Another very good place to find theses are the two lakes in the eastern plaguelands. Each is populated by 4 or 5 water elementals that seems to have a 3-5% chance to drop one of these. Just run from one lake to the other and you should never run out of respawns to kill.

Or if you are in a hurry you can get an alchemist to transmute Essence of Undeath or Earth to Water, since earth and undeath are easier to find and are sold cheap at the Auction House.

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.

The absolute easiest, and fastest, place to grind these is from Toxic Horrors in Felwood.

https://www.wowhead.com/classic/npc=7132

They have among the best drop rate, they're plentiful (not many people grind them now) and they very easy to kill for a 60+.

Commento di Thottbot

They still drop from toxic horrors in felwood! Just looted one

Commento di Thottbot

So the 9 something percent drop rate for these off of Toxic Horrors is being screwed up by the high probablity of these mobs dropping nothing when killed. I killed about 30 last night and got loot only 3 times. So... if that extends out at all, loot of 10%, Essence of 10%... that's only a 1% drop rate for these things... certainly different than the 9% or so listed.

Commento di Thottbot

As at patch 1.7, I believe an undocumented change was the removal of the drop from mobs in the Eastern Plaguelands. Please post if you do get a drop from these mobs.

As others have pointed out, this only leaves Felwood. Which is camped to buggery by farmers with Hunters. Prices start at 5g for one essence on the AH (Earthen Ring realm).

I'd be looking to get an Alchemist to transmute Essence of Undeath to these. It's probably easier now.

Commento di Thottbot

They do still drop off mobs in Eastern Plaguelands. I came across them yesterday night while coming from Darrowshire on my way to Light's Hope Chapel, just south of Corin's Crossing. Was trying to make some Stormshroud gear, and decided to try my luck. Went one round of the pond, killing maybe 15-20 mobs, got my first drop. That motivated me to do another, so I did, and got another drop. One round took maybe 15 minutes, and I did 5, with the total result of 4 Essences of Water, 3 Globes of Water and a few random greens.

Haven't tried Felwood purely because it's just a dozen times slower what with all the farming and farm-related ganking.

Commento di Thottbot

Reguarding farming elementals: roll a warlock.
- Voidwalker on 1 - then use CoA and Corr (do this twice)
- Doom one, then use rank 2 then rank 1 banish, make sure to tag it first using a wand or dagger.
- Fear Dot kite one.

thats 3 possibly 4 per minute.

Commento di Thottbot

The "Recipe: Water to Air" is sold of a "invisable" vendor outside Scholo... You need to do a questline of 3 quest inside Scholo to get a trinket that makes you see him

He also sells "Recipe: Major Mana Potion"

Commento di Thottbot

If you have a high fishing level, you can fish these in Azshara! In the coast, some whirlpools like the sagefish/tastyfish pools form up,called Patch of Elemental Water. As you can guess, these could yield elemental water, but also globe of water and essence of water!However, these things only appear like 3 at a time all along the coast, so finding them becomes quite tedious, but it sure beats killing mobs all day...

Commento di Thottbot

There are three verified spots to fish essence of water (thotbot has map) BUT the catch is, they aren't there all the time. So you spend half an hour finding one spot, get four casts in (2 globes of water, 2 essence of water), and then the pool is gone.

AND DOESN'T REAPPEAR ANYWHERE!

so the pools appear only, oh, once a day, and when you fish from that spot, they're gone for that day. a long haul to save a few gold.

Commento di Thottbot

also a pool at 79,53

update: ... i've caught 7 essences tonight ... 3 of them were in a row (at spot 3) ... sometimes you get lucky may 15

Commento di Thottbot

vell, dont not muck time, but as 55rogue i killed 80of em and got 7essence =)

Commento di Thottbot

grinded 1hour in felwood now... didnt drop ANY essence.... then i walked to EPL and saw some water elementals, which gave me 2 essences out of the first 5 mobs i killed... woohaa

Commento di Thottbot

In patch 1.9, Blizz added special fishing pools, or as I sometimes call them, swirls, that contain specific items. They vary some, depending on the zone. There is a very good thread on the WoW forums that details some of the things available and the locations, thanks to Pleather on the Stormreaver server for collecting the information. These pools include the new Sagefish and Greater Sagefish, as well as Firefin Snapper, Oily Blackmouth, Deviate Fish, and floating debris piles where you can get (unlocked) trunks that contain crafting materials and equipment.

Also, in one zone, Azshara, there are swirls called 'Patch of Elemental Water', where you can fish up elemental water items: Globe of Water, Elemental Water, and Essence of Water. Located mostly in the Bay of Storms there, these are arguably the highest level, and most profitable, fishing spots in the game. I've spent some time collecting data on the locations of these pools, and this page is dedicated to detailing this information.

First, in order to fish in the Bay of Storms, you need a ridiculous level of fishing skill. A total of 420 is needed to guarantee landing what you catch, though you can make the attempt to fish with as low as 350 (I believe), though you will rarely land a fish with that skill level. Use lures and equipment to raise your skill if needed. The best fishing items can be gotten at the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza contest, so you may want to try that...with the items there, you can get your skill to 350, there is a +2 enchant for gloves, and lures give up to 100 bonus as well. In my observation, if you can get your skill to 420 with some combination of the above, you won't miss many fish at all. I regularly fish at 415, and only miss a very few.

The pools that contain the elemental items (called a 'Patch of Elemental Water') are spread through the zone in the coastal area known as the Bay of Storms. The area is patrolled by mid-50 level elite giants (as well as a few other mobs), but they're mostly easily avoided if you aren't too low a level. These pools are in set locations around the bay, and it appears that only one (at most) pool is active at a time. There are possibly 7 locations we've discovered, and the locations are shown on the map I've made (full size map)
http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ethalen/wow/swirl_small.jpg

Notes:

Location 1 is slightly outside the 'Bay of Storms' itself, and requires a lower fishing level
Location 2 is at Hetaera's Clutch
Location 3 is at Scalebeard's cave
Locations 4-6 will probably be renumbered when/if the 'unverified' spot is verified (by me anyway)
I'll include more information as it comes up, and feel free to contact me if you want to contribute to the cause...I can be reached in-game (Thalenia on Uther), or drop me a note at thalen (at) earthlink.net.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a couple pictures of what the swirls in Azshara look like...one from above, one from below (the latter is from about as far away as the swirl would show up, just to give you an idea at what range you could see them...subject to your graphics settings of course)

Also, in that same area is something called a 'swirling maelstrom' - part of a quest line somewhere, here are a couple links to what that looks like.

Commento di Thottbot

The droprate in Winterspring is way higher than in felwood, I'd grind there.

Commento di Thottbot

major pain to farm. grinded on water eles in epl for 2 hours and didn't get a single drop. after 4 days of continuous farming, i only have 9.

Commento di Thottbot

i only tried Felwood..got 8 Essences in 6-7 hours :)

Commento di Thottbot

you can get 200g a month or even more depending on the server you are, thats why the recipe is soo expensive. :P

Commento di Thottbot

You are probably farming the wrong elementals. Go North to Irontree Woods.

Happy Hunting

Commento di Thottbot

....Felwood. Grinded for an hour from 10:15pm till 11:15pm on the Boulderfist server. 6 essences 10 Core of Elements 1 Globe of Water 1 Elemental Water 2 greens and many Enchanted Waters (wich I immediately tossed) from the Toxic Horrors. Strangely they mostly dropped during the first 30 minutes of grinding. Will have to try this out again some other day to see if the higher drop rate is because of the time.

Commento di Thottbot

few toxic horrors spawn and you have to run, jump and swim alot to get to them
I'll try the others spots now
winterspring didn't have a single water elemental -.-
eastern plaguelangs has a good spot at the lake in the west, but that spots supports only 1 person either, then theres two small lakes to the east. with only 4 and 5 spawns

Commento di Thottbot

farmed for 3 hours in epl and not 1 drop in both lakes! what has blizzard done to the droprates for these? this is crazy!

Commento di Thottbot

I got 10 essences in 2.5 hours from the Toxic Horrors in Felwood...was expecting a worse drop rate, actually. Now on to the other essences to make my Robe of the Archmage :)

Commento di Thottbot

If you want Essence of Water go to Felwood, the lake in the northeast section of the map. The elementals there drop them like crazy, got 4 in 1 1/2 hrs. Looking to buy Water to Air Transmutes on the Shadowmoon Server, horde side. Have a BE Pally, Acrimony. Drop me a line if you can help :)

Commento di Thottbot

They loot well in eastern plaguelands was there one hour got 12 essences of water and 3 globes of water and 60 enchanted water.
its in the lake where the mobs are

Commento di Allakhazam

The drop for essence of water is more like 2% than 6%. I killed 67 and got 1 (and got lots of globe of waters too)

Commento di Allakhazam

Can any fisherman fish in "Patch of Elemental Water" or do you have to have 200+ in fishing?

Commento di Allakhazam

Has anyone seen the Patches of Elemental Water since patch 1.11? It would seem that blizzard has once again reverted Fishing to being useless. :(

Commento di Allakhazam

First of whartanto Im not flaming you, just some constructive critism.

Plz look at how many toxic horrors it took to compile the 6.84% drop rate - 196,528!

You killed 67... great foundation to base your personal 2% drop rate on.

What your doing is like a man you gets a 4 of a kind in poker at Vegas after 4 hands and decides the chance for a royal flush is 25%

From personal exp these drop MUCH MUCH MUCH better than airs drop in Silithus which is a posted 2% drop - so the drop rate listed here sounds reasonable and accurate.

Commento di Allakhazam

1.9: just fished this out of "Patch of Elemental Water" near duke hydraxis in Azshara :o

Commento di Allakhazam

got 6 essences of 5 patches in 45 min :D

Killed a ton of Elementals in EPL... Watched by using my Arcane Intellect as a timer:
Half-Hour 1&2: nothing
Half-Hour 3: 3 Essenses.
H-H 4: nothing right up till the last 5 minutes, found last one I needed xD

Commento di Allakhazam

i got 12 of them in 3 hrs :P dont know if thats good or bad

Commento di Allakhazam

Fished a couple of pools in Azshara yesterday called "Patch of Elemental Water". Got a total of 4 Essences out of the deal. After I fished out the first one (maybe 5 casts?) I went swimming around the zone for about 10 minutes, looking for more, and found one, and fished that one out, too. 4 Essence in about 15 minutes total, on top of the usual Stonescale/Winter Squid/Lobsters/Mightfish.

I'd be interested to know if the pools only spawn at night, or if there's a limited #/day. Makes me want a cottage in Azshara.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just got 4 essences out of 2 patches of water, 1 from 1 and 3 from another all in l5 minutes, great money. I'm just gonna log out and log bak in once they have respawned and do it all again and hopefully by then the 3rd one i go to has respawned aswell at this rate i could get like 5+ an hour which isnt too bad - i think. Apart from azshara does anyone know another good place that has a few elemental patches?

Edited, Apr 26th 2007 7:36am by Zecandyman

Commento di Allakhazam

5.89% chance to drop. (18085 in 307046)

seems quite "true" ?

after all, there is luck and bad luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

any tips on how to find these patches or at least how they look like? I've been swimming around bay of storms for a while and haven't seen anything that looks like it

Commento di Allakhazam

Spawn loc for the patch of elemental water is around:
66.68
54.39
75.71
79.54
59.40
55.50
I think they seem to spawn only once per hour for each loc.
I dont know if there is more of them.
As a shaman i can say that it's very very easy money...

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention that you have to fish from one of them then another will spawn or something like that.
I'm not 100% shure about the spawn time.

Edited, Tue Feb 7 13:45:44 2006

Commento di Allakhazam

For the first hour I didn't get any of these at all. Then got 2 in 10 mins. Needed to go afk, couple of hours later got another 3 in 30-40 mins. So I'm pretty happy about the drop rate I got =)
I was killing them considerably fast non-stop though w/my rogue, so got quite a bit of 'em down :P

Edit: oh, and that was at south lake in EPL, if anyone cares. would've gone to Felwood, but there is too much competition there.

Edited, Sun Nov 13 20:37:44 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

I have been camping azshara for these just to see what the deal is for a few days now. Finally found one. I wasn't sure if they would be easy to spot, thought I might have missed them, but once you see one you can't miss it. They are blue and glowing, really obvious. 342 was not enough to catch anything in a pool, so I had to use a +75 lure to get up to 417 to be able to fish it.

Coords:
79.54-southern corner of the ruins that stuck up out of water. This is the first island on the map, just south of Temple of Arkkoran. Got 2 Elemental Water before the pool dried up. Got this one again the next day for 3 Globes of water and 1 Essence of Water.

They have lowered the drop rate for these, most likely to the same rate of the airs to prevent people from using the water-air transmute as a way around spending days upon days in Silithus.

Commento di Allakhazam

drop rate is pretty good, good 3 in like 30 mins.

Commento di Allakhazam

the drop rate at the southern lake in EPL is at this point I believe to be one drop per year, or so it feels. I killed for about an hour yesterday and got one, been at it for about an hour today and none.

If you need more than one of these things, I recommend giving up, and get a 300 herbalist. Spend your time gathering herbs. I can sell enough herbs to buy 10 essences off AH probably in the time it takes to farm 3 or 4 essences.

Commento di Allakhazam

dunno how many mobs i killed but in less then 25mins i had 3 of these essences. but that was in the middle of the night so i was alone there so it was a non stop killing spree, no waiting for respawns.

Commento di Allakhazam

I went to Epl with three men party. killed over 100 of them and didnt get one .. not even one..
talk about bad luck?

Commento di Allakhazam

Farming for these things is the biggest fall back of elemental leatherworking... -_-

Commento di Allakhazam

I cant find em either, i checked by scalebeards cave and by the hydraxian waterlord. all around 10 pm sever time. perhaps these come out later?

Farmed at Felwood from Toxic Horrors during the quiet hours (around 3am)

I used 5x Bobbing Apples as a measure of time (15min x 5pieces = 75minutes)

Essence of Water dropped: 7 (4%)

Toxic Horrors Killed: 104

Commento di j0llyr0ger

Fishing these from pools in Azshara - you get 2-4 casts per pool:

~50% of the time I get zero essences per pool
~35% of the time I get one essence per pool
~10% of the time I get two essences per pool
~4.99% of the time I get three essences per pool
~0.01% of the time I get four essences per pool (this literally just happened to me - I've fished hundreds of essences and it's the first time it's happened!)

Commento di smellypickle

ok so everyone is saying to go to feralas and sure if you want to take forever I go to epl at lake mereldar 63:84 and I made 4 rounds of the lake killing all the surgers there...I wound up with 19 essences in about 38 minutes...so keep going to feralas and leave my money pit alone!

As stated by many, this can be fished in Patch of Elemental Water.

Fishing of 420 is required to not miss a cast. This can achieved as easily as an Aquadynamic Fish Attractor + Big Iron Fishing Pole. The rod is acquired by opening "Lobster Cages" in the water along the coast of Shadowprey Village in Desolace. You could also check your server's auction house.

Enjoy!
