Part of Traversing the Spheres, requires Firim's Spare Forge-Tap to get.
I got Volatile Precursor after 11 minutes grinding.

/way 49,0, 59,3 Volatile Precursor

To get Firim's Spare Forge-Tap speak with Firim located in Zereth Mortis inside the cave (Exile's Hollow).

/way 35,0, 45,6 cave entrance
/way 34,2, 48,6 Firim

Select the dialog "Can I use your Forge-Trap?" to get Firim's Spare Forge-Tap.

Firim's Spare Forge-Tap is used on Progenitor Forges throughout Zereth Mortis to obtain proto-materials.
Progenitor Forge are the brown balls (small and big).
You can get rare proto-materials to begin quests part of Traversing the Spheres.

What is the purpose of this item? Is the only use for this item for the achievement?

Comment by XNQrE

Vendor it, there's nothing else to do with it, no crafting and the achievement credit is done.

Comment by Tequima

Used as a step for the achievement Traversing the Spheres. Finding all of the items rewards the toy Mortis Mover, a sphere you can roll around on.

Other items can be found at various locations in ZM or from combining 15 Ephemera Strands, which may also award buff items, the pet Geordy (LaForge), or a Provis Cache Key for the treasure chest at /way 2 52 Provis Cache.

You can keep using the Forge-Tap after the daily Materials of Creation quest is completed, before you hand it in. If the quest is not active, then speak to Firim to ask him for Firim's Spare Forge-Tap.

You can vendor the item once obtained.

I don't know who is assigning colors to items at Blizzard now but it's pretty terrible. The colors of items should tell you if it's important (gear, mats, components) or something that can be vendored. If it's no useful, even if it's "rare," why not make it gray and put, in very visible letters, that it's part of an achievement?

On the other hand, they now have PETS in Oribos that can be purchased for GRAY items. Traditionally, GRAY has meant "safe to vendor, no reason to keep it," but this has changed all that. There are some difficult to get gray items that are probably vendored often (rather than helping that person get a pet or some gold from the AH). Also, many have addons to help save time by automatically vendoring gray items - because the entire POINT of that color is that there IS NO USED FOR IT (except for people who just like to collect them for their own personal reasons).

I think for things like this, the color coding system, up until now, has been a very useful indicator, helping people save time and space, a short-cut to letting people know quickly what can be vendored without regret. At the very least make them WHITE items so they might think about looking it up to see the usage.

Maybe they will add a USE for the Volatile Precursor later. If not, there are probably a ton of people keeping it in their already-too-full bags. Or people like me, afraid to vendor it, in case a use is "discovered" for it later.

Hi all

I present Traversing the Spheres to reach it you must Find 10 Items.

First speak with Firim to get Firim's Spare Forge-Tap. Firim is located in cave 35,2 45,6. Or do it when WQ Materials of Creation is up ( when you finish WQ but you will not do Achi don't wary now you cen get this item from NPC ).

Then Use Firim's Spare Forge-Tap on Stone Orbs, You need to face them and is not working on all Stone Orbs, if You use item on Orb and nothing is happening just move to next one.

Main Reward from achivement is Mortis Mover but during it you can get Wicked Pocopoc, Geordy or Provis Cache Key to open treasure Locked Provis Cache.

Looted it at exactly /way 40.96 54.61

Comment by MindOfTim

This is part of the achievement Traversing the Spheres

Video guide: https://youtu.be/qCAYOc-9orM

The coordinates that I received these items are:

Pollinated Extraction: /way 68.8 67.8
- This spawns on any ball that has white flowers on. There aren't that many but the drop rate of this one seems pretty good.

Honeycombed Lattice: /way 64.2 59.2
- This spawns near vespoid enemies. The east side has the most balls to tap.

Unstable Agitant: /way 48.8 93.8
- This one drops in the Catalyst Gardens at the bottom of the map

Empyrean Essence: /way 56.4 81.8
- This spawns in the grassy areas where no other items spawn. Where you first zone into Zereth Mortis drops these according to Wowhead.

Incorporeal Sand: /way 43.0 29.9
- This one spawns in the desert areas. Anywhere that has sand basically.

Volatile Precursor: /way 42.8 59.8
- This spawns in the Forge of the Afterlives, the centre ring of Zereth Mortis.

Energized Firmament: /way 48.2 30.2
- This spawns where the cosmic energy bar appears on the map. These forge's have gold liquid oozing from the bottom.

Serene Pigment: /way 34.4 46.7
- This spawns in quiet areas, like Exile's Hollow

Wayward Essence /way 51.7 90.00
Near Firim's cave /way 32.7 39.3
- This spawns from forge's that are high in the air or outside the map

The Anima-Charged Yolk is gained from collecting the Ephemera Strands combining 15 of these, giving you an Ephemera Orb. Opening the ephemera orb has a chance to give you the yolk.

Got one @
/way 40.26, 52.65

Comment by Damonra

The item seems to be good only for the Traversing the Spheres achievement. Get them all, and you get the Mortis Mover toy.

Other than that, its only good for 10 gold at the vendor. It's soulbound, so you can't AH it or give it away to someone else looking for the achievement.
