Spawns in Northwest Silithus, sends an emote throughout the zone. Brings a lot of 57-59 regular elementals that look like him along. 4 Patrol with him, the rest just hang around like the Dust Stormers normally do.

Commento di kahdgarxi

Fairly easily solo'd as a 70 Disc/Holy priest (pre PoM nerf). Just fear the adds, keep up SW:P, and heal through his damage.

Went to sithilus to farm some essence of air, and noticed a LOT of dust stormer and invaders. I got an emote saying he was in the Northwest.

Took him down easily as a 70 rogue, he dropped 2 essence of air and the stormshroud pattern. But be warned! When you kill him, most of the elementals in the area will despawn - so you won't be able to farm essence of air as easily.

Commento di ceemeeir

His drop rate is funny, because wowhead says only ~15% for 2 items, but when I killed it, dropped everything for me.

Commento di Thottbot

As long as he is alive the Whirling Invaders are still around. They can be famred for Essence of Air more easily than Dust Stormers.

Commento di Thottbot

I been grinding there for 2 days straight and i never seen him, what is his spawn rate//location plz.

Commento di Thottbot

Unless you're a complete nature resist freak, this guy isn't worth killing considering the only worthwhile item he drops is geared to shammies. You're better off letting him live and farm his little friends. They're 10 times easier than the native elementals. I've made over 300g from the essences I've gotten from this event. There always seems to be alot of female NE hunters on my server when he spawns though....

Commento di Thottbot

this has one use for everyone Auction house!

Commento di Thottbot

he comes with 3 adds (non-elite lvl 57-58)
his normal attacks hit for 500, crits for 1k; plus he casts shocks for 1k+ damage and ae storms

bring at least 2 friends, preferrably 1 healer class

Commento di Thottbot

bow in this context=breath of wind

Commento di Thottbot

killed with Druid (me) mage, and pally. He dropped Ace of Elementals somehow, anyone know if he is supposed to? =X

Commento di Thottbot

Stop killing him. The essences farmed from his invaders > his loot. always. The invaders keep coming if he's alive, so stop killing him for a card you can get off of alot of other elites, or a mediocre shaman belt.
For those wanting enchants, when he is up is the best time to farm for your essences. Good luck.

Commento di Thottbot

Wouldn't you think it makes sense (if you were farming) to keep things competetive? The enchants etc. that use Essences are good money makers... and those lvl 60 mounts aren't cheap. If everyone was selling essences, price would go down.

Commento di Thottbot

He's an event spawn.

He spawns on the north-western corner of the map.

You can see if the event if is happening if you go there and see DARK coloured "wind elementals" + the normal ones there.

This is a big guy with 4 ads.

I did it 2 days ago.
Just me, Priest , and a Warlock. Both 60s of course.

Commento di Thottbot

Dropped 3x Elemental Air, 2x Breath of Air, 1x Essence of Air, 1x Zephyr Cloak, 1x Ace of elementals. Did it with a druid.

Commento di Thottbot

Apparently this guy also drops the new elemental leatherworking pattern for the new Stormshroud Gloves. Not sure about the drop rate or any of that bull%^&*, but this is information that Thottbot and Allakhazam don't even have in their database as of yet. Just thought I'd let you all know.

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

Stormshroud Gloves 109 Armor, +1% chance to hit, +1% chance to critical strike, Level 57, Leather (Rare BoE)(Rare BoE plan drops from the Windreaver Air Elemental Invasion Boss in Silithus)
- 6 Enchanted Leather, 4 Essence of Water, 4 Essence of Air, 2 Cured Rugged Hides, 2 Ironweb Spider Silk
Stormshroud Set Bonus(4): +14 Attack Power
Picture of the pattern drop.

Commento di Thottbot

So if this is an event spawn, once the event begins and you kill him how long before he respawns? Does anyone know ?

Commento di Thottbot

killed him 5 min ago, just used 2xgreater nature prot pots.
drop: pattern : storm gloves, 2xessence of air and zephyr cloak.

Commento di Thottbot

You know hes around when he Yells: Here approaches windreaver. lol

Commento di Thottbot

can any1 give me coordinates where he is:P?

thx

Commento di Thottbot

All 4 of the bosses can be soloed by a warlock, however, your spec will judge the difficulty of the fight.

Personally, I would believe Soul Link to be the best spec to solo them all-around. Conflag has a hard time on Baron, and misc. affliction builds including SM/Ruin would have trouble dispersing the damage on Avalanchion.

Anyway, for this all three of the bosses besides Avalanchion, your best bet would probably be to start out with a Felhunter (most cost-effective method, an Infernal is overkill IMO) - in the case of Avalanchion, a voidwalker since his damage is physical, and have him attack the boss. Banish one add, fear another, put CoDoom on the boss and then take out the last of the three as fast as possible. Each add only has about 2k HP so 2 or 3 shadowbolts + a shadowburn can remove them pretty fast.

At this point, your felhunter should have a *moderate* amount of aggro, and a corruption won't take aggro. Re-fear, make sure banish doesn't wear, and the moment the boss turns on you re-cast corruption, and spam SB. The bosses do not melee if they are at range, they all have a ranged attack (this includes Avalanchion.) Midway through the fight, you might need to recast a pet (with Fel Dom if you have) to take aggro on one of the adds, or if your initial pet is still alive, sic it on one of them. Once your HP gets below half, all you can really do is DPS as fast as possible. Normally, I have the bosses at about 20-30% by the time Doom goes off, and they die.

Dealing with the adds afterwards can be a little hectic if you are low on HP. Keep one Banished and the other Feared, keep DoTs on the feared mob and drain life/bandage as necessary. If you have no chance of course, collect monies and run away!

With a 10% ace drop rate, when these guys spawn all I can say is to get off your rump and kill them in chain. As alliance, I find it easiest to go to Silithus => Un'goro, hearth to IF then boat to Darn, Winterspring => Azshara. Azshara is usually the least active, while Silithus and Winterspring tend to be the most active; as such, as horde I would suggest going to Winterspring before Azshara (even though azshara is closer to Org.)

Commento di Thottbot

Killed with a 60 priest and me (60 mage)

Was pretty hard though :)

Didnt die just had to use ice block.. Got spawns down too.. 1 essence of air..1pattern of blaat (blue)
1 back! nature ress

Commento di Thottbot

just finished soloing him 2min ago. 60mage, bwl/aq gear. i had to use some NR gear (150).
tryed 2 times and 3rd was succesfull. :)

Commento di Thottbot

Killed him with 3 people, and all the blues dropped plus an essence

Commento di Thottbot

I soloed him with my 65 Enchantment shaman, he was hard but with some luck you can take him down, he got low defence.

Loot:

4 essence of air
3 Breath of wind
that crappy 15 nature resict cloak
pattern:stormshroud gloves
Ace of elements
5 Core of elements

Nice loot i must say =)

Commento di Thottbot

I killed him and his adds w 70 mage. he dropped
Zephyr cloak +15NR and 2 essence of air. Cloak D/E'd 5 illusion dust. If your a farmer, i advise you DO NOT kill him. After i did, the portals vanished and i lost my higher % essence drop from the Invaders. Live and Learn

Commento di Thottbot

after farming essences for awhile, 2 manned him with a 57 hunter and me a 55 resto shammy

dropped 2 essences of air, 3 breathes of wind, 3 core of elements, 3 elemental airs, ace of elementals, sash of the windreaver, and the glove schematic, (which hunter got cause i already had one from the water lady).

Commento di Allakhazam

Me (priest) and a mage just ran in and started aoeing their asses, the mage died before the windreaver was dead but could finish him off. he hits really hard so you should aswell.

Commento di Allakhazam

u guys dont even know wat word noob means plz stop use the word.. retards?

Get a life

Commento di Allakhazam

He doesnt drop anything that great seriously...

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed as warlock with voidy, i dont care if people wanted stuff, i saw it as a challenge and i dont complain about getting 2 essences and a good pattern for killing one mob

Commento di Allakhazam

So instead of everyone making hundreds of gold pieces farming the whirling invaders, you kill the Windreaver for a 1/20 chance of getting plans..or a 1/10 chance of getting the Ace. Really brilliant. How much NR stuff could you get with 300g worth of essence?..alot more then one cape. The Windreaver just showed up in Silithus, and by the time I got there from Cenarion Hold and killed one Invader the Horde had killed him already and everything despawned. So once again everyone one gets screwed because of a few noobs greed and short-sightedness.

Commento di Allakhazam

Want the essences?(no comment)

Kill the other air elementals.
Sure there are other ways to get some of the things he drops like the Ace or a better NR cloak, they take longer just to get just like farming the regular air elementals would take longer to get Essence of Air.

Cry more about your precious essences... /sigh

Commento di Allakhazam

I soloed him with my priest in 2 times... loot 2x Zephyr Cloak and few Essences of Air

Commento di Allakhazam

If u kill him all the whirling invaders will disappear, so you might piss off ppl farming those ,with killing Windreaver :).

Commento di Allakhazam

killing this dude should be punishable by internatinal law and be count as a murder. I stand and farm the elementals, has gotten one essence
THEN 4 alliance (I play alliance too) appoaches and kills windreaver. SO WHAT THE HELL AM i DOING NOW? STAY AND FARM THE DUST STORMERS WHO GOT 2% DROP CHANCE? I NEED 10 ESSENCES SO I DON'T WANT TO KILL 500 STORMERS FOR MY NEEDS. %^&*ing bastard noobs...

Commento di Allakhazam

dont kill him =)

clearly as it should be

only a retard with the brain downsized to minimum would kill this guy instead of the spawns the approach as long as he�s alive

much more profit than killing windreaver himself

stupid noobs not even bright enough to check the forum posts while looking at teh imbaah epix loot

oh my god ...

Edited, Thu Jan 26 17:41:19 2006

Commento di Allakhazam

yea but your by yourself farming for profit.... I highly doubt you could kill windreaver even if those 4 had left him for u to kill.... u woulda been dead in a couple of seconds....
no offence but whos the noob?

Commento di Allakhazam

I cant find any Windreavers are they really there what it says on the map?

Commento di Allakhazam

Did anybody see him since the changes to Silithus ? I've been there several times since then and have yet to see him (again). . .

Commento di Allakhazam

According to WoW site, this is the guy that drops the pattern for Stormshroud Gloves. I think he's going to get killed a lot more often now.

Commento di Allakhazam

You want the ace? Go BRD
You want the pattern? Check up commercial CC for people having it.
Want the cape? A cape without any stats at AQ? oh boy! Go farm Maraudon for the +12 stam and +10 NR one.
Want the essences? (no comment)

So let this guy turn around the hill if he wants... just ignore him ;)

Commento di Allakhazam

i saw my friend killed him like 4times and 2 of the 4 blue drops was ace of elementals and always dropped 2essence of air .

they killed him with 4 man he got 3 windreavers(adds) to so its a quite hard mob to kill.and he deals massive damage to .

Commento di Allakhazam

Extremely tough elemental, to do with the Elemental Invasions mentioned in the patch notes I assume. He hits for 300-600 damage with melee, uses Chain lightning for about 500-700 frequently, and shocked me once for 1000. He also has quite a lot of hit points.

He comes with 3-4 Whirling Invaders as well, so don't attempt him without a good party at your back. Wouldn't mind seeing what else he drops though!

Commento di Allakhazam

but don't be so bloody frigging dumb and kill him... GOD!

Commento di Allakhazam

All I know is that when I'm up there and he's spawned, I am going to farm all the airs I need off his minions and then kill him for the pattern on my elemental LW rogue. Go @#%^ing cry if you want his minions' loots I want my damn pattern.

Edited, Aug 20th 2006 at 1:11am EDT by Onataru

Commento di Allakhazam

Solo'ed as a Affliction Lock. New talents make this easy mode.

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone have any idea how often/when the Elemental invasions happen?

Commento di Allakhazam

Got damn i get so mad when i read posts like u a noob because u killede him. Dont *!@#ing deside what other people want to do, they pay just as much to play as you and they can do what the $%^& they want to, to bad u cant get u airs then but then do it with the normal onces.

And just for the record i do know how hard and annoying they are to farm for i got a hunter where i farmede air for 2xagil on weapon, and for all the other freaking agil enchants we need it for, beside that i farmede them for my paladins hide of the wild, not 2 mention i helpede lots of friends do the same. Big deal if u dont want to farm that farm water and transmute it to air, works easly to, or go farm the cave at wpl for a chance at living essence and the greater nature pot u can sell for an easy 100g and buy u airs on ah.

Commento di Allakhazam

Wow so much quarriling n00bs, kill him and let people get pissed at u. They can't do @#$% so who cares? Get ur CLoack and shut up about it.

Commento di Allakhazam

personally i take great pleasure in pissing off farmers and considering that 90% of the time the farmers and ni hao ubainow chinese gold farmers why the hell wouldnt i want to discourage them ... besides, its a fun fight... so QQ more please while i pew pew Windreaver and the three other rare elemental spawns... ill just /chuckle and move on

Commento di Allakhazam

u can't say that that elemental's loot sucks cuz it isn't so. maybe for a blacksmith sucks but for a elemental leatherworker is great loot so... leave your comments at home! If i don't need cooper bars that doesn't mean that it sucks!

Commento di Allakhazam

The windreaver dissipates into the ether, his howling winds still ringing in your ears....

Didn't see him tho, but i take it that he despawns as well?

Commento di Allakhazam

damn. if he didn't have those friends then a warlock could solo him easily.

Commento di Allakhazam

easy, did with four, 2 pallies, a warrior, and a rogue...IMPORTANT, focus on windreaver, NOT his lackeys...need to bring him down first to keep his damage to a minimum, THEN take out the guards, no one died during our attempt.

Commento di Allakhazam

He just spawned 5 mins ago on Burning Blade Euro.

Commento di Allakhazam

i got 2 essence of air,the stormshroud pattern,the zephyr cloak,3 elemental air,2 breath of wind,and 4 core of elements!

Commento di Allakhazam

Took him and his guards out with warrior mage and rogue.

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed him a couple of days ago on Sargeras; he dropped the Sash of the Windreaver. Sash of the Windreaver]

Commento di Allakhazam

i PAY to play this game.....ppl want his items and dont plan on giving up their first born to you farmers in the AH...so unless you plan to pay my game fee i guess you'll just have to shutup while i kill him...

Edited, Sun Jun 18 09:43:48 2006

Commento di Allakhazam

Just duo'd this rare spawn w/ a guildy. Mage & Hunter took it out.

Very tough, did it with a Mage interfering as well.

He has 3 adds and he hits like a ton of bricks, bring pots. YOU'LL NEED 'EM!

I got Ace of Elements, the +15 NR cloak, 2 EoA, and some others.

Commento di Allakhazam

Farmed his spawns for about 30 mins with a buddy(got around 9 essences between us) before this chinese hunter killed him. Oh man we were so pissed >.<

Commento di Allakhazam

the number of idiots still killing that Windreaver :S The plans suck, the sash sucks, the Ace drops from other mobs....

Farm the Invaders with your little fudged up raid, and like Trowlerman says, u make hundreds of golds, depending on how long u continue farming.
But alas, the game is also suited for people under 16 and a 60 IQ average.. ~~

Commento di Allakhazam

we killed him with 2 hunters and a druid

dropped the zephyr cloak Zephyr Cloak some cloth points with 16 int and 16 sta, as well as 6 breath of wind and one essence of air

I want the the Pattern: Stormshroud Gloves so does anybody think i will NOT kill this guy cuz there will be a bunch of angry people that can´t farm anymore.... LOL..... I wonder y Blizzad picked this mob to drop a brand new set piece? If you can´t figure that one out... ur a NOOB..

Commento di lostmuted

Anyone know in classic if this event is going on? well edit if i figure it out my self.

Commento di Fkleppe

Killed one of these in a 2 man group. He dropped 2x Essence of Air.
Be cautious, the 3-4 adds will come with him if you attack him.
He is immune to silence it seems.

Commento di 7ammerheart

Solo'ed him as a lvl 60 fire mage, with a mix of mostly ZG, AQ20 and some BWL gear. It took me 3 tries before I succeeded. Even then I died right after I had got him down! What makes the fight difficult is not as much his adds, but that he won't be trapped by frost nova.

My advice is; Firstly, clear the area infront of where you mean to fight him. Secondly, If you are a fire mage: Use all your CD's, start off with a fireball or pyroblast. As soon as the Windreaver and his adds get close, use frost nova to trap the adds, and get away from the Windreaver with blink. Get an ignite rolling with scorch, and if you have time, cast another fireball. If not, use every instant cast you have, especially fire blast, to try to burn him down quickly. Blink away once more if you can so he doesn't kill you. I also used mana shield and dampen magic, but I'm not sure how much it helped. In the end, killing him came a bit down to luck, but mainly it was also just about nuking him before he got to you.

For me he dropped only one essence of wind, but also the Zephyr cloak and the blue recipe. Not a bad haul :)

Good luck!
