I have been farming eternals for gold for the past couple days, and I thought that I could write a little guide to farming eternals while I’m at it.
With Wrath of the Lich King, farming eternals has become much, much easier than farming primals ever was. Blizzard probably did this to get more people to participate in Wintergrasp, but I still don’t participate due to my complete lack of interest in PvP; I do reap the benefits, though.
Because of the new phasing technology, Blizzard was able to do something pretty cool. They made it so that whatever faction is controlling Wintergrasp at the moment, unlocks mobs that have 100% droprates to drop 1-3 crystallized elements, the type depending on what type of mob it is. The mobs are called revenants. There are other elementals that drop crystallized elements at about the same droprate as elemental plateue mobs, but the revenants are 100%. The sort of odd thing, though: There is no Life Revenant. You can farm the regular life mobs, but there is no mob that drops life 100%.
So, here’s a little list of revenants with links to Wowhead so that you can find them.
- Tempest Revenant (Air)
- Earthbound Revenant (Earth)
- Flame Revenant (Fire)
- Shadow Revenant (Shadow)
- Water Revenant (Water)
Then, the mobs that drop crystallized life are Living Lashers.
I have been farming the Water Revenants because the fire ones are way overcamped, their aren’t very many shadow ones and they have a terrible respawn timer, earth is worthless, and there aren’t terribly many air elementals, either. So, there are a ton of water elementals and water is actually worth a bit of gold. I think they’re awesome to farm. They’re a little bit difficult to kill, but I’m a healer, so a dps shouldn’t have any problem.
Please don’t do this on Hellscream-US, or I’ll bite you. I want my eternals.
