#1 Mote of Water Farming Spot - Levels 62+

Here is a tip to let you know the best place in the game (that I know about) to farm Motes of Water (WowEcon | Wowhead). This is good for characters levels 62 and up!

As with any mote, there are several decent places to farm in game. Earlier I covered farming Motes of Water in Nagrand, and this is a great way to rack them up especially if you are already questing or grinding in that zone. However, if you need a solid stack of Motes of Water quickly (whether for gold or crafting) the optimal place to farm these is in a small lake in Terrokar Forest (Wowhead | WowWiki) located due west of Shattrath City.

Shimmerscale Eels in Terrokar ForestThis lake holds a bounty of Shimmerscale Eels, which have an excellent drop rate for Motes of Water and which you can take down quite easily, which is ultimately the most important aspect of any grinding mob. Add to that it is extremely close to Shattrath City and you have a recipe for an extremely easy grinding spot.

One of the difficulties of farming this particular mob, however, is that they exist only underwater. So to maximize your grinding you should have some type of water-breathing. Whether the Warlock spell Unending Breath, Elixir of Water Breathing or even a Nagrand Cherry, eliminating the need to come up for air will increase your farming of these little guys dramatically.

Another difficulty you may encounter is a large number of other players doing the same thing you are. This isn’t the biggest lake, and while it will accommodate two or even three level 70 players, the more the UN-merrier here. If this lake is being camped heavily, there isn’t much you can do aside from coming back later.

My #1 Mote of Fire Farming Spot - Level 67+

mote-air-grinding

As with every type of mote in Burning Crusade, there are several spots to farm Motes of Fire (WowEcon | Wowhead). My personal favorite spot is located in north-central Blade’s Edge Mountains (Wowhead | WowWiki).

This spot is similar in many ways to my favorite Mote of Air farm - that is, there are many elementals of one type which are pretty easy and respawn quick, but have annoying mobs mixed in to slow down your mote harvesting. Farming spots like these will still net you more motes than anywhere else - including Elemental Plateau (in my opinion).

Primal Mana Bonanza in Patch 2.4 - Level 70

Blade's Edge Mountains

It’s to be expected that once a patch is released there will be slightly unbalanced elements - and taking advantage of them is often the path to riches for many a savvy player.

Among the plethora of new daily quests given to us by Patch 2.4 there is one in particular that will allow you to farm, at this point, literally a hundred Motes of Mana (WowEcon | Wowhead) an hour. Which of course nets you a solid number of Primals of Mana.

The Lagoon - Motes of Life and Cenarion Reputation

It’s no secret that there are lots of great places in Zangarmarsh (Wowhead | WowWiki) to grind out Motes of Life (WowEcon | Wowhead), and the really awesome thing is that you can do it as early as level 61.

The Lagoon - Zangarmarsh

I was just introduced to a great tucked-away area in Zangarmarsh that will have you rolling in Motes of Life in no time: The Lagoon, which is home to loads of Lagoon Walkers.

Grinding Motes of Water - Levels 64+

By now most players know that the best place to farm for Motes of Water (WowEcon | Wowhead) at level 70 is in Nagrand (Wowhead | WowWiki), which is why Elemental Plateau is so camped. But not many know that most of those Motes of Water you see in the Auction House do not come from Elemental Plateau - they come from level 64-66 mobs in central Nagrand.

Mote of Air Farming Location - Levels 67+

mote-air-grinding

Ah, the neverending quest for motes Burning Crusade has brought us. Sometimes fun, sometimes a pain, but always an adventure, Blizzard has fortunately graced players with relatively high drop rates for these items. So it really isn’t hard to farm many in a short period. But seasoned WoW players know that drop rates are only part of the story when figuring out the best places to grind motes for WoW gold.

I just found out about a great spot to farm Motes of Air (WowEcon | Wowhead). It’s located in Shadowmoon Valley (Wowhead | WowWiki) north of the Altar of Sha’tar and just to the west east of Oronok Tornheart’s farm.

Mote of Mana Farming - Netherstorm Level 67+

Since Burning Crusade people have been going mote crazy. And why not? Ten motes of any given element will produce a primal of that element. And if you have played the Burning Crusade and do any kind of crafting at all, you know that there are tons of recipes in all the professions which require primals (for example the shamantastic Living Dragonscale Helm).

In the Best WoW Gold Guide we’ve already covered some great (and would-be great) spots to farm motes. We’ve also established that people will pay good gold for them on the auction house. So now I want to clue you in on a great tucked-away spot to farm Motes of Mana.

Farming Motes on Elemental Plateau - Level 70

Flight over Nagrand

This post updated on: April 21, 2008

The undead rogue looks up from his meal - a Scarlet Crusade warrior who didn’t know when not to attack - at the menacing fortress of Tyr’s Hand. “This place is virtually deserted of both Alliance and Horde champions,” he thought while sucking out the marrow of the unfortunate cultist’s left femur. “This place used to be nothing but female Night Elf Hunters as far as the eye could see, but now? Where have they all gone?”

Have you ever wondered where exactly it is all the gold farmers are hanging out these days?
