These mobs mainly throw nature damage at you in the form of a bolt, a shield similar to a shaman's sheild and a storm cloud.
As a result they are immune to nature damage.
So as a shaman my shield and nature spells are worthless.
They do take normal damage from frost and fire spells though.

When they throw their storm cloud down just move away from it and it will not affect you.

Very good farming mob, they are spread out so no worries invloving aggro. They don't drop any coin and often you will get absolutly nothing. But you will make some decent gold off of the items that do drop.

Good mobs too farm onthey drop essence of witch sell alot on AH but somtimes these guys are over farmed

Note that WoWHead doesn't know how to record a drop of "nothing". I would say about 50% of the drops of these mobs are nothing, meaning that their chance to drop Essence of Air is significantly lower than that listed.

I agree, did 2 rounds around the place when farming for breath of winds, and walked out with 18 essences and only 2 breath of winds, kinda annoying to see green items drop that much against common ones :S

Kills of these will reward 1 Hydraxian Waterlord reputation at level 70 (5 rep if they are not grey to you.)

They also have a Lightning Shield which does around 110 damage (3 charges, 50% chance) which can be Spellstolen by a mage (though they're immune to it)

About 45 minutes of farming got me:

4 breath of wind
29 essence of air
5 elemental air
6 essence of earth
3 core of earth

and about 55 core of elements. Useless as they are.

This was done by my 66 sub rogue, one shot most of the mobs.

In two hours of farming these guys on my 70 paladin today, I received:

68 Core of Elements
37 Essence of Air
11 Breath of Wind
6 Elemental Air
2 Green Armors
1 Aquamarine
1 Thorium Lockbox.

Since I was farming for Elemental airs, this wasn't great, but better than anywhere else I've found. Stupid Mechanical Yeti....

Hope this helps someone!

drop rates on wowhead are not quite accurate
I got:
10 breath of wind
15 essence of air
24 elemental air

Comentado por Ozrek

Essence of air is dropping off these pretty regularly. I've killed about 30 so far and I've gotten 4. If you farming them off world mobs, these guys are where to get it. They also give 5 rep with the Hydraxian Waterlords AND drop Inert Elemental Shard (gray item) which vendors for 6 gold a stack. Not a bad way to spend some time farming off mobs!

Comentado por Blaix

i farmed for less than 30 minutes, probably killed eightyish, and got 6. as soon as i said anything good about it i stopped getting them, lol.

Comentado por BBB545

Went to farm these in the northeast corner of Silithus for essence of air to make 15 agi enchant,
I killed 114 the items that drop were the following:

9 essence of air

6 breath of air

8 elemental air

(not sure but the drop rate on northeast-side of the mountain 37,17 seems higher then the drop rate on southwest-side of the mountain 29,26)

Comentado por Mekelan

200 kills yielded:

12 Breath of Wind (6%)
18 Elemental Air (9%)
9 Essence of Air (4,5%)

which almost exactly matches the droprates listed here. So nothing to see here, I guess :)

Here's a summary of my farming experience:

The aim was to get 20 Essence of Air in order to do 4x 1hand agility and 1x 2hand agility weapon enchants for 2 rogues and a feral druid.

I farmed for approximately 56 minutes with a maximum of 15 minutes (being very generous) down-time through flying around the mountain in the middle of the area searching for mobs and, accordingly to my chat-log, my loot intervals were 7 seconds on average.

(56 minutes farming - 15 minutes downtime) ÷ 1 loot per 7 seconds = ~352 mobs destroyed

I looted:

20x Essence of Air
170x Inert Elemental Shards
22x Breath of Winds
27x Elemental Air
3x Green Items
66x Inert Elemental Pieces
7x Grey items

What helped:

Being a high level (one-shot mobs)
310% flying speed + Crusader Aura
I was the only one farming them
Perhaps a bit of luck?

Good luck in your farming :)

these seem to have had there essence of air drop rate significantly reduced post cata. just cleared both sides of mountain and only got 2.

pre cata i remember farming these guys and coming out with about 40 in a 30 mins worth of work

After 10 minutes of 1 shotting Dust Stormers I ended up with only 1 essence of air (a rate of only 6/hour).
Here is short list of all the loot that dropped that was not junk.
1 Essence of Air
5 Elemental Air
6 Breath of Wind

Comentado por 822250

After 10 minutes of 1 shotting Dust Stormers I ended up with only 1 essence of air (a rate of only 6/hour).

With a longer experiment, I had nearly identical results on the number of Essence of Air dropped per hour.

Today 6-8am, nearly two hours of killing these guys rapidly. There are two areas, on either side of the area with the rock elementals. To the east seemed to be where I found most of the essence of air (at least two thirds).

There was a post two weeks ago outlining what someone else received farming these. My results were much worse I would say, and it seems true that the drop rate has decreased, perhaps since 4.1 went live.

However, two of my guildies went earlier (separately) and report obtaining ~6 essence of air each in 10-20 minutes of farming, which is why I went.

My results:
11 Essence of Air (worth 300-400g each on my realm)
48 Elemental Air (worthless)
20 Breath of Wind (worthless)
173 Inert Elemental Shard (worthless)
71 Inert Elemental Piece (worthless)
10g worth of vendorable grey armor/weapons
3 greens that DE'd to 11 Dream Dust (worthless)
Recipe: Greater Stoneshielf Potion (worth 100-200g on my realm for some reason) (lazy over-achievers and completists?) (this was a pleasant surprise)

3.5k-4.5k gold value for 2 hours and I estimate that I killed 400-500 Dust Stormers. That's a 2-3% drop rate for the Essence of Air.

I think I'll just buy Essence of Air on ah from now on when I need it, or from luckier farmers than myself. This may still be a worthwhile farming spot to some people. The Essence of Air prices continue to increase, probably because of the lower drop rate and continued demand for them.

I've read elsewhere that the periodic Elemental Invasion which increased the number of elementals in Silithis and therefore coincidentally increased the number of Essence of Airs on the market has had a similar reduction in drop-rate. HTH

Comentado por siggboy

I can not confirm the bad drop rates for Essence of Air that are reported above for patch 4.1.

Just yesterday I have farmed the Dust Stormers for a while, and the drop rates I got were not much different from those before 4.1 went live.

Of course my results are just as anecdotal (I might have been very luck were others were unlucky), but I think it's rather safe to assume that nothing has been changed with patch 4.1 regarding the drop rate of Essence of Air.

Happy Farming!

Comentado por Angxia

In less that 45mins i killed 169 of these and the end result was 6 essence of airs. So not too low drop rate or then again i might have been lucky.

Comentado por 784981

I farmed exactly 100 dust stormers, going back and forth from the two areas. This is what I got:

2 Essence of Air
8 Elemental Air
7 Breath of Wind

Remainder was Inert trash and two grey items.

The two Essence of Air were from the NorthEastern area, but the other two were pretty evenly distributed between the two areas. This turns out to be a 2% drop for the Essence, 8% for the Elemental Air and 7% for the Breath of Wind. A little low for the Essence compared to others results, but I'm sure the results vary from time to time. Still a low drop rate.

This was on Queldorai server with a lvl 61 hunter.

Comentado por 807930

I farmed these for 20 mins late one evening & got 9 Essence of airs as well as 10+ breath of wind & 10+ elemental airs. I sent a guildie here to farm for me 2 weeks ago, also late-ish in the evening (we did a deal 'cos she needed some cash) thinking it would be an hour or two of work for her, she was back with 8 in under 30 mins! I did another late evening run 2 days ago & got 8 essences of air in the first 12 mins.

This morning (Sunday am), I've been at it for 30 mins, killed 140 of the things & only got 3 Essences, 4 breaths & 2 elemental airs. Is it evenly remotely possible there is a time of day element to the drop ratemaybe? Anyone fancy testing the theory? lol

Comentado por Kyrma

I farmed these guys for the Breath of Wind to level up Leatherworking. Either I was fairly lucky or the drop rates have changed because before Cataclysm I was out here for Essence of Air it took a couple of hours just to farm up 8. However this time after roughly 30 minutes, killing all 45 in the circuit 4x's (180 kills) this is what I ended up with:

* 12 ~ Essence of Air
* 16 ~ Breath of Wind
* 21 ~ Elemental Air

Plus 34g from the junk elemental shards and pieces that drop off these mobs.

Also I was on my mining character and ended up with 106 Thorium Ore, 6 Truesilver Ore, 3 Arcane Crystals, 2 Star Rubys, 2 Huge Emerald and 1 Large Opal. All sell well on my server. :)

Comentado por Curycoo

I'm 2 enemies into farming these for the Airs, and i have to say, wow. I got 2 Essences of air in 2 drops. TY RNG! :D

Comentado por Banishment

Farmed these for an hour. Happy with the results.

Within an hour I got:
17 Essence of Air (270g ea)
26 Elemental Air (5g ea)
17 Breath of Wind (15g ea)
Total: 4,975g

Although I'm turning those essences into enchants for even more gold. If your auction house prices are similar and you don't mind killing the same mob over and over for an hour, I'd highly recommend this. Unless of course you have better ways of making money. 5k an hour sounds really good to me though.

I also killed Twilight mobs while waiting for the stormers to respond and got 40 texts to turn in. (I saw the prophet spawn twice in the same hour.) 5 stacks of runecloth. I disenchanted any greens too.

While farming these, and using Roubar Feitiço to pull them, I noticed the stolen Escudo de Raios was one- and two-shotting them (even though the tooltip only said 112 damage, which I've ticketed as a bug). This saved a step, but it meant I sometimes had to run or blink over to loot them.

Comentado por 948532

Was farming these elementals for about 45 mins and got the next items :

100 x Estilhaço Elemental Inerte ( 6G/stack )
37 x Pedaço Elemental Inerte ( 1G/stack )
22 x Ar Elemental
12 x Sopro Eólico
8 x Essência do Ar
1 x Espada Hanzo

When looting the Dust Stormer it drops 1 Estilhaço Elemental Inerte or Pedaço Elemental Inerte or Ar Elemental or Sopro Eólico or Essência do Ar. It doesn't drop more then one elemental item. It is possible though that it can drop a weapon/armor and an elemental item.

If you start to the right of "The crystal vale" and killed all elementals, go to the elementals beneath it. When you have killed all emementals there go back to the place you have started, they respawn pretty quick.

Hope this helps.

While farming 6 Breath of Wind for Phantom Blade I recieved

Total Kills: 152
89x Inert Elemental Fragment (58.5% drop)
36x Inert Elemental Piece (23.6% drop)
13x Elemental Air (8.5% drop)
8x Essence of Air (5.2% drop)
6x Breath of Wind (3.9% drop)

All in all its a nice little grind, theres more than enough mob spawns to continuously kill them until you have what you need, and you can easily sell the Airs/Winds that you dont need for quite a bit on the AH

Comentado por gen3ric

These guys are now extremely annoying.

1200 kills.

3 essence of air
61 elemental air
70 breath of air
huge stupid piles of inert elemental shard and inert elemental piece

Pretty much every single kill drops one of the grays. Fairly quick spawn rate and don't need to wait too long for respawns but the drop rate for essences is dismal.

Comentado por wcjokertwo

If you are like me, you had the same thing in mind. Monks. Must get agility enchant. But to dang expensive. Do NOT be dismayed by the drop chance. It took me 30 mins (with a bio break in between) and about 127 kills (based on other drops) to get 8 essences. Just kill one side of the rock, go to the other and come back; It is a VERY fast respawn timer. Have fun farming :).

I also farmed this mobs for that 15+ agility enchant for my 2x loom maces, so I required 8x essence of airs. After 178 dust stormer kills I got all my 8 essences, also got 110x Estilhaço Elemental Inerte, 38x Pedaço Elemental Inerte, 13x Ar Elemental and 2 blue BoE's. Took about 20-30 mins.

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

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

11 x Água Elemental
7 x Essência da Água

8 x Ar Elemental

Figured I add my drop rates. Was after 3 breaths of wind. I killed 42 mobs so not a terribly high sample size. Still...

Breath of Wind: 3/42 = 7%
Elemental Air: 7/42 = 16.67%
Essence of Air: 4/42 = 9.5%

This NPC and the Estrondor do Deserto are not in the upper left corner of Silithus as it has changed due to the new expansion content. Nor the one in the upper right.

I came out here after the 8.0 prepatch. Not sure if this will change at some point, but no luck now :(
I hope Blizz takes a bit of care when removing NPC's that provide rep for some of the more background and less known factions. Otherwise how will we obtain the 100 Exalted Reputations achievement. I was looking to farm or Senhores das Águas Hidraxianos.

Comentado por foothillsco

Aha!

You first must see the NPC and change the zone back to it's original state. THEN, there are a ton of this twisting air things everywhere. You can pull 3 at a time, and now they are level 60 and can one shot them. Further, kill every humanoid in site for runecloth and drops.

I got my 8 in 15 minutes.

Comentado por KiraOHara

Went farming these guys for Essência do Ar. Once again reiterating that drop rate is not what is reflected on the percentages. I lost track of how many I actually killed or how many times I had to hop back and forth between the sides of the big rock, but I will say that after clearing one side the other had completely respawned so there was no downtime. I stopped when I reached the 10 Essência do Ar I needed for a craft, probably around 2 hours of farming. The mobs always dropped one of something, but not always something useful.

Items Received:
10 x Essência do Ar
37 x Ar Elemental
21 x Sopro Eólico
199 x Cristais Trincados
53 x Cacos Cintilantes
8 x misc. grey gear
12 x misc. green gear
1 x blue gear
1 x purple gear

Plus there were a bunch of nodes of Folha-de-sonho, Sonsona-dourada, Sálvia-prata-da-montanha, Minério de Tório, and Minério de Veraprata all through the farming area. Made 70g18s35c in total from vendoring the grey items, probably will make a bit more for the greens. Not a terrible haul, but definitely time-consuming!

These *cannot* be farmed for Elemental Air/Breath of Wind/Essence of Air while in Chromie Time.

I figured I'd farm up some Breath of Wind on an alt to craft some Phantom Blades and get some exp, so headed down to Silithus. Spent about 15 minutes killing them and only got 1 Elemental Air, with the vast majority of Dust Stormers not dropping any loot at all. Looked at other comments here and realized I had a totally different loot table for any of the vendor trash I was getting, too.

Left Chromie time and came back down and I'm now getting a very similar drop rate to the others here.
