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.

Kommentar von evoker

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.

Kommentar von 8722

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.

http://www.wowhead.com/?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+.

Kommentar von Liioe

Update for patch 2.1

These now drop from Shimmerscale eels (62, low hp) in the lake northeast of Shattrath City, in Terokkar Forest. I got about 8 in the span of an hour, roughly 120ish kills.

drops like hell in outland by elements that can drop mote of water
dont know why blizzard add this (trash) to loottables :-?

To farm these in EPL, start at either lake (I chose southern so I will begin my route description there). You can farm these rather easily. 60 UD Affliction Loc is what i farmed with along with VW tank.

Starting at southern I killed all 4 spawns, note the horrors fear you, after killing go towards the dry riverbed, shown as a dark brown swath on the map. Mount up follow that bed to the road, follow the road till your just about directly south of the other lake and the road starts to turn west. Once there leave the road and head north, you can kill the ghoul type monsters on your way for http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5282. Fight the 4 that spawn at this northern lake then retrace your path and your other 4 should have respawned.

I collected 10 in about 25 minutes following this path and killing the ghoul types aswell.

19 or 29 twink 100hp chest enchant requires 4 of these, among many other things.

Can these be tracked using the "find fish" ability?

Not 2 minutes after I posted this question, I found a blip on my minimap which confirmed that "Patch of Elemental Water" in Azshara can be tracked using "find fish".

Kommentar von valschic

Any "reliable" spot in outlands to farm these? Or is it just a low chance to drop from the same type of mobs that drop motes of water?

Just trying to find a spot more easily accessible than EPL or Azshara.

Kommentar von 287666

Felwood is a great place to get these. Go north and kill some Toxic Horrors. I needed 4 for a pre bc enchant for my twink and I got all 4 in under 5 minutes. No joke or exaggeration.

Kommentar von sharpyx1

If you are going for these, i recommend to farm them from mobs - i have been fishing for about 1-2 hours now following the rotation listed and i am getting rather frustrated with the low spawn rate of these fishing nodes.

I have got 3 in about 1h 25m, just a heads up.

Kommentar von 165328

I killed the elementals in Eastern Plaguelands. 7 kills, 3 drops. Fine and dandy

Kommentar von 340244

go to Felwood and kill Toxic Horrors i got 6 in 35min!

Kommentar von Acetylcholine

If it helps any, I made a circuit between the southern lake to Lake Blackwood, I think it's called. (It's the lake just to the northwest of Corin's Crossing, near the center of the map.) The southern lake was quite nice, with a high amount of Plague Ravagers, probably at least 10-15. When I exhausted that source, I headed to the central lake, killed the four or so Blighted Horror, then returned to the southern lake.

All in all, it took me about 15-20 minutes to get 10 Essence of Waters, not to mention 3 Globe of Waters.

Edit: It should be noted that this was done at level 80, so I was pretty much one-shotting the mobs. Plus, I wasn't aggroing anything else.

Kommentar von 370300

I'll quess that it would be easies to farm in Eastern Plaguelands. the drop rate is 20-22%

Kommentar von tr00

Lake Mereldar (Eastern Plaguelands, ~56.72) is the best place to farm.

Kommentar von vardebedian

Since Cataclysm hit you can't get these from EPL and Felwood any more. I've found that Ice Avatars in Frostwhisper Gorge in Winterspring drop them, but the rate is pretty lousy.

Kommentar von 358254

Try the Steaming Fury's in Un'Goro Golakka springs. I wasn't really farming there, but I got two off them in about 5 kills. Their level is almost the same as the iLvl of the essence too, I suppose that may help.

Kommentar von kirzan

As of The Shattering / Cataclysm:

Steaming Fury seem to be the new Toxic Horrors (Removed from the Game). Now there is a catch! It's not a high drop rate that makes them ideal, it's the respawn time. They respawn incredibly fast. One-shotting them I have not been able to wait. If none is close to you, go to the other side of the pool and they most likely will all be respawned.

Now as for the drop rate. You need to understand it is all based on luck. So you might get 3 within your 10 first kills as you will only get 1 after 20 kills. I cannot number crunch this much, but in my experience, I cleared the spot about 7 times (around 10-15 mobs per clear) and I ended up with 6 Essences of Water.

I recommend this spot if you are 70+ and can mostly 1 shot them (obviously). Hope this helps, have fun saving on a few Rugged Leathers because I know I will.

Edit: Also an average source of Globe of Water and Elemental Water .

Kommentar von Tampap

I was farming the Steaming Fury mobs in Un'Goro for Essence of Waters and about my 30th kill Glimmender Reinholzstab drops. This makes my second epic world drop in a week. I also got Schattenklinge from BRD.

Also, the Patch of Elemental Waters in Azshara are no longer in the zone. I flew around with Track Fish on and only saw Oily Blackmouth School. I assume since The Shattering and Azshara becoming a much lower level area they have been removed.

Kommentar von 477449

It should be noted that since the Cataclysm, these can no longer be fished in the Bay of Storms in Azshara, so elementals are your only viable source to get these besides recruiting an alchemist to transmute them.

Kommentar von Moulders

I was just farming Reinquellelementars in the swamp of sorrows where these seem to have a great drop rate After 35 minutes
I had looted:

Essenz des Wassers -11
Kugel des Wassers -15
Elementarwasser - 20

this was as of 4.3

Kommentar von 1007837

Confirmed.

Swamp of Sorrows returns highest drops in all 3 water items.
Time spent (fire Mage) : 30 minutes
Total kills : 149
Inert elementals 119
Green drop : 1
Aquamarine : 1
Essence of Water : 6
Globe of Water : 7
Elemental Water : 15

Also mobs are closer together and respawn faster.

Kommentar von Ankhara

I farmed up 10 essence of waters in about 40mins on the Purespring Elementals in Swamp of Sorrows. I had previously been farming the waters in Wintersprings and the drop rate wasnt even close. Also the mobs respawn so fast I didnt even have to stop and wait for respawns. Will definitely be hitting up Swamp of Sorrows for these essences.

Kommentar von 1094529

As of patch 5.2, the Purespring Elementals in Swamp of Sorrow don't seem to be dropping the Essence of Water, spent about 30 minutes killed untold hundreds, no drops. Went to Winterspring, killed the Ice Avatars and in no time got the Essences I needed.

Kommentar von SirBroose

Just farmed up 10 Essences of Water in Swamp of Sorrows. ilvl 550 fury warrior, so obviously killing as fast as I could move from one to the next. They respawned faster than I could kill them - no down time. In 22 minutes, after 184 kills (I counted out-loud to keep track), I had all 10. I also looted 13 globes of water, 15 elemental waters, 92 inert elemental shards, 54 inert elemental pieces, 2 green drops and 6 gray vendor drops.

Kommentar von Epyrian

I spent 6 minutes killing the Purespring Elementals in Swamp of Sorrows (southwest corner of zone), and got the 4 Essence of Water I needed.

I understand that my time may be super lucky... however these elementals spawn so fast that you literally cannot kill all of them in the area.

Happy farming!

Kommentar von subby

Farmed this mob for 30 minutes, here is an idea of what you'll get post 6.2 WOD patch

Mob farmed Staubstürmer I killed roughly 70 in about 30 minutes in Silithus, north by northwest, in other words the top left corner.

11 x Elementarwasser
7 x Essenz des Wassers
5 x Essenz der Luft
7 x Odem des Windes
8 x Elementarluft

Kommentar von Madelyn87

After 30 minutes farming Purespring elementals in the swamp of sorrows as a lvl 100 mage I got:
- 16 essence of water
- 22 elemental water
- 15 globe of water

Not a bad place to farm, the respawn is very quick.

Kommentar von nmb3000

The drop rate of Essenz des Wassers by Reinquellelementar may have been nerfed hard in the last couple of days. I farmed them for 20 minutes and got:

Yes, one Essenz des Wassers :(

Maybe I just got very unlucky, but there were several other people farming and others mentioned the horrendous droprate. I can only assume the nerf was in preparation for Foliant der Illusionen: Azeroth -- pretty horrible given how hard it is to acquire these essences now.

Kommentar von 1679562

I was able to farm up 8 essence of water in 22 minutes... No nerfing as much as I experienced. I farmed them up in Swamp of sorrows.

Kommentar von winner10

Just Farmed these( the purespring's in Swamp of sorrows ) mobs for about 35 minutes

I got:

20x Essenz des Wassers
35x Elementarwasser
33x Kugel des Wassers
255x Inaktiver Elementarsplitter
115x Inaktives Elementarstück
7-8x Grey Items
4x Green Items
1x Reiserucksack ( Now i have somewhere to put all these silly little pebbles lol )

I did notice at about the 25 minutes mark, that the respawn rate was starting to slow down, suffice it to say that i was killing them so fast that other people were leaving, the respawn rate is affected by other players. I was farming as a boomchicken with the +5 range talent which helped me snag mobs before anyone else.

I would reccomend a ranged class and a couple guildies to help you farm this if you really wanted to do it.

EDIT: Checked the AH today because why not, a single one of these on my server ( Go Aerie Peak! ) was selling for 300 gold consistently, might be a gold money maker if you dont mind farming.

Kommentar von OtherGuy

With the new tagging mechanic in the current patch, I was able to party with 4 other players and get them very fast. I got 45 Essenz des Wassers in only an hour. With the new system everyone in the party still gets personal loot, so getting these is pretty fast.

Swamp of Sorrow x15 Essence of Water 20min

Kommentar von xScarlife

Hello everyone, I have made a really nice guide on how to obtain Essence of Water. Click Here!

You want to come over to the Swamp of Sorrows and kill the mobs called Purespring Elementals as they will drop you the Essence of Water. The only thing you have to do is run around and kill them.

They have a 5% drop chance and the respawn is also very fast. At the end of your farm you should have around 60 Essence of Waters.

With the new Legion loot system you can also do this farm in with a group of five players to maximize your drop.

I hope this has helped!

Kommentar von cstober2010

<<Super Speedy Survival Scurry>>

Hunters! Go Survival. Now, follow these steps and you will swim in the Essenz des Wassers.

Your destination is Purespring Cavern in Swamp of Sorrows (18,58).
Your target is Reinquellelementar.

1. Eat Bärentatar
2. Die Vögel a monster.
3. Quickly loot.
4. Harpune and Rückzug to your next monster.

The end.

(the respawn rate on these guys is instant)
about 1 essence per min if you're quick and lucky

Just needed 3 of these so went off to kill the Purespring Elementals in the Swamp of Sorrows.

70 kills got me the 3 Essence of Water along with 6 Globe of Water and 9 Elemental Waters.

Kommentar von rphalange

(16 June 2017 . Patch 7.2.5)
I needed 10 Essence of Water. Killed about 300 Purespring Elementals in 30 minutes, running around as a shaman in wolf form. Highly recommend this strat or as a druid, or really any character with a passive speed boost. Saves time on mounting, of which there's no real need due to such a fast respawn rate.

Loot:
10
9
16
2 green items and a recipe
about 47 gold worth of junk

3% drop rate for Essence of Water, which is half what this page currently lists.

Kommentar von Yotingo

They seem to have upped the drop rate of the Ice Avatars in Winterspring. I got 3 of these in about 5 minutes of moonfiring everything in Frostwhisper Gorge. The respawn rate is nice and fast--the other side of the valley was already spawning by the time I finished one run across. This makes it the best spot to farm Essences of Water in Legion.

And don't forget to kill Frostilicus! He also drops these.

Kommentar von Phasmatix

If you are farming for Essenz des Wassers Reinquellelementar are brilliant.

In about 20 minutes I farmed 250 of these, netting me;

28 Elementarwasser (11.2%)
18 Kugel des Wassers (7.2%)
10 Essenz des Wassers (4%)

+ a few greens and 9g 95s worth of trash.

Kommentar von addmydataz

Needed a small stack of Essence of Water for Enchanting. Headed over to Swamp of Sorrows. WoWhead lists the Purespring Elementals as the best source (6%)

Started running the area using a Lvl80+ Frost Mage. Small area, no one else came through while I made laps around the pond. There are 17 Elementals in the area, with always at least 5 up. They are spread out enough that AoE attacks aren't really usable. The most I could group up was 4, and if you don't move fast you lose aggro on the 4th one before you finish casting Blizzard. I used Ice lance almost exclusively, single target, and about half the time summoning Purple Bird, half the time just running or *Blink* from corpse to corpse. Spawns are just far enough apart that the time used to summon a mount was almost as much time as just running. Some type of ground speed boost or Enchant would be useful here.

Gathered 25 Essences, took between 1- 1.5 hours ( not pushing hard) and 395 Elemental Kills. Drops as follows:

25 Essence of Water (6%, as listed)
23 Globe of Water
39 Elemental Water
300 Inert Elemental Particles
8 Inert Elemental Mass
4 Greens
1 grey item
1 Star Ruby
1 scroll Plans: Thorium Helm

That was a Grind for very few Essences, so I decided to compare the next-best source, Ice Avatar in Winterspring. Same character, same tactics. AoE not really effective here either, as the Avatars have very slow pursuit speed, and are spread out enough that by the time you Aggro'd #3, the first one was out of breath and staggering back to it's spawn point. So, Ice Lance, *Blink*, running, only Mounting here and there. A bit faster as it's a one-way straight run through the Gorge, Avatars pretty much in a straight line. Mash Frostilicus, Mount up, Fly back to top of Gorge, run down, rinse, repeat.

**Cons on this Farm** Lots of traffic through here, several times lost the whole group to other players, multiple times had to wait for respawn of mobs, respawn rate slower than Swamp of Sorrows.

About 1.5 hours, 395 Avatar kills, 18 kills on Frostilicus (received only Particles from it). Drops as follows:

24 Essence of Water (6%, better than listed)
40 Globe of Water
35 Elemental Water
306 Inert Elemental Particles
6 Inert Elemental Mass
2 Greens
1 Purple, Hurricane Bow
3 Greys

Conclusion: It's a Grind, period. Swamp of Sorrows would be the better place due to heavy traffic in Winterspring, with faster respawn and smaller area.

TLDR; Get Lvl80+ Drood or Shammy. Go to Swamp of Sorrows. Use Cat/Wolf Form with every speed boost possible. Circle pond for 2 hours. Kill Many Elementals. Collect Essences. Win.

Kommentar von schnizol

Ironically, it drops from Outland elementals, so lvl 70 in Nagrand, even though it can't be used for any Outland-related crafting

Kommentar von paulol

In about 15 minutes of time by myself on my speed set druid I got about 11 essence of water from Ice Avatars in winterspring. Loot appraiser also listed a looted item value of about 6500g from drops of other materials, gromsblood purchased from the nearby imp vendor Vi'el, and a few thorium nodes mined in the area all separate from the value of essence of water.

I only had 1 person come by in the 15 minutes and was ignoring the enemies he seemed to be doing an archeology site in the area.

Kommentar von Tigerram

Thought I would try Dire Maul (Hydrospawn) for a change of scenery. 3 minute run on cat druid from entry to exit. Used side door (entrance off Eldreth Row - 66 35). 4 essence in 10 runs (30 minutes). Not worth the time frankly.
