The mote extractor is for extracting motes (hence the name), you use special goggles http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=30318 to see the dust clouds that suck up motes, motes are used for everything in the expansion so it should be a bit of a money maker!

评论来自 Magmy

You can also see the clouds if you have the Warlock Detect Lesser Invisibility buff on you.

评论来自 divinebaboon

The goggles only provides the "tracking" of the motes on your minimap... you can see the motes without the goggles just fine.

This tool is used to extract motes from gas clouds just like the description says.
There are gas clouds in Zangarmarch that gives mote of life, there are ones in Netherstorm that gives mote of mana and there are clouds in Shadowmoon Valley that gives mote of shadow.
Only the ones in Netherstorm requires the "Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles" to be seen. You can detect them without the goggles when they are near since they give you mana every second. Though you have to be able to see them to use the mote extractor on them.

You can not detect or see the arcane vortex mana clouds in netherstorm in any way at all without the goggles, if you take off the goggles you wont get the mana ticks and more and you wont even see thme on mobs near it, it's completely undetedctable without goggles.
I have not seen any kind of tracking on minimap either with the goggles that seems to be some myth, if blizzard doesnt increase the amount of clouds or something this is just worthless.

You can easily cllect mote of life(one of the most worthless motes in game) in Zangarmarsh with this tool, You can also collect the motes of shadow(the absoluttely most worthless in game) in Shadowmoon Valley.

With goggles on and if you fly around Netherstorm looking carefully everywhere you might be happy to find 1 cloud of mortes of mana that gives 4-5 of them every 20-30min or so. This makes the goggles and this mote extractor one of the most pointless creations there is in game since you can just kill mobs and gain a lot more motes a lot faster in the time it tkes to find them.

Hunter's Flare and 'of Second Sight'-helm from the Shadowmoon quest line cannot reveal the mana vortexes in Netherstorm although they have a 'Detect Invis'-effect as well.

Don't care so much about how to track them, athough that would be wonderful if they showed up like hunter's tracking. I just can't find any of these clouds. I'm almost regreting making this potentially awsome money making device.

评论来自 Zeratul

I've been searching for these mana clouds all over netherstorm with the"Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles" ofc and couldn't find any. Any1 know where they spawn and do I need to be close to them to detect I was just flying around and nothing.

评论来自 Parmald

If anyone even thinks they can make money on this device, you're WRONG. Infact the only thing it does is taking up bagspace.
Of casual use. you may be lucky enough to get one whole Primal Mana out of this per month if you play every day and fly around at the given locations these cloads are located at ALOT.

I've had engineering for one year and I've neer really used any of the gadgets excep the keyed one, like transportation trinket and etc.
Now I've switched to herbalism, and the gold keeps flowing in - excellent combo with mining :)

评论来自 Tsusaka

Just a quick note on Bodahem's post:

Flare & other "Detect Stealth" effects does exactley that; detects stealth.

To detect invisibility, you will need "Detect Invisibility", aka warlock buff or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23762#c0z , the object in question here.
(Note: I can only speak for warlock buff though. I don't know the limits of the engineered item)

Are these gas clouds always in the same spots, or do they drift around?

评论来自 41689

This just in: "Stealth" and "Invisibility" are two different abilities. Hence the different names.

Therefor, if an ability says "removes Stealth" then it removes stealth, and not invisibility... Unless otherwise noted.

I just wanted to comment more on the gas clouds themselves. I've done some extensive research on these clouds, trying to get a better handle on how they function. Since I was levelling an alt through Zangamarsh, I paid special attention to the 'life' clouds/nodes. I would expect clouds in other zones behave in a similar way.

-Overall these gas nodes can be looked at like a herbalism node, they spawn in a SET LOCATION, based on the number of active nodes in a given area (much like herb and ore nodes) Once harvested, they will respawn sometime later, and if harvested too quickly, they will yeild diminished returns.
-I was able to confirm that even though the gas nodes appear to 'float around', they only do so in a limited area. (no more than a 3x3 area for co-ords) Basically they pat around like an NPC mob. I left a node uncollected and checked back on it regularly and it would always be in the same 3x3 area.
-These nodes do NOT despawn, but stay active until harvested. They will continue to float around their spawn points. They occasionally can pass through objects and terrain.
-Much like herbs, there is likely a limit to the number of these nodes that can be active at once. In one study, I was able to find 5 nodes active in Zangamarsh at the same time, which meant I was able to harvest 24 motes in 10 minutes. (bear in mind I knew exactly where these gas nodes were since I was studying their behaviour at the time. Running around to find them will obviously take longer.)
-During my study I found 10 unique location coordinates where the nodes spawned in Zangamarsh, although I am sure there are more since I have gaps on my map. I found the biggest concentration in the west end of the zone by the Orges (Hewn Bog) and Daggerfen Village, north of Zabra'Jin. At one point there were four active nodes in this area, and of the 10 nodes I recorded, 6 were located in the area bordering 28 to 38 (east-west) and 20 to 60 (north-south).
-Finding the nodes is best done with detail effects set to HIGH in your video settings. This will cause most gas clouds to stick out like sore thumbs.
-One interesting effect with mana motes is that when you are near a mana gas cloud you will hear a 'tingling' sound, much like what you would hear when you are near a mana totem. You will also see sparkles on your avatar, and on the NPCs nearby. (There may be a mana gain effect, but my character has no mana bar)

What does this all mean? Well it means that you CAN in fact 'farm' for these motes, but it will take a good deal of effort to make up a map of locations. If a gatherer style mod was made for these gas nodes, it would be a lot easier to run around and ckeck locations.

However, the rate of return is what one has to question. You need to figure if it would take you longer to just farm mobs (like Bog lords) for these nodes. With an epic flying mount it could likely be quite efficient to farm nodes, since you can cover the terrain quite rapidly.

Farming for these nodes (in general) is likely best done in cases where the motes are in demand, yet aren't that easy to farm. (perhaps shadow now since the nerf) The other situation when farming nodes can be profitable is when you have mining or herbalism, and you can work it in to your farming routes. I haven't yet had the time to study any other zones, but the concept of these nodes should be the same in both Shadowmoon Valley (for shadow motes) and in Netherstorm (for mana motes).

Perhaps one of the best Engineering items there is now, maybe nobody else is farming these, but the Nagrand Gas Clouds spawn rate is very fast, in just under an hour I got 9 Primal Air, that's amazing to be honest, especially since I'm just finding them while farming Adamantite Ore. Definately worth getting now, pays for itself in materials very quickly.

This was excellent, however as of 11-27-07, it seems Blizzard has really nerfed the gas clouds in Nagrand. I rarely see them, whereas before I always saw them.

评论来自 Feinyr

Since the release of s3, it seems that the Nagrand cloud respawnrate is heavily nurfed or bugged. Many Players report that they havent seen any until now. If this is intendet, engineering is going to be again a "non profit" Job.

评论来自 GokieKS

The spawning of the gas clouds has definitely been nerfed. Since S3, I've yet to see a single gas cloud in Nagrand, Zangarmarsh, Netherstorm, or SMV.

I had a conversation with a GM about gas clouds that were in inaccessible locations (notably in Nagrand, where I've come across several which were near a floating island but out of range), and his response was the good old "we're aware of the issue". Whether this change is them trying to fix it, or just an unannounced nerf, who knows.

评论来自 kibeth

Blizzard is aware of, and expected to fix the clouds in 2.3.2.

In 2.3 they put the gas clouds on your mini map. Its a yellow dot like if you were scanning for herbs or mining nodes. Pretty neat.

But I think they only appear if you have a helm that shows you vortexes. But I can see them with out one..it probably wont show up on the mini map.

Note that if you try to use this to extract a cloud but your inventory is full, you will get an error, NO motes, and the cloud will disappear! So be careful and make sure you have an open slot.

I'd like to complain that there is not enough primal fire in the world and the mining nodes just don't do the trick. Perhaps my opinion will change when I'm mining nethercite, but until then I say they should make clouds of fire in BEM or perhaps Hellfire Peninsula.

The cloud "nerf" was a bug, now they respawn again as intended.

评论来自 Krakatau

Tip for farmers: In Nagrand some of te clouds are on floating isles in the air. Usually they are over the edge so you need to go to the very edge of isle to reach them. Be sure you carry http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=12616 Parachute Cloak with you so you don't die if you fall over the edge.

Formerly, this item use to be a complete waste of time...

Back when TBC came out, and this was craftable... Gas clouds were only found in Zangarmarsh and Netherstorm. However, their spawn rates were very low, and you HAD to have a special pair of engineer goggles to be able to see them to begin with! The end result was that the two items combined were a very expensive investment... which yielded poor returns. (You'd have to run around the zone wearing the goggles, and if you found one or two of these clouds, you'd get maybe 4 motes total)

HOWEVER, recently there's been substantial buffs to this whole setup. The gas clouds are now available in Zangarmarsh, Netherstorm, Nagrand, and Shadowmoon Valley and provide Life, Mana, Air, and Shadow Motes, respectively. Not only that, they are VISIBLE at all times. The detection 'buff' available on special engineer goggles were modified to add markers for clouds on the Minimap, so it is useful to have these goggles on, but NOT required. These clouds provide anywhere from 3-5 motes per extraction, so its decent.

Note that there's A LOT of spawns for clouds as of 2.3 too... you can see the other posts for maps with some of the nodes. HOWEVER, there's a respawn issue atm... see this forum link.

Here's the direct quote from the Blizz Poster Nethaera (since that thread may eventually disappear):
"Hello everyone. i just thought I'd drop in to let you know that it has been confirmed by QA that respawns of gas clouds are not working properly at current.

This is slated to be fixed in the next patch (2.3.2)."

评论来自 177631

It is easy to make 1,000g with this device in a single day, or even in a couple of hours. I farm Nagrand at night when the population is much less. I mine and engineer the clouds, and make anywhere from 60-80 ore (mainly because im not after the ore) and 12-15 primal airs. On my server primal airs sell anywhere from 30-45g and are in fairly high demand. The majority of all my money comes from this primal air business. I don't even do dailys anymore, as just farming nagrand for motes and ore is way more profitable, not to mention non-dps classes who struggle or is slow at doing dailys will benefit by the lack of combat in making money this way.

Something to keep in mind: If you learn to create this then give up engineering, or just lose the pattern, you can NOT get the recipe back.

it's not like the LW tortoise scale patterns, the NPCs won't teach you to create them if you lose the pattern

Luckily, it doesn't bind to you, so you can use it and still throw it on an alt. or, in my case, buy one from AH because the recipe wasn't available.

And the mote extractor is again for use in Wotlk game Client.I can say that the Spawning points are simple and the spawning time is like 5-10 mins for each cloud.I also want to say that its different from TBC clouds.There is only 3 types of cloud in Wotlk i saw from all Northrend.But i also want to say that it not drops as they made clouds.For example you can see Steam Clouds in Fizzlecranks airstrip place.There is 3 spawns there.If you use the extractor u ll get 1-4 Crystallized Fire and 1-4 Crystallized Water into your backpack.All the 3 clouds on mixed areas at northrend only can give fire-air-water.Thats sucks but better then nothing!. ....
Ofc dont forgot to check your inventory if you hav 3 empty specs for all reasons.If you dont got any space in your inv. The cloud will remove and u cant get any of the loots.

I just recently made this thing while leveling engineering and I must say I am disappointed in it. I don't know how it worked in BC but in Wrath it doesn't work very well. By that I mean that if you expect this to be a money maker you will be disappointed. It should be seen like all the other engineering gadgets. Fun, maybe make a coin or two, but it is not a substitute for mining or any other profession.

The clouds don't have many spawn points, they are far apart, and they don't respawn fast. This gadget is perfect to use when you are out mining or questing or doing something else and happen to stumble upon a cloud.

But if you are in need of some eternals fast there are much better ways to get them than this gadget.

Oddly enough, this makes the "red mist" in Deepholm's Crimson Expanse show up as a red dot on the minimap. The mote extractor has no effect on the mist, however.

Unfortunately this Red Mist in Deepholm doesn;t do a thing with zapthrotle extractor. It could be a cloud that shouldn;t be in the game, just because they removed the other clouds before the release for some reason..

Where is all the clouds in Cataclysm?

Anyone know if Blizzard plans on bringing clouds back for engineers here in Cataclysm? Seems like there is a bigger need considering that the new "Eternals" cost 15 "motes" instead of 10 they did in BC and WotLK.

Has this item been forgotten in Cataclysm? I was hoping to sneak in some extra volatiles while levelling my engineering alt :(

评论来自 Sieghardt

A brand new model might come soon.

As of this writing there are still clouds that are unreachable. The one in Nagrand next to the Ring of Trials above a floating island at 68, 56 is one I had trouble with. It is above the trees on this island and I tried jumping out of my flying machine in a parachute in an attempt to farm it. You get the message that you can't do that while moving. I even tried climbing the tree to reach it, still wasn't high enough. Of course you can't farm while mounted so that was out of the question. Wrote a ticket.

The Cataclysm Equivalent of this item is the Electrostatic Condenser.

Does anyone know if this item is still useful? I just made one on my engineer, went to storm peaks, Gas clouds are not showing up on my mini-map and I am not able to target them either. Do I need to have mining as my second profession? I don't, I have Blacksmithing as well as engineering on my character.

This item detects the Musk Clouds produced by the 野生高原牦牛s that you try to capture during the quest:选牦牛.

Any MoP gas cloud sightings or new model?

评论来自 Gormie

Useless in WoD and Pandaria...not even worth crafting anymore.

If you're farming motes heavily, I recommend downloading the addon gathermate2. It not only marks the exact spot on your world map where you received the mote, but also shows a picture of what mote it was. You can map out more accurate routes the more you farm a zone. I also have it for mining. It is an amazing addon that you can customize very personally for each alt.

I've compiled a guide for anyone still using this as a method for farming Motes from the gas clouds, you can see all the different kinds and what you need to look out for here: https://youtu.be/-CB6R8TwurQ?t=277
