There is a new model changed in patch 2.1.0 and the NPC is now neutral.

See screenshot.

Kommentar von Dooch

As of 9/9/07 this creature is NOT tameable.

interestingly enough, i believe these mobs react to warlock's drain mana spell by doing a drain mana of their own. i've only seen them do it to me after i've drained their mana at least once. tricky bastards =p

Kommentar von Rarehunter

Farming these mobs for Motes of Mana isn't exactly the greatest idea >.< because half the people there are there for the Dailies, and unfortunately, Wrangle More Aether Rays requires LIVE Aether Rays... Although I just noticed that they don't all spawn in the Ogri'la area, so I expect my argument is half-right.

They're pretty weak, so if you do too much leet dps or put a dot on it when its at low health, it'll probably die before you finish wrangling.

Kommentar von Somhlth

You receive the message "The Aether Ray appears ready to be wrangled." at 30% health. It's then time to use the Wrangling Rope on them for the Daily quest Wrangle More Aether Rays!

I met one between The Crystal Spine and Bash'ir Landing, and it was yellow (hostile) :S

Kommentar von SpectraKitty

they don't come with mana drain

One of the best places to farm Knothide Leather. :-)

Kommentar von Arnen

This is the only nether ray in the game with this coloration, and unfortunately it's untamable.

Edit: Now tamable on the 4.0 PTR!

Since the patch, 4.0.6, I have noticed the Aether Ray that are flying (not the ones on the ground) are just floating along their path idle. Even if you aggro them they move stiff to you till they touch the ground.

Kommentar von TheHandOfSeth

Anyone else find it odd that there are Aether Rays in The Crystal Spine as well, but all the pins on the map show them only around Ogri'la. The only possible explanation is that no one equipped with the Wowhead client ever killed one in The Crystal Spine, but what are the odds...

I suppose that they could have added their spawns to The Crystal Spine only very recently, but when is the last time Blizzard actually changed Burning Crusade content?

Kommentar von Ozrek

Just a note here for skinners: Out of the 10 or so I've killed, they have all only skinned one Knothide Leather. They no longer appear to drop several.

Update: Yep, after killing 30, they all just drop one. Though they are the best in the zone for doing it as far as I can tell. The hellboars in the area will drop scraps, and fel material but hardly ever a full knothide.

Update 2: Ok, these are bad for numerous reasons. Theres a lot of high level (71) enemies around. The best NPC I've found are Talbukdornzehrer. They are neutral, and also in an easily accessible location. They aren't high level and are a very quick kill. Hope this helps!

Kommentar von Squirrely

Just cleared the plateau several times and it appears that they do not drop mote of mana at all :(

Kommentar von asloversgo

They can be found both near the ground and flying up in the sky. Aether ray, they're easy to kill.

Kommentar von SpectraKitty

OMG! Those BEASTS are UGLY!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Are they Tameable?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Best mobs to farm for primal mana. Highest drop rate in the game outside of karazhan.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Great for Primal mana farming. Got 6 in 1hr 15min. Compared to the alternatives, this is great. Although you might piss some people off by killing their quest mobs...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Do you need a flying mount to get to this area?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've found these aren't very practical for farming, mainly because A) there are so many other mobs around them and 2) they fly around in the air

I've only been to the north area so far though, but I'd imagine the west area isn't any different.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not bad to Farm. So what if they fly by this point I hope you have some sort of distance weapon (joke). Anyway to answer the guy earlier yes you do need a flying mount.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is a technique to this. Find open ground that is partolled by the pigs and kill one. Stay away form the crystals or the Apexis Flayers will piss on your shoes. Own the open ground and wait for the Rays to come past. You need to be a caster or have a wand to bring them to you. Dont go running around or you will aggro everything. These mobs have an aggro radius the size of a football field.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Further to my above posting. You can farm them and they DO have a high drop rate. However - because of the problems surrounding getting to them you are likely to get a higher return in terms of motes per hour farming mana wraiths on Netherstarm

Kommentar von Thottbot

wheres the quest for them then?
to kill the Rays?
It'd be nice make some gold from it as well as motes and junk;DD
Replyy with answerss plzz

Kommentar von Thottbot

the quest isn't to kill....it is to rope them....you can get the quest once you have become honoured with the sky gaurd
and the drop is really good....5 primal mana in just over an hour

Kommentar von Thottbot

what the crap, bliz! why aren't these things tamable! they're the best looking, and to my knowledge they're not casters, unlike most other nether rays... plus they look amazing... yargh, bliz, yargh.

Kommentar von Thottbot

After farming here and in Netherstorm, youre better off farming them in Netherstorm. Even with the higher drop rate.
Whats a high drop rate good for if you can never get them.
High traffic zone or farmers for other quests.

Kommentar von Thottbot

30,64 :) ALOT come by there

Kommentar von Thottbot

farm early in the morning like me, well this morning was the first time i started to farm motes cuase im goin after 2 felsteel long blades well i was having no luck but after about 20 kills they started to drop 2-4 at a time the rays are a good palce to farm mana motes if u are up early like me =D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I think you guys are going about this wrong, here's the correct way to farm these.

Step one: Fly around till you see one, than get kinda close to it and dismoont, while your falling pull it, throw damage on it and any adds. Than while your pet kills it and ads try to pull another one and kill that one and any ads also.

Step Two: If there are no more of them in the area, laugh at the huge pile of dead monsters and pick up your loot

Step Three: Go to step one, and thank god you're a lock, haha

Kommentar von Thottbot

after receiving 3 motes of mana after about 30 min, i decided that this wasn't the place for me to farm them. it wasn't very hard for me to pick out the aether rays from the group and kill them, but it did take a while scouting around for them on my flying mount (there are far fewer aether rays than other mobs, and the aether rays roam).

one good thing was that these aether rays are skinnable, and each one dropped a knothide leather when skinned. =)

btw i was farming just south of ogri'la (blades edge mountains) bout 30,64

i'll try somewhere else.

Kommentar von Thottbot

OMG this is the worst spot ever for me.i cleaned the whole area and got only 3 motes.

Kommentar von Thottbot

A little FYI, Rivendark, a 72 elite circles over this zone and will shoot you off your mount. I found out the hard way.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Crimson Textcan they be tamed?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

anyone tried farming these for mana motes? are they in an area that is easy to get to? (lvl 68lock at time of post)
