Как обычно, данные о дропрейте неточны. Я обежал всю локацию трижды, убил порядка 20шт. Освобожденный циклон, но Волшебная пыль мне выпала только 1 раз с самого первого убитого мной моба. Хорошо, что в этой локации можно попутно фармить Медная руда, Оловянная руда, немножко Серебряная руда, Масляный черноротик, а так же Небольшое яйцо (во время новогоднего ивента оно в цене), иначе бы совсем грустно было.

I found the largest concentration (for me at least), was between the points of 42,57 and 34,67. I found 4, got the debris on the second kill. They are VERY spread out however. You won't run into a patch of them, so don't expect it. Good note above to be on the lookout, and check out every red name you see, even on the other side of hills.

map for farming magic dust

A fel reaver in disguise. They always hunt my low lvls...

Got it on my first kill from a devil near Saldean's Farm with my 24 hunter. Sometimes you just get lucky.

This map is great, I visited each of them today and found a Devil at every one of them!

It's often near copper veins.

The droprate for Magic Dust shows to be 45% - you can kill 10 mobs easily, and not receive one. Why? Well, these mobs often yield NO LOOT AT ALL, which is not actually counted as a kill to wowhead.

So if you kill 5, 4 of them don't drop anything and the fifth one has 1x Magic Dust, the droprate will be shown as 100%.

The droprate IS accurate.

They should be marked as rare.

Obvious reference to a real-life phenomenon (actually a tornado), and is observed even on the planet Mars.

Very good map, if you search for them just make a macro /target dust devil
and spam it on those places

Комментарий от Gyaris

Most seem to browse along old farms, trailer parks, that sort of thing. Many denizens of westfall have been on the stormwind news several times, describing what these things sound like.

Комментарий от Wasiwan

In patch 4.0.3a these will be renamed Unbound Cyclone and will be unattackable. Their model is changing to that of a medium-sized tornado and will throw you up into the air if you run into the middle of them.

Комментарий от WizardKing

Just in case you were curious what happens if you walk into one of these things; you get thrown up into the air and fall back to the ground losing about 20% of your health. Could be fatal if you land in a group of mobs.

I came on here to present my theory on the cyclones being the dust devils from pre-cata. This is no longer just a theory...

Комментарий от 301240

Someone should get a group of twenty or so gnomes together, run into one of these, and watch what happens.

Комментарий от 765487

These are no longer attackable. Perhaps we should ask wowhead to remove the Drop information as it's no longer accurate (since you can't actually kill it).

Комментарий от violetta

hunters and other pet classes/specs can instruct their pets to run into the cyclone for fun

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Elwynn anymore...

Комментарий от Thottbot

does anyone know if they still drop magic dust? i dont even know if that item still exists in the game since none of the vendors that are listed to sell it actually do. looks like an awesome item to have in pvp or for aggro control in instances

Комментарий от Thottbot

Doesn't look like this thing drops anything. Every time I kill it. It drops nothing.

Комментарий от Thottbot

good for Gurubashi arena put the 70 asleep then take the lootz

i use it for my lvl 19 twink got 12 in first 12 tries doing that

Комментарий от Thottbot

its the most annoying creature in westfall for lvl 14 and under

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The only place I can remember the exact location of seeing one is a little north of Sentinel Hill, over the rise.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

they spawn at several locations but only one per area. The areas on the map indicate that there is one (maybe 2) Devil(s) there.

i got the stuff after 3 kills so it wasn't that bad.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Not all that common but I had a quest here I had to kill these buggers, there is a good range between pop places yet not so far to drive you insane.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I looked for these for a while, and the only place I ever saw them was between Alexton Farmstead and Moonbrook, right off the road.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

but were afraid to ask.

I originally discovered magic dust when I was doing the quest that requires "dust devil debris." (Devils in Westfall) Like most noobs, doing the Westfall quests when I was lvl 12 or so, I quickly learned to be terrified of these guys and did my best to avoid them. Then I realized just how useful the magic dust can be. It's also an amazingly valuable item for resale on AH. You almost never see them and when you do, 2G is a low price. Realistically, based on my calculations below, someone with a mount should be able to pick up at least five per hour. If you can get 3G each for them, that's not bad. And they can be easily killed by anyone level 20 or higher.

When I initially came back to farm them, after using all of them had I had collected while doing the quest, I was concerned that the magic dust had been taken out of the game. I farmed once, killed twenty or so, and did not get a single drop of anything (magic dust or otherwise). But now I've farmed several times and can promise you, magic dust is still here.

Here's my experience, and a few tips.

1. Look at the above map, it's very helpful. Within each section, you will NEVER find more than one dust devil at any given time. The area north and east of Moonbrook is actually two sections, so there are actually eleven distinct regions.

2. The respawn rate is 4-6 minutes, so if you are farming these, once you've killed in one area, move on. (One note: In my experience, one section (around 66,73) has a much longer respawn rate. Don't know why or if others have experienced the same.)

3. I farm by making a large circle, starting in the "dust plains" region of Westfall (around 66,73 if you have coords), (farthest south and east) the moving east to North of Moonbrook, going north to hit the three regions along the coast, then crossing the road, moving south to hit the two areas south of the Molson farm, then hitting the region just north of Sentinal Hill, then crossing the road to hit the region north of the dead acre then back to my starting point. Because the people questing in this region generally AVOID the dust devils like the plague, it's not uncommon for me to get all eleven in each circuit.

4. With my mount, with killing say 9-11 per circuit I can make a circuit in about ten minutes.

5. Because respawn rates do vary, (and occasionally someone else kills one) my policy is that I hit the area where one should be, and if it's not there, I immediately move on to the next, instead of hanging around.

6. Drop rates do vary, but based on my last 3-4 farming expeditions, I'd say the drop rate on magic dust for me has been a bit lower than what's listed here, closer to 10%. (I have also, interestingly, gotten 4 elemental air in about 150 kills, which is WAY higher than what is listed here. The ONLY other thing I've gotten is one Dust Bowl. In 150 kills, I've gotten 14 magic dust, 4 elemental air, 1 magic bowl, which means that 130 times out of 150 they dropped nothing. (Of course if you're doing the Devils in Westfall quest, they will drop the Dust Devil Debris as well.)

7. Just want to reiterate this is a great item. I have on a couple of occasions used one against a much higher lvl horde opponent who resisted my polymorph. Boy was he surprised. Of course, like sheeping, any damage cancels the effect, but 30 seconds is a LONG time to sleep, giving me plenty of time to run away, drink a potion, bandage, whatever you want to do. I've also been able to sheep one, dust one a couple of times, which really levels the playing field when you are a cloth-wearing mage.

So happy hunting.

Seems that they travel close to the fleshrippers and tend to roll over a hill toward me when I am weak and helpless. Then they chase me down and kill me.
Seriously, though, I see them quite often in the triangle between Sentinel Hill, Moonbrook and the Quarry. I've killed a few and had no drops, though. Had much better drops from the Gnolls, same area, who are a lot of fun to go one-on-three with. Usually...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I found them where it shows them on the map...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

They must kill more lowbies than all the horde put together.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I was doing the quest Devils in Westfall so I needed the debris.
I decided to concentrate on the areas with the most squares, working in a curved route from Sentinel Hill to Moonbrook. It was made easier as a hunter because I was able to use the 'track elementals' search on my minimap. I hadn't been searching long when i came across one at 38,62; just south of the Alexston Farmstead. At level 29 with my pet, it was a very easy kill, with an immediate drop of the debris.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

To get the debris I had to kill three as well. The map on this page gives a very good description on where they can be found.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The drop rate seems to have fallen. I'm currently at 8/84 which is 9.5%

Great item to have if you get jumped in PvP ;-)

Комментарий от Cinnamohn

All spawn locations.

Комментарий от carsono311

The posted drop rate of Magic Dust is not accurate, for those in Classic planning to farm. I am currently sitting at ~5% based on my own data. Just fyi for everyone.

Edit: It has improved a bit over the past day, so more like 10%... heh.

Комментарий от Whosthechicken

Helpful macro to farm these with Tomtom:

/tar dust devil
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 0)
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 6)
/cway
/tway 41, 22
/tway 35, 36
/tway 34, 54
/tway 43, 43
/tway 46, 48
/tway 43, 60
/tway 38, 62
/tway 34, 67
/tway 54, 42
/tway 61, 34
/tway 63, 51
/tway 68, 73

Bind that to a key and spam it a lot while going from waypoint to waypoint.

4 drops out of 100 kills today.
