If you're an enchanter you're going to run into a huge need for Nether Essence right around the 250-260 skill level. Unfortunately it's tough to come by and expensive at the AH (7gp apiece on my realm). But I've found a way to manufacture the stuff, provided you have a little patience and also have access to tailoring skills.

The key is Black Mageweave Headband (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=10024). This headband has a 20% droprate for Greater Nether Eseence when disenchanted, but there is a good chance to receive more than one per disenchant! So go to Dunemaul (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=5471) in Tanaris and farm the ogres (all variants) there for mageweave, you can get up to x3 pieces per kill, you'll get a drop on nearly every kill, and they respawn very quickly. In about an hour I managed to get 8 stacks. Bolt these pieces using tailoring, and make Black Mageweave Headband (3 bolts + 2 Heavy Silken Thread). Out of about a dozen headbands I got 5 Greater Nether Essence.

If you have access to lots of heavy leather you can also make Black Mageweave Boots which have a disenchant rate of like 25% for Greater Nether Essence.

I soloed Uldaman on this advice and there's simply no way you could have gotten 20 pieces of Greather Nether Essence there. Clearly the green drops are not even in the required level range, only a couple of blue drops stand a small chance of disenchanting into Greather Nether Essence, and about five blues have around 16% chance of DE into Lesser Nether Essence.

Just look at the drop list for Uldaman: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/zone=1337

However, I did get a couple of Large Radiant Shard (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=11178) so it wasn't a totally wasted effort. Just nothing in the way of Nether Essence.

Aleflusher post is 100% amazing ^^

but just to add a further note * I managed to get to skill level 250 enchanting just by using tailor made items these include-
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=6238 Low levels
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=7053 Med levels
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=10003 Higher levels
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=10024 Higher levels ( the item Aleflusher suggested)

These 4 itemz will DE into all the mats needed to get you to skill level of about 260

Also note this method is essentially free if you have enough linen cloth, wool cloth, silk cloth and mageweave and can be leveled at the same time you level your tailoring. i however ended up buying alot of the cloth and the results were around 33% cheaper than straight up buying the mats needed excluding the runecloth because of the ammount needed to get the right mats

Despite what you may see here, it does take three Lesser Essences to create a Greater Essence. What you see here is actually a quirk of the way Blizzard handles the spell. On Blizzard's end, a two-step process occurs:

You use the first Lesser Essence, destroying it in the process.
A spell is cast, which destroys the other two Lesser Essences, and creates a Greater Essence.

This spell here--step two--is the spell that gets listed here on Wowhead.

best way i found.... atleast on my server is to go on the AH and search level 41-45 armor, and buyout anything from 1-1.5g... it seems that at any given point there are 10-15 items in there, and by disenchanting all of the items i normally end up with 3-4 greater nethers and some Vision/Dream dust.

As i said that is on my server, im not sure about other servers.

Комментарий от 128721

it is great to farm and sell on my server....ill scan the auction house looking for weps lvl 42-45 tht are 4g or cheaper and i will de them and 1/3 of the times i get 2 of these and they sell for 5g each easily so u can make a huge profit off these if done correctly!

Комментарий от cyberdreck

try witherbark trolls Jin'althor for mageweave they also drop wildvine

Both Auctioneer and Fizzwidget's Disenchant Predictor can help you find Weapons and armor that have a higher than normal chance to drop Greater Nether Essences. Most armor and weapons give you a 20% chance to drop GN, but some give 80%. This is almost never factored into the price of the weapon.

By mousing over everything in the right level range, you can quickly find these hidden nuggets and be assured of greater profits! I still buy the items that only give 20% chance, but I have a lower price that I'm willing to pay and the weird thing is that there is almost never a premium for the "better" item.

I've had far better success finding Greater Nether this way than, for example, Greater Eternal Essences. Probably because more folks scan the AH for stuff in the range that drops GEs.

These are nice, and sell for about 10-13g on my Exodar each.

You can buy 40-50 greens for less than that, so you can make a profit.

Комментарий от LilDorth

just sold 10 of theses on my ah guy for 130g makes a lot of money

Комментарий от 187610

these sell for about 14 gold on my server i have made about 350g in 5 days just buying all the green weapons i see lvl 41-45 less than 10g and disenchanting them. I have gotten 2 pretty often which is high profit. It only takes 5 min a day to buy and disenchant then re list on ah.

Комментарий от Fenrari

White Bandit Mask if you have a tailor with the pattern has a decent chance of d/e-ing into these. The mats are cheaper than the ones listed above.

Комментарий от Gyft

Ignore all that outdated crap up top - go solo farm Zul'Farrack. Black Mageweave Headband gives you 90% dream dust and only 1 of that so forget it. ZF has crap tonnes of mageweave too so its worth it for time and money

Комментарий от 405835

I disenchanted 27 Black mageweave headbands and didnt even recieve one lesser nether essence let alone a greater!
(I needed to level my tailoring so it wasnt a total waste)
I think im just gunna save up 500g and buyout all the weapons and armor i can find for cheap on the AH... :(

I found a nice place to farm these Essences.
It's in Stranglethorn Vale. There's a chest at coords 47.6 42.4, and every time I looted it I found at least one green item, which always gave me 2 Greater Nether Essences per disenchant.
Then, while you are waiting for the respawn of the Solid Chest, you can easily kill the mobs around there, which drop nice items for disenchant. I was able to get some Lesser Nether Essences and also a Greater one in half an hour from mobs, and 6 Greater ones from the Chest.
You can kill especially Skullsplitter Spiritchaser, 'cause if you disenchant the items they drop there's a better chance to get the essences than the items dropped by the other mobs there.

If you are less patient (and if you have Tailoring skill), you can actually try to take this essences from the recipe Black Mageweave Headband, which requires 230 in Tailoring skill, 3 Bolts of Mageweave and 2 Heavy Silken Thread. Anyway remember that disenchanting this item you will only have the 20% chance to get 1 or 2 Greater Nether Essences.
That's all I can say about farming this damned materials... They're very important to improve enchanting until 280.

EDIT: while farming in stranglethorn I found another Solid Chest near the one mentioned before. It's at coords 47.3 40.
I hope it will help ^^

Zul'Farrak is also a good place to farm GNE, especially if you're a tailor or know a friend who is. The mobs drop a LOT of silk and mageweave, which can be used to make the Black Mageweave Headband as stated above, and also a few greens here and there that can be DE'd for nether essence as well. Plus they drop a lot of vendor trash you can sell (be sure to go in with plenty of space in your backpack) for a few gold per run. I usually just run the instance up to the burial mounds, which takes me about 40 minutes or so (72 mage), and usually get about three stacks each of silk and MW and a couple of greens. Hope this helps. : )

I'm not sure how it is on other servers, but on my server these things are solid money-makers. They regularly sell in the AH for 4g-5g apiece. The secret is to purchase Uncommon (green) weapons of level 41-45. They almost ALWAYS disenchant into 1-2 Greater Nether Essence (I've gotten Dream Dust one or two times). Considering that you can find qualifying weapons to disenchant for a 2g buyout, that leaves a hefty profit margin.

Certainly is a lot easier than disenchanting armor, which normally drops dust of one kind or another.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Just made 14 headbands, got 4 greater out of em, and 3 large radiant shards.

Комментарий от Thottbot

These things sell for rediculous prices on my server, Draenor. like 10 gold+ for a greater and 3.5g+ for a lesser.

Комментарий от Thottbot

These things are going for 5-8g apiece on my server, a very nice money maker =)

Комментарий от Thottbot

From past experiences I would easily Nightscape pants are the way to go if you want to get greater nethers, they drop them quite frequesntly.
From a load of 6 pants I got as follows: 3 dream dust, 6 greater nether essence, 2 large radiant shards. Not guaranteeing anything this good, but I infact got that from 6 Nightscape pants

Комментарий от Thottbot

Ok Nether essences will come from green/blue items between level 41 and 50. Best places to farm for these are in ZF and ST, with ST being my personal favorite since I've had more green items drop there than in ZF. Also another thing I've noticed but won't claim to be a fact of wow life is that the higher the level the item (within the given parameters) the more of an item they will DE into. For instance a level 41 item will DE into one essence or upwards of two to three vision dusts. Where as a level 49 item will DE to around three esssences and upwards of 4 dusts.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I have had great success making a profit in this manner:

At the auction house, search for weapons level 40-45.
I usually pay no more than 5g per weapon.
Each weapon disenchants into two greater nether essence, sometimes one.
The essences sell for upwards of 5g per on my server.

So, if you are lucky, you can usually make a 5g profit per weapon purchased.

Just some fun common sense economics :)

Комментарий от Thottbot

i dissenchanted 10 items between 41-45, maybe im just unlycky :/ only got dreamdust and one large radiant shard

Комментарий от Thottbot

Weapons Weapons Weapons! Got 5 of em of ZF the other day

Комментарий от Thottbot

this sounded like a good deal, DE weapons and get 8g per nether. well, it's crap. the percentage of the drop from a weapon is high, granted but not 100%. more like 60%. I farmed ogres in tanaris, made up a bunch of headbands and got more from that. bad luck? go figure. it cost a hell of a lot less, too. just a bit of coin for some thread and a friendly guild tailor. the ogres drop mageweave like cake and pie, had almost 8 stacks in an hours time. that's about 10 headbands or so.

then again, if you've got the money, hit up the Ah for the nether themselves. 8g a pop here on skywall.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Black Mageweave headbands for Nether essences? NO! Ive been making those #&%$@#$ headbands all day and only got 1 greater nether essence. Blizzard changed it with 2.4 cause I havnt gotten more than 1. I asked around and others confirmed it.
Lies I tell you! LIES! as of now anyway lol.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Im finding it impossible to find these things! Level 40 to 45 weapons cost at least 5G and nether essences cost at least 12G on Turalyon! I have enough dust to fill un'goro crater but no essences!

Комментарий от Thottbot

It definately got easier once I got passed the dreaded nether essences point. It was a couple of weeks ago, and seemed far worse than I remember it being with my last enchanter. I actually went and soloed the front of several instances looking for uncommon drops. I used up all my quests for these levels without getting the 25 or so greater essences one needs to get past this enchanting period. My enchanting is now almost maxed, and nether essences were without a doubt the hardest period to enchant. If they had given a dust only recipie like many other levels did, it would have never been an issue. Before I ever got my first 20 greater nether essences, I had 160+ dusts. That's just absurd. As for buying essenses, I've never done it and at 100g for 10 great essences on my server, you can see why.

Unfortunately, buying 41-45 uncommon weapons on my server was next to impossible. I'm guessing enchanters bought anything under 5 gold simply to disenchant. And on occassion sell.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Confirmed: 8 black mageweave headbands just gave me 2* 2 greater nether essence :)

Комментарий от Thottbot

hey Black megaweave headbands get my vote! Mak' um and level up in enchanting! Every other one came out as Greater Nether Essence and all the rest were Dream Dust!

Комментарий от Thottbot

Haven't tried the other suggestions yet, but I bought 3 pairs of Nightscape pants for 2G a piece and got 4 greater nether essences and a large radiant shard. Thanks to Ruggedmaster for the tip.

Комментарий от Thottbot

The nightscape pants totatly work, DEing ten of them I got 10 greater nethers and 4 dream dust, such a big help with cutting costs.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Don't know why everyone is freaking out. It has been said a few times to DE GREEN WEAPONS between leveling 41-45. Not blue weapons, not green pants (although it has a chance to drop it, Just very low)GREEN WEAPONS!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Anyone know any recipes in tailoring that disnenchant into this or have a better than good chance of getting this?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I don't know of any tailored items that produce essences regularly. Based on the data I have been collecting on my own enchanting, the best chance would be a weapon in the lvl 41-45 range. Lesser would drop on 36-40 lvl weapons.
Hope this helps. Even though you could get it on armor the highest rate for essences are on weapons. You might get a shard on just about anything but lvl 36-40 would produce a Small Radiant shard and lvl 41-45 would make a Large Radiant shard.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

rose colored glasses or whatever de into this often too, from 7 3 were nether essence, the rest was dream dust

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Leather working nigthscape boots drop Greaters often.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

These seem to DE into dream dust more than Nether essence. Definitely not 100%!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I found that Shadowweave shoulders DE into 1 Greater Nether Essence on a regular basis

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I've tested 5 items from this list, all in the 100% and ALL of THEM droped to me in disenchant "Dream Dust"... so definitly WRONG this page!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

According to thottbot (I know this is Allakhazam, but they've got DE info over there), Black MW Headband DEs into Greater Nether Essences 29.8% of the time and Large Radiant Shards 6.4% of the time. It's the best by almost a full % for the Essence and by 0.7% on the Shard for green tailored items. Plus it only requires 15 MW and 2 Heavy Silken Thread each, so it's pretty efficient.
