Kommentar von Agrithnaar

The drop rate for the embers in this quest are stupidly rare... Be prepared to run around killing a bunch of fire elementals, which in themselves are a pain to kill due to being spread around with all the harpies :

Droprate is indeed very bad.

Followup quest: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1082

Kommentar von 3946

Drop rate for me was about 25% but its a good grinding quest and the rep reward is nice

Kommentar von 65114

you can pair this quest up with Retrieval for Mauren, as both the basilisks and elementals are located in the charred valley

This quest becomes avaliable after completing the quests given by Gaxim Rustfizzle (https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/npc=4077), ie.:
An Old Colleague (https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1072) and Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun;
and A Scroll from Mauren (https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1075) and Devils in Westfall.
They are very quick to do. In the 1st you just need to buy 4 minor manas and 2 elixirs of minor fortitude (or make it), in the 2nd kill 1, maybe 2 Dust Devils in Wesfall.
Then you get the Covert Ops quests (https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1079 and https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1080 ); after completing them Gaxim tells you to talk to Kaela, which unlocks the quest.

I don't get it, how do i get this quest? I've done 'an old colleague' and the devils in westfall quests, yet she still wont talk to me.

Kommentar von Kaelon

The general notion that the drop rate on the Smoldering Embers is low is right on the mark; it's less than one in five kills (20%); but more ridiculous is the fact that there are very few fire elementals in the zone, most of them wandering along the periphery. It took me more than four full clearings to get my eight.

Kommentar von 382136

As a high level hunter with mining/engineering I used to farm in charred vale for mithril a lot. I came across tons of these fire elementals during these farm runs. However, as soon as I picked up this quest (to gain gnomeregan exile rep) the number of fire elementals seemed to drop, A LOT! It seems if you aren't looking for them (or they aren't in your quest log) they are everywhere, but if you are, they are no where to be found. Makes the low drop rate even more of a pain in the butt.

Edit: You dont get gnomeregan rep for this quest, you get ironforge rep, WOWHEAD WAS WRONG! What a waste of time!

Counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

If you can get out of Stonetalon without doing this quest, you will be saved a headache. These mobs spawn around 1 out of every 20 surrounding mobs and the drop is only about 1 out of 4. Best of luck to you.

Kommentar von zerthblade

Kill all the mobs around. They are on the same respawn timer with the fire elementals.

Kommentar von SirPosty

Go along the southern perimeter, from π to 2π for those so inclined, and kill every basilisk and earth elemental along with the Burning Destroyers. I doubt they share their cooldown timer with the harpies, so just skip them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This one became available after completing the Covert Ops quests.

Kommentar von Thottbot

My 25 Druid must have killed every flame elemental in the Charred Vale and 1 ember dropped from the guy outside the Vale. Has anyone else had such bad luck?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just finished this one. The drop rate is HORRIBLE, but eventually you'll get all eight. It took me a couple of days coming and going before I got it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

where are they? there are so few of them!

Kommentar von Thottbot

is horrible
another boring evil random drop quest

Kommentar von Thottbot

The charred vale is west of Mirkfallon Lake down the path. In Stonetalon Mountains

Kommentar von Thottbot

Plan on doing this for a good couple hours cause the drop rate is really low and the mobs don't spawn much either.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Since I last did this quest, it appears to me that the drop rate has been increased. Don't neglect the two Fire Elementals outside the entrance to the Charred Vale near Mirkfallon Lake. They dropped two embers for me on the way into the Vale and another two on the way out, which is almost like a 200% rate.

The higher-level (27) Fire Destroyers near the Southern part of the Vale dropped nothing. Not even copper. Nada, and I killed each of them about three times as they respawn quickly. Just ignore them. The rate seems to increase as you head North through the Vale.

My 25 Druid got 2100XP and 20 Silver. Not bad for the level of difficulty.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was able to get the Fire Embers in about 15 min. Just stick to this area 35, 57 and you should be good. Just keep running up and down that path and you will find enough elementals to complete with quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Despite what people are saying the drop rate has not increased. I've put about 5 hours into this quest and so far I have 4 out of 8. The flame spirits usually drop nothing at all so don't pick up this quest. It is a total waste of time. Blizzard really knows how to suck it up on a lot of things lately.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this quest and it only took me about 15 min.I killed 10 Rouge Spirits and 8 embers droped. It was pretty easy

Kommentar von Thottbot

The droprate is still really bad, and it appears there's at most 5-6 in the zone at the same time. I've run up and down the path and a little bit into the vale like 100 times now and I'm at 5/8.

I thought the harpies was bad; this is even worse.

2h and counting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The drop rates must have increased. I got an ember once out of every 2 or 3 kills. Took me 15 minutes tops.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You must have lucked out, because I've been at it for about three hours total, and I've currently got four. I always hear Sida's Bag has a terrible drop rate and both of my characters got it first kill. I guess this is payback for that...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Why cant blizzard fix this it took so long for so little. Other posters are right about running the path but still took almost 1.5 hours.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It took me 20 mins to get 'em

Kommentar von Thottbot

Have enraged me!..I have never spent so much time for so little reward!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Uh... despite what everyone says, I got all 8 in 20 fire guys. LV27/28s and lv23/24/25s alike. I got some from each of them, took me maybe 40 minutes.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Drop rate is terrible. Bleh. 20 silver...it's worth it for me though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Did this quest while doing the harp killing quest..was able to get the 8 just while clearing them for the harpies. I got about 2 from low lvl rogue ones and rest from the higher lvl destroyers..

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well, i've been doing this quest for about and hour and i only have 6 out of 8 ><

its mostly only the Rogue Flame Spirits that drop them....and their drop rate and respawn rate is horrible

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you do this along with the quest to clear the charred vale (and there are other quests like retrieval for mauren that can be done in there), you wind up finishing it just clearing fire elementals out of the way as you hunt harpies.

Kommentar von Thottbot

God damn it guyz!I think i killed over 20 flame spirits and 5 earth and i got only 2 q items....this is really not good...ugly q! i hate it

Kommentar von Thottbot

They fixed the drop rate its much easier

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got them all within about 45 min. Went south along the east mountains and along the south border. The quest itself is not worth doing, but was mining at the same time, and there is alot of minerals in the area. I also had another quest in the area as well, made it a bit more worthwhile.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok, the rogue fire elementals didn't drop anything for me. The Burning Ravagers, however, dropped them pretty good. Look for those if you are having problems with these dropping.

29,72 is a good place to start. Kill anything that has the word Burning in it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Fire Elementals (called Rogue Flame Spirits) are immune to fire based attacks (duh) so if you are a Mage use cold or arcane based attacks to kill the Rogue Flame Spirits.

You can also make good use of the spell Fire Ward on this quest too.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Drop rate for me is almost 1 per kill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The droprate is really, really bad 1/6 i get.

*Well finaly done, i gained 18100 xp just going for this quest and grinding and spend 2 hours, so if u have time do it, if not skip it*

On the path down into the Charred Vale I noticed that it was fully spawned with basilisks when they day before it had been a pretty equal split between Basilisks & Rogue Flame Spirits. When I became aggravated with trying to find fire elementals in the vale area, I cleared up the path and sure enough, next spawn rate about half were Rogue Flame Spirits and I was able to finish off the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There is a lone Rogue Flame Spirit that wanders (37,61). So far, he's been dropping the quest item every time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

FYI: You must complete "Covert Ops - Alpha" & "Covert Ops - Beta" which gets you "Kaela's Update" which unlocks this quest.

I tried to access this one before I finished the quests for Gaxim and I was not able to obtain it. I am a lev 32 Hunter, BTW so the level requirement wasn't an issue.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As already stated this is unlocked by doing the Kaela's Update, along with 'Wounded Ancients' it also unlocks 'Update for Sentinel Thenysil'

See further under 'Update for Sentinel Thenysil'

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Low drop rate, be prepared to kill a lot of these. There are a few in the entrance canyon that are level 23ish (approx 37,43 to 37,53) and more all along the southern edge of the Charred Vale that are levels 24-26 (approx 27,70 to 37,70)

Got drops from all versions of this fire elemental.

I would do this quest with Retrival for Mauren (basilisks), Reclaiming the Charred Vale (harpies),and Wounded Ancients (corroded shrapnel)

I am a level 29 Dwarf Paladin - not too much trouble solo but only 2 at a time at most...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can find fire elementals on the path down to the Charred Vale, or in the vale itself. The ones on the path are lower level (about 23) while those in the vale were 26-27.

Drop rate was pretty good, about one per two kills, maybe a little better.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The drop rate I got for these things wasn't as good as gaeolas'. Mine was more like one every four or five. It seemed to take forever.
Special not to the miners out there: If someone's already mining a vein that you're approaching, don't be an idiot and start mining the same one.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have done this quest three times and each time its taken me about 5 to 6 kills to get one ember.

Kommentar von Oldbury

Annoyingly, the elementals are spread throughout the vale and mixed in with all the other enemies there - basilisks, harpies and chimaera. If you've been questing in Stonetalon already you'll likely have more quests to kill other enemies in the vale, so if you combine the quests it's not really an issue. Drop rate was reasonable for me. As with most quests similar to this, the higher level enemies (which are found towards the southern border of the charred vale) likely have a better drop rate.

The enemies for this quest also drop the valuable Elementarfeuer which can sell for a couple of gold on the AH. Consequently, you'll probably stumble on some competition including higher level players - so watch your back on a PvP server.

Kommentar von frakbt

I'm not saying there is causation, but I was getting nothing but empty loot windows on my Druid in Cat Form for an hour. When I started switching out of Cat Form and holding down my Loot Key (to prevent Auto Looting), my drop rate skyrocketed.

Kommentar von LaffiBoozegnome

I did the quest at level 60, and the droprate is so awful, that I doubt it would make any difference if you are a level 60 or a level 25. This is one of the most boring quests you can do, because after killing maybe 10 mobs, you might get 1-2 quest items for doing it.

Edit: After 30 minutes on this quest I had only 4/8 smoldering embers.
Edit 2: Quest took maybe 45 minutes for a level 60 warrior. I only went for the fire elementals.

Kommentar von phantasia

This quest after all these many years is still the same major pain to complete for so little reward.
I was so frustrated after 2 hours on my hunter for having only 6 of the quest items.
I'm not levelling any other chars through Stonetalon just because of this, it's a zone that I like, but no more, ever again!

Kommentar von SeekerWi

8% droprate = 100 elementals killed on average to complete the quest

Someone forgot to add a 0 on the droprate

Kommentar von Etreum

Rough, very rough. Not only is there a terrible drop rate, nasties front, back, left and right. Unless you really want it, avoid (Especially in hardcore).

Kommentar von striderevale

SoD:

The drop rate is not as bad as it looks bc ppl are killing these without the quest. But horde need to kill these things, so they're in demand, they're very spread out, and their repop is not good. So yeah, it's no bueno.

One of those quests that makes this very much the Season of Doing All Those Garbage Quests You Never Did Because They're Garbage.

	Glimmende Überreste (8)

Beschreibung

Ich weiß nicht genau, was die Venture Company dem Tal angetan hat, aber es ist offensichtlich, dass es von den dortigen Kreaturen überwältigt wurde.

Sie steckten den Wald in Brand und benutzten ihre zerstörerischen Erfindungen, um so viel wie möglich des Tals zu zerstören.

In ihrer Dummheit haben sie jedoch auch noch etwas anderes entfesselt: brennende Geister, Elementare der Flammen, der Steine und der Wut.

Das Land wird Elune nicht mehr lächeln sehen, solange diese Kreaturen frei herumstreifen.

Bringt mir ihre glimmenden Überreste, um mir zu zeigen, dass Ihr sie dezimiert habt.
