You can grind these while grinding Aldor rep in the Oshu'gun Cave. I tend to end up with a twice as many powders from here than any other spot and you get Marks of Kil'jaeden and motes of shadow.

Sorry to be a bit slow, but by Oshu'gun Cave do you mean the diamond in the southwest part of Nagrand?

Comentario de 13725

The best place I found to farm these is sunspring post. The scavangers have very low hit points for the silver they drop and drop powder samples nearly as often as the harder mobs. They're also much more concentrated and easier to kill than the demons in osh'gun.

It takes approx 1 hour to get 20 Oshu'gun crystals by grinding in Burning Blade Clan Ruins.
On top of that you get approx 1200 Kurani rep (or "Magmar") and 50 warbeads which can be used for either more Kurani (or Magmar) or Consortium rep.

Comentario de Shorty

You really don't need to activley farm for these in my opinion.

Simply doing the nonelite "mastery" quests- and very little else- gave me the requisite 4 research tokens for the Steady Talasite plans on my alt. Doing everything would give me enough for the pants, belt, and possibly the bag.

Of course, I'm assuming you're not going for the mount. If you ARE... then, uh, nevermind.

Ok, maybe someone else can confirm this too since right now its speculation.

So, I noticed it when I was leveling in this area but didnt put it together until today after deciding I'd grind for my War Tulbuk.

Basically, yesterday I was grinding a little and these were dropping at a good pace. Then today I go to grind more and I don't even think I got more then 10 in an hour. The thing I noticed was yesterday the opposite faction then my own (Alliance) had Halaa. Then today while grinding we (Horde) had Halaa. We'll while I was grinding a raid formed and Alliance finally got Halaa back. So, I started grinding again a hour later and guess what, I get like 10 powder in 5 mins.

Conclusion, if the opposite faction then your own has Halaa its time to grind.

Edit: BTW this is at Sunspring Post

I think the idea of the powder dropping more when the other faction has control of Halaa is a bit of superstition. I was farming my last 40 powder (2 tokens) for the Dark War Talbuk while a battle was raging at Halaa, which resulted in it swapping from the Horde to the Alliance. I didn't notice any change in the rate at which they were dropping.

To be honest, grinding these would be hell for a healer. I started doing it on my pally (my main, and who I was getting the mount for) and realised I would be there for a year. So I hopped on my hunter (separate account), dual boxed with my pally just on follow and lightly healing if needed, and only using him to loot if a powder dropped. Using the hunter instead of the pally made things much easier, so if you're a healer, I recommend commissioning a dps friend to help you out. ^^

Also, if you're a skinner, I highly recommend farming them on the Talbuks around Skysong Lake (the lake to the north of Garadar). In the time it took me to get 40 powder, I ended up getting roughly 10 stacks of Knothide Leather and 10 stacks of Knothide Leather Scraps - that is, I also stand to make a decent profit from this endeavour. =)

And finally, after you've gotten your research tokens... if Halaa is predominantly controlled by the other faction on your server, just wait for the weekly reset/downtime. When the servers come back up Halaa is neutral with no guards, so unless the other faction has the same idea, you can claim it fairly easily. ^^

If you need Mag'har reputation in addition to Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples, killing either the ogres (at any location), the Murkblood at Sunspring Post, or the demons in the Oshu'gun crystal is a good idea. Killing the ogres is by far the best way to accomplish gaining Mag'har reputation and powder, though, because the ogres can drop Warbeads, which of course can be turned in for either Consortium or Mag'har reputation.

If you do not need Mag'har reputation, however, I advise focusing on something entirely different: the Voidspawn around the Oshu'gun crystal. Many of the things are present. They are spaced out a bit from each other sometimes, so having an epic flying mount is a major benefit to quick kills. They are very easy to kill and do very little damage. They also seem to drop Crystal Powder at a high rate and, even better, they drop Motes of Shadow frequently. An hour of concentrated killing of the Voidspawn can net around 50-60 powders and several Primal Shadows.

Comentario de Allakhazam

every single mob in the zone drops it

Comentario de Allakhazam

Ogres in Burning Blade Ruins and Mts will drop them- maybe 5%

Comentario de Allakhazam

If you look at this actual page, above, where it says Drop Information and Top 3 by Drop Percentage, it will tell you. Agitated Orc Spirits seem to have the higher drop rates, if I read correctly. o_0

Comentario de Allakhazam

anyone know of a mob that drops this powder fairly often?

Comentario de Thottbot

well i farmed ogres for about 2 hours and got 6 dust samples. being a rogue that was about 120-150 kills. this wasnt working so i decided to go kill people over by oshu'gun mountain. do it. i got my last 14 samples i needed in under 45 minutes. drop seems highest off the vir'ani raider guys. give it a try.

Comentario de Thottbot

if you look at the droprates, the boulderfist hunters clearly shine! 13 instead of 8% and there have been enopugh kills to confirm this. I myself farm the samples very much faster there then anywhere else.
the downside is that there are only enough mobs for one man to farm.

Comentario de Thottbot

the tortured elementals dropped this the most for me..

just about 1 every 2 or 3 kills.

Comentario de Thottbot

For me, the best place to farm these is Sunspring Post, for several reasons:

Mobs are readily available, even with several people farming in the area there will be enough mobs to kill. Putrifiers are casters and are relatively easy to kill. The Scavengers have roughly 1000 HP each, and are always found in groups of three, if you have AoE these will be super easy kills, and each have a chance of dropping crystal samples. Also there's a little plaza with a bonfire with about 8 scavengers, again, easy kills.

I tried the hunters, but there's very few of them, and most of the time, there's other people farming them. Not worth the time.

Comentario de Thottbot

I was going to post that the same thing about Sunspring Post as being the best place. Been grinding there for the past couple of days and as a hunter, I can multishot and normally kill one of the scavengers with one of the hits and explosion trap the other two. Very quick, fast respawns and each mob drops between 3 to 18s per kill so it's very quick money too. I've found several greens there (LV 63 to 65ish) that sell for about 2g min. Awesome spot but it sucks when others are there trying to quest. I hate having to kill people so they stop killing the mobs (and it has worked several times haha)

Comentario de Thottbot

You turn the powder samples for stuffs you get in halaa you need more battle token. You get the battle token when you kill opponents in halaa.

Comentario de Thottbot

If only i had known about this place earlier. I wanted a halaa talbuk asap, but just couldnt get enough powders (farmed for weeks >_<). Went to sunspring and got the last 60 in 2 days (as a holy priest). So farming there is the way to go =P

Comentario de Thottbot

I prefer Sunspring post, easy mobs and alot of netherweave/money/powder

Zedfire, 70 Rogue - Turalyon

Comentario de Thottbot

I like the lake spirits, not very good droprate, but they drop grey stackable items that sell for 10s each ( around 70-90% `) and they have a nice rate for mote of water, a primal sells for 20g.

Comentario de Thottbot

Thottbot may be screwed up. This is not a lie - for some reason the Powder Samples seem to drop off a lot more at Oshu'Gun. The Raiders and Arcanists.

Comentario de Thottbot

I spent two days farming sunspring and got 50 samples- and while that was good and well, I went to the surrounding crystals at oshu'gun and farmed and was getting samples to drop every 3 mobs. Plus I had lots of greens drop for me, a blue also dropped from these guys, lots of netherweave, fragments, and their spawn rate was awesome. IMPO, farm near oshu'gun with raiders or arcanists and you'll get more samples.

Comentario de Thottbot

I did all the Nagrand quests and ended up w/ 5 Halaa Research tokens total, or 100 samples. I'm prob gonna grind on ogres for the remaining 15 samples so that I can get beads for Consortium Rep as well.

Comentario de Thottbot

If you're horde, kill the lake spirits outside garadar, they die quickly, especially as a hunter since they're caster types and I can train my pet 140 frost resistance... and best of all they drop motes of water which are selling for 20g per primal on my server.

Comentario de Thottbot

I wanted to get my mount too, so I searched various places and out of all of them I'm the most pleased with the Kil'sorrow Fortress in the southeast corner of the map. I wouldn't suggest farming this area unless you are 70 or have a friend helping you. You'll end up fighting them usually in groups of 2 or 3, but if you have decent gear, and are 70, it's not too bad. I did it using my 70 warrior.
The place is huge and they respawn fast, so even if you're not the only one there, you can just go to another area of the fortress and farm. They drop a pretty good amount of powders, and if you're Aldor, it's makes it even better because they drop Marks of Kil'jaeden frequently. Also, they give 10 Kurenai rep per mob, so I assume they give Mag'har rep as well.

In short, they give rep, netherweave, greens, powders, Marks of Kil'jaeden, around 15s each, and various vendor trash.

Also, if you farm them long enough you will get Fel Armaments too. I even found a 3 of Lunacy card the other day.

Comentario de Thottbot

I thin something has been nerfed.

the scavenegers, the guys you can one hit..

have been dropping less silver.

and no powders... i've been here for an hour.
maybe its me, but it looks like its been nerfed.

Comentario de Thottbot

maybe they nerfed the dropp rate, but a scav just dropped a powder sample for me

Comentario de Thottbot

if you want just to farm the powder is fastest way i would say the raiders and archs in spirit fields area. if you want other drops while ur farmign then get elementals of ogres

Comentario de Thottbot

Sunspring is no longer the place to go IMO..they must have changed the drop rate cus I killed about 40 guys here and no drops..good for Netherweave though

Comentario de Thottbot

I agree, somewhere around 2.2 they changed Sunspring post.

This was probably done because it was almost too good. They gave you 4 things:
Silver
Netherweave
Kurenai Rep
Crystal frags
and the standard Greens.

There is a noticable difference in crystal drop rate now as opposed to a month or 2 ago.

Comentario de Thottbot

ah getting these things piss me off so much wish they dropped easier...

Comentario de Thottbot

70-71
Deathshadow Acolyte
1551 19.3% Nagrand
70-71
Deathshadow Warlock
1225 17.1% Nagrand
70-71
Deathshadow Spellbinder
1982 10.5% Nagrand

Nuff said.

Comentario de Thottbot

I think the 2.3 patch brought a nerf. I used to kill ogres for the 3 in 1 (Cocaine, Beads, Kurenai) and since the patch I've killed enough ogre's to get 240 beads and not one single powder.

I still need the beads for Consortium so I'm still killing ogres but was gonna be nice to get a free 18 slot bag out of the deal as well but not now. :(

Edit: Boulderfist Hunters still drop them, but another day of farming beads from warriors and mages and no dust.

On my priest I decided to see if they increased the drop rate from the raiders and such around oshu'gun and it didn't seem so but the Kil'sorrow Ritualists and Terrorgaurds inside oshu'gun had a pretty decent drop rate I'd say 8-10%

Cont: Got my bag on my priest after only a day of farming powder inside Oshu'gun (only needed another 60) and now on my warrior going on 2 days and she can't get a drop from anything anywhere in nagrand.

I have a theory. The mobs are sniffing the stuff, and when I beat them upside their head with my Thunder it knocks the crack clean out of their heads. Spell Damage must be more of a torso or brain attack leaving the nostils intact for gathering this "powder sample" stuff.

The answer to my problems. I'm simply an idiot, Unique 100 (helps not to keep 100 in your bank)

Comentario de Thottbot

I have been doing mag'har rep and i have gotton no samples yet. How do you get this quest. I have been to Halaa but the woman has a blue ? and when I click on her I see that I am unable to accept the quest ?

Comentario de Thottbot

I just gathered about 40 Samples at SUNSPRING POST.

Yeah right, seems like the mobs around there are dropping it again.

Even the ones with just 1k HP dropped it pretty regularly, although at a lower rate than the usual mobs I think.

By the way, took me like 1.5 hours to get ~40 Samples.

Good luck!

Comentario de Thottbot

Here's a little note that I don't see anyone else has mentioned. It appears that you can only stack up or store 100 samples. Whether it be in your bags or in the bank, once you hit 100 samples, it does -not- seem to drop at all anymore. Once you cash in your samples (or destroy for some silly reason), you will start seeing them drop again.

I could be wrong, but this is something I've noticed in the past week. Hope this helps.

Comentario de Thottbot

Been slaughtering Warmaul Hill's ogres for ages last night for rep, beads and Quests, got about 15-16 or so in ~80kills. So its not bad if you can be arsed to keep doing it. 14-15 beads too. Not too bad. At least Mag'har rep is "easier" to earn, Cenarion/thrallmar is stupidly hard as no one mentioned/read up on it until all the Qs had been done already and Cenarion turnins denied (so much for the 40 more plants I had to turn in).

Comentario de Thottbot

I've farmed ogres till i'm blue in the face, been to Sunspring and not had much luck there either.

Then a thought occurred to me, 'might there be a better drop rate of Oshu'gun Crystal Powder next to the Oshu'gun crystal itself?' Lo and behold this seems to be the case. I guess there is some kind of logic in the game after all.

From what I've found, with the ogres the drop rate is roughly 1 in 10-15, at Sunspring it seems even worse, but at the crystal it appeared to be 1 in 5 or better. Hopefully this is of some help and it doesn't change in the next week making this post completely pointless. Happy farming :)

Comentario de Thottbot

I got on my freinds account just 2 screw around and lvl him but when i went to the lake right below the throne of elements i got a crap load of crystal powder samples from the water elementals. head there hella worth it!

Comentario de Thottbot

I just farmed up a Dark War Talbuk over 2 days of non stop grinding so I thought I'd give some info on how it went.

To start I had 100 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder in my bank from farming Clefthoof Bulls. 5 tokens down.

I basically focused on the Sunspring Post area and bear swiped through a 2000 or more mobs.

Heres my stats

level mob kills powder % drop
64# scavenger 1064 83 8
66# raider 302 42 14
67# raider 310 28 10
65# putrifier 157 17 11
66# putrifier 160 19 12
67# brute 157 24 16

65* clefthoof bull 1220 50 5
66* clefthoof bull 1245 43 4

=306 powder from 400 needed for mount

#should be accurate. all killed in 2 days on patch 2.4.2
*not accurate as I farmed many of these with 100 powder in the bank so their drop rate is surely higher. many kills pre 2.4.2

The rest of the powder is accounted for by random kills for quests etc on all other mobs.
