other valuable items and gold. Altogether, in one hour of farming, I made out with significant mats, including the items received by disenchanting the greens. For the most part, the 78 embersilk cloths looted and from the chests, plus the celestial essences from disenchanting were the most profitable. I have tried farming many areas with the potion of treasure finding, and this area gave me the best results.

Not including the treasure chests, I averaged a 23% drop rate of volatile earths. Including the volatile earths found in the chests, I averaged a 29% drop rate.

Some have mentioned that they stopped getting volatile earths after hitting level 85 and completing the quests for the area. I am a level 85 and have completed the quests, and that was not my experience.

Bottom line: if you are going to spend an hour farming these stoneslaves, the potion of treasure finding will make your time more profitable.
