This item is the next step after Mote of Air.

Comment by Anesh

Anyone know if these can be extracted by an engineer.
Like the motes of air could?

Comment by tehMurloc

The Crystallized elements are the WOTLK's equivalent to TBC's Motes (Such as Mote of Air).
In the same way, WOTLK's Eternal elements correspond TBC's Primals (such as Primal Air).

Like in the TBC, 10 lesser elements (Crystallized Air) can be turned into a greater one (Eternal Air).
A greater (Eternal Air) element can then be turned back into ten lesser elements (Crystallized Air).

I have found Enraged Tempest's and they drop these.

Also, near them are Fire and Water elementals. I have killed some of each and have confirmed that they drop the corrisonding Crystallized materials (Air, Fire, Water).

This is basically the new Elemental Plateu from Nagrand

Thanks to my handy-dandy Zapthrottle Mote Extractor I have been extracting Crystallized Air and Crystallized Water from the Arctic Clouds floating above the frozen waterfall near the border of Howling Fjord/Grizzly Hills located between Camp Winterhoof and Fort Wildervar.

The spawn for the clouds seems to be fairly fast, (as I typed this up, a couple of clouds have come back) and they are fairly close together. I believe there are six clouds total, in groups of twos, at each tier of the frozen waterfall.

(Thanks Criyos, forgot some may not know about my favorite item)

EDIT: This post was made during the beta, and there were concentrations of clouds... whereas now the clouds are much more spread out around the zones.

Howling cyclones in howling fjord also drop crystallized air

best way to farm Crystallized Air is from mining titanium ore :(

100% chance to drop off Tempest Revenants from Lake Wintergrasp. From what I've found, they mostly spawn in the southern regions below the towers. Note that you can only see Revenants if your faction has control of Lake Wintergrasp.

Each Elemental Revenant in Wintergrasp has a 100% drop chance of their perspective crystallized elements. The mob list of Revenants is as follows:

Earthbound Revenant - Can be found spread around the land areas.
Fire Revenant - Found mostly in the charred southeastern area on the map.
Tempest Revenant - Unconfirmed but I've found them mostly in the south.
Water Revenant - Can be found swimming under or above water areas.
Shadow Revenant - Found mostly in the Forest of Shadows to the southwest.

I haven't found any revenants for Crystallized Life, I believe there are none. Lashers in the southwest, grassy area have a chance to drop them however.

I farm these from the Scions of Storm in The Howling Hollow cave in Storm Peaks. The cave is full of the Scions and nothing else. Sometimes they drop two at a time. I would say at about a 30% drop rate.

If you are a miner there are at least 5 saronite spawns and possible titainium in this cave.

Just hope you have more luck than i did...30+ mobs and no motes

Comment by kxy1983

It feels like the drop rate has been lowered on these, I just killed 75 steam ragers in scalding pools in borean, and only got 8 motes, a week ago i was getting a solid 35% droprate over thousands of kills, my mobinfo addon still says 32 and 35% depending on the addon, but im just killing these over and over and getting almost nothing
I hope this hasnt been nerfed because its been my main source of income for my lvl 80 rogue, ive sold hundreds of eternal airs

EDIT: I take it back, i must have just had an unlucky streak, over the next 20 kills i got enough motes for 2 eternals, seems like the droprate is still the same, would be nice if they dropped silver coin as well

The entrance to The Howling Hollow is in Storm Peaks at approximately 66, 42.

The Scion of Storm drop Crystallized Air frequently, and also drop Relics of Ulduar (soon to be BOE and used for The Sons of Hodir rep).

Alliance beware: the Horde seem to have a quest in this cave.

Comment by terminalman

Patch 3.0.3, just killed 115 Steam Ragers in Borean Tundra (scalding pools), got 35 Crystallized Air, drop rate 31%. Mobs are spread out, no patrols.
So it's easy enough but still takes a while compared to the higher-level air elementals.

Comment by tecnobrat

The "Reagent for" tab shows that it requires 9 Crystallized Air to create an Eternal Air, however the way Blizzards spell works is a little misleading.

You "Use" one of the Crystallized Air's which casts a spell that requires another 9 to create an Eternal. It requires 10 in total.

I play on Undermine-US. One of the problems our server faces is being vastly outnumbered by the Alliance (1:4 H:A Ratio, last time I checked). This means that almost every day, we don't control Wintergrasp...unless some momentous effort is organized by a guild or something. This usually means that we have to get a bit more inventive with farming, especially with a guild as small as mine. While questing in the Storm Peaks, I found a good farm spot for Crystallized Air.

North of the Tunka'Lo Village, there are two caves. One of those caves is the burial grounds of the Tunka'Lo and further north is a cave where a certain mob (Scion of Storm) drops both Crystallized Air and Relics of Ulduar. Great place to get good items, and the drop rates seem fairly stable.

Comment by hosermage

The camp NE of camp winterhoof in howling fjord is devoid of any arctic clouds... so you'll have to go elsewhere with your mote extractor. As of patch 3.0.8.

Comment by Kristopher

Note that you can also place these on your action bars, to make it easier to keep track of them/convert them to eternals.
