Good place to get these if you are low level is to go to Tanaris and farm the Dust Stormers there. I got about 6 in around 2 hours. I dont' have the map of the spawns of the guys, but go to wow.allakhazam.com and go to the player map whose name starts with the letter D. His map is right on for the spawns of these guys

Basic info that is needed.

Spawn times is around 8 - 10 minutes for them to respawn. When they spawn its random between Land Ragers and Gusting Vortex's.

Gusting Vortex's drop rate is around 20% - 30%. Then 70% - 75% of the drop will be Breath of wind. Then 15% elemental Air and maybe 10% for something else (*or less*).

Dont trust on the Living Storms to be there for you, if you come across one, Excellent, if not, No big woof. I have yet to get a Breath of wind from a Living Storm.

I spent 4 hours finding, tracking, killing, and cursing at the Gusting Vortex Elementals in Tanaris. Here's the Data I gathered from it.

Time: ~ 3-4 hours (lost track of time)

Kills:

28 Gusting Vortex Elementals
36 Land Rager Elementals

Loot:

7 Breath of Wind
2 Core of Earth

Location:

Broken Pillar, Eastmoon Ruins, and The Gaping Chasm in Tanaris

Analysis:

- Drop rate for my push was 25%. More data would be needed to confirm this as an absolute drop rate. First 17 kills dropped 1 Breath. Next 11 kills dropped 6 Breaths.

- Spawn is shared by Gusting Vortex and Land Rager. Kill both types of elementals. Land Rager does occasionally drop Core of Earth.

- Do not bother killing anything else. Scorps, etc. are NOT placeholders for the elementals.

- The elementals roam in a wide area, but their paths are predictable and they respawn in certain areas.

I got 6 of these in 2hrs killing Dust Stormers in the top left hand corner of Silithus around the big mountain there. The drop rate is low if they drop anything at all; I wanted Essence of Air but seems it's less trouble to buy it at AH.

Commento di Allakhazam

i killed 12 today, all dropped winds its 50% ur just unluckey suckas

Commento di Allakhazam

Dropped by the 3 mob I killed in Silithus (north-west). I got lucky I gues.. :P

Commento di Allakhazam

I searched for around an hour and a half the other day and didn't even see a gusting elemental. I looked where they have been before but it looks like they were replaced with Ground Pounders. I might be looking in the wrong place, if so can anyone help me out on where the general area is to find these guys?

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed 5, got 2

Commento di Allakhazam

The rate on the vortex things in Tanaris is right. I killed three of them, got 2 Breath of Wind.

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed like 40 of them today in Silt and only dropped 2 :(

Commento di Allakhazam

This is our random number genererator:
9, 9, 9, 9...

You sure that's random?

Yeah, that's the problem you never really know.

Commento di Allakhazam

For something that is required by 3 diff trade skills there are not enough spawns and those that do spawn have a crapy drop rate. These things are up to 15g on Burning Legion. Rediculous! But boy IF you need cloth you can get it from anywhere just close your eyes and click... grrr.

Commento di Allakhazam

i to would like to say that finding these elements is beyond a joke. Im yet to come accross one in Tanaris. I have soloed it many a times looking an i even brought a lvl 50 hunter with me from my guild could anyone let me know how to find these bloody things please!

Commento di Allakhazam

How much do these sell at the AH for? Got about 3 in 15 kills off the Dust Stormers in Silithus.

Commento di Allakhazam

blizzard needs to provide a better way to get these

Commento di Allakhazam

I have heard that you can also find it off, of some creeps in Silithus

Commento di Allakhazam

Using the map above I farmed one every 10-15 minutes.. it's hard going (since I need 8!) but it's not as bad as people seem to make out.. just wander around all the different patrol routes and it seems to work.

The droprate seems lower than 45% for me too, maybe about half that, but its still reasonable for such a useful item which you dont need too many of.

Commento di Allakhazam

10 kills straight and getting killed left and right trying to run near all those 47 and 48 roamers and not one Breath, wth this 50% crap come from? I call Bull#$%^....... : ( >

*edit*
took 23 kills for first one to drop, a few days to find 23 spawns....and this Elemental Quest sucks arse.......

I camped one of the spawn locations this evening.
The place holder is a Searing Roc. Spawn rate is about 8 minutes (timed with my thorns buff).
Given that there was some delay from spawn until I actually attacked and a couple short breaks here are the results.

6 Hours
40 Rocs
2 Living Storm
0 Breath of Wind

If this is not fubar then I don't know what is.
WoW is a great game, but this is unreasonable.

I guess if you don't have tracking you are not supposed to be an elemental leatherworker.

Commento di Allakhazam

Blizzard need to give us more breath of wind....need 6 to make a sword.... got 1 out of 4 killed
Too bad...looked for hours....
Killed around 50 rock elementals and never got a single core of earth :-( Sucks too!

Commento di Allakhazam

the % seems to be right for me

each 2-3 mobbs kills = 1 breath of wind. 5 of them in ~20-30 min
sold @ AH for 7g each ^^

Commento di Allakhazam

I hate the breath of wind...i need like 8 to make some legging as a leatherworker.They should improve as drop rating and as a mob number. I found 5 in tanaris,killed everyone for about 3 time and got 3 breath of wind in two hours...but if i need about 20 what should i do,farm three days continously for them.Like i say "improve the numbers of mobs" for better resoults.

Commento di Allakhazam

The best way of finding them so far: get a hunter on your group in the middle of Tanaris and let him track elementals. Takes about 20-30 minutes to find each.

Note: kill earth elementals as well, they seem to share respawn rates.

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed 3 gusting vortexes today, all 3 dropped the wind. So the 50% drop rate is correct, or I am just extremely lucky lol

Commento di Allakhazam

the Heart of Fire wasn't too bad. If you run to Searing Gorge, turn left(south). When you see the first camp on the left, turn right, into the countryside. there is a little lava pool out there and it spawns two different fire elementals, but only one at a time. I farmed this little pool and got my two Heart of Fires in 3 hours. they spawn every 10 minutes. I kept myself busy killing the spiders and elementals in the camp between spawns. good drops, good exp.

I estimate that the stated drop rate of 45% from a Gusting Vortex is out by as much as a factor of 10. Combined with the difficulty of chasing the wind around the desert :) this makes Breath of Wind well worth its AH price.

Commento di Allakhazam

The rate on the vortex things in Tanaris is right. I killed three of them, got 2 Breath of Wind.

Commento di Allakhazam

Random probabilities make for really boring adventures.

A 1 in 100 chance may never roll, or you could do 3 time sin a row!

Take heart, if they aren't dropping come back another day or time. I've had this experience. Some days they drop, some not.

I have not tried gathering them since Silithus though...

But now that my bank is bulging, I just by them bulk cheap in the AH. 75s -1g is a bargain - more than 2g makes it worth your whiole farming yourself. Going blind in the white sand dunes is for younger folks than me;)

Ps - is that true regarding the your level and the drop rate linked to level? Group membership eh? Placeholder? The more I look at it the more the game seems to run on Casino - "house wins" rules. Thanks for that.

THis is incorrect with regards to the drop from Cyclonian. I tested the theory of dropped, and so far I've killed him 66 times, and I've gotten a single Elemtal Air from him. I belive he no longer drops the Breath of wind.

Commento di Allakhazam

on my first trip farming the winds in tanaris i got 2 but the last 2 times i have went i spent 2 hrs tracking them and did not find 1 vortex to kill which i think is complete bs i would rather kill 50 mobs and get 2 then spend hrs looking for 1 mob and pray that it drops

Commento di Allakhazam

well i killed 3 gusting vortex and got 2 breath of winds and i was merely passing by...

Commento di Allakhazam

It's quite easy to farm these, I myself am a hunter and can track them so I got 5 breath of winds in half an hour.. But then again, i was speedkilling, running all over tanaris hunting Gusting Vortexes and those earth elementals(can't remember the name), got a core of earth aswell so, not a bad trip! ^^

What's really annoying is getting the heart of fires! :/ I was farming all day long and got one stinking heart of fire!

Commento di Allakhazam

In abour 6 visits to Tanaris, I only ever found one Gusting Vortex and he did not drop breath of wind. Buy at AH but watch for the bargains. Some peeps are pricing way too high.

Commento di Allakhazam

The Gusting Vortex is considerably easier and earlier to kill than the other two "high droppers". I was level 50 when fighting them and got 2 breaths out of maybe 10 kills - while my level 46 friend got none in about as many kills. I therefore have reason to believe that the percentage relates to level 60 chars, but, as was said earlier, with chances you can always "get lucky". The breath is indeed used in many skills/receipes and more often more than just 2. It therefore does not surprise me that on a "young" server (such as Moonglade) the price in AH is considerably higher (at the moment about 10% of all players are level 60) - in Moonglade at this time you either find no Breath of Wind on offer, or it costs around 4 gold. The median price, I believe, relates to ALL servers, so it is no wonder it gets cheaper later and is shown here for a few silver.

Commento di Allakhazam

I believe the drop rate is correct. I have absolutely no problem finding these elements. I have farmed for 1 to 2 hours per day and received 3 to 4 Breaths of wind to use for my Blacksmithing Recipes.

i killed one in tanaris and he droped it killed about 20 more and no drop it wouldnt be so bad but the spawn and the drop on this is rare so it sucks

Commento di Allakhazam

I saw one once when i was lvl 40 in tanaris.. bgut i searched for over 3 hours and didnt even find ONE elemental..
pretty sweet.

Commento di Allakhazam

well i killed 3 gusting vortex and got 2 breath of winds and i was merely passing by...

Commento di Allakhazam

Well, I have been killing Gusting Vortex by the droves. So far have dropped 92 of them. Only found 2, count them "2" Breath of Wid's. So the percentage they have on them for Tanaris is way off. Its more like less then 2% then 45%. You would think that at 45% like it states above, I would have somewhere around 42-44 of them. Well, I have a whopping "2" of them. So this cant be correct. Not even in the same city much less the same ballpark.
