Staple farming mobs such as the Tricksters are gone, and the NPCs you have to kill for the quest do not drop loot.Įverything in the capital city disappears, including all NPCs. Thundermaw are really the only viable farming mob because they roam in packs, have a fairly quick respawn timer, and there are lots of them in a relatively small area even then they are not ideal. While in this phase, you can no longer complete Golden Lotus dailies, thus removing the satchel as a possible drop.Īmong the only mobs available for farming are Docile Porcupines, Fairlands Gazelle, the occasional goat, spiders in the Guo-Lai ruins, and Thundermaw. I draw this hypothesis since I have killed over 2500 mobs with not a single drop of a Skyshard, and for me the drawbacks outweigh the benefits of possibly getting shards with low effort, because even if you abandon it, you are stuck in the phase until you finish the quest. Someone before mentioned the utility of the buff to help killing the cow - however, since that was hot-fixed, it's possible that the phase drop has been too. Now that I have her, I have about two and a half weeks of August Celestials dailies left before I'm actually able to ride her.Ĭomment by imeowatdogsirlFor anyone else who had the idea to farm while on The Might of Three, I am assuming that Blizzard has either made Skyshards unable to drop while in that phase, or I just have terrible luck. I made 25k gold on loot drops alone (and that's after sending every single dropped green to the guild enchanter) and pulled out around 10-15 Spirits of Harmony a day.
I killed her last night at approximately 12:30am server time and more than six hours later she has not yet respawned, so she seems to have a long respawn timer.Īll told, getting this mount took me about a week and a half of farming 6-12 hours daily. Once you've looted her corpse, Alani despawns within a few minutes, so take your victory screenshots fast. Bring a few friends you trust, though, just in case you attract an audience. She doesn't have any knockbacks or special abilities of any kind and goes down very quickly. I pulled her down on a jutting hilltop just south of the Shrine of Two Moons, near the Mogu colossi. She can be tagged out from underneath you, apparently. Using the Sky Crystal is a short channeled spell but she aggros almost immediately, and to be safe I would suggest that you kill her during a low population server time or not announce that you're bringing her down until you've already killed her.
Here's a screenshot of a drop: and here's a list of the 10 mobs which I looted skyshards from:Ĭomment by 1045449I finished farming Skyshards last night on live and killed her. Be aware though, that these trickster mobs will not spawn every day as their spawn is related to the dailies that are available on that particular day. There's quite a few of them also in places which means you can AoE them down together. They have low health in comparison to other level 90 mobs and a relatively short respawn (1-3 mins). These can be found is a few locations in the vale but most notably around the north to northwestern area of the Vale (33,26) and in the southern Mistfall Village. I found the best mobs to grind were the 'Trickster' mobs. I think my longest gap between drops was around 24 hours of grind time (over several days ofc) and shortest was about 4 hours - RNG can be a pain. The drop rate from the mobs is exceptionally low whilst I believe the loot bag is slightly higher. Skyshards have a chance to drop from most, if not all, mobs in Vale of Eternal Blossoms and also from the loot bag obtained from the final quest of the Golden Lotus dailies. When looted he dropped the Reins of the Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent. After collecting 10x Skyshards I turned them into 1x Sky Crystal which allowed me to attack and kill Alani.
Today I pretty much confirmed that Alani the Stormborn is infact the MoP version of the TLPD/Aeonaxx. This buff is removed from an item called Sky Crystal which is created by combining 10x Skyshard. He has a buff called Nimbus Shroud which makes him immune from being attacked. Comment by EsinarAlani the Stormborn is a level 92 rare spawn located flying around the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
