Only mob to drop . very few spawns, you'll most likely have to kill other ogres to make Geomancers spawn.

Kommentar von Cyan8313

Me and a friend (both enchanters) farmed for the formaula and got it in just a few kills. Going back there to get my own formula now...

The skirmishers here will spawn much more frequently than the geomancers, but if you can clear them out as fast as possible you shouldn't have a problem.

Bring some snacks and a large block of time if you are hunting for your Enchant Bracers - Spellpower recipie. I'd recommend AoE grinding these things. That's the only way to find this drop.

Kommentar von orlochavez

The spawn rate appears to be about 6 Skirmishers to 1 Geomancer, with wolves and Brewmasters thrown in on separate spawn tables. Two level 70's can clear the camp pretty fast. I recommend keeping at it til you get one, otherwise, you'll eventually wear it down to where you have maybe 1 or 2 geo's spawning at a time. At least by clearing the whole thing you get $$ and other world drops (greens, etc).

Kommentar von Flick

Definitely recommend clearcutting this place. The easiest place to do it is in the village directly across the way from the path up to Sylvanaar. Wipe out the village, zip across the ravine up the path, and depending on your kill rate the village will likely have respawned.

They (and the attendant Skirmishers) drop Netherweave in decent quantity without watering it down with Runecloth, so that's definitely a plus.

Kommentar von Loriel

One of the most annoying grinds I've done. I'm at the 3 hour mark now but that's not really the annoyance. I hate that I have to grind skirmishers in order to be able to kill the geomancers I need that MIGHT drop the enchant I'm after. /sigh

Kommentar von ariochiv

As of the 2.1 patch, when you gain Friendly status with Ogri'la, the Bloodmaul will no longer be hostile, but rather neutral. They are still attackable, and killing them does not appear to harm Ogri'la reputation.

The good news is that this makes this area that much safer to farm in. The bad news is that you'll feel like a heel for slaughtering entire villages of ogres who are now technically your allies, as they revile you for being "a horrible King."

Kommentar von 45977

This recipe dropped from my first mob :D

Kommentar von 53694

I was just clearing the whole camp as a shadow priest. Using +spirit gear and spirit tap i didn't even get oom once. Kill everything you see and it doesn't take long to farm at all.

IF you get low on health and the skirmisher is doing the enraged thing just run away because they are 50% speed at that time.

Only took me about 20 minutes to farm and dropped of my fourth kill of a geomancer.

Kommentar von 25333

After grinding these guys for about 5 hours last night, the best advice I have is to kill any Bloodmaul Ogre you can. Run in a large circle around the area that the Bloodmauls are at. It really helps to have run the King of the Ogres quest line so you don't aggro the dog's down there along with the other ogres, so you can easily focus fire.

Kommentar von Wander

I'm beginning to suspect, after ~2000 ogres, that this might not drop after doing the King of the Ogres quest.... Can anyone confirm that it does drop after doing this quest?

Kommentar von 92431

I'm into hour 17 straight clearing every mob, no drop yet. My eyes will bleed soon.

Edit: Dropped. Official time: 25 hours, 24 minutes. That's with pulling every mob I possibly could, 2 pulls on the east side, 3 pulls on the west, and AoEing them down in seconds. Good luck on this one.

Kommentar von 67144

Im thankful mine didnt take 17 hours to complete.
Up the path toward Sylvannar and around that western ledge I found more Geomancers. I only killed the skirmishers that would pat around, and the ones in the camp that were standing single (Not by the brewmasters) Had a pretty good spawn-rate of Geomancers.
1.5 hours @ lvl 69 - druid. Good xp, left me 1 bubble away from 70 :)

Kommentar von Jushak

2.3 farming report:

Farmed this first for roughly one hour, no drop.

Came back 2 hours later, was lucky enough to meet 3/5 geomancers, last of the 5 kills dropped the formula.

The biggest problem here is not the low drop rate: It's the low spawn rate of those cursed geomancers. If you're unlucky with spawns AND drops, this could take forever.

Kommentar von 107715

If you are feeling bad killing them due to the /say they have, like i did, here's a neat trick you can do ! :)
Go to Interface -> Advanced Options -> Chat -> Disable "Show Chat Bubbles"
You can even change your chat channel to something else that doesn't show /say aswell:D!

Voila!
Makes killing those poor ogres so much easier:)

Kommentar von Zillaji

It took 8 ogres for me for it to drop, lucky i guess :)

Kommentar von 50908

If you have done the opening Ogri'la faction quests then the Geomancers and Skirmishers will be neutral to you. HOWEVER, after you kill a certain amount of them they will temporarily turn aggressive to you.I thought this was a bug till I talked to a GM. She said it was normal for them to turn hostile then show up as neutral another day. Your Ogri'la faction will not be changed.

Kommentar von 5132

2 hours and nothing, i have a feeling this is gonna take much more

Kommentar von Tomken

....... 7 hours still nothing...
Seriously it's exciting ever f**kings kill..... But no recipe t_T'

Kommentar von 87758

Summary aroung 2.5k kills geomancers+skirmishers.... Still no drops.
I hate this mobs.

Kommentar von karmithius

Best way I've found to Farm for the plan is to enlist the help of a friend (Preferably someone who can kill fast) and have them slaughter Skirmishers while you fly a circle around the area picking off any Geomancers that spawn.

Last night we did this for 3 hours.
No Drop.

Kommentar von 136731

To those feeling bad about slaughtering ogres, just remember the phrase "Manifest Destiny". I say to the ogre, "This is your destiny, let me manifest it for you! <chop!>" and his purpose in life is fulfilled. Besides, I'm teh King, technically all my subjects belong to me as serfs. If they didn't, how could I send them out on a Crusade? :D

Kommentar von seven77

Am a lucky gnome... just finished mine in less than 30 minutes...
Good game to all the rest of you...

Kommentar von 9361

like maybe 45 geo kills later i memmorized the recipe
lousy spawnrate tho yeah

Kommentar von 125690

I have been killing everything for 3 hrs now.. no drop so far :p

terrible drop rate..

Kommentar von 164130

Ugg been farming this for several hours. I have about 53 kills on Geomancers and no drop. Anyone get this drop lately?

Kommentar von 164130

Update: I have killed over 230 or so Geos and no drop as of yet.

I did get an enchant of Enchant Shield - Resistance from a skirmisher. I guess it sells for pretty good on AH but I think I will add it to my enchant list.

Also have netted a couple of good blues that I sold for 50g or so each. So it isn't a complete loss but I have probably 8 hours (at least) in and no drop! Ugg.

Kommentar von 164130

Ok guys, finally got it! It took a total of about 300 Geomancers but I got it.

So while questing for this, I got 2 blues that each sold for 50ish gold, the Three of Furies card, the Shield - Resistance enchant which I hear sells in the 150 range, debating on that.

And the damn enchant I wanted. Now here is teh funny part. I also want the Major Spellpower - Weapon enchant. So I cruise up to the Spellthieves and figure I would do one clear and log there to start on that one tomorrow. I get it on the 5th kill. Amazing! So I am one happy enchanter.

Goodluck all!

Kommentar von 165798

Alright, mod this how you will.

I got extremely lucky and picked up the enchant in about 15 mins by just flying around and picking off the Geomancers. I had planned on making one or two passes a day, but it dropped before I started heading back north :D

Kommentar von SlayerX

It's official: terrible low drop rate

I keep farming the enchant pattern 1 or 2 hours daily for a complete week and nothing, this is my day 8th, I got ridicolous amount of Netherweave Cloth, if you are a tailor you will be happy, but enchanters like me just getting angry.

Blizzard give us another chance to get this pattern, add drop rate to the Skirmish as well :(

Kommentar von 110866

Kinda funny. I was farming for about 2 hours and no greens or anything was droping. I was about to give up so i decided i was gonna kill a few more then call it quits. I shot an arrow at the Geomancer and accidently aggroed a Wolf with it. so i started attacking them but before the fight was over i disconnected. When i got back online i saw my pet ravenger kill both of them. The Orc droped the enchant and the wolf droped a random BOE blue pair of leather legs. I dont know if it was worth 2 hours of farming but i was happy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Geomancers have no exclusive spawn points, but instead share them with the Skirmishers

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is the biggest pile of crap farming ordeal I have ever endured. At least with Major Spellpower the spawn points are constant. In this turd you have to kill Geomancers and Skirmishers hoping Geomancers will respawn. They do but at a ratio of 1/4. #$%^ like this makes me want to play DDO!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easy farm my ass. I spent an entire day farming for this enchant and it didn't drop. If it dropped after 10 min of farming u are the luckiest SOB on the planet. The only good thing i can say about it is that i ended up with about 400 Netherweave cloth after a day.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed a bunch, can't say how many but had 30 bolt of NW and made 30 Heavy NW bandage.

Still no drop. Got the weapon's one on my first kill, I guess I can't be lucky all the time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

At least 4.5 hours farming so far, over 60 geomancers killed, still no enchant...

For those who have it drop quickly, grats. I have had completely opposite results, however.

Kommentar von Thottbot

if you've done the ogrila prequests all of these ogres are neutral to you making the farm easier. thaaat said. this ^&*! isnt dropping

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killcount so far: 193 Geomancers and 278 Skirmishers.... hee!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just got the formula in 90 minuten of grinding and 25 kills :)

I advise killing the mobs on the left hand side and right hand side of the ravine, and keep going in circles... just kill all except the brewmasters and you'll be laughing :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

10hrs grinding, about 800 cloth collected and guess what no enchant :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

You know what I hate? When you are the only one around killing these skirmishers and then a geomancer pops up and horde fly down and kill it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I slayed about 8 geomancers, I initially kept count but then forgot to. I had got 7 so maybe another 5. Was sharing the area with a 70 gnome warlock (i'm a 70 BE Warlock) Dunno how many he killed, but I figured it was way more than me.

My advice is to stay in the outpost and lay waste to it.
Got a bunch of greens to DE and a bunch of red potions to quaff.
Bunch of talibut and netherweave.

I farmed for about an hour at the most. Geomancers generally don't drop stuff other than coin, weave or rarely a talibut. Last one before I slew the one that dropped the formula dropped a scroll of spirit so I knew the drop couldn't be far off.

Kommentar von Thottbot

They really need to respan more Geomancer in this area.....it totally sucks...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've been farming here now for 3 whole days.. Still no drop for me. Am I just that cursed and doomed or is the droprate way lower then 0.7% Im getting pissed abit, had to go to vendor 2 times now and i went inthere with only 1 bag full

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got bored of waiting for geomancers so I began killing skirmishers with the hope that more geo's would spawn in their place... Dont know if it helped but I got the pattern after about 10 geo's killed...there was an ally farming there too for the same pattern so nearly every mob left was a skirmisher.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got it in 4 kills, I was drunk (ingame) when it dropped. No idea if it helps or if I just got really lucky. I did the king of ogre quest so that helped too.

Kommentar von Thottbot

dropped after 3 kills 30 mins after hitting 360 enchanting. FLAME ME xD

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed all the skirmishers around the outpost, then killed their respawns. After doing that about 20 times, finally got 3 geo's to spawn. The Spellpower Enchant dropped on the third geo killed. Took about 1 1/2 hrs.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I official am over my tiresome farming. I have to have had the worst farming experience with this. I have tried to farm this enchant formula for over a year. Today May 17/2008 It finally dropped for me. I spent less then an hour farming. I think I have almost every enchant but sunfire/exe and cat's speed TBC

Kommentar von Thottbot

every day i go out to do maintaining the portal daily and i stop there along the way and kill the geos and then do the same on the way back.. so far i have yet to see taht pattern drop.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It seems like this formula doesnt exist....

Kommentar von Thottbot

Grinded for roughly an hour over 2 days, killed about 30-50, and it dropped after about the 12th today. So yeah, it does exist. Pst Aveal on The Scyers, if you want it done.

Kommentar von Thottbot

3 hours and 45 minutes- the chant dropped off the 115th one I killed. (Know that for every Geomancer you see, you have to kill about 10 Skirmishers.) I acquired 8 stacks of netherweave, and 6 greens for DEs.

I dunno if it was worth it, but maybe some guy will want this chant done on his twink one day. I know of much better ways I should spend 'my' 500g than in mats for a negligible 15 damage difference.

Well, it's a twink's world. Here's to having more money than you know what to do with. *cheers* Send Game Mail if you are on my server and want this chant done. I play often.

SHADOWSONG, ALLIANCE: Character Name- Omm

Kommentar von Thottbot

Wow, I got super lucky I guess. I ran up the path once, killed any skirmisher I saw (after reading the comments that skirmisher spots can spawn Geomancers). Ran back through, found about 4 Geomancers and this enchant dropped. Less than 10 minutes. It's rare I get cut breaks like this, so I will take it!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just looted it after the fourth day farming it. 195 netherweave cloth later and bam!

I tried something new on this Geomancer, I burned it down as fast as I could and there it was. Could it be that the mob only wants to drop it for a caster? Is it possible only casters can burn it down quick enough?

As a Warlock I shadow bolted and death coiled for a 2 second death, lemme know.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

well, up to hundreds of cloth, 3 greens, bunch of coin, and still no pattern. dam mages keep droppin in, killing geo's and then flying off. kill em all or get lost.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My Mage finnaly got this to drop off of a geomancer after about 350 Kills.. It is a very hard drop to get, and took a lot of time.. If you are farming it, keep going, it will drop, dont give up.. Make sure to kill everything to get geo's to spawn.

Mine droped in the town, to the left side as entering from the gate, off a Level 65 Bloodmaul Geomancer...

Good Luck to you all..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

expect to kill about 2,000 to 10,000 skirmishers before you'll see it drop

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There are geomancers right where the map says there are. They are not the most common spawn there. Just take down some of the brewmasters and skirmishers if you don't see any.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It is indeed a low drop rate. Was farming them for about 2 hours last night and between killing them (89 killed) and the other mobs that share a spawn point, was pretty sad. But got some decent coin from them and was able to farm some nice minerals while out there. Got a stack of Fel iron a half stack of adamantite and 2 gems (1 nightseye). So not unprofitable.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

theres no geomancers there, all i see is skirmishers and brewmasters wtf

Kommentar von Allakhazam

nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
*aggression*

even farming Fel Armaments / Arcane Tomes is more "fun" - at least you get to see some progress there... but this one totally §*$%&~ing sucks -.-

(farmed for 3 hours and had basically no competition there, but nothing, totally nothing, except for a gazillion of freaking skirmishers, grrrr...)

===
edit:

got it, finally, after killing a total of about 280 Ogres (~120Geos, 150Skirmishers and a couple of Brewmasters)
I somewhat changed my farming-strategie though: I just had my char parked there for the last few days, logging in every once in a while and killing all (and only) the Geomancers in the area. This might not be the fastest way to get that formula, but it's definitely the least irksome one ;)

happy farming everybody

Kommentar von Allakhazam

389 Skirmishers and 127 Geomancers later... it finally dropped

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Only took about 45 minutes to get it. Horde Dark Iron if you need it done.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

there is no GEomancers

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Getting this enchant is a waste of time. Here's why:

* Enchanting does not make money. It only loses money.

As a level 360 enchanter, I know this. You will not sell a single enchant. Crap like creating a void sphere will actually *lose* money, about 10g on my server. And of course, if you do advertise an enchant in trade chat, you will soon see some guy advertise the same enchant. In other words, everyone has your enchant formulas already. Unless you dropped down say, 1000g for Cat's Swiftness, then people don't need your skill.

The mats for enchant bracer spellpower are expensive, and it's easy enough to find someone with this enchant. And you only have to tip them, if that. You will not be selling enchants, so don't bother with the grind. And if you do bother with the grind, just know that about 200 people are doing this grind with you. And on a PvP the only nice thing about this grind is occasionally you will have the opposite faction grinding instead of your faction. Yep, you read that right. Because then you can kill the competition, or at least attempt it. That's how completely stupid this grind is.

The only thing that possibly makes enchanting a worthwhile profession are the very limited (and hard to get) ring enchants.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got it on the 5th kill, lucky me

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Farmed for about 6 hours, killed about 600 total mobs in the area. About 200 were probably geomancers and still on drop.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The easiest way to farm this is to clear the mobs at ground level in the outpost. Each time a mob respawns, it can be a geomancer, skirmisher, or brewmaster. After you do a few clears, you will notice that some spawns are always brewmasters, and you can skip those, but you will also notice that most spawn geomancers periodically.

After a clear, go kill any geomancers you find in the valley under the bridge, there are three that can spawn there. There are also a couple elsewhere, but I did not find that they spawned frequently enough to bother with. Mainly get the ones under the bridge which spawn pretty reliably and then clear the outpost over and over and over.

Kommentar von Wolfxudk

Mobs went yellow after completing elite q

Kommentar von DcolonRage

Drop rate is DEFINITELY NOT 7-12%

Kommentar von swedengamer

Took me about 50+ kills to get Formula: Enchant Bracer - Spellpower. Bear in mind that these Geomancers also share the same spawn with Wolves, skirmishers and brewmasters. I got lucky and had quite a few people that was killing the skirmishers for quests so I could just run around and kill the Geomancers as they popped. I did miss a few due to tag - but this would have taken much longer if i had to kill everything myself. Good luck farming guys!

Kommentar von Fortyz

At just over 120 kills of these, I have not gotten the enchant recipe. Drop rate is very very bad. To the guy who got it at 50, rejoice over your good luck

Kommentar von krissyk24

Day 76:
Im starting to lose hope. The guild says it shouldnt be much longer. Im starting to think i am becoming a skirmisher. I think this Bloodmaul Brewmaster just asked me to join his guild... time to get back at my work... will write again when these stop respawning.

Kommentar von gierry

Fvck blizzard with their Fvcking rng system! everybody leave.. just a matter of time blizzard will RIP!

Kommentar von gierry

the drop rate lie! why i get so many mana pot that have 1.5% drop rate and got the formula none?

Kommentar von GilblinStalker

if the formula is 3% drop rate then i am apollo creed from rocky.

Kommentar von virtua

can drop when your skill is below 360.

Kommentar von Furydeath

Don't worry youll get TONS of health pots before that enchant drops

Kommentar von Lockalhost

Put in my 1st ~1:30:00 hours farming sess this morning on these bad boys, no luck yet. I took over the entire East area compound and AoE grinded it on Mage, together with the outside area Skirmisher/Geomance spawn points, and took down any alliance which would contest. Farmed 200 Netherweave during this time. Will update after next sess.

2nd session (approx. 1:00:00 hours). WE GOT IT! After 150 Netherweave. So ~2:30:00 hours total farm time, with 350 Netherweave and around 50-75 Geomancers kills (personal estimate).

Each spawn seems to be shared by 4 unit types: Skirmisher (50%), Wolf (30%), Geomancer (15%), Brewmaster (5%), if I were to take a "feel guess" at the distribution. Just kill everything you see and hope for Geomancer respawns, for best results. All in all, Geomancers are very hard to find and they will NOT drop the recipe easily, so the faster you set the correct expectation, the better your mental well-being while grinding this.

Kommentar von mordicai052

This is another camp that has been made so much better by the anniversary mega server's terrible layering system

Kommentar von Longdukdonng

There are no Geomancers there been here for few days and none

Kommentar von biglollol

If you are farming these for the Enchanting Formula. Start killing Bloodmaul Skirmishers, Bloodmaul Dire Wolfs and Bloodmaul Brewmasters too.

They all share spawn. Meaning the spot they spawn on has a random chance to spawn as any of these. If you want geomancers, force them to spawn by killing the other mobs.

I see plenty of ignorant leeches just flying circles over the are non-stop, not killing ^&*! and leeching off of other people (like me) to wait for Geomancer spawns.

Have some decency. No one likes a leech.

Kommentar von chiguswigus

Finally dropped after 12+ hours total farming. The amount of people just flying overhead while I was clearing the other mobs to force spawns was so funny. Lazy mfs.
