Living essence is used in several different recepies and/or patterns. They ca easaly be farmed from, for example, tar lords and their brethren just south of Marchall's refuge in un'guro.

I don't know how readable this will be but here's a little diagram of the transmute circle that is possible with elemental essences. The main circle is Earth to Water to Air to Fire and back to Earth. The two branches are Life to Earth to Life and Water to Undeath to Water.

Get these sometimes off Rotting Forest-Ragers and Infested Root-Walker in Terrokar, not very good drop rate though. While farming for Primal Life, after getting 4 Primals, I only had 3 Living Essences.

I'm currently leveling a ravager on the Fungal Giants and Bog Lords in Zangermarsh. He's getting around 0.3 or 0.4% a kill, and as I type, he's 82.5% through the level. That's at least 200 mobs, and I've just had my first one of these drop.

This item was mentioned in a Penny Arcade comic:

http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2008/20080123.jpg

Seems they got the droprate right too.

i just wonder; is the rates as good in Dire Maul as it seems? If so it may be a nice place to get these if you can solo it.

评论来自 AzureShadow42

If these things are still worth it, it seems like once you get a few levels above 60, you can solo farm Dire Maul for craptons of them.

I've found that a handy way to farm these essences in Dire Maul as a mage (80) is to run in, slow fall down into the first courtyard, then start to pull the Warpwood treants from all around the area. Once you have a sizable group you can Frost Nova and Blizzard them all down. Of course, you can also just fight your way in and pick up some Felcloth as well. :P

Found ungoro crater an easy but slow farm on these, had 2 in the first 20 min(1 on the first kill) but then went to farm the thorium in the apes cave then came back and not a 1 the next time around. stated drop rate for these here are 2% so guess i was lucky and just needed 2 for the plate gloves i wanted to make for myself.

Something I've always wondered about:

While all the other essences have "smaller siblings":
Elemental Earth - Core of Earth - Essence of Earth
Elemental Water - Globe of Water - Essence of Water
Elemental Fire - Heart of Fire - Essence of Fire
Elemental Air - Breath of Wind - Essence of Air

Living Essence doesn't.

: I think you guys are right about Heart of the Wild and Ichor of Undeath:
n/a - Heart of the Wild - Living Essence
n/a - Ichor of Undeath - Essence of Undeath
There are no "smallest siblings" for these. If you look at the item levels of the other items, you see that the smallest is always 25, the middle one is 45 and the biggest is 55. Now, if you look here, you will find the two mentioned "middle siblings" in the list, but none for item level 25.

Dire Maul East seems like the best place to farm them. I cleared out the entire upper platform of the first large room (where the quest imp is) and got 4 essences. Just kill everything including the small lashers. Walk out, reset and go again.

评论来自 Thottbot

I just farmed 12 of these from the tar-people. They still drop. I think the ca. 2% droprate is about right.

评论来自 Thottbot

You have to realize, if everyone farmed for gold instead of farming the living essences, there would be none on the AH anyway. So some people have to farm them, that's just life.

评论来自 Thottbot

I killed 240 tar guys yesterday for just one essence. I know it's random and some people get luckier than others but sometimes random sucks. Dropped lots of health pots, and I gained 110,000XP in kills but somehow it felt like a waste.

评论来自 Thottbot

been killing tar guys prolly over 150-200 mobs, not a single drop....

anyone find a successful drop rate elseware?

评论来自 Thottbot

I usually farm these in Felwood when I'm sitting by the tuber spawn here. It helps pass the time and keeps you close by the spawn. I've gotten three tonight, I don't JUST farm for essences, but while I'm here..

EDIT: Oh, I forgot! Make sure you kill the Withered Protector (55/56) whenever he walks by. It has a higher drop rate off of him. Not a 10% or anything, but better than the normal elementals

评论来自 Thottbot

yeah, i farmed in felwood on those trees for hours not even getting 1 and then i went to Un guru and killed those tar elemetnals for about 20 mins and i got 4-5 essence...drops are much better there

评论来自 Thottbot

Tar Lords and Lurkers are definitely the best. I have never seen one of these drop in DM, but i farmed for 15 minutes (I was timing) and got 2.

评论来自 Thottbot

I've just finished a farming session on theses guys. Killed just under 350 and got 6 Living Essences, confirming that the drop rate is still around 2% (15/04/06).

At one point I looted 3 within 15 minutes and thought "oh that won't be so hard", but that was followed by 90 mins of no drop.

Looted:
20 Hearts of the Wild in the process.
1 purple item (Lei of Lilies)
2 green weapons (lvl 49-51)
3 major healing pots
And a variety of crappy stuff.

评论来自 Thottbot

i have been farming in the caverns in felwood for 3 hours... then i got two living essences in a row. what a silly game... why do we play it? i think i will just farm some money and hope that that chinese guy keeps filling the AH with living essences. and i still haven't got the larval acid... arghhhh

评论来自 Thottbot

I farmed for 4 hours, and only got 1 essence... The next night i again farmed for 3 hours, and also got 1...

I just quit farming, went to go BRD a couple of times, and even some DM runs. After 4 nights I had enough money to buy the stuff I needed for HotW.

And big thanks to the chinees guy who put them there! ^^

评论来自 Thottbot

i was in felwood doing the toxic horror droplets waiting for one to spawn just killd a tree for fun and wham! a living essence these things only go for 8-10g on my server (Dalaran)

评论来自 Thottbot

Real good drop rates in Felwood killing the Warpwood's. They are pretty close to the FP in Felwood. In 30 min I got over 1g in cash, 2 Living Essence, and 4 Heart of the wild. Along with other stuff like Major Health Potion, and some random herbs.

评论来自 Thottbot

Killed a few of those petal-guys in DM east. They are all at the beginning and easy to farm with a group of three. Nearly every group dropped one of them and I regret to have farmed them for hours for my hide of the wild.

评论来自 Thottbot

Yeah, I went to Un'goro to grind the Tar Lords to start on my HotW and needless to say, just about every damn farmer was out there. I kid you not, there was not one Tar <xxxx> alive in all of Un'goro.

评论来自 Thottbot

This is just my opinion but like someone said earlier, there are easier ways of making money than by killing endless mobs. What I do is wait until I need exp to level (L60s can stop reading at this point) and then start farming. Even if no essences drop it still won't be a wasted trip because I'll have got the exp I need.

Don't farm for no reason, it doesn't work often enough :p

评论来自 Thottbot

Gaea's Embrace uses them, best pre-epic NR cloak, I am totally farming these when I get a chance.

评论来自 Thottbot

I farm 3 hours and find only one >.<

评论来自 Thottbot

Level 51 gnome fire mage... grinding tar elems in UnGoro... 3 living essences in a half hour.

And the mobs (50-54) die so quick due to fire vulnerability.

Were they trying to sell me on this place to grind and farm? Because they just did.

评论来自 Thottbot

I still think the best place to farm in in felwood. The iron tree elementals constantly drop them every time i go through.

评论来自 Thottbot

Well then. If you're a fire mage and not farming here, you need your head examined.

Pull with pyro, fireball, fire blast, the usual. As a gnome, the escape artist racial trait keeps you from getting slowed or rooted.

I just grinded from 51 to 56 on the tar elementals. (Lurkers and Lords). I farmed about 40 Living Essences, and with selling those, and vendor trash, garnered about 300g+. I went from all green items, to all but 2 blue items. At level 55, I periodically oneshotted them as well. (~2k Pyro crit + 1k DOT) Very fast, and not nearly as crowded as, say, WPL.

I can't speak for Felwood being worse or better, but Un'Goro tars are definitely the way to go for fire mages. I will be farming these for gold when I hit 60 for sure. Thanks to tracart in another thread (can't remember which...) for suggesting this.

评论来自 Thottbot

only cost 50silver each now =(

评论来自 Thottbot

Doing an escort quest in Felwood, I had to kill some of those Ironwood tree guys. I killed maybe 10 of them and got 2 essences. Didn't even know what they did, so I came here to see if they were worth a fuzz. Glad to see they are :D

评论来自 Thottbot

I looted three Living Essence in about 15 minutes running around the Lakari Tar Pits in Un'Goro (and that was off less than 20 kills). The drop rate was actually better than what I was looking for, which was Heart of the Wild. I'm a level 55 Druid and ran through in cat form and all the kills were fairly quick.

评论来自 Thottbot

just got some from the boglords in zangar

评论来自 Thottbot

12 essence's in 1 hour in zangar at the dead mire..

评论来自 Thottbot

Well, needless to say thottbot hasn't entirely updated their drop %s in lieu of the new expansion. SO...if ur 62 or there abouts this item drops at a fairly decent rate off the giants in the south western most area of Zangarmarsh. Since i wasn't looking for them when i got them i can't give u an exact idea, but I killed about 8 bog lord's for their tendrils and got two living essences. Hope that helps!

评论来自 Thottbot

what are these worth

评论来自 Thottbot

Since BC these things seem to be near vendor trash, 50s is the most I can get :(

评论来自 Thottbot

worthless now

评论来自 Thottbot

these are going for about 2g each on dethecus. but keep thinking they are worthless. that leaves more for me and all my alts that will need them in my many proffessions. :)

These are still valuble for AoE farming Paladins, they are used in the Life Stealing enchant.

I farm mine in Felwood, in the Irontree cavern. Usually get at least 1 essence/hour but then again I'm a slow grinder (holy/disc priest).

评论来自 Allakhazam

First time i went into Irontree Cavern i got 2 in less than 10 mins. The second time i went i got 3 in 3 hours. I was there yesterday, spent 5 hours and only got 2 essences. They sell pretty good at the AH but i'm starting to think it's not worth the time.

Ive been heading to Un'goro to farm for the past four or five days. I may have spent six hours total and got over 15 of them dropped.

i went there the other day with a lvl 60 (im lvl 33) and i got a living essence in about 2 mins i love being lucky :) (this was in felwood)

评论来自 Allakhazam

I love dire maul, doesnt matter which side. Its one of my favorites. You can easily fund a small army with the drops. Of course, this depends on if you are stuck on a welfar server like Korialstrasz..lol

评论来自 Allakhazam

killed about 600 of those tar thingies (poor suckers) - did not get a single drop.
must have been a hard time for them, maybe they didn't enjoy their lives too much hence producing no single living essence :(

trying to do felwood, can only get better.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Confirmed as of this posting date.

8 hours = 4 essences? Hm.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Those who know Dire Maul, LOVE Dire Maul. There are some of the most rare and useful drops in the game in there (pre MC) But, since it is a 5 man instance, it scares the hell out of most Ironforge PUGs. some guildies and I have spent afternoons just clearing it from front to back. Living Essences drop like candy in the Tree/Weed sections. you just have to take the time and clear the rooms.

#1 skill in the game: networking, networking, networking. the more hustling you do to get to know some good peeps, the easier the game is.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just farm DM west. Easy doable with epic mage-pally combo, mage/druid or mage/shaman.
On average like 3-4 per hour drop :D

评论来自 Allakhazam

I was just at DM East and 5 dropped. They are so easy to find.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Went to Un'goro and got 2 within 10 minutes...

now I just need 7 more

评论来自 Allakhazam

i need for Hide of The Wild and Living Shoulders

评论来自 Allakhazam

DM West is the best place to get these if you can get a group. Even a smaller group can farm the mobs that drop these.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I have to farm primal life constantly since I'm replacing my gear a lot in Kara and most of the +healing require a ton of primal life. I've gotten 45 in one day (about 4-5 hours of farming). I can't give them away. Completely stupid of Blizz to add these to the loot table of mobs in OUTLANDS! I would rather have 1 primal (or even just a few more motes) than 1000 of these things.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I guess you just need to grind Dire Maul for this....only problem is finding a group, even when you're lvl 60

what is it with ppl not wanting to go into Dire Maul?
