These start yellow and turn green at skill 345. I made them until 350 and got decent skillup even from 345-350. Very cheap 15 skill points. As for what it does, just shoots smoke into the air.

Comentario de PainKiller

I stopped at 345... I'm so unlucky that I did 8 of those before get to 345 from 340.

These don't really have much of a purpose other than just grinding engineering skill. The only other thing I can think of would be for marking points of interest in a raid. As in the tank stands on the blue flare, have the boss on the red one, and everyone else on the white. That might be useful....

Comentario de 27564

Given that these are free off vendors (like Qiff in Netherstorm), it doesn't hurt to pick them up when nearby.

I use a few for position marking on occasion, like marking limits I shouldn't exceed to stay in the healer's casting range on a few boss fights. Otherwise they are mostly worthless.

Comentario de 5409

Note: they work at unlimited visual range, line of sight restricted.

So you can place a marker somewhere and people can see it across the zone.

As an occasional raid leader, I've found these fairly useful in certain boss fights. To date, the most useful one is Prince in Karazhan; if a tank needs to move a long distance, rather than the normal few steps left or right, I can throw one down, the tank can see where it is, and move after the next Enfeeble/Shadow Nova cycle. Sure beats trying to yell out in Vent what you want the poor tank to do.

Why can I use one I tried usin one in SW

Comentario de smoo

Got one by fishing in steam plump garbage. Nice fun.

Comentario de 58054

Best use I've found for them is visual screen in the BGs. multiple side by side gives a wall against sight wherever you want it.

Comentario de Brandon1827

These used to be free but blizz made them cost 10s

Comentario de 104408

these aren't usable in main cities such as orgrimmar so if you wanna make some smoke plumes there, don't waste your time

Comentario de Buffalo

For a Gnome Engineer, this skill turns yellow at 360 skill.

That means you can skill up engineer by making it until 365 - 370, which helps a lot if you are pursuing in making the Khorium Destroyer or any other cool stuff at 375 skill.

Comentario de 124645

These are fun for art purposes, too!

Comentario de 91244

Does not break stealth when used.

Comentario de 90119

These are great for the Heigan the Unclean fight in Naxx. Use them to mark the four safe zones during the dance phase.

Comentario de 180686

My raid leader used these quite a bit for my first time in Naxx. They were especially helpful for Heigan the Unclean and since they stay up for while I had the rhythm down by the time they disappeared.
If you have an engineer in your guild who can make these it's a good idea to help them do so and put them in the guild bank for raids.

Comentario de Waus

This is what you can do for fun with the smoke!

I've found that throwing these in the fountain in Dalaran is a great way to get your server's fishers to hate you.

Comentario de Cykotikone

A single person can have a maximum of 60 flares of the ground at a time with the 5 second cooldown.

Comentario de 111622

If you run too far away from your own Smoke Flares, they'll disappear. I've just smoked up the Horde's entire side to Dalaran, ran to the Landing real quick, ran back within 3 seconds (rocket boots) and they're all gone.

So if you're working on a pretty art show with these, don't leave them, you gotta stick around.

These are great for marking fish feast in 25 mans like Ony where a feast can be hard to find sometimes.

Comentario de Exceval41

Looks like you cant use these in cities anymore. Tried to throw one in Shattrath and i got a "You can't use that here" message

Comentario de jisforjosh

These and the other smoke flares are great for marking the Spirit Alarms in ICC should your group want the extra rep from killing the guards but not the hassle of pulling one or more during a trash pull.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Okay I hope someone figures out what these are for. I made a couple and used them, testing a number of theories.

Turns out that NO ONE can see them except for ME! I don't get it... I'll post this on the other flares too.

Edit: Tried it out a few more times and suddenly others CAN see it... I was in Honor Hold at the time no one could see it.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i got like 20 of theese fishing in zangramarsh can't be sold or anything.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Use: Throw a white smoke flare at a specific location that lasts for 5 minutes.

And where might that location be?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Also, these appear to be free from the engineering vendor in Shattrath. Whenever I run by, I see if he has any. I slowly built up a free stack of 20. Guess I'll try selling it in the AH for a few gold.

Comentario de Thottbot

is it the same as a hunter's flare? it doesnt say anything about showing stealthed players or anything.

Comentario de Thottbot

Just tested these with a rogue friend, and it doesn't make any difference at all. From what I can tell, they don't do anything other than looking almost cool. Doesn't detect stealth, doesn't summon help in Zangarmarsh, or anything. It is good however to skill you up to about 350 (or 355 if you don't mind a lot of failures)

Comentario de Thottbot

Could be useful in a raid. Group one on the white flare, group two on the green, and so on. Who knows, lol, but I have to agree with the skill fodder thing.

Comentario de Thottbot

Looks cool, and thats it

But aspiring engineers take note, this device will carry you a fair deal through engineering, it's really easy to make, and good for at least 20-25 levels of engineering, don't pass it up.

Comentario de Thottbot

It has not been establish yet if you can summon more than one at a time, but if you can:

PvP use: Make a crapload of these and just blast em off in the opponents flag room before you go in, smoke grenades FTW! if you just blast a ton, maybe the enemys computers FPS will die and they'll get d/c =D

PvE use: ...It looks pretty?

Basically just the BG one is what I see, and thats mostly for people who just want to waste the ones they made to lvl up, other than that, you can do lotsa neat things with fireworks and these combined, its just a neat visual thing that may be usful in mass quantitys.

Comentario de Thottbot

No doubt that given the length and various colors that these are for marking things in PvE instances and raids. I.E. green flare = MT, white flare = boss or whatever.

Comentario de Thottbot

I submitted a screen shot above, not sure when it will show up, you can use more than one of these at a time. I stopped at 4 of them. It has about a 5sec cool down, and it lasts for 5mins, so you could put down quite a few before the first one would disappear. You can actually throw these a good distance. It would definitely be out of most agro ranges. I think that the raid targeting would mark targets better though. The only use I could see would be maybe concealment and marking a place. Say something like set your trap here, or have the tank draw the boss to this spot, and everyone AOE. Not really that useful, just a cheap way to level eng.

Comentario de Thottbot

The smoke can be seen no matter what altitude you are at.

Comentario de Thottbot

The Ethereal Wind Trader in Shattrah has this schematic, (1) limited supply.

Comentario de Thottbot

i am a armorsmith warrior, i can buy these from vendors around out lands, like the gnome in toshley's station. This allows for a grp of guys to throw flares on the ground and do an impromto fashion show. lol. Seriously though, how often do you get an item at a vendor that doesn't cost anything, these cant be sold to vendors because the vendors GIVE them away. throw this at the ground and sit underneath it, looks like your head is emitting steam... /emote ***** is letting off some steam.

Comentario de Thottbot

It's good for the raid leader to use these to pop smoke to tell people(usually #$%^&*s) where to stand during boss fights.

Comentario de Thottbot

A handy tool for party/raid leading. Can be made by the largely-unknown guild engineer for metaphorical pennies, and provides a really obvious STAND HERE mark.

And anyone who says that that wouldn't be useful during a raid (I.E. teaching new people the fights, reminding %^&*!@s, making it VERY clear where you want) hasn't raided enough.

The range on these is huge... WELL out of aggro range of anything.

And, did I mention they can be thrown by non-engineers? Make them for easy skillups, then hand them over to a raid leader.

Comentario de Thottbot

These things are animated well, looks just like cartoon smoke.

Comentario de Thottbot

How does horde get this schematic? Since it is sold by an alliance vendor? help plz

Comentario de Thottbot

the guy in area 52 sells the green ones wonder why they are free tho

Comentario de Thottbot

This is great to get my engineer skill up... thought I'd had to do a lot of toolboxes, but no... this helped a lot :)

Comentario de Thottbot

i think this is good for many uses .. just be creative.. and why use them for PvE when you have the Skull and X things... anyways they look cool

Comentario de Thottbot

The flares are good for fight's where positioning really matters - i.e Nightbane.

We drop a flare where the small skull is ( the spot that Nightbane lands around, and one where the tank needs to fight. During the fight wheres there charred earth, frost, smoke and one very large dragon, even with pulling the screen way back its hard to position everyone. Hence smoke flares are excellent.

Not to mention when you do new fights - you can use the flares to position those new to the fight.

Comentario de Thottbot

Hi, im a lvl 6 belf and bought 1 White Smoke Flare from goblin Viggz Shinesparked, right opposite from Lower City's Quartermaster, Nakodu.
Problem is that item say
"Use: Throw a white smoke flare at a specific location that lasts for 5 min."
So when i am trying to throw it, i get this red message "You can't use that here".

Anyone facing same problem?
can't figure out how to throw this damn thing.
PS: I don't have engineering but still the item doesn't get to be red for me. It just tell me i cant throw it where i am (wherever that be).

Comentario de Thottbot

Does not work in inns(and major cities) works everywhere else. Just like steam tonks.

Comentario de Thottbot

Our raid leader actually uses these to mark the positions where we have to stand during a pull/fight /whatever.

So there is some use for them =P

Comentario de Thottbot

I talked to both NPC's in Shat and neither of them had offered it to me. Why is that? I want it bad to level up my engineering.

Comentario de Thottbot

On my server these sell like hot cakes at the AH - 5G + for a stack or more - considering the cost to make and that you just about have to make them - good to make some easy money. I actually came on here to see if I needed to keep them for a higher level pattern because they sell so well and I can't see that much of a use for them other than what has been stated.

Comentario de Thottbot

i'm in Shattrath and looking at Fantei and he has no flares to sell, gordie sells nothing BUT Viggz Shinesparked has the flares and he is right in front of Fantei. Viggz is an Engineering supplier and just sold me two white flares. Thottbott may be wrong lol

Comentario de Thottbot

It can be seen over much greater distance than mobs. So yeah, air support :D

Comentario de Thottbot

Have some engineers RocketBootsXtreme+SlowFall around =D That'd be like a massive parachute assault! Mmm... has anyone tried target practice while flying around with RocketBootsXtreme+FilledFestiveMug combo? Caus these are perfect to mark your blastoff zone for increased accuracy takeoffs. Ever since i saw the "Flying Dwarf" on youtube i was dreaming of a massive parachute assault on Orgri, landing on their Flight Master tower and Sapper Charging to your hearts content. Imagine 5 engineers, taking off a landing strip in Winterspring that is marked with these things, to land exactly in 1 place in Orgri and take out the Flight Master... Would have been a perfect answer to the "Bombing Ironforge" vid...

I'd imagine putting 2 flares about 10-20 feet apart from each other and starting running at the first, aiming for the second... Then take the Filled Festive Mug and use the Rocket Boots Xtreme for blastoff. If the second guy does the same, they will theoretically land in the same place(hopefully, on the Flight Master tower in Orgri).

Edit: forgot to add item links

Comentario de Thottbot

Maybe you can write rude messages with smoke flares to allies flying over you? I bet it won't be obfusicated ^^

Comentario de Thottbot

THis is the cheapest way to get up your engineering i got mine from 335 to 360 and that was just from the stuff in my bank. The plans for these are sold from a guy in the lower city in shatt along with some other usefull engineering items.

Comentario de Thottbot

just randomly drop them round nagrand to confuse other engineers without goggles for detecting gar clouds lol

Comentario de Thottbot

THEY ARE FUN TO USE AND PLAY WITH!
