Clouds containing Motes of AIr in Nagrand. A special note to engineers, they can spawn on the floating islands above Nagrand so leave no space unexplored :)

Kommentar von 100095

Does anyone know how to interact with these clouds. Can't seem to do anything but look at them.

Kommentar von elchup4cabra

As of 2.3 these are much easier to find if you have on a pair of the epic engineering gogles https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/items&filter=qu=4;sl=1;minle=100;cr=86;crs=5;crv=0

The clouds will show up as yellow dots on your minimap like regular mining/herbalism nodes and you can farm them with your mote extractor. The clouds yield 3-5 motes every cloud, so this can make for some very good farming, much better than the alternative of farming the elemental plateau.

ill add to this map as more nodes come to light:

Enjoy.

A good way of getting primal Air, did a run yesterday saw 5 others grinding at the same time got 14 primals in 1h.

Kommentar von 53868

I'm not sure how common this is, but Blizz doesn't seem to have been very careful about the placement of the clouds. I ran into one that was completely out of reach from the island it was near to. I waited for it to move, but unlike the other clouds, these don't seem to.

Very disappointing.

Kommentar von Veron

All the nodes I've encountered are all up in the air, near a floating island JUST out of range of the extractor, thus, I can get close to them, but not close enough to extract them.

Kommentar von Sunglass

Seems implementing arena season 3 (November 27, 2007) has destroyed all the gas clouds!

I couldn't find a single one today, in fairly extensive flyovers of Nagrand and Netherstorm - my engineer friends on different servers are reporting the same thing.

Kommentar von 106703

What happened to all the clouds? It seems as though they no longer exsist since the latest patch. Anybody else experiencing this problem or is it just me?

Kommentar von krnlim

In the wow forums they said they would fix the problem on respawns in the next patch but it seems that they have fixed it earlier then that and they are back up and working. At least they are for me.

Kommentar von 62422

Well, they're definitely back--including the bugged floating ones you can't quite reach! ;)

Updated the map with my own finds: Windy Cloud

Kommentar von daia

Ive been farming these for a couple hours. Here is a map of my cartographer after I cleaned up several clouds that were found in the same general area.

Something I keep seeing in all of your maps though. The windy clouds that spawn southeast of Telaar have additional spawn points that people miss. If clouds seem to be missing in that area fly off the edge of the map where the earth elementals are they can spawn on those floating rocks down there

Kommentar von Bartur

I flew around on epic flier for about 1hr 45 min - and below is a link of the locations I noted down getting the clouds - collecting 150 motes of air.
One cloud contains 3-5 mote of air

There seems to be some odd clouds now and then spawning on edges of floating island - making them unreachable. I guess it will be fixed some time so it won't happen to often.

Fly around with your Engineering Goggles - after patch 2.3 as mentioned above = win :-)

Kommentar von 119761

this is the answer to my money problem! I grinded 17 primals in 3 hours last night, and I sell them in stacks of 2 on AH for 55g

I can make roughly 150g an hour like this

Kommentar von 124055

Sometimes these clouds become unreachable so that, you get the message "Out of range" when you want to use your mote exctratctor. Can someone advise something?
(I also tried Levitation as I'm a priest but it did not work.)

Kommentar von vixis

Added one south of Oshu'Gun at 36, 81.

EDIT - 60, 71 yielded another new cloud for my Cartographer and this map, updated it.
Another at 70, 52, updated again.

I am having the worst luck with these .. they are always out of range i would just like people to confirm if they are a gnome / elf / tauren when they are having issues reaching them just so i am sure its not because i am a gnome >.<

Kommentar von 153774

Does any1 know the respawn rate for this cloud or any of the others?

Kommentar von 157572

Found two more spawn locations and added em to the most recent map.

First one is on a small floating island above Skysong Lake at around 58, 26
-
Second one is on a floating piece of rock in the Twisting Nether south of Oshu'gun at around 24, 76

Annoying thing about this is that fix for the unreachable clouds is rather simple, they just could increase the range of the extractor slightly.

Kommentar von weylen107

do you have to be able to fly or are they on the ground?

Kommentar von 168904

Here's what I've learned after a few weeks of intensive farming.

First, you will make absolutely crazy gold with this and never have to run another daily again, period. I made 10,000g in one week selling Primals on the AH (22-29g ea.) and thats with only logging hours on evenings/nights and on the weekend.

The Windy clouds on the elevated plateaus can become bugged (right now there are 4 bugged on my Realm), and usually will not get reset until the Realm reset on Tuesdays. Upper windy cloud spawns seem to be directly related to each other... so if you have a bugged one at one plateau you will not see any spawns on one of the other plateau's you would normally see them at.

There is a bug with the minimap display that in less than 5% of the time a Gold "G" will actually be a warlock pet, and not a windy cloud... this usually refreshes within a few additional seconds.

Zapthrottle Mote Extractor

Kommentar von Thottbot

TBH, this is possible the most convenenient way to grind primal air, not only isnt there any ganking, but you can also farm veins at the same time as you fly around. The have fixed it but there is still bugged clouds where the clouds are on those floating islands but just out of range of the extractor.

I pity the poor nabs who don't have engineering. Having to grind somewhere like the plateu where they can be ganked.

Gas clouds hotfix
According to various mails and reports I got, it seems that Gas Cloud harvesting has been successfuly hotfixed and is now working again. You can now enjoy your easy primal farming again.

confirmed on my server this morning, windy clouds in nagrand are respawning :D

enjoy !

Kommentar von Thottbot

As the MANY posts say above, use the zapthrottle, if you're an engineer.

That said, several of the clouds are bugged and not in a position where they are reachable.

Kommentar von Thottbot

how do you obtain the clouds out of reach. the taking off the cloths and falling does not work it always stops the cast bar 25% through

Kommentar von Thottbot

/hate these, aprox 50% are bugged on the islands that float over nagrand, they seem to spawn on random pixels within about 50yards of and piece of rock. the last 3 mini patches have claimed to have fixed this issue. WRONG not fixed, wtb 60yard range on the mote extracto XD if u cant reach one also, dont tell a gm they just stiff u as usual

Kommentar von Thottbot

he is right. i reported these bugged clouds and the only thing the gm told me was they are investigating it. it's very annoying to fly past these all the time and think you can farm it, especially when you fall off the floating island and die trying to reach it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

30.7 X 62.7

are there any other good spots that anyone knows of in Nagrand? or elsewhere?

Kommentar von Thottbot

i got few motes in nagrand 30/62 can some1 paste coords of other clouds in nagrand and in other lands like zangramarsh netherstorm act tnx

Kommentar von Thottbot

In Nagrand some Windy Clouds are just out of reach from the floating rocks! How can these even be harvested if you cant use the mote extractor while mounted?

Kommentar von Thottbot

check out around the arena ring of trials theres usualy one there. there is also fequently one near the hord town, guaradar. and as another poster said around 30 62 i have been doin triangles for about 20 minutes and got 3 primals and lots of adamantite. 30-62 has a respawn timer of no more than 7 minutes. do homework+clicky=bling bling

seems like the respawn timer on the ones around the arena is about 15 min and the one near guardar is like 8

Kommentar von Thottbot

The fun thing about these is that they often appear near the rear ends of clefthoof...looks stinkier than they are.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just do laps around oshu'gun and kill the cyclones + clouds

Kommentar von Thottbot

im not sure if this has been said in other comments but for any engineer who loves to farm these or the ones in SMV, ZM or nethersotm, i suggest getting the GatherMate addon.

ive been using it for about a week now. farming these have become so much easier. before it would take about 3 hours for each 20 primal air (i dont farm the others) now it takes about 1 hour.
farming has been great.

get the addon! its great

edit: (also unsure if been said) theres a great spot at around 30 61 in nagrand to farm these. before i had the addon, i could farm about 10 primal air/hour just by standing around at those cords. great place for anyone who hasnt got the flying mount (as some clouds are in the floating places)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Now I want fire and nether clouds :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So far I've found these in Nagrand and you get motes of air using the mote ectracto. Felgas drops motes of shadow and is found in shadowmoon

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Every time I see the windy clouds they are HIGH in the air, you cannot get them without a parachute or something. Any ideas?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

too bad they spawn where you can't get to them

Kommentar von Allakhazam

No Idea What this is for...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Kommentar von Allakhazam

These give out Motes of Air when the Mote Extractor is used on them. They were added in with patch 2.3. Fiance has been grabbing them today and getting anywhere from 2-5 motes each time he grabs one.
