Be careful if you farm these, there is at least 1 (but I think more) 71/72 elite crystal giant thing that patrols around the lake. Hits through 6000 armor for 800-1000. And he can swim. You can at least slow and fear them, but I don't know about other stuff.

The drop rate of 33% on mote of water appears to be accurate. Great mob to farm for Primal Water, very little competition and a decent drop rate. Their only abilities are a 2 second "Water Bolt" cast and melee attacks, 100% frost damage. Take note while farming these, there are 72 elite giants named "Mountain Colossus" which patrol the general area around the lake. They are NOT immune to CC so they can be solo'd/kited/killed. They also summon smaller non-elite shardlings which can be a nuisance while fighting the elite itself.

A bit of advice for farming these in skettis as a frost mage as it can be quite frustrating...

The key is to have water breathing, either from a spell or a pot or perhaps you have some nagrand cherries left in your inv. Farm the inner circle and occasionally pull the mobs walking around the shore, it's far too much effort to clear the skettis and the water elementals at the same time so staying in the water is key. It's easy to use a combo of fireball/arcane blast and fire blast to take them down quickly. Use frost ward to absorb their water bolt and even their melee attacks, and keep ice shield up too, then they should never land a hit.

On the southern shore of the central island, and on the eastern shore are numerous spots where it is safe to stand and drink. The only dangerous things you have to watch out for then is Alluvion (elite water elemental on the southern side) and opposing faction farmers.

Great place to farm for Warlocks, just swim around the water clock wise and pick off all the mobs in the water. If you want, you can try to pick off some of the ones near the coast, but the giants and other mobs there can argo you, and they walk on water much faster then you can swim. Another problem for staying on land is that there are stealth herbalist picking rare herbs that spawn there every 10-15 minutes. The rogues can be sap you and the patrolling mobs will eventually walk into you.

The elementals themelves are very easy to beat if you have pet, however, they still randomly shoot their 2 second ice bolt at you at times.

When I farm the place in clock wise, i got 61.2 motes per hour.

wups, sorry my bad, don't know anything about the mountain colossus, I meant talonsworn forest-rager :p

Now that the eels in terokkar drop mote of water fairly easy and the lake where the eels are at has been totally crowded this place is even better to grind at than before. There is no competition over these mobs and they go down easy enough aswell - due to the crowd at the eel place this is in my opinion the best spot to farm mote of water (apart from fishing) in game. Another great thing is that you can also do the daily skyguard quests nearby whilst grinding them.

I don't know if they've changed it lately but for me drop rate for mote of water is close to 50%. I have now gathered 490 motes from these in 974 kills, so either I'm incredibly lucky or 34% isn't right any more.

Commento di 129559

I have killed 50 of them now, and gotten 2 motes... Drop rate is more awfull than form lake spirits.

Commento di 49116

has the droprate changed since the new patch? Because the droprate is very low for me, got like 3 motes from killing 40 mobs!

Commento di 158944

nah man....i just got done farming. got like 40 motes, on some 80-100 kills. just bad luck for you

Commento di Thottbot

These mobs are wicked! nice drops and freakin fast respawn rate.... aslo very easy to pull sinc ethey don't aggro the birdies where they patrol around
there also alot in the water atm this place is also not so known to other players. hopes it stay's this way! :)

Commento di Thottbot

do you need flying mount to get here?

Commento di Thottbot

farmed em for about 16 hours straight... yea i know, get a life right.. but it was worth it, i got about 125 primal waters, sold em on ah made a fortune!

Commento di Thottbot

today i farmed for half an hour and i got 2 primal waters and 7 essence of water. i think that needs to be added to the drops

Commento di Thottbot

These things are amazing. 3 hours of farming and I managed to get about 8 green drops, 162 mote (16 primals) and 9 essence of water. All in all they were averaging about a 75% drop rate for 1-2 motes. That was well worth the three hours.

Commento di Thottbot

Ehh i've farmed those much before. now at the new patch 2.1.0 it seams that they are nerfed as hell.. i killed lot's of them in 1 hour and just got 1 primal that's so wierd

Commento di Thottbot

They do not give any Skyguard rep.

Commento di Thottbot

I'll have to agree with the poster that stated that the drop rate has been nerfed. Been farming for over three hours for a total of 3 primals

Commento di Thottbot

every mob dropped 1-2 freaking drop rate and very quick spawn. they are very easy to pull and kill :P

Commento di Thottbot

Nerfed, i killed 32 of those and it dropped Mote of Waterx7 -.-

Commento di Thottbot

haha i killed 37 of these and one dropped Staff of Natural Fury !

Commento di Thottbot

there's been no nerf on these, i only farm primal waters for gold and in 30 minutes i get anywhere from 3-5 primals =/

Commento di Thottbot

I didn't have quite the luck as some of the people in the aforementioned comments. I did get 4 primal mana, 1 essence of water, and 3 green drops (which equaled 15 arcane dust to help make imbued netherweave cloth) in an hour of farming. This came out to a bit less than the drop rate posted on thot bott but still not bad. Good luck and have fun!

Commento di Thottbot

I was farming for about 2 hours...got 7 greens 7 primals...like 100 elemental fragments or w/e --equals like 10-15g
and The essence focaser or w/e so im happy bout that

Commento di Thottbot

the guys that are getting more primals than others, are you guys lock/preist/mages? and are the ppl that get bugger all primals classes like worrior/shaman/rogue? if that is the case, lock/preist/mage can kill 3-5 mobs at once, while the rest can only kill 2 at once if their lucky

Commento di Thottbot

About how often are you guys getting Charlotte's Ivy?Nice money but dont know how often it drops.... A % isnt enough to help

Commento di Thottbot

These guys are for serious money makers. First off of course there is about a 50% drop rate for 1-2 motes. Second off they more then often drop a green that will sell for about 2-5g. I'm farming these guys forever!

Commento di Thottbot

After reading about the drop rate for motes I went to try it out. For me it was the best drop rate I have found for water motes. 1.5 hours of farming I received 4 primals and several greens plus 4 low class weapons worth 5-8g at vendor. I basically got all my primals within an hour because the last 30 minutes I received only 2 motes. Don't know why. Mage here...don't know if that makes a difference. Used underwater breathing potion...didn't have to surface which made things go faster.

Commento di Thottbot

finally something that drops motes so fast that the chat doesn't fade in the meantime.

Commento di Thottbot

This place pwns drops plenty of greens and super easy to get motes and they drop a few epics which is nice and many blues which is also nice...if u plan on coming here u should stay here for a bit unless ur a hunter that needs to get arrows or bullets.

Commento di Thottbot

I haven't tried any other spots for farming these motes, but I went to Blackwind Lake in Skettis and killed the Skettis Surgers after reading the comments here. I got, in exactly 2 hours of grinding: 113 motes of water, about 4-5 stacks of each of the grey items they drop (elemental shards, etc), 4 lvl 68-69 green drops and an Essence of Water. Vendored the trash for 21g and made my first piece of the Frozen Shadoweave set ^.^ I'm a lvl 70 pve Fire mage (respecced from Frost to farm this kind of mobs) in quest/instance blues and I was mowing through them, they were mostly 2-3 shots, depending on crits. Good respawn also inside the lake, just remember to bring an underwater breathing potion or you will be very frustrated afterwards. Good luck and happy farming :)

Commento di Thottbot

Just dropped a purple item Leggings of Beast Mastery. I am well happy

Commento di Thottbot

Not saying that the surgers are nerfed, but 1 hour yielded 2 primals for me :/ I think i'll stick to my dot macro on the eels

" /castsequence reset=combat/target corruption, siphon life, curse of agony "

Commento di Thottbot

I really hope these arn't nerfed cuz i need to start getting primals for my shaowweave set :/

Commento di Thottbot

in 50 min....got 3 primal waters about 5g worth of vendor 3 more motes of water and a 70g blue :-) I like these guys...Woot...now i have a chance for epic flyer...

Commento di Thottbot

In 2 hours: (Dragonmaw Server)

8 primals
2 greens

Commento di Thottbot

nerfed!:(( place to farm now is nagrand , muck spawns, 15 minutes farming made me 10g vendorfood,2 primals and 1 essence of water, shhh dont tell other poeple!:)

Commento di Thottbot

I farmed this place for the first time tonight. In two hours, I got 7 primals, 5 67+ greens, 2 essences of water, and a ton of vendor trash. I also did the hungry nether-whatever quest, which was good for 11g and 250 skyguard rep. All told, I came away with around 75g. As a ret spec pally, I was killing them in 10-15 seconds with average gear. Easy money, good place to farm. Primal water is going for around 17-18 gold on my server (Rexxar).

Commento di Thottbot

I farmed these in Blackwind Lake and about 1 out of 6 dropped at least one mote of water. Which to me is better than what I was getting in Shadowmoon Valley I think it took 1 out of 30 before I got anything. Its just going to take a little longer to make the Frozen Shadoweave Shoulders than I thought, and buying this stuff on the AH is not an option the prices are insane. And at least this way Im making money on all the trash drops :)

Commento di Thottbot

Anyone ever thought of ganking here so wouldnt that throw off your time of farm?

Commento di Thottbot

i was killing them whole night to grind some money when i was going back to city i was like "let's kill last one" and Staff of natural fury dropped :) and also there drops a lots of blue's green's some epics patterns and world drops.It is nice place for grinding if your affliction lock its just doting all elementals around you.It is nice place for grinding!

Commento di Thottbot

Grinded these for 1 hour yesterday on kilrogg EU yielding:
82 motes of water (8 primals)
5 greens, sold for about 20g to vendor
Loads of other trash - got about 15g vending them

and

Blade of Wizardry (!) - sold for 1600g.

= happy mage

Commento di Thottbot

I just had Singing Crystal Axe drop off these while farming motes of water.

Commento di Thottbot

Farmed for 1hr. Got 3 Primal Waters woth, and 10G worth of vender trash, and 21G worth of AH armor. Kindov think its worth farming

Commento di Thottbot

OMG I LOOOOVE THESE THINGS 3 or 4 primal waters and hour...WEWT!(ring Underwater Breathing Pots)

Commento di Thottbot

I think they nerfed the drop rate on these things, because I've been farming them for awhile and they used to drop pretty often, now I've been getting like 1 mote every 25 kills.

Has anyone else been having this problem?

EDIT:
About 30 mins later drop rate kicked up again. If you find yourself in the position I was in, just don't give up!

Commento di Thottbot

If you can handle it, try and kill the level 72 elite, sometimes he will drop 3-4 motes. He's a little tough but if you're a warlock you can constantly fear him.

Commento di Thottbot

1 hour (Run 1):

5 primal (100g on AH)
2 gray (3g vendor)
3 green (20g vendor)

gold/hour = ~123g
----------------------------------------
1 hour (Run 2):

5 primal (100g on AH)
3 gray (4g vendor)
2 green (10g vendor)

gold/hour = ~114g
----------------------------------------
1 hour (Run 3):

4 primal (80g on AH)
2 gray (3g vendor)
3 green (15g vendor)

gold/hour = ~98g
----------------------------------------

Total gold for 3 hours = 123g + 114g + 98g = 335g
Average gold/hour = 335g/3 = 111g

----------------------------------------

I am a shadow priest and used underwater breathing potion. Server time was between 5pm-8pm. That being said, dedicate 3 hours a day that is (335x5) or 1675g per week.

Commento di Thottbot

I've been farming these mobs for quite some time, and i found out that sometimes they drop even more than greens.
I have gotten 3 epics here: Will of edward the odd, Lighting crown andThe Night Blade

I know for a fact that other epics have dropped here to

Commento di Thottbot

Commento di Allakhazam

im sure the drop rate is the same for all of the mobs, but after being here for a few hours i found the surgers on the south west side of the lake had the best drop rate for me.

Commento di Allakhazam

Commento di Allakhazam

Got a nice Design: Heavy Felsteel Ring off of them..too bad they didn't drop me plans instead...but yeah, these guys drop motes pretty often. 1-2 here and there, averages at 100% of the time for me.

Commento di Allakhazam
