I must point out as far as rarity, and difficulty go, remember we will all be flying in a short time. I’m not too worried.

I agree. The Mote Extractor does have a little use in Northrend. I found a number of clouds around the frozen waterfalls in Howling Fjord. I found four or five clouds in a single run. However, you may want to hustle to avoid the competition.

The current Extractor does work and in Borean Tundra you will see steam clouds I got fire and water from it.

Fear: I’ve seen no clouds yet, I have no idea if there will be new mote extractor usability in Northrend. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is phased out, I’m sad to say. What with mining now dropping all forms of motes, engineers would not have a lock on mote farming in WotLK.

Can engineers gather the new clouds with existing extractors?…

Cizz: Have not seen any of the current motes in WotLK. I believe they will be completely taken over, I would use them now while you can.

War: I’ve gotten lots of shadow from the saronite nodes (regular and rich) that I’ve been farming since yesterday. They seem to drop about 50/50 with the crystallized earth from saronite.

Titanium drops all Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Don’t recall ever getting Shadow. I agree that Cobalt in starter zones is woefully scarce. Lots of hassle there (herbs also seem to be relatively uncommon in general). Getting a complete Cobalt set for tanking will be a challenge.

I’ve not seen usage for the current motes/primals. I expect they will plunge in price similar to Essences at TBC launch.

Have you seen any use for the current motes and primals from TBC into the new wotlk expansion yet? Or will they be taken over completely by the new crystallized motes / primals ?
