I can confirm the location of the droprate.
It dropped for me whilst I was grinding Marks and Fel Armaments for Aldor rep.
Wasn't deliberately trying to find it but now I have it :)
Watch out for the elite that walks around.
Alot of cloth and gold to be obtained whilst grinding for this.
The Wraithbringers nearby also drop another Alchemy Recipe

Комментарий от 27627

In the general area there is also another alchemy drop:
Recipe: Fel Strength Elixir http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31680
from any of the mobs around them (legion hold area).

Комментарий от 32333

Well that was great... it only took 597 kills to get this one.
Got 5 Fel Armaments, 1 blue item, ~20 green ones, alot of Marks and almost 300 netherweave cloth.

Only pulled the elite when some other idiot grinding there did and then died :D .

... now I just have to wait and see if I'm ever going to use it :/

The rate may not be as low as 1 in 500 (0.2%), but it's certainly not high. I've killed hundreds of those stupid warlocks with no drop.

Fortunately, they're very easy to kill. They don't have a lot of hit point or armor, and their abilities are a weak shadow bolt with a long cast time and a channelled drain life spell. Both can be interrupted.

They drop Fel Armaments and Marks of Sargeras, so this is a much more pleasant grind for the Aldor-aligned characters.

Bring snacks and drinks, though, because you might be grinding for a long, long time to get this recipe.

173 mobs before this dropped. I got the Boars Speed enchant as well, so it was worth it.

Комментарий от Tourn

414 kills on this one, but got the Fel Strength in just 143. Definitely worth farming for both, they respawned almost as fast as I was killing them.

Комментарий от 64353

The drop rate must have increased because i got both this and the fel strength potion within a couple minutes. Had myself stettled in for a long grind and 5 kills in fel strength, 5 later major shadow protection. go me.

Комментарий от Yume

5 Fel armaments, more thn 100 Marks and 350 Netherweave, various greens and lots of trash items/money but I still have to see it dropped, Im really losing faith :(

Edit: found 10 mins after this post :)

Комментарий от 34994

Got it in 2nd kill, so surely it exists :-)

Комментарий от cregor

Near the top of the camp there are three towers each with 4 warlocks that spawn. There is an elite that paths around the top but he is easily avoided. Had to kill all warlocks at all three towers about 5 times to get the drop.

Комментарий от 71891

Been farming for over an hour and no sign of it so far. Fel Strength elixer (blue/rare) dropped within 15 minutes. Just a reminder that /each/ kill has a non-stacking chance to drop the recipie.

Комментарий от 20486

Just a side note: The warlocks seem to respawn at a highly accelerated rate ... making it very tough to slam the keyboard down, curse loudly, and walk away from farming.

Комментарий от Wildhorn

Since only alchemist who doesnt have it learned already can see the recipe drop, the % showed here is not really accurate.

You have to use WoW's Armory which give:

Shadow Council Warlock Extremely Low (1% - 2%)

Комментарий от kcdugan

Obtained in 58 minutes after killing 132 warlocks. Also got Recipe: Fel Strength Elixer, 40 marks of Sargeras, and 4 Fel Armarments.

Комментарий от Grimdeath

Went to the warlocks specifically to farm this recipe off them, and I got it after my fifth mob :).

Like earlier people have said, don't get intimidated by the extremely low drop percentage.

Комментарий от 56470

Toke me 15 kills, less than 8 minutes.id say easy mode

Комментарий от 100625

I'm a 65 Rogue. I got a very nice fellow guildie to help me farm it (Level 70 Hunter).

We farmed for about an hour, so i decided to give up- we were making our way back down to the town, and i spotted a nightmare vine, so we killed the mobs nearby. One of them yielded a Fel Strength Recipe, which I was happy to have.

*break when i had dinner*

After my dinner, i thought that i may as well get my guildie to help me farm Nightmare Vines- seeing as I needed them for my *recently discovered* Flask of Pure Death. I approached Legion Hold, and I thought we may as well keep farming the recipe, as it was quite a good money maker, and since my companion didn't want anything in return for her hard work- I thought we may as well.

We farmed them for another twenty minutes or so, until she had some odd lag spikes, so she relogged. While she was relogging, *i'm ashamed to say* I ninja'd a warlock which was walking to the centre of the the place off another 70 hunter (who didn't complain much, and to be fair, probably didn't need the mob as much as me). I killed it, and looted it. To my absolute suprise, the mob yielded the recipe.

I sold everything I had received from the farming sessions, and hearthed. The money made from it equalled (for me) about 50-80g. Nice way to make money if you have someone who wants to farm a recipe ;).

I still haven't made my first bunch of them, but will do in a few minutes- I'll post back telling you whether I've discovered the cauldron. (Can't believe the AH prices of Primal Shadow's atm. 45g on Terenas EU T.T)

Good Luck farming this!

Комментарий от 125250

First Kill it dropped. No joke ^^

Комментарий от 72318

125 warlocks later, managed to loot the recipe. 0.8% droprate for me.

Комментарий от 99191

118 kills and 20g repairs from getting flattened by the Elite later, I got it.

Still, about 120 cloth, 35 marks and 3 fel armaments made it worth while I suppose.

As a Warlock, I could DoT 4-5 of them at the one time and they wouldn't do much damage. It was when I got caught in combat killing the warlocks and the Elite trampled by that the fun began.

Комментарий от Vyndree

273 shadow council warlock kills, 8 fel armaments, 86 marks of sargeras, 13 stacks of netherweave, and an hour and a half of grinding and I finally have the shadow protection recipe...

... and the fel strength elixir recipe has yet to drop. >.<

Комментарий от pyro223

i got it on my 3rd kill :D

Комментарий от Draconax

Finally got this recipe after about 400 kills or so. I think I definitely got shafted on the drop rate for sure. Did pick up over 20 fel armaments, and close to 250 marks of sargeras though. Quick question: does anyone know if you can get a potion mastery proc on this? If so, do you get 6 instead of 5, or 10 instead of 5, or what?

Комментарий от 95299

I kill 30-40 of these a day when I'm doing the survey. I've killed 100's and still no recipe :(

Комментарий от 166917

Omg after reading your comments on droprates and stuff. I just flew to SMV prepared for a long grind and this recipe dropped off the very 1st warlock I killed and the Fel Strength Elixir dropped off the 3rd. ^^ Nice to be lucky with drops for once. hehe

Комментарий от 114876

18 kills for this & a Fel Armament to drop

Комментарий от Sully

Finally dropped after about an hour of farming. As a level 80 Holy Priest it was extremely easy. They do respawn quite fast making it even easier. I also managed to get http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31680 during the hour I spent there.

Anyone who doesn't have these two recipes should really consider grinding it out. Very easy for any class I imagine and the rewards make it well worth it.

Комментарий от 649042

Finally got this on my warrior today. Took over 100 kills. I just wrote a GM to see if it still dropped. 2 kills later it did.

Комментарий от helver

There are 14 Shadow Council Warlocks that spawn - four each around three pulsating obelisks and two in the middle that patrol around near Prophetess Cavrylin. The warlocks around the three obelisks start to channel a green beam up to the top of the obelisk - that makes them very easy to see. Once you start killing them, they respawn very quickly. By the time you finish one pass through the packs of four, several have already respawned back at the first pack.

I got my recipe after 35 Warlock kills on 5/11/2012 - patch 4.3.4.

Комментарий от mattaio

As of patch 5.04, Shadowmoon Valley, about 22,38 the Shadow Council Warlocks. I dropped 20 and got the recipe.

Комментарий от cUnAzeroth

I am a lvl 75 Rogue and it took 321 kills for me to obtain this recipe. (I had 2 slots left in my bag and was just ready to give up.) Don't give up!

Комментарий от AngusBeef1

50 kills and I got the recipe

Комментарий от Malakhi

776 netherweave, 255 Marks, 35 Armaments, and gobs of trash greens and grays later....

Комментарий от Mahiingan

Got it on my very first kill. That was the last one I needed for the pet challenge. My luck never usually runs anywhere near that well.

Комментарий от Penaloppe

Here is what I dropped while farming Чернокнижник из Совета Теней for Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от темной магии and Рецепт: оскверненный эликсир силы.

149 x Ткань Пустоты
54 x Знак Саргераса
6 x Копченый дикий талбук
4 x Латные перчатки Скверны
4 x Очищенная дренорская вода
2 x Гигантский флакон с лечебным зельем
1 x Шлем Тяжелого Кулака
1 x Разъеденный топор
1 x Синее топазовое кольцо
1 x Кольцо из лазурита
1 x Обветшавшие латные сапоги
1 x Ветхие матерчатые наручи
1 x Гаюиновое кольцо
1 x Обветшавший латный шлем
1 x Свиток выносливости VI
1 x Свиток защиты VI
1 x Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от темной магии (Got it at 113 Ткань Пустоты)
1 x Рецепт: оскверненный эликсир силы

If I do some quick calculations based on the number of Ткань Пустоты since the drop rate is 61% for 1-3 Ткань Пустоты (2 in average).
I got the Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от темной магии after 92 kills. ((113/2)/0,61) (Drop rate of 1,09%)
And the Рецепт: оскверненный эликсир силы after 122 kills. ((149/2)/0,61) (Drop rate of 0,82%)

Комментарий от egephart

Took me 60 kills on the dot. Time wise I'd estimate about 10 minutes. Very fast spawn rate. Was doing this on a 110 Elemental Shaman.

Drops were:
102 Ткань Пустоты
2 Копченый дикий талбук
2 Очищенная дренорская вода
19 Знак Саргераса
2 Латные перчатки Скверны
1 Рецепт: оскверненный эликсир силы (Bonus because I didn't know it yet)
1 Чертеж: кориевый защитник (Bonus because didn't have on my Blacksmith)
1 Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от темной магии (SCORE)

Now off to find the others.

Today, 15 March 2019, I farmed for 300 netherweave, but no potions recipe, as an arcane mage and got tired, so switched to frost and the recipe for the potion dropped with 8 kills...
