Drops elementium ore which is used for the legendary sword, Thunderfury

Kommentar von Insno

It might be worth mentioning that fire resistance does nothing to lower the damage done by the bombs they throw, even if it is fire damage.

To those of you farming ore, how many techs are there in BWL roughly?

Kommentar von 125087

They do NOT respawn after nefarian is down.

i unlocked my BWL from 3 weeks ago tonight(monday night) and went in. there was a pack of dragons we skipped up. the supression room that slows you to all hell is empty. no dragons or device.

the technicians do not respawn.
Master Elemental Shaper Krixix does infact respawn though. i think once every 6 hours. have not got him to drop an ore or a book in 8 kills(im not a miner so im pretty sure i can't get the book)

...you can kill all the Technicians, and then either drop out of combat or die if you don't have such an ability. The corpses will be there for you to loot, but because you didn't kill the entire group, all the Technicians will respawn again.

I can confirm that this does work. Two friends and I cleared up to Firemaw and summoned one of their hunter alts into the instance to try it out on the first group after Lashlayer. He was able to kill 1-2 technicians and FD. They would respawn and the corpses were lootable - have gotten 2 ores off the same group/mobs at the time of this posting.

I would note though for anyone planning to do this solo, bring plenty of food for yourself and your pet if your doing this as a hunter. Your pet will die a lot and you will take a lot of damage. We ended up summoning in a healer for rezes and heals to minimise down time.

For reference, the hunter was in primarily 25Naxx/10Uld/Conq Badge gear with a gorilla pet.

Unholy DK engineer here, having a blast making use of all of those things. Ran BWL tonight, but my group was more interested in boss loot than a thorough clear, so we skipped, among others, the pocket of techs off the side of that first room of them.

For clarity, we killed Nef, but did not kill the pack of techs I am farming. I would recommend this method so everything else will be dead (e.g. The whelps in the suppression room).

Having gone in once, plagues ablazing, and promptly kissing the floor, I came here to read some and figured I'd share my own strategy so others could benefit in turn.

As others have said, expect to die if you can't vanish/FD/invis/otherwise-drop-combat. My plan accepts this. Go in. Pop army. Deathgrip a tech for them to eat. Toss an explosive decoy out for things to chase. It does distract the big guy from you if you time it right.

If you're really lucky, DG will come up and you can pull out a second mob, but so far I've been a one-grip pony.

Cobalt frag bombs are... Interesting. The big guys seem immune, but it keeps the other techs back. In general, the decoy seems more useful, but someone else might find otherwise, particularly someone better at kiting.

Kommentar von zingar

either im being extremely unlucky or respawned groups dont drop the ore. ive killed around 10 packs so far (same pack respawned) and not 1 single ore droped.
if anyone got any clues (maybe they do drop but lower %?) on this please say so

edit: each BWL raid id has a maximum number of elementium ores that can drop (i think its 4 or 5)

Kommentar von LuckyBandit

If you kill Firemaw the Techs DO NOT RESPAWN after a soft reset, waited 2hrs went in and everything was gone including the slowing things, waited 20mins while inside nothing happened, left came back next day same thing, dont make the same mistake I did idc what these ppl say its not true

Kommentar von Ethlin

I was farming these and on the 4th ore, I rolled on it, won it (I was the only one in the raid group save one offline person in Org), but didn't get it. I had bag space and the body was not lootable and was not sparkling. Made me mad.

Kommentar von 138715

Just want to add a note based on what people have said about their being a MAX number that can drop in one raid ID, this is not true.

I did a full clear with my guildies for a laugh, 8 dropped in that certain raid, I then started the AQ questchain which involved with me looting a book inside the raid so I decided to extend the lock, there was a pack up so I decided to see if I could grab any ore from them, which to my amazement, I looted one.

I am a rogue and if you use blade flurry with FoK to kill an entire pack (Minus the large elites with 160k health) and then VANISH, you can reset the WHOLE pack including the technician's and the ones you killed will STILL be lootable on the floor, I found my ore on one of the dead resettable mobs.

edit: that's two ores in 10 minutes.

Elementium Farmers: For those of you wondering, the Blackwing Technicians are located after the third boss of the instance Broodlord Lashlayer. You'll need at least two to defeat Razorgore the Untamed(even at 85 I'd expect) because someone needs to control adds while the other person uses the orb to control him and break eggs. Vaelastrasz the Corrupt currently requires at least two as well, the more dps the better. All other bosses up to Chromaggus (haven't tried him) are easily soloable by a level 80 prot paladin.

If you aren't looking to clear the whole instance you might still consider taking out Firemaw for easier farming, as he patrols in the area.

Kommentar von Bachus

Extended a raid lockout from a previous clear of BWL to see if they respawned. They do not. The only mob that respawns after a reset of a cleared BWL is Master Elemental Shaper Krixix. So if you want to farm Elementium, don't let the raid do a soft reset, or don't clear past Broodlord.

Note that Master Elemental Shaper Krixix can drop elementium, and continues to respawn after soft resets, but has a really low drop rate and isn't a great way to farm ore.

Trash respawns if you don't kill the boss associated with it. At level 85, you do not need to kill any of the drake bosses to farm this trash. You can easily run around them without aggroing them and then come back a few hours later.

Kommentar von 306084

As of the current patch, cataclysm, if you kill all the technicians and leave the warlocks, the technicians don't respawn (waited 7 hrs, then checked again 2 days later-- I have only killed the first 3 bosses. Additionally, I tried the trick again on the second large cluster of mobs by only killing 2 of the technicians and when I died instead of respawning, they all despawned. Has blizz caught on to this trick--or am I just bugged? Someone confirm.

Edit: After talking to some of my guild mates, this trick was fixed back in vanilla, but no one mentioned it in this wowhead post.

The technicians DO not respawn IF u cleared away all the mobs b4 the Corehound boss

Kommentar von 409170

I've cleared up to the room with all the technicians but i didn't kill any of the dragon bosses, came back half a day later and still no respawn. Seems like they don't respawn at all now since i didn't kill any boss in that room.

For everyone who reads this page:

Blackwing Technicans are not connected to a boss. If you don't kill their group and go kill Nef, they will be there half a week later. So long as you have not killed their entire group, they respawn.
I know this because me and a pally friend recently cleared this for gold, not ingots, and he wanted to skip the second room of technicians. When I came back later that week, they were still there, waiting to be killed.

Kommentar von 75673

These guys do respawn.
Just dont kill all the creatures in the pack. If you let one up, and shadowmeld/use any other "leaving combat" spells. They will reset. - Also if you run out of the instance, with one alive.

I do this with one Big guy alive.

I have been working on my Donneraan der Windsucher and was trying to "farm" the Elementiumblock.
During the first pulls I received a Elementiumblock every time...more or less.
After maybe 16-20 pulls without any interesting loot, I started to wonder if there was a maximum limit of drops for each instance ID or something like that, just to prevent farming them.
Anyways, I have now pulled around 40 pulls (spare the non-technicians in the group and the tech's will respawn as people say), and only received 6 ingots. Somethings is either changed since MoP or since last post, cause this farming technique is not working.
I am going to try a soft reset and edit my post.

Update after soft reset:
All technicians that were previously killed (even once) will be gone after a soft reset.
No technicians will drop the Elementiumblock after soft reset.

Kommentar von 1120960

Updated after 5.3 patch.

It now seems like there is a maximum amount of Elementiumblock that can drop on each raid timer.
I killed around 20 groups today, only got 3 Elementiumblock on the first 3 pulls, then nothing.

Also, they removed the annoying Wütende Teufelswache that spawned every now and then after killing part of a group.

Kommentar von Gneisenau

They are in the room after the Halls of Strife. This is the room with all of the Suppression Traps.

The traps are extremely annoying. The range on them is about 10 yards so even when you think you are nowhere near one they still hit you. Just right click on them to get them to fall. The boss at the end is Broodlord Lashlayer.

The 8% drop rate kinda sucks. I killed all of the Technicians and only got two Elementium Ingots. Guess I'm going to be farming this place for a couple of weeks now. (need 6 for the Qiraji quests)

Kommentar von InsaneHacker

My work is paramount, leave me alone!

Kommentar von NuclearChicken

So how did these guys end up here?
Working on a contract or enslaved by nefarian?

Kommentar von lunamoonraker

Worth bearing in mind that even now, if you pull a load of them in the room to one spot, they can kill a level 50+ character cloth wearer almost instantly via their bombs.

Bombe was doing around 710-712 Fire damage each, so 20+ of them killed my Lvl52 Mage with 13.8K health.

That and the Zauberbinder der Pechschwingen you have to stab to death with your dagger or cudgel to death with your staff being immune to magic damage...

Still some surprises left in the old world yet.
