I have a quest rated level 56, Toxic Horrors, have to get 3 droplets from the Horrors in the Irontree Woods in Felwood.
Thing is, whenever I go there, over the past week, there are level 60 Hordies farming these creatures … why? Do they drop something else useful? I’ve never been there without seeing at least 3 or 4 level 60 Horde …
They drop Essence of Water, which sells for up to 15g a pop, on my server anyway. It’s very likely the most profitable single target farm you can do in game right now.
The way I did the quest was to join a hunter on my faction who was farming them and let him have all the loot, the quest items just remained on the corpses for me to scavange after.
At least on a PvE server, the most efficient way to get Essence of Water is by fishing. Single layer and PvP may change the dynamics of that, although I would imagine the same is true for the Felwood farm as well.
The item also drops from the elementals in Eastern Plaguelands, but the drop rate isn’t all that great there either and the mobs are immune to frost damage (so mages might not find it quite as easy). However, there are two lakes and a lot more elementals than in Felwood.
As far as the quest goes, yes…join someone who is farming, if you can.
Prices on Pyrewood are around 14g/piece. It’s still the most valuable essence, so the undeath to water transmutes may also be profitable (assuming you are not transmuting arcanite - I think it’s the same cooldown).
What a moaning mini you are. I had this quest recently too, there was me alone up against five of your alliance and it took me all of 15 minutes to do. Get a grip.
