They ca easaly be farmed from, for example, tar lords and their brethren just south of Marchall's refuge in un'guro. Comment by 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.

Comment by Thottbot I just farmed 12 of these from the tar-people. They still drop. I think the ca. Comment by 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.

Comment by Thottbot I killed 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 ,XP in kills but somehow it felt like a waste.

Comment by Thottbot been killing tar guys prolly over mobs, not a single drop Comment by 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. It has a higher drop rate off of him. Comment by 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 essence Comment by 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. Comment by Thottbot I've just finished a farming session on theses guys.

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. Comment by Thottbot i have been farming in the caverns in felwood for 3 hours Comment by Thottbot I farmed for 4 hours, and only got 1 essence The next night i again farmed for 3 hours, and also got 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! Comment by Thottbot i was in felwood doing the toxic horror droplets waiting for one to spawn just killd a tree for fun and wham! Comment by 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.

Comment by 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. Comment by 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.

Comment by 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. Comment by Thottbot Level 51 gnome fire mage And the mobs die so quick due to fire vulnerability.

Were they trying to sell me on this place to grind and farm? Because they just did. Comment by Thottbot I still think the best place to farm in in felwood. The iron tree elementals constantly drop them every time i go through. Comment by 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 went from all green items, to all but 2 blue items. At level 55, I periodically oneshotted them as well. I can't speak for Felwood being worse or better, but Un'Goro tars are definitely the way to go for fire mages.

The guide is available for both Horde and Alliance. Living Essence farming I made this Living Essence farming guide to help out players who want to farm the essences instead of buying them from the Auction House. Follow these tips below because you will double or triple your farming speed: Use a ranged class for farming, or at least a melee class that has a ranged ability with no cooldown and long range.

It's better to farm here with a level 40 ranged alt character than with your max level main without a good ranged ability. Don't loot the mobs one by one, this is probably the most important thing!

The mobs will only start to despawn after two minutes, so you can do at least laps around the large mushroom just killing mobs and you should only loot on your 4th lap. Winterspring If for some reason you can't farm at Blasted Lands, you can go to Winterspring and farm Frostleaf Treants. Zygor's Leveling Guide I recommend trying Zygor's Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt.

I use Zygor's guide for leveling, and I highly recommend it.
