Have killed a good thirty of these mobs (they have about 6 or 7 spawn points, you can't really chain them), and have had no luck in dropping Volatile Air. Am not sure the 28% drop rate is accurate at all.

EDIT : by now, with more data received, the visible droprate has changed to 12%, which seems a lot more accurate.

I would advice grinding these mobs for air however, you would probably be better off grinding airs of the Hyjal mobs (there's more of them) or the Twilight mobs (higher drop chance).

killed 15 and got 2 airs so far so i would say 28% is about right

From my experience, name plates do not appear on these guys. Nothing game breaking, just a little bug.

Commento di 66635

Farmed these for 120 minutes, killed exactly 340 of them and got 60 Volatile Airs, which is about 17.6% droprate. This seems to be in line with the reported droprate (it's 12%*(1+2)/2=18%). Also used a Potion of Treasure Finding for the latter 60 minutes and got 8 Tiny Treasure Chests. Overall a great farming spot, considering the price of Volatile Airs.

As of 12/17 I'm only getting crackling crystals from these guys.

Commento di 654409

Also do not complete quests to kill these guys once phased out they no longer exist

Nevermind went back today they are visable

Commento di emmasteadman

I farmed about 50 of these and didn't get one single volatile air, the drop rate is considerably a lot lower than reported.

Commento di Flimflamdw

Blizzard stealth nerfed the drop rate on of Volatile Air from these mobs. I have no idea why, but it's really bad now. I've killed several hundred mobs and don't even have 40.

Commento di 118464

Spent ~1hour farming these. Killing nonstop, had the spawn to myself. I only got 24. The people reporting getting over 60 in an hour are exaggerating, or Blizzard stealth-nerfed the droprate.

Commento di Etreum

Nerfed fer sure. I just killed forty and not a single drop.

I just did another thirty and only got two airs, so that is two for seventy kills! Barely a 3% drop rate.

Commento di 421626

Primal rates on all mobs have been dropped.
If you're specifically farming a primal and using the correct mobs, expect to get 1-2 every 10 minutes

Commento di snifs

30 minutes of pharming netted me 20 volatile air.

I'd get long periods of 0 drops, but the fact that half the drops i got gave me 2 airs, made up for it.

I think that's more than a fair drop rate.

This was also during prime time with 5-8 other people pharming. Respawn was very fast though.

Don't try running around on foot, kill then mount up. Also there are many spawns on the outskirts of the ruins that many people tend to forget about.

Started farming for 12 of these in and around Orsis in Uldum at 7:18a EST, was done at 7:42a EST. Took 8 minutes before first one dropped. They will sometimes drop 2 at a time. That's one per 2 minutes. Note there was no competition farming for these. HTH.

Commento di brazer

after 1 hour of farming these things i got about 19 volatile air they seem to not drop for 4-7 kills then drop 2 in a row from what i have experianced

Commento di DarkAviendha

Looks like they nerfed these or something...I killed like 100 of them tonight and not one single Volatile air dropped...thanks Bliz

Commento di 703441

Just killed 40 of these. Didn't get 1 Volatile Air. Think Blizzard stopped these guys dropping Volatile Air.

Commento di 597620

I killed 150 of these in about an hour. In that time, I got:

27 Aria Instabile
5 Uncommon pieces of gear
about 38 gold in vendor trash, and
Modello: Monocolo di Zaffiro dell'Orefice

That's a drop rate of about 18% for the Volatile Air. Small sample size, I know, but I think it's worth the time to farm here. I'll be going back with a Potion of Treasure Finding for sure.

Commento di Khaot1c

Thats the way it seems.... You kill a lot, they drop a little. Not very helpful as far as numbers go, but neither was the farming. In about half an hour I collected 3 Volatile Airs.

I farmed these mobs at Orsis for an hour using a Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori and these were my results:

I killed a total of 193.
I looted the following:
38 Aria Instabile which is a 19.7% drop rate
7 Baule del Piccolo Tesoro
Modello: Diaspro Regale
5 green items
About 75g in vendor trash
I also completed Brasato dalle fiamme :)

Definitely the best place to farm for Aria Instabile, recommended!

Concur Scion of Al' Akir has the best drop rates. Established a rotating pattern, tracking elementals with potion of treasure seeking. 168 kills. 3 Pyrium ore, 40 Embersilk cloth, 3 volatile life, 2 volatile earth, 9 elementium ore and 37 volatile air. Air drop rate in this configuration was 22%. Granted this is just a 1 hour sample. There was a Horde DK farming in the same area on the tail end of the run with no negative effects on my ability to farm at a steady pace.

Commento di 185159

After one hour of farming:

62 volatile air
228 crackling crystals/shimmering shards

All together i made well over 1500 gold in just one hour.

I didn't know treasure chests spawn in the area ill make sure you use a potion next time.

Commento di 349759

In 1 hour of farming...

130 Crystals

5 Greens

4 Greys

12 volatile Air

Out of those 12 Volatile Airs 4 of those were double drops, so actually 8 total mobs dropped Volatile Airs. Out of 130 mobs, thats a really really crummy %.

Commento di 716987

Farmed these guys for one hour tonight using Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori and ended up with:

70 Volatile Air
11 Volatire Water
8 Volatile Fire
8 Volatile Earth
3 Volatile Life
74 Embersilk Cloth
6 Elementium Ore
3 Pyrite Ore
Two green items
and lots of gold from vendor trash

So not too bad really. Not sure how many I killed, just went as fast as I could.

Commento di 384158

In sixty minutes with a potion of treasure finding:

50 air
13 water
21 embersilk cloth
145 gold (pick ups and vendor trash)
1 green (DE into 3 cosmic essence into 1 greater cosmic essence)
1 blue (armagedillo's tail)

Average seems to be 45 in an hour (or one every 1.5 minutes).

Edit: I forgot to mention I killed one every 8 - 10 seconds for an hour.

Commento di 826522

I was farming these with no potion or anything. i only wanted ten volatile air.... At first I got 8 without too much trouble, but then getting the last 2 was a complete utter pain in the ASS... I killed a million of these mobs and not a single one dropped volatile air.

Commento di 573160

Nice if you have JC looks like all your trinkets can drop from these mob as well

Commento di 841106

in 40 mins of non stop killing , got 45 Volatile Air , 3 Greens , 4 Grays , and 1 Formula: Incanta Bracciali - Intelletto Vigoroso, it's the best place to farm for anyone lvl 83+ if u r bored and want some easy gold and the good thing they spawn fast that even 3~4 ppl farming at same time can farm them without a problem :)

Commento di 22776

had to get volatile air for my truegold xmutes and tried this palce for about 20min! i got 10 volatiles and some trash items, not as fancy like most of you, but tomorrow ill try and farm longer to see better results. but awesome farming spot for sure!

Commento di 354916

Alright I farmed these for one hour on Turalyon (Us) Horde. I fought for them with a pally but it wasn't much of a fight, being an arcane mage I pulled and killed them faster.

Besides basic mage buffs. I used 1 Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori.

I got
30X Aria Instabile
169X Cristalli Crepitanti
26X Frammenti Scintillanti
7X Baule del Piccolo Tesoro
And 5X Greens
Gambiere dell'Elementalista
Bracciali Leggeri di Legnoradioso
Cappuccio di Dandred
Mantello di Mereldar
Lama Incantata dei Nethander

And in those 7X Baule del Piccolo Tesoro
I received about 10 gold.
5X Aria Instabile
3X Fuoco Instabile
1X Fascione di Legnoradioso
and about 8 other assorted volatiles.
Overall farming these was very easy once you get a route going, after all the treasure chests and drops I made out with a decent amount just for one hour. I also got 53 gold for the vendor trash. I am keeping the Boe greens just so I can disenchant them later.

Good luck to those who farm, and always pick up a Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori, it makes everything easier.

Commento di 249416

Just did this to get 3 volatile air, but i ended up with one green pair of gloves, 48 crackling crystal and 14 shimmering shards. not one volatile air... thoose mobs sucks

Commento di BrknSoul

As of 02-Oct-11, these mobs still drop Volatile Air. Farmed them for an hour with Potion of Treasure Finding. I recieved the following;

10 stacks of Crackling Crystals/Shimmering Shards
4 Junk Items
6 Green Items
36 Volatile Air
9 Tiny Treasure Chests

Commento di what3ver212

Farmed these tonight for Volatile Air, and got the following.

192 x Crackling Crystals/Shimmering Shards
33 x Volatile Air
2 greens and about 6 other grey drops.

It's frustrating in the beginning as around the first 30 or so I killed didn't drop any. Also, I noticed that they tend to drop 2 (and 1 dropped 3) more often, so the kills/drops per mob are even more skewed taking that into effect.

If you're going to farm these for the Air then just be patient, they eventually drop. You may have to kill 40 before you see your first one, but they drop.

Commento di Keepertje8

1000g per hour?

Farmed these for exactly one hour with a Potion of Treasurefinding. Some competition, but even with two farmers, you will not spend more than 3-4 seconds between each mob. 3-5 seconds to kill a mob as an Arcane Mage (ilvl390):

7 greys
43 Volatile Air
6 greens
240 Crackling Crystals
44 Shimmering Shards
15 Tiny Treasure Chests

Trash and all vendored for 90g. Gold in chests was 40g. Greenies sold for 60g.
4 stacks of Embersilk Cloth from the chests (360g), which can be doubled if you play the AH.
Some more volatiles and other stuff from the chest. Volatiles sold for 700g (15g/Air + some from the chests). This is much lower than the 24g that Wowhead lists.

Yes, you can indeed make 1000g/hour here, even on a server with a lot of demand (like mine), with a Potion of Treasurefinding, and even more if you play the AH.

Commento di 1014577

I don't know if it's just me, but these guys seem to have an unusually high green and blue drop rate. In around half an hour, I got 6 greens and 2 blues from them, and 8 volatile air.
EDIT: I also got a jc recipe for Jeweler's Amber Monocle.
