OK so I decided to have all three pieces of the Stormshroud set made . Only 8 air essences and 8 water essences , after checking prices on AH , around 18g per air essence I decide to venture to Silithus and farm these babies , can't be to bad , can it ? OMG I had decided I would farm the essences until finished , a mistake ? well yes , but oh boy am I glad that is over and done with . Day 1 after somewhere in the region of 2-3 hours 5 water essences where tucked up safe in my pouch , I then decide to do a few air essence , a few , hehe .
I started off with 0 rep with the Hydraxian waterlords , 8 solid hours later I decide to stop , my eyes are feeling somewhat grainy , with a grand total of 2 air essence . Next day again in the region of around 8 hours could be slightly longer , my eyes are bleeding so I decide enough is enough 2 Air essence , well actually it was 3 counting that rare elite "Huricanian" he was nice enough to drop one :) . Day 3 went much the same has the last 2 days , a few stops in between stocking up on food for my pet and buying ammo , also the odd racing to get to each elemental before the competitors , well it did bring some excitement to this horribly dull task . Again something in the region of around 8 hours pass , my eyes have fallen out one by one and bouncing merrily down the stairs , but I own . yes you guessed it , 2 air essence , woot 7 air essence altogether . I'm afraid day 4 came and went without much hoohaa on the air essence front , I decided enough is enough , all enjoyment of the game had died somewhat , so with a little frustration , I bought the last one making some soul 18 gold the richer . The 3 remaining water essence were found in pretty short order and I had my stormshroud set made , boy I never want another set .
Oh and the Hydraxian waterlords , well , more than halfway through friendly at 5 rep per kill is not too bad , thats quite a few hundred elementals killed :)
My purpose of this post was to make you wait , yes hang on if you can "sniff" I hear the next patch that the rate of air essence drops is being upped , aaargh , my eyes , my eyes .
