Really a pain in the ass to farm this recipe, been for more than 12 hours on it and 0 drops.

Also, the behemots and horrors share the spawn with the slime, and well, the red ones are easy job, but the blue ones are more troublesome, and the worst of all is they almost doesn't drop gold/sellable items.

If you are a rogue, bring some patience, maybe some thorn-style trinket for the little spawns, and use your Blade Flurry wisely.

well, 10 hours farming, 3 hours sleep and nothing. went to AH and found it for 60g. Thanks to that n00b that didnt know its true value. I would say at least 180-200g with such a poor drop rate. Any high end guild member could easily pay for this item and save themselves the headache.

The item is not TOO hard to farm, as long as you know exactly what you are doing. First of all, it is not really hard to farm this item, from a hunter standpoint. I recomend actually waiting for them to spawn OUTSIDE the cave, so as to prevent getting killed by the slimes that spawn mobs with their deaths. It DOES NOT drop from the slimes, as far as I know. But the floating elemental things do drop them. I got mine on kill number 13, but I do hear others have killed more and got none.

This recipe does not drop from the slimes, only the elementals. But if you kill the slimes you can get a nifty little pet called "Digusting oozeling". Its a nice pet that sells pretty well.

Be sure to kill everything in the cave, since they all share spawn points. The more you kill, the more often you can kill an elemental.

Good potion to have in nature-based instances, such as Ahn'Qiraj, at Princess Huhuran for example. The mats aren't exactly that hard to find, though Elemental Earth is relatively harder to get than say, Elemental Fire.

Wish there were a transmutation recipe similar to Heart of Fire one, only for Elemental Earth :/

Either I'm incredibly lucky, or the drop rate has increased significantly. I got three alone in under an hour.

Commentaire de Warondar

Your right Faux. They must of really increased the drop rate cause these drop like flies now off the Behemoths in the cave.

Got one in about 50min, just killing the elementals.

Commentaire de 114022

Not sure if I got lucky or drop rate has changed. I got one in less than 30 min. and then got another one on my way back out of the cave. These will come in handy in ZA and I never got this recipe pre-BC.

A question. Is this drop only visible to alchemists? I'm farming it right now and have been for an hour or so, rather hoping I'm not wasting my time. (Am farming it for an alt.)

Edit: Dropped a couple of minutes after this post. Still, not a failure, just a bad example and a useful bit of information to know!

Commentaire de pillar

actually dropped for me on the first kill :(

sorry!

Commentaire de Kastaje

Did they buff the droprate on these things? 3 of them have dropped for me in 10 minutes

Commentaire de 269689

In Classic WoW I actually used to farm these for money, droprate seems to have gone up. Got 2 after a full run in the cave while hunting for thorium.

Been grinding for the Pattern: Living Breastplate now for days with no drop. I've been killing everything and moving throughout the cave. All the mobs seem to share respawn so killing them all makes more of whatever you're looking for. My kills so far are...

432 Devouring Ooze (blue)
388 Rotting Bohemoth
192 Vile Slime (red)
155 Decaying Horror
28 Large Vile Slime

I've gotten 12 Recipe: Greater Nature Protection, 14 living essences, 59 oozing bags, and some other rare blue drops however. I've seen the Living Breastplate posted on other sites as having a .1% drop rate instead of a 1%. I would believe it now that I've been grinding over a hundred Decaying Horrors with no drop.

It should be noted that the Rotting Bohemoth and Decaying Horror look identical. As do the Vile Slime and Large Vile Slime.

I was farming for this today after a couple hours i thought this thing was starting to be a myth, and finally it dropped. as i was running out i thought i would just kill everything there anyways to get some gold back for the repair bill.. and i thought i had a heart when i saw http://www.wowhead.com/?item=20769 dropped, that made getting this pattern worth it :)

the point of this story, kill the slimes, who knows what will show up in your bags :)

Commentaire de SirTannen

I've been farming the slimes and 4 of these dropped, two of them were one after the other.

They come off the Decaying Horror's, and Behemoths. Does not seem like a 5% drop-rate.

Commentaire de Shaldana

Farmed this out today (Sept. 26, 2010) on an 80 Boomkin and it look me less than 15 mins for it to drop. Easy-peasy.

Commentaire de lunamoonraker

The mobs this dropped from are no longer in the game since 4.0.3a so not sure where or if this recipe is still available.

Commentaire de Smurk

Since no one has mentioned this expressly in the comments yet: the innkeeper of Cenarion Hold in Silithus now sells this recipe, but it is a limited supply item.

Has not appeared on my AH for months and months... good recipe to make money if no one else on your server is aware of where to get it.
