Best farmed in northern Silithus off the Dust Stormers. Be prepared, though, everyone and their brother farms these things there, it is sometimes hard to get them. Visit at off-peak hours for your best chance.

If this doesn't work for you, you might try buying Essence of Water and getting them transmuted. That's probably the easiest way since EoW are always on the AH for a reasonable price.

A warlock specced with Intensity and a Paladin can duo these and clear the whole place before respawns. Have the Paladin use Concentration Aura, tag 4-7 elementals (as much as you can grab running around without losing them) with Curse of Elements, and once they're on you, use Hellfire and have the Paladin heal you. You can easily get 5-12 essence per hours.

I've spent several hours farming these off the Dust Stormers in Silithus. The drop rate varied, but I was able to get about 4-8 essence per hour as a shadow spec'd priest. Depending on your server, you may have to compete with others for the mobs - I however never had a problem.

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.
Life ‹-› Earth ‹-› Water ‹-› Undeath
...............^............v
.............Fire.. ‹-› ..Air

Dont bother trying to find the Cyclone warrios or any of the rarer mobs because they take too long to find, your better off farming the dust stormers. I farmed there for about 20 minutes and managed to get 4 essences and a Krol Blade! And the dust stormers give rep with the waterlords

The best class to farm essence of air is mages, they can AoE atleast 6-12 at a time. With 2 points in magic attunement and Ice barrier they will be hitting you for 30 damage a hit thats after they break your ice barrier.

Are essences still in high demand now that Burning Crusade is out? I don't think I really should spend the time to get the transmutes for these items, as I don't come across these in the Outlands. I'll have to check my AH to see the prices, but it would surprise me if there is a demand for these, unless they are connected to a class quest.

Can be very easely obtained running circles around the mountain in Silithus, if you're lucky a rare spawn might just make his appearance there, watch out as he's not easy to solo if you're lv 60...
My first round around the mountain i had: (i didn't kill the air elementals further away from the mountain)
6 essence of earth
5 essence of air
3 elemental air
2 breath of wind
trash: random bs plans, star ruby
My second round:
5 essence of earth
1 core of earth
1 elemental earth
4 essence of air
2 elemental air
2 breath of wind
My third and final round:
4 essence of earth
2 core of earth
8 essence of air
1 elemental air
2 breath of wind
trash: aquamarine, green bracers, green mace
This took roughly 30-40 minutes as a lv 80 warlock
Done on Bloodscalp EU, high population and noone was in the zone.

Murlocs (Tichondrius - Horde) Essence of Air MARKET CONTROL STRATEGY
I went to Silithus today at around midnight server time, and left the zone at 1:15 with 60 essence of air, and a stranglehold on the server's essence of air market for 2-3 days. Here's how I did it.
Every once in a few days, there is an elemental invasion in Silithus, where a large number of "Whirling Invaders" spawn. Check silithus daily for the event. The Windreaver mob yells over silithus announcing the invasion periodically.
To make HUGE money off this event, follow this strategy (Just don't do it on my server!)
Round up and kill the "Whirling Invader" mobs as efficiently as you can. They have the highest chance of any regular mob in the game to drop Essence of Air - around 40%
If you feel up to it, you can repeatedly aggro The Windreaver, kill his 3 Whirling Invader adds, and then force him to drop aggro, and immediately kill his 3 adds again. This method of "Juggling" the boss mob might be the most effective way to quickly kill Whirling Invaders.
Spend an hour or so doing this. In an hour I had nearly 60 Essence of Air.
Kill The Windreaver. This is devious, underhanded, and a bit unfair... But it allows you to control the Essence of Air market for the next few days - as no other method of farming this item is nearly as lucrative. (For those who don't know, when The Windreaver dies - the invasion ends and the mobs stop spawning.)
Mop up the remaining invaders, and filter your Essence of Air onto the auction house at 5-8 at a time (DON'T flood the auction house, it will devalue your items!)
Enjoy making 400-500 gold for an EASY hour's work. Be proud of the fact that you rounded up a lot of a rare item, then forced the farming of the item to halt for several days!
If you are dilligent, you should get good at timing the invasion so that the next time the Air Elementals take over northwest Silithus, you are ready to go round up their drops and end the invasion again!

There is real money to be had here since people roll alts with their heirloom items (weapons in this case). Since heirlooms can only be enchanted with old world enchants which do not have any restrictions on item level, the best old world enchants are highly sought after.
+15 agility to weapon requires 4 essence of airs
+25 agility to 2h weapon requires 8 essence of airs
And since Silithus is far away from many of the hub cities most people no longer bother farming these. So if you're looking to make some easy money then farming these is a nice way to do so. Theres even more money in it if you perform the enchants to vellums and sell them on the AH!
FYI other popular heirloom enchants are +30 SP to weapon, Crusader, and +4 stats to chest.
I expect with the release of Cata to be even higher demand for heirloom enchants with Gobbos and Worgen running around.

Just spent about an hour killing Dust Stormers in Silithus farming for this stuff. After 208 confirmed kills I had-
11 Essence of Air
15 Breath of Wind
20 Elemental Air
So, I averaged out at around a 5% drop rate from these mobs, and slightly higher for the other drops.
Side note- with the Shattering happening, there's lots of Thorium Ore spawns in Silithus, comparable to Un'goro Crater. Just sticking in the area where the stormers were at I netted around 6 stacks, plus almost a full stack of truesilver.

Contrary to the comments here, I just got 8 Essence of Air by killing the 32,27 and 32,16 locations of Dust Stormers twice and it took less than 20 minutes. I could make a video proving it, but I'm hoping you'll just take my word on it. The drop rate is fine.

Have been ripping through the elementals in Silithus for over an hour now and not a single Essence of Air has dropped. It would appear that Essence of Water has also had its drop rate nerfed as I had similar luck with it.

I needed two of the 15 agility enchants and decided to try northern Silithus for the Dust Stormers. Last night I spent about 30 minutes farming with no luck for Essence of Air. I got annoyed and logged out to come back later. I spent another 30 minutes tonight and had the opposite luck. The first night I got 0 essence, 1 Breath of Wind and about 4 Elemental Air. Tonight I got 7 Essence of Air, 13 Elemental Air and 12 Breath of Wind. So I think it is still pretty random. Some times you get lucky, sometimes you dont. I came out with 96 Inert Elemental Shard and 46 Inert Elemental Pieces (both trash items that drop 1 at a time if none of the other items). So after about an hour combined farming I came away with
7 Essence of Air
13 Breath of Wind
17 Elemental Air
96 Inert Elemental Shard
46 Inert Elemental Piece
Assuming only 1 item drops per kill thats around 179 kills.
These were all from Dust Stormers. I found the easiest place would be NW Silithus, south and east of The Crystal Vale. As an 85 hunter I easily 1 shotted everything and could track elementals. I cleared the east then went to south and repeated. The respawn is high, so staying in those 2 places I never ran out of mobs. In conclusion, it all seems to be based on luck on whether you get alot of drops or no drops so stick with it and eventually you will get what you need.

Yes.. seems really to have gone down. I had farmed this area many times before. I don't have the exact numbers but I had farmed this area at lot before cata to make the 2H agility enchant. I used to get 10 or more in 30 min or so, make a few enchants and sell the left overs for 10g each. Tonight I was farming for an hour and got one. 10 Elemental air, 4 breath of wind, and one essence of air. Darn. AH has 2 listed at 100g each so it seems we are having some troubles, Houston.

+1 its been nerfed, easiest way to see it is in the prices on AH. pre change I drew my line around 20g, now I see them posted for 250g. I search frequently to find the guy that has no clue that posts for 20g still, its getting very rare.
good news, that the vanilla agility enchants can bear a much larger markup. unfortunate that people have to pay 1500-3000g for an heirloom enchant though.

I went to Silithus to grind some essence of air. I moved around the mountain and killed all dust stormers but did not loot any essences in the process. I did another round and this time I looted no less than 9 essences. I think that this more than anything proves how random randomness can be. I don't know if the drop rate stated on Wowhead is wrong, but I would think that it is a pretty good approximation given how it is computed. Good luck farming and don't let the comments from unlucky players put you down. It might be your lucky day today.

1 Breath of Wind
4 Elemental Air

Not sure if maybe this patch has increased the drop rate or that I'm extremely lucky, but I somehow managed to get 11 EoA within 40 minutes, approximately. Seeing as I probably took two little 3 minute breaks.
I can only hope the drop rate stays this good, seeing as I need about 9 more. Haha.

After killing 125 of the Dust Stormers in Silithus this is what i looted,

1 Essence of Air
So no I would not say the drop rate was increased with patch 4.0.6.

Just got done farming for these for 2 agi weap enchants. Chose the mobs in Silithus, like most folks. Spent about 1 hour 20 mins farming, luckily I was the only one there this time. I killed 132 Dust Stormers, level 54 and 55, for a total of 8 drops, or about 6% drop rate.
Interestingly, the drop rate on airs form level 54 stormers was double that of the 55s. I tended to get eternal airs and breaths of wind from the 55s, but the 54s dropped more essences. Maybe their loot tables are different, not sure. The level 54s actually had a 10% drop rate, according to MobInfo2.
With random farming and mining, netted about 6 stacks of thorium plus the 8 airs I was farming for.
8 Essence of Airs
6 Eternal Airs
6 Breath of Winds
95 Inert Elemental Shards
25 Inert Elemental Piece
Not a great rate, but doable if you are patient. They're selling for 150g a pop on my server.
Edit: had to remove the greens I farmed, those were from nearby Cultist.

I too farmed the stormers for about 20 min and got 8 airs. (farming on a lvl 80 aff warlock; target dotdot, target dotdot etc... kill all on one side in about 3 min .. loot all.. move to other side. rinse and repeat, this will allow a full clear of both sides in about 7 min or so) I wont say the drop rate is "Fine" .. but its about typical for what it was back when. I still miss the old days when the storms spawned and I could farm 40 in the same amount of time.. as it is now.. airs sell on my server for 70-150g EACH (and the +15agi enchants sell for about 550g ea). so this IS a good money maker.

I just killed 114 mobs - got 9 essences of air.
the funny thing is - after killing 105 mobs i only got 6 essences and then killing another 9 mobs got me another 3 essences!
so this is all about luck ;)
i would say approximately u will get at least 1 essence every 10 kills!
those essences go for 180g on my server - good money( if u need money )
i needed it for enchants for my alt ;)

I also got ahead of the spawn timer a couple of times and went looking for the twilight prophet, killed her and her entourage three times for a total of 30 twilight texts, which i sold for 40g per stack of 10.

I needed 6 of these, so I began my farm on the storms at the top left of Slithius like everyone else. By running around with Cheetah at 85 1shotting all of them in sight, it took me a total of 152 kills(Count the shard drops) to get 6 essences of air. How long was it? About an hour total, but I took out for BG pops so I can't be sure. Math wise, 152/6 makes an average of 1 essence per 25 kills. Another way to say it is a 1 in 25 chance drop rate. But 2 of them I got very close together in kill count, so it's pure luck in the end. Some commenters report 1 per 10 kills after wards, so I wasn't so lucky, apparently.
Got them to enchant my future rogue's heirlooms with +15 agi each.(Already had 2 essences, so thus I only farmed 6) So if you want the enchants, go get it. It won't take more than an hour or two at the most if you're an 85 1 shotting all the mobs.(I had Cheetah though:) )

Nothing really new to report but thought I'd share my results from same spot in Silithus as everyone else:
40mins killing Dust Stormers (didn't count how many, just killed as fast as they could spawn)
10 Elemental Air
8 Breath of Wind
4
Essence of Air
about 21g worth of gray item vendor trash
lvl 85 Death Knight - Took this toon cause of the previously stated Thorium node increase (Miner)
Mined 82 Thorium Ore in just that area so if your going to farm the Essences take a miner, makes it a little more worth your time.
Happy hunting :)

As far as I could tell (after having to farm 8 of them), the upper left corner of Silithus is still the best place. However, I definitely wasn't seeing the drop rates described. I killed the Dust Stormers and I killed a whole lot of them. The key to farming them efficiently is mobility and high burst damage. Anyone who is 85 should not have issues with the burst damage, but mobility is a different story. I tried doing it on my DK who even has glyphed Bone Shield (15% faster movement speed) and I almost went crazy. Switched it up to my Druid and just spammed Moonfire and shifted to Flight Form to get around. The problem is that there is a fairly large area to cover and the mobs are pretty spread out. I found that with the Druid I could farm pretty quickly. I'd put my drop rate at around 1/15. After getting the 8 I needed I figured I'd kill a few more and ended up getting 3 real quick. Sold on my realm for around 145g a piece. So yes, it is worth farming and not paying the AH price so long as you got mobility.

Honestly, I have to think that the people getting super low drop rates are just very unlucky. The Agility enchant scrolls sell for 800-900g, so I've been farming them. Over two days, I've gotten between 6-10% drops every time I've visited. On my most recent two farming excursions, I've been 9/109 and 14/177. On the earlier trips, I didn't count, but I did end up with 8-9 per half hour.

I don't think they nerfed the drop rates i think the drop rates nerfed themselves up without blizzard knowing it.
a good exemple of this is how hard it is to get illusion dust compared to greater eternal essence.
the whole of the low level profession mats have been having low drop rates suddently after the shattering.
at this point i'm thinking the level difference from 60 to 85 is now too huge and something is making the drop rates go horribly wrong for max level people. because it seems people lower levels gets better drop rates.
a friend told me he was near 70 and got everything in amatter of minutes, while after an hour i had next to nothing.

These are still commonly used for the agility weapon enchants for heirlooms, but their drop rate has made the enchant prohibitively expensive. It is rare for me to see the essences priced below 250g per on the AH since 4.1, and even rarer to see more than 2 or 3 posted at a time. This makes the enchant scrolls worth more than 1000g each just in raw mats.
Then, you have to consider that not everyone has that particular recipe, and not everyone who has it is regularly crafting it, so enchanters would be well justified to take a large percentage profit on those. Don't be surprised if you see Agility and 2H Agility going for 1500g-2000g because that's what they're worth in this current economy.

Starting to think that the drop rate has been buffed since 4.1. I'd search for essence of air daily, and be lucky to get 1 in a day. There are currently 29 on our AH, from a dozen different sellers and Enchant Weapon - Agility has plumeted from selling at 2000g a scroll to 680g. I haven't seen this much essence of air since before the drop rate was nerfed in 4.0.1. Not quite sure what's going on atm, if the drop rate was buffed or several people are just liquidating old stockpiles simultaneously or what...

I believe in 4.1the drop rate has been increased. I farmed for about 20 minutes while waiting for Tol Barad to pop and came up with about 6 Essence of air. The drops are still not as frequent as the days of old, but it doesn't seem to be excruciating anymore

As well a lots of junk armor good for vendors.
Only set out to farm 4 lol, but seeing as how they sell for roughly around 300-400g a piece on my server I just kept wanting to farm them and get more.
Not to hard if your 85 and have 310% flying, I'm a rogue and made good time, mainly used my throwing knife on them and kept moving.

Confirmed. On Thrall US at present these are around 110g. Going by how long it takes me to farm these things myself, that puts the price at around 500% of value. One thing is to exploit all the lazy people (hey I've done that myself), another is to be a complete moron and grossly overcharging.
The grey items that drop along with these items more than pay for the cost of actual farming them. That cost being what it costs you to get there, and the repair for wearing on your gear. I know a lot of people skip the greys just because they're grey. Yeah they take up space, but a couple stacks of grey ends up being a lot of gold in the end. Typically the same people I see not picking up greys are the same that sit around Org begging for 5g to buy some water.

Gonna have to say that RNG is RNG. I'm about to level a hunter so i wanted to farm 8 of these for the agi enchants. I cleared the whole spawn in silithus 1.5 times on my first try and didn't even get one. I went back to bgs, and farmed for the few minutes between AV queues(since I'm approaching the Bloodthirsty title). There was probably about 2-4minutes between each queue. In one of them I got 3 essences, others I got none. Within a few hours I got my 8.
Just do something in between if you're having $%^&ty luck.

Today I just went to get 8 of these, I wasn't aware the droprate decreased, though it took me only 20 minutes to get them (lucky?), which was 95 kills, with a little thorium mining mixed in.

The drop rate seems to be abysmally low now for Dust Stormers in Silithus. I spent an hour and a half just trying to get four of them for an enchant. Resulting loot-
60g of vendor trash
3 greens ranging from level 48 to 52
1 World Drop Enchant Formula
18 Elemental Air
8 Breath of Wind
4 Essences of Air
It took half an hour between the first and second drops, and another half hour between the third and fourth. Honestly, it was a nightmare and was a complete waste of time.
This may just be bad luck, but that's some REALLY awful luck if it is.

Killed 150 Dust Stormers last night, and got 1x Essence of Air.
Went back today and killed 35, and got 4x Essence of Air to drop.

Something is thoroughly weird about the drop rate for this item from
Dust Stormer
s in Silithus.
Based on comments above I went to go farm them. I made one pass, clearing every Dust Stormer that was up, and got one Breath of Wind, six Elemental Air, and seven Essence of Air. Seven!
Then a strange thing happened.
Huricanian
popped. Since I have a strict policy of killing every rare mob I come across, I killed him too, and settled in to wait for all the elementals to respawn.
After respawn, I made another pass and cleared all the Dust Stormers. Instead of Essence of Air, they dropped nothing but Breath of Wind! I got seven more of those. Just to be sure, I waited for respawn again and made a third pass. This time, I got two Elemental Air and four Breath of Wind. No Essence of Air.
I don't know exactly what that was, but if it's random, it's a highly unlikely random.
I also noticed a couple of leveling players enter the area when I was on my second and third pass, though they left the Dust Stormers alone.
I'm going to go back in a few hours and investigate whether the drop rate is different when no other players are in the area, and again next Tuesday to find out if it differs after a server restart.
EDIT: If you're going to downrate for no good reason, then maybe I'll just keep the secret to myself. As soon as I figure out what it is...

I thought the drop rate must have been buffed again, it took me 66 kills to get the 8 essence of air I needed from the dust stormers, but then I killed another 60 (can tell from rep), and didn't get any, so perhaps I was just lucky initially.

Dust stormers in Silithus also drop this but you will need to kill quite a few to get it.
As for me I killed 550 mobs like in 1 hour or so and got:
a. 24 Essence of Air
b. 43 Elemental air
c. 35 Breath of wind
I hope I can sell these for a good price. Good luck farming.

So I didn't count how many mobs i killed but I cleared each side of the mountain twice (because the Dust Stormers only spawn on either side of the mountain pretty much). Took about 15-20 minutes.
Maybe I was just lucky with RNG but I found the results quite good.
Essence of Air - 3
Breath of Wind - 7
Elemental Air - 10
Inert Elemental Piece - 31
Inert Elemental Shard - 41
So it seems like maybe the drop rate wasn't so bad after all. Essence of Air sells on my server for about 200g, so thats a very good haul.

As a level 85 Enhancement Shaman in

灰尘风暴
to another and kill them in one shot using ghost wolf's melee attack. It made for quicker farming than running, or time spent mounting up to fly a few yards to the next one.

As a level 85 balance druid i once killed 2x both sides of where the mobs spawn and dropped about 12 essences. In the second time i got there i killed only once both sides and found 7. The drop rate must be around 4-5 % as is stated here.
Its a good way to farm when waiting for random dungeon even on low population servers. In my server sells around 50-55g but if you are doing it constantly you can take the monopoly and raise the prices more.

I needed these for the agility enchants for heirloom weapons and checked the AH (Bonechewer, horde) for them. 200g+ for 1. After 15 minutes in Silithus I had 5 of them. I might just keep farming for a few days and sell them.

Seems like a pretty good item to farm. 15 agi and 25 agi weapon enchants both use 4 Essence of Air each, and are the best enchants for rogues, druids (if they go feral, which they probably should while levelling), shammies (same deal as druids) and hunters. So a lot of heirloom weapons want the enchant, but because it's not maximum level stuff people don't pay too much attention to it.
It's probably not as efficient ($/hr wise) as farming maximum level stuff that you can get in on, but it seems like a decent money rate that you can probably corner the market in.

4.3
farming info:
Did 4 clears of The Crystal Vale: 112 Dust Stormers killed.
Got 7 of each Air: Elemental, Breath and Essence.
Variations: each clear (El/Br/Es): 3/3/0, 2/1/3, 1/1/2, 1/2/2.
(just so you don't despair if the first clear doesn't get you any Essences)
Each clear takes about 5 minutes
There really is no need to bring a fast runner, as the re-spawn rate is slower than the runaround time, even with just normal run speed.
I did also did try a fly-around in the zone for the Warriors, but a 10 minute trip netted only 17 mobs, and 3 Breaths, 2 Elementals. Of course the drop rates are much more unreliable for just 17 mobs, but just the travelling time makes it not worth it.
All-in-all: drop rate about 5% is still valid, the high prices on the enchants - are worth it!
(please rate up, so the latest info gets attention)

As of 4.3 this is still one of the highest earning items to be fairly easily farmed by lower level players.
The item is virtually useless, EXCEPT that it is highly sought after for the +15 agility enchantment - the best agility weapon enchantment that can be used on heirloom weapons.
On the Nesingwary server, these routinely sell for 100-150g each. There are rarely more than one or two on the auction house at a time, and because people spend very little time in the areas where they drop, they are snapped up very quickly.
Today I farmed the air elementals in Silithus for about 15 minutes. I killed around 40 mobs and got the four I needed along with a bunch of other junk. Also managed to catch the rare mob Hurricanus, which again isn't surprising as no one goes to this area regularly.

So I farmed on a level 55 Shadow priest.
In about in hour, I killed about 95 Dust Stormers in Sithilus. The biggest slow down I had was stopping to drink mana. Loot wise I got:
Essence of Airx4
Breath of Windx2
Green lootx2
Inert Elemental Shardsx65 (6g vendor vaule per stack of 20)
Intert Elemental Piecex24 (1g vendor value per stack of 20)
Again, level 55 (With heirloom Shoulders, chest, head and 38 equipped iL) I got 412 experience for the level 54 npcs, and 448 for the level 55s (not rested).
There wasn't a lot of damage taken on me, and they died relatively quickly.
1 Essence of Air = 19 Total Dust Stormers killed
(Breath of Wind dropped)
2 Essence of Air = 74 Total Dust Stormers killed
(Breath of Wind dropped)
3 Essence of Air = 91 Total Dust Stormers killed
4 Essence of Air = 95 Total Dust Stormers killed (about)

After about 45 minutes, approximately 80-100 dusters, I was able to find 8. I think the drop rate has either increased a bit or I'm just really lucky.

As of patch 4.3, the drop rate is still quite rare. I needed 8 of those for the agility enchant for my 2 heirloom daggers, so I took my time to get them all.
Started: 7:22 AM server (Shadow Council), 3:22 PM Middle European Time
Ended: 8:34 AM server, 4:34 PM MET
281 Dust Stormers and 1 Huricanian
22 Elemental Air
21 Breath of Wind
8 Essence of Air
If you are going to farm this, start from the west side of the Crystal Vale, because there are more mobs there with slightly quicker spawning time than the east side. From west, go in a semicircle toward the east. On both sides, there are 2 "sets" of creature spawns. As an 85, your kills should be quick enough to kill both sets before going to the other side.
Those Essence of Airs were rare, but if you're also hoping for a few green drops for maybe disenchanting, don't be so fruitful about it because only 2 greens dropped for me. Lots and lots of elemental shards and pieces though, so pick it up to make some money. A stack of shards can sell for 6 gold, and pieces, 1 gold.
Happy hunting!

North western silithus is the best place for these. I suggest you make paths for quickest looting and killing.
Example: I farm on my druid for flight form looting. I do a circle around both the east and west spawn areas. I DoT everything, and loot after its dead. And cycle from east to west.
Also, on a side note, if there is other people farming, it doesn't hurt to ask if they want to take one spawn area, and you take the other. For example, They stay at east and you stay at west. This sometimes helps so you aren't both fighting for kills.
If you do these for cash, i personally found turning them into agility enchants is alot more profitable and easier to sell.

i went NW silithus for these too... First out of desperation for agility enchants, secondly cos i wanted the moula.
First time was... tough. first 6 came easy, bout 20mins, 70ish kills... next two were a real grind. took another 180 kills to get number 7 and 8... 252 kills for bout 20 breath of air, 20 elemental air, 8 essence of air, the rest shards and pieces which i just sold for a few g...
second time i went back, farmed while doing random BGs as well as was much more pleasant - broke up the boredom... plus the drop rate seemed higher: 8 in 82 kills. wondering if it's limited by how many can drop per hour or something?
Still, with my server prices, netted me a neat grands worth of essence, and some honor to boot...

Farming these can be quite frustrating. While some people point to getting 5-10 in just 30 minutes of farming, I have yet to get a single one and I've done 4 laps now netting over 100 kills. So this grind is very susceptible to RNG. Primal Airs might be a better choice since the mote -> primal conversion is more preferable (imo) to relying on a 5% drop rate.

I was chasing eight of these for the much-desired +15 agi 1H enchants. Decided to farm them up on my 85 gnome hpriest, perhaps not the most efficient toon for it but I had a decent level of success dropping SW:P on the air elementals in Silithus and collecting 6-12 at a time.
After 33 minutes (according to my buff countdowns) I'd got the 8 I needed plus a bonus one (I was on 6, when I collected 3 in a row?). My total loot list was:
77x Inert Elemental Air
36x Inert Elemental Piece
14x Breath of Wind
10x Elemental Air
1x Light Plate Bracers
1x Lofty Breastplate of Power
1x Siege Bow of Spirit
1x Formula: Enchant Boots - Spirit
and of course
9x Essence of Air
My first kill put me at neutral with Hydraxian Waterlords and my rep at finished was 803/3000 so factoring in the guild rep bonus my killcount was estimated at 146.
Stats: Bonus round!
4.4 kills per minute
3.6 minutes per Essence drop
16.2 kills per drop
6.16% drop rate
Writing off the 3-in-a-row drop as a stupidly lucky outlier (0.000125% chance of occurring), these results seem consistent with already recorded data.
All the best in your farming, may you be as lucky as I was (Unless you're on Jubei'Thos-A, in which case, stay off my Auction House!)

1. Quest series starts with "Doctor Theolen Krastinov, the Butcher" from a ghost NPC right outside the door to Scholomance. There are two ghosts and they are kind of hard to see, you can easily run by them without noticing. Speak to the lady and she will tell you a story first, then you will be able to get the quest. There are two other quests in the series that require you to return to Scholomance and kill other bosses. Upon completion of the line you will get a trinket that allows you to see the rest of the ghosts of Caer Darrow.
2. Equip the trinket and go to where the blacksmithing building is in Caer Darrow (it is inside the walls, not by the docks). There is a dwarf there who sells the transmute formula. He also sells the recipe for Major Mana Potion and some blacksmithing plans.

I've been farming silithus non-stop for a few weeks now, a few hours a day...
The whirlwind invaders ARE a part of the elemental invasion. Their spawn is connected to the lvl 60 elite mob
The Windreaver
.
You will be notified in your chat history when he spawns!
My experience leads me to believe that he spawns almost on a daily basis, though often in the early day.
Whirlwind invaders ARE alot easier to kill, so go for those mainly - avoid killing the windreaver, since he puts an end to all whirlwind invaders...
A Silithus must-know: Keep an eye out for
Hurricanian
. He looks like a whirlwind invader. He is guaranteed to drop a green + breath/essence if youre lucky.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people become belligerent over drop rates for the uncommon materials and patterns needed to make rare and epic gear. If these things were easy to make, they wouldn't be rare or epic. If the materials were easy to gather, everyone would have the end product. There would be no challenge, everyone would have amazing gear, and there would be no reason to work for anything. I'm glad there are stupid-hard tasks to complete in this game. I'm happy that it's actually noteworthy for such-and-such guild to have what's-the-name that is capable of crafting X item or performing Y enchant from patterns and formulae that take a lot of effort or luck just to gain, material gathering aside.
I guess that part of the problem is Thottbot. When you can easily look up how to get something, you expect to be able to do so. It's like the people who beg for money so they can train in everything that's available at their new level: they feel that they're entitled to it just because it's there, that the difficulty involved is somehow not intentional or something that needs to be "fixed."
IMHO, it should take the efforts of many to craft one Shifting Cloak.

Theres a very simple concept you need to understand about why it may or may not drop. Contrary to grammer school logic, 5% chance doesn't mean that you will see 5 drops out of 100 kills. Infact, you could kill somthing a million times and never see it once.
If I flip a coin 100 times and every single time it comes up heads...what are the odds is going to be tails on the next flip?
People have this weird idea that if its a 10% chance that one out of ten times it will happen. Thats not true...statistics are alot more complicated then that. It could drop 1000 times in a row, and then not drop over the next 9000 times....that makes it 1000/10000 and a 10% chance of dropping...but not 1 out of every 10 drops was that item. In fact if you look at a span of the first 2000 drops, it was a 50% chance, but over a span of 10000 drops, it was a 10% chance. Does that make sense?
My point is this, while it might be a 5% chance of dropping you could see one drop every other guy or not at all. Its the same reason why some people get every single roll in a run, while others don't get any. Its just random, and random means exactly what its supposed to mean: Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective.
The % of drop that is represented here is supposed to represent the chance of it dropping over an infinite number of drops. Over a span of so many kills, that % could be completely different based on the random factor.
Statistics are not an easy subject. Thats why im a junior in college taking a class on them. Not a freshman in highschool...

I farmed the 55-57 stormers for a little more than 2 hours. I got 4 essences, 5 elemental airs, and 10 breath of wind (which sell pretty well in the auction house). Didn't see the boss though.

I was up one day nice and early grindin essence of air in silithus the spot in the north west. When i got there there was around 10 cyclone warriors and 10 dust stormers. This seems a bit strange as people have said theyr very few cyclone warriors.
Later that day i went back to silithus and there wer NO cyclone warriors ... hmmm
I then noticed that earlier there had been a weird black portal thing in the middle of the mobs... which was no longer there...
anyone know anything about this?
Btw i grinded about 6 cyc. warriors before recieving a essence of air :D

Been farming for about 2 days killed approx 100 each day i got about 4 EoA per hour and 10 Elemental Air and 5ish Breath of Wind... Drop rates can be on and off i could be farming for 30 mins and feel like its never guna drop or i could kill 5 and get lucky realy depends. Great money off this but it takes a alot of time and luck. by the way during the "elemental invasion" there are whrilling invaders or w/e they are called and apprently they drop EoA too.. imo more mobs to kill!

3 Hours of Farming
12 Essence of Air
10 Breath of Wind ( stopped dropping after an hour )
20 Elemental Air
2 Greens and a tailoring pattern
I originally came for 4, but i got them in 50 minutes. Nothing else to do, so I just kept farming. Lucky for me, there was no competition whatsoever after the first 30 minutes or so.
Dual boxed my shadow priest and survival hunter. Started off taking 3 at a time with ease, but I decided to focus on mobs to save mana, and was dropping them under 25 seconds each. Hope this helps.

Day 1:
100 kills
0 x Essence of Air
9 x Elemental Air
2 x Breath of Wind
0 x Blue
0 x Greens
Day 2:
100 kills
4 x Essence of Air
3 x Elemental Air
6 x Breath of Wind
1 x Blue
3 x Greens
Guess I was very unlucky the first day and somewhat lucky the next day. I got the blue before any essences, so I was starting to think I would not get any, but then 3 dropped within 15 kills.

Dust stormer info--
Mages can aoe Dust Stormers SO EASILY...just put on dampen magic, and they will hit for 1 DMG!
I AOE 10 at a time, ive gotten 4 airs in under 1 hour, 1 green, several elemental air, and breath of wind.
Core of elements also drop off the stormers, they sell for 16g for 30, i can get 90 in one hour.
good luck

Using my 60 shaman, here's how I farm Dust Stormers for essences:
1) Grab as much nature resistance as you can before you leave. Also grab at least 2-3 stacks of food and water.
2) Upon reaching NW silithus, buff rockbiter or windfury. I personally prefer the consistency of rockbiter. Around 300dmg a hit with TUF.
3) Stand in between 2 dust stormers that are no more than 50 yards apart. Ideally, try to find 3.
4) Start off with flame shock. As the mob comes towards you, put down stoneskin, nature resist and mana spring totems. Replace mana spring totem with water spirit trinket if its up.
5) Do NOT put down fire totems as the lightning shield will kill them off making them mana inefficient.
6) Reapply flame shock once it runs out. Use frost shock when u get clearcasting or if you have elemental mastery.
7) Once you kill the dust stormer, heal up and pull the second dust stormer into your totems.
8) Repeat if you have a third one in range. My 2 min totems usually run out after the third one.
Using this method, I can farm about 5 pairs of dust stormers before having to eat/drink. It's not super fast but you'll be able to kill about 300 dust stormers in 4 hours. On average, it will yield about 5-6 essences. If you're lucky, you'll be able to find the whirling invaders and farm those.
Oh... one additional tip... get a good guild that talks a lot of crap on their chat. It's gonna be long and boring.

as a fire mage I can kill them very fast
mage armor & dampen magic and you only take ~50 damage from them...no need for frost nova kiting..go all out dps
sometimes they died imediately after the pyro - fireball - fireblast opener & DOTs if I critted.
Didn't even have much downtime, drinking only 2-3 times between the evocation cooldown
In 3 hours I had 90 core of elements, 11 essence of air, 3 greens etc.
On my rogue they were totally annoying, had to heal after each >.>
for melees they are bad because they deal nature damage that isn't reduced by armor and can't be dodged, parried or blocked

Yep, market has all but crashed on these- they're selling on Drenden for under 2 per, just bought a couple stacks of 10 for 13G each. They might readjust these in a later patch, but for now it means some of the nice agi chants, at least for twinks, just got a lot cheaper.

/agree, dust stormers are the mobs to grind for these. There are tons of them in NW corner they die quick and the respawn is FAST. I needed some breath of wind for a sword on my 45 rogue so I took my 70 hunter over to Silithus.
I decided to keep count;
60 minutes 149 stormers killed, 9 breath of wind, 10 elemental air and 41 essence of air.
I'm not much of a mathematician but that's just under 25% or so drop rate. It's possible that more than one dropped of the same mob, I wasn't that diligent during the collection process.

I farm the Dust Stormers for Breath of Wind and end up with lots more Essence of Air than Breath of Wind.... last time spent about 4 hours grinding over 2 days ended with 20 Breath of Wind and over 250 Essence of Air. Nobody seems to want them. Its getting harder and harder to sell these on the AH.. :-(

Farmed for about an hour in Silithus with my 72 rogue.
22 Essence of Air
7 Breath of Wind
5 Elemental Air
2 Greenies (bracers+gun)
1 Blue (off-hand)
50 Core of Elements
Not bad.

I'm an 80 Lock and thanks to the map above, me and my Blueberry in 30 minutes farmed:
1 Assassination Blade (Blue drop with Strength and Crit rating)
17 Essence of Air
25 Core of Elements
6 Breath of Wind
4 Elemental Air
Most of the time went to waiting for them to re-spawn.
Go there. You will have great success! :)

Definately a drastic drop rate increase from classic, farmed 26 of these today from the place on the map, took about 30 mins. Not worth selling on ther own, but turning them into heirloom agility enchants, 250g per scroll. Not bad respawn rate at all either. Would reccomend getting your cenarian rep up at the same time since there are cultists just next to the elementals, summat to do while waiting for re spawn.

this goes for over 25g for just 1..! on sylvanas thats crazy i can get about 20 in less then 30 mins. and thats 5 scrolls of the agility enchant on wep. thats 700g. pretty much for a pre bc item the enchant isent rare at all either.

I went to Silithus to get 8 Essences of Air for the weapon agility enchant. After 10 minutes, I got 8 Essences of Air, 16 Core of Elements, 2 Elemental Airs, 5 Breath of Winds, and a few greens. Great place, I recommend going to the Northwest Corner. Respawn time is quick, and I got to kill Huricanian. :)

Pure luck? Maybe. I killed over 150 Dust Stormers in a course of roughly 1 and a half hour, not a single Essence of Air. Got some Breath of Winds and Elemental Airs. I then furiously moved to seek for a Cyclone Warrior and the very first one dropped Essence of Air. Guess which will I farm from now on?
评论来自
Allakhazam
you need to be a masochist to farm those. Those elementals simply won't drop essence of air just because the drop rate is way too nerfed. Additionally these are the most non-elite uber elementals you'll find in game and keep in mind that 95% of the times they won't drop a thing, nothing at all, not even 1 copper..jeezus Blizzard you really give elemental leatherworkers a hard time.

I am 57 hunter and a friend told me about farming breath of wind so i decide to grind in Silithus. I get there im about half way to lvl 58 and start grinding and drop on of these EOA to my suprise i found out there valued at about 18g so after a few hours of farming and grinding im 2 boxes out of 58 i just stuck up 7 of these on AH and 12 Breath Of Winds ... Good farming if u ask me.. well we will see how they sell

These things are one of the last things I would ever want to farm.. because there is no wiggle room for elemental shamnas to kill them other than using frost shock and fire totems and the totems usually get taken out by that overpowered shield of theirs.. completely requires wasting mana and they hit way too hard compared to the toxic horrors in felwood. THEY SUCK FOR FARMING and that is an understatment.

Supersized :-] My elemental leatherworking rogue (level 51) was in the need of these for Stormshroud and other stuff,
so I took the pain up and flew to Sillithus. Started to kill some Stormers (North-west).
Was very suprised to see the first 10 mobs drop 4 Essences. So, I'm a happy rogue :-)
(Edit): Perhaps I was lucky in the start, but took me 15 minutes to grind the 6 essences I needed,
very much better than back when you had to skip sk00l and sit all day to get that, must remember that.
Enjoy your grindings!

147 whirling invaders killed - 5 Breath of air, 9 elemental air, 5 essence of air
the first four essences of the invaders were pretty evenly spaced ~every 20th, the last one took about 60 kills

this is a joke ive just been to silithus to farm 2 essence of air for an enchant. no sign of the warriors and killes at least 50 stormers and got nowt. no essence of air no trash nothing.
every single one of these mobs had nothing on em.
this needs to be fixed coz i aint paying 12-15g for these.
Dont bother farming these it will probably be quicker to farm gold and just buy em.

Have killed a grand total of 514 dust stormers and have gotten 17 breaths(far from 10% as alla claims more like 3.3%) 20 elemental airs(also far from 10% more like 3.5%) and 5 essence of air(not 2% more like 1%).
Also these elements are DAMN hard to kill (im a rogue) they have this lightning shields that does so that when I hit it there's a chance for me to be damaged for ~110 damage. Also their damage is good, a combination of instant cast spells and normal hitting. They are immune against poison and also their armor and hp are really high. Blizzard. If you are going to nerf the drops. PLEASE nerf the damn mobs too!. I can kill 6 regular mobs before I need to eat while I can only kill 2-3 of these.
It's a big hazzle to grind these!

I grinded on these guys with my Priest from 57-60 and got 32 EoAs, around 120 BoWs and around 90 Elemental Airs. It took about 20 hours to grind those three levels... No blues or epics dropped until I went and killed some random humanoid out there and BAM a Myrmidon's Signet. =)

I'm a holy spec pally (Current level 65) and have been farming these since level 53 and all I can say is "Rags To Riches". They are a goldmine if you are patient. Example: The first time I farmed them (after reading these posts) I got a drop rate of about 3%...kinda low. The second time (next day), it was 7.85%. I went back yesterday, the first hour 3 dropped, Windreaver appeared along with the Whirling Invaders and in 40 minutes I got an additional 11. They sale for about 20g on my server.

Farmed these things for 2.5 hours for 1 breath of wind. Need 12 EoA to make the Stormshroud set for my rogue...and it took about 12-13 hours to farm out the patterns for that...Blizz you need to do something to make it viable for those of us who want to make our own gear.

Well the fact is you get approx 1 every 30 minutes if you go constant killing them, i ALWAYS get 4 of them when raiding for approx 2 hours. If there is a Demon happening it goes up to approx 5% droprate... well those who wait will be rewarded!

With the release of patch 2.1, the elemental Essence drops have been significantly increased in their drop rate. Yesterday I farmed for nearly two hours to only get to EoAs. Today after the patch went live, I went in and in less than forty-five minutes I was able to obtain another TEN ESSENCES. This was off the Dust Howlers in Silithus and no elemental invasion had taken place.

luckily I'm a tauren hunter, so with AotW I get +60 nature resist, 10 nature resist racial ability and with a druid (with improved MotW) that's 107 nature resists without requiring special gear. That makes it easy to farm these as most of their magical attacks are nature based.

The drop rate seems low, but last night for about 4 or 5 hours, I think my roomie and I who were farming them got extremely lucky. Ended up finding maybe around 10 elemental air, 16 breath of wind, and 6 essence of air all combined when we were done. We were farming the air for future enchants for ourselves. :)
We also found additional items on the guys. So, worked out well, but like I said, think we got really lucky. In last hour the drops dropped to a crawl, then nothing. But was fun.

It seems that the drop rate may have been nerfed slightly this latest patch (the one in April). I've been here for 3 hours now and have gotten a grand total of 2 elemental airs and 2 breaths of wind - and no essence of air.

For people farming that since Classic launch :
Which mobs to farm =
Dust Stormer
in Silithus
Location = All around the back of The Crystal Vale "moutain". From 20, 21 to 32,16
Just finished farming 10 Essence of Air for
Robe of the Archmage
. Took exactly 432 kills, no pause, no DC.
Droprate is nowhere near the 24% shown here.
Exact drops were :
Essence of Air
x 10
Elemental Air
x 23
Breath of the Wind
x 20
Pattern : Heavy Scorpid Belt
x1
Gallent Flamberge of the Boar
x1
Impenetrable Gauntlets of the Eagle
x1
Porknog comment should be upvoted as well.
Good luck !

P.s. 1st Essence dropped from 91 kill.

I wouldnt bother farming these, just farm gold in Silithus. If a mob comes along that drops these then yeah go for it but its so much quicker just farming gold.
These are selling for 12 gold each on my server.
