Took about 180 kills. Had 352 enchanting at the time.

评论来自 newbies

I've only killed about 30 so far, no drop. They don't seem to respawn really well. Does killing the other ogres there cause them to respawn faster?

Dropped after 287 kill. Bleh.

评论来自 20187

I got it after 20 or so.

The mobs are really far apart so a 280% mount helps a lot.

Took me 178 Geomancers and 489 Skirmishers but I finally got it to drop.

评论来自 ShihanLock

I got this one in less than an hour also, but I've been paying for it on the major intellect enchant.

评论来自 5940

I would assume the drop rate is much higher than it says here, because only enchanters can see this drop. All the mobs that have it but are killed by someone who is not an enchanter don't register as having it, so the drop rate here lowers.

PS I got it on my second kill.

评论来自 Daddar

Took 81 kills to get it to drop for me. The skirmishers make it difficult as they are more frequent then the geomancers. Overall, i spent a few hours camping for this. Do not give up hope!

评论来自 19101

Yay, I was lucky on this one. About 10 Geomancer kills.

Make sure to kill the Skirmishers as well, they are all on the same respawn percentage.

评论来自 MattHock

Killed about 300 ogres to get it - I'd guess about 4/5 skirmishers to clear the zone for the geomancers to spawn.

评论来自 xasz

In the northern part of Bloodmaul Outpost (45,75 IIRC) is a strip of land with about 10-12 skirmishers and geomancers. The geomancer spawn rate appears to be about 1 in 8 or so, make sure you kill all of the ones in the strip. By the time you've cleared it, it should be starting to respawn - this area's also devoid of quest items, so you don't need to worry about too much interference.

Took me about 30 geomancer kills, and probably upwards of 300 skirmishers.

评论来自 Cenotaph

I must be cursed, I have now passed 500 Geomancers. That is 500 geomancers, not skirmishers included. still no drop.
Made a good bit of gold though =)
(I do get some flashbacks to a certain tower in wpl where I never had any luck either)

评论来自 Clip

I'm in the same boat, Cenotaph. I've killed well over 500. Not seeing the drop either. Same strat: clearing out Skirmishers to get the Geomancers to respawn. I'm losing my mind.

评论来自 Clip

Spirits were shining. Got it right after I posted above. Thanks for the karma, wowhead. Make that 503 kills total for me, which is still ridiculous. Good luck guys. Just keep coming back. You'll get it.

Prepare for a crusader-esque grind when you are planning on getting this.

评论来自 Hellreject

Yep no doubt about it. Unless you're blessed with luck, you'll be grinding here for hours. Been standing here for 4-5 hours straight, killed about 600-700 ogres, maybe more. No drops whatsoever worth mentioning.
And yes, i've found it that it's like 85% Skirmishers to 15% Geomancers here.

评论来自 Jonas

270 mobs total - 40 of them were geomants - so 2.5% droprate for me .) .. try to kill all the skirmishers too b'cause the respawnpoints are shared

2 days later with 1 day pause it finally droppt on my 181th Geomancer kill....with around 3xx Skirmisher`s. Good luck to anybody who is trying to get the formula, this place is probaly one of the most frustrating places, ever!

So, I started farming these one night and I killed about 100 or so geo's before I decided to turn in (roughly 3-4 hours of farming) and it didnt drop. Undetered I came back 2 days later lookin for Netherweave and hoping to farm for the enchant at the same time...So im flyin in and see a geo who just spawned putting up some ice armor, so I engage him and quickly kill him while thinking "jee, wouldnt it be absolutely hilarious if he, my first mob, dropped the recipe?" As you may have guessed, the recipe dropped and I was so happy and so loud, my mom came down to see if I was dying or something :P So, to all those still farming - keep at it...itll drop eventually.

Has something changed with the maintenance this week (April 2007)??
I have been grinding this enchant for weeks. I would have killed over 500 geomancers and 3 times as many skirmishers. I have nightmares about them. I am a holy priest who respecs shadow every weekend, and can kill them as either spec. I did find killing them along the side passage with no dogs the best technique.

I log on today and am told very sheepishly by a guildy that they got it '5th kill'. A small part of me dies.

I would have wasted weeks here....

I decide to give up and try a new enchant grind as obviously this is never meant to be. I head over to the sunfury researchers and kill a dozen and pick up the +30intel to weapon. Ok, not so bad now that the guildy got it on her 5th kill.

So after the khara raid I head over to geomancer hell and 2nd kill.....omg....can hardly believe the small box thats says looting this will bind it to you.....

So either the drop rates have been changed, or they only drop on Tuesdays in the second week of the month! Anyone else been grinding and reading this thread for solace and suddenly got one?

The message is: Never give up! :) so pleased I didn't now.

If you are considering getting this enchant, you may want to wait until the next patch. The primal cost will be reduced.

评论来自 joshb306

Not a very high drop rate...I thought these geomancers dropped +40 spell damage to weapon, and after about 10 hours of farming and no drop....I looked it up again, and it wasnt these guys...And i still didnt even get the +15 spell to bracers after like 10 hours

评论来自 Gono

I used following tactic when farming these; ran the strip north of the outpost "upwards" - then as I got to the end, ran over the ravine and a little south to enter the strip heading "down" there. After clearing this one the ogres on the other side have just spawned. Run across the ravine again and repeat.

This is much like the tactics mentioned earlier, except I used both the strips, running back after clearing the eastern strip didn't give mobs enough time to spawn.

And yes, it's very painful farming. Haven't sold one of these enchants yet either, mats are just mad expensive, about 700g on my server. Will be somewhat reduced after patch though, but not enough imo.

edit: The enchant sells, endgame raiders will always go for this one.

It is easier to farm for this after you have done the Ogri'la quest where you get crowned the king of ogres. You are no longer considered hostile to the ogres and can ride around and pick off the geomancers

评论来自 69718

there're three ''strips'' of land where Geomancers can spawn. the one on the right is slightly longer than the other; has a nub which extends a few yards ''above'' the one on the left, with a small encampment with 3-4 mobs. there's also an enclosement where there're two towers, two buildings, and about 20 mobs; found south of the right side. geo's can be found inside the buildings, so be sure to check there, too. you should NOT go beyond where the shamans are, as they don't share the respawn point as the geos.

Ugh, I don't even know if it has a bad drop rate or not. The Geomancers aren't spawning at all for me. I've been here at least half an hour killing mobs and the Skirmishers are all that's spawning. - -; Two Geomancers in thirty minutes FTL.

评论来自 31233

Spent 6 straight hours on this one, and came out empty handed. Will try again later. But, my advice would be to take a good friend with you. The added dps will help generate more geomancers. Since killing the skirmishers will in turn make more geomancers spawn, having someone else there with you would be a great help to down more skirmishers. Hope you have some patience. Goodluck.

Oh, and I really don't want to hear about how some of you got it on the second kill, just makes me feel bad :(

Over 7 consecutive hours of killing skirmishers to make geomancers spawn....killing everything in sight.... and no enchant.

I also just got this enchant on my 2nd kill of a Bloodmaul Geomancer. I can confirm that this drop rate is probably very high for enchanters but appears low because these mobs are often killed while leveling and the enchant is not seen.

This is a painful camp, though after around 12 hours of camping (spread out over 3-4 hours per session), I managed to get one of the Geomancers to drop. I was solo, rather than in a group with my buddy, a priest, when it dropped (the first kill of the new session tonight). A couple of pointers that might help:

- Get into a clearing sequence, whereby you clear out the Bloodmaul Ravine (about 12 spawns, 6 spawns each side), and then AoE (if you're not a mage, bring one - it helps) the Bloodmaul Outpost. By the time you're done AoE'ing the outpost, the ravine will begin to respawn.

- Patrol early and patrol often. Before you engage in any clearings for this drop, make absolutely sure that you've killed all Geomancers. In addition to the 12-spawn in the Ravine, and the 18-spawn in the camp, there are 4 patrols (2 out of the Ravine towards Sylvanaar, 2 in the middle of the Ravine).

With a lot of patience and a regular routine, you will hopefully get a Geomancer to drop this enchant. Be warned, however, whereas it takes some people a few hours, or a few days, I spoke with some Enchanters who admitted it had taken them "a few weeks".

评论来自 Jibbs

2 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks

that's what it took me to get it. I had about 15 green drops off of geomancers before this one

This is the day after patch 2.3:

I farmed this for about 20 min before the patch came out with no luck. Then today (the day after patch was released) I decided to try again for the hell of it before starting my Ogrilla dailies, and there were Geomancers EVERYWHERE. I killed about 10 of them and got this to drop. I dunno if the mob count has increased, or if the drop rate has been improved, or I'm just lucky.

评论来自 101414

Very low on drop rate. 8 Months of farming (almost every day for 30-60min). Still didn't drop. :(

评论来自 104420

Again, this is one of those random things. I killed 3 Geos while doing a quest and it dropped on the 3rd one. I wasn't really trying for it, but I didn't complain.

I guess just like any other low rate drop, don't give up hope if it's not dropping... it will.

评论来自 69617

Took me 7 kills to get mine. Doesn't sound like much but the geomancers are a fairly low spawn rate so I ended up having to sit around and clear the skirmishers for about 45 minutes. Not a bad camp compared to people talking about months, though.

评论来自 AlphaQ

I farmed this in about 3 hours. I felt like I wanted to claw my eyes out! Like most people said, the best strategy is to AoE and also to go down one side and back up the opposite side. By the time you're done with one side, the other side will be respawned. Kill all the ogres so that more Geomancers can respawn in their place.

评论来自 55864

It took me 45 min to farm this recipe. I found a nice long strip of the Skirmishers, directly below the bridge.. I ran from one end to the other killing them, then usually the Geomancers would spawn. Not really as bad as I was expecting.

评论来自 94258

Got it on my first kill just some minutes ago. Even though I've spent some hours farming it, I got lucky this time. ;-)

Was alot of them Geomancer's there though, like 15 of 'em, but I suppose noone has been there for hours... Oh well, just wanted to brag. Laterz.. ;)

Maybe it has something to do with the time, so I'll write it down too. Got it ~08:15 on a sunday GMT +1.

EDIT: Sick! I got the major spellpower on weapon on my 3th kill allso (spell-thiefs), at 08:30 GMT+1.

评论来自 50908

If you have done the opening Ogri'la faction quests then the Geomancers and Skirmishers will be neutral to you. HOWEVER, after you kill a certain amount of them they will temporarily turn aggressive to you. I thought this was a bug till I talked to a GM. She said it was normal for them to turn hostile then show up as neutral another day. Your Ogri'la faction will not be changed.

评论来自 118433

Flew overhead til I found a geomancer, and killed it. It dropped a green De item. Not a bad start, saw a 69 hunter leveling (presumably), killed him, then saw another geomancer. Killed it and it dropped the bracer enchant, too easy. Was done in 5 minutes with 7 honor to boot.

评论来自 EZHK

About 6 hours of pretty continuous grinding did it for me. As it happened, the same Geomancer that dropped it for me also dropped the Battlemaster enchant, which made me a pretty happy camper...

I did the north part of the west side of the gulch, and the east side all the way down to the town, with occasional trips into the north part of the town, where it's easy to avoid those annoying wolves.

And as others have noted--the ogres all drop a fair amount of netherweave. If you're a tailor/enchanter this is actually a pretty profitable grind.

For what its worth, spent like 2.5 hours grinding this out, looted 6 stacks of netherweave, 4 greens, vendor trash, and 19gold and no recipe. Went back later....like 12 hrs later and on first kill: it dropped. My suggestion is kill for awhile then come back and actually get it. gl.

评论来自 Celwindia

Finally go this today, as a few previous posters have said, this one actually took me several weeks of sparse camping. The first 4-5 camp sessions, I stayed solely inside the camp, the 2 skirmishers posted at the entrance will always be skirmishers, as will the one that spawns at the far side of the camp where the 3 wolves spawn with him. The ones inside buildings, the one pat that moves from the 2nd and 1st floor of the large hut, and the pats from the towers all can spawn Geomancers as well.

I finally got my drop in the ravine today, 477 kills for my drop, and at least 16 hours spent camping. All in all, ugly drop rate for me, but the Netherweave was good, and I made over 100g in silver drops, not to mention the sporadic greens and occasional blue drops.

As was mentioned above, get into a circuit grind, even as a Spriest I was able to clear the camp completely out, make 2 laps around the ravine, and head back into the camp, never any downtime.

Well after reading comments here i thought, oh well, im usually lucky, so ... Not this time. Took a full week of doing these annoying left-side right-side clearing, with only a few geomancers respawning every time. Total stats: Skirmishers killed: 900 geomancers killed: 366.

This was by far the most HORRIBLE farming ''session'' sofar.

评论来自 145269

I spent a good ~3-4 hours farming these. At first I roamed the area outside the outpost, but found it to be quicker to actually go into the outpost for less running around. Yes, geomancers can spawn where *most* skirmishers spawn. Maybe one or two exceptions there. Brewmasters don't matter, but I was killing them anyway for netherweave.

I ended up getting 11 stacks of Netherweave before getting the formula to drop.

评论来自 146230

Thought it was worth mentioning that http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22531#teaches-recipe is a much much cheaper option that gives +10 spell damage, and is available from Honor Hold/Thrallmar at friendly.

Something to think about, personally I don't think that 5 spell damage is worth ~500g in shards and primals, given the other options.

评论来自 33464

Here's my bid for the worst-case record. I killed 552 Geomancers and 936 others (total: 1488) since i started counting, and it finally dropped today.

I restarted and abandoned this farm many times since I started farming for it at level 70, ench 370+, and neutral with the ogres. Tried killing everything to get geos to spawn, and also tried just killing geos whenever i flew past, to no avail. Several times I swore off ever returning, after many long nites, and many bad experiences with kill stealers, both innocent and deliberate.

I got very superstitious over the 6-8 months of trying, and today decided i was going to try farming just after a (Greymane) server maintenance outage, in the chance that the recipe only spawns once a week or something. Today's kills: 21 Geos and 63 others before it dropped. I was alone the whole time, which helps, except for a warlock who buzzed through, obviously looking for live geomancers. My dark and hateful glare was enough to scare him off.

The one who dropped it for me was at the top of the slope up from the main entrance to the village, on the left (north) side (20m north of the central fire).

This recipe should be epic or legendary, not uncommon. I'm leaving now to do penance for all the dark thoughts i've had (and expletives i've uttered) about WoW, its developers, and players.

评论来自 Cobra

I am sure I have killed the blasted oger camp more than 100 times and killed geomancers over 100 of them...and the damn recipe ISN'T DROPPING! What can I do cause I am a bit sick of farming, got over 70 stacks of netherweave and crappy greens! -.-

评论来自 DreamingDemon

I'm very sorry, and I know this may cause enmity... but I got the pattern in about 12 kills. Now, I'd quested in this area before and never gotten it, so the total is probably more like 40 kills, but only 12 while farming for the recipe last night. In addition, I got the Spellpower to Weapon enchant with only 9 dead Ba'shir Spell Thieves, and the Bracers - Fortification from the Nether-guys in only 18 kills... all on the same night. It was a good night.

It seems that there may have been a stealth buff to pattern drop rates in 2.4? I find it hard to believe that I got that lucky THREE TIMES in a row, in one night, in under 45 minutes.

评论来自 152009

Yea, definitely seems like a massive stealth buff to pattern drop rates in 2.4. I got it on my second geomancer. Some people are lucky, but still it looks like big stealth drop rate buff.

Absolutely terrible drop rate. As of now I've camped...

40 Spell Dmg ~ Weapon ~ Spell Thieves in Bashir's Landing
30 Int ~ Weapon ~ Sunfury Researchers in Netherstorm
12 Def ~ Bracer ~ Etherium Nullifier in Netherstorm
15 Arcane Resist ~ Cloak ~ Eclipsion Archmage in Shadowmoon
15 Shadow Resist ~ Cloak ~ Voidshreaker in Netherstorm

And this is by far the worst camp of them all. Honestly I have no idea how many Skirmisher/Geomancer's I've killed. Must be well over 1,000 ogres altogether over the past couple of days. Plan on being here awhile if you are sadistic enough to camp this.

评论来自 129446

"Dinged" 1500 Geomancers on my human rogue today, still no drop. Guess I'm getting returned for having it drop on my first kill on my horde mage. Can't believe these guys still see me as their Queen after the massacre I am putting them trough every day. But hey, at least I got 3 bank chars full of Netherweave and an insane amount of enchanting mats.

评论来自 Emanuel556

Hi guys. My two cents to this.

Farmed it for two days around 4 hours each. At the beginning of my third "session" late at the second day's night it dropped from my THIRD kill.

In conclusion, if you want this formula then get ready to get sweaty. It's really a though drop. BUT extremely rewarding when you finally get it ;D

I have 3 characters that are enchanters. One of them which is my main I farmed this formula for ages. from time to time whenever I have nothing to do, I just fly there and keep killing geomancers. I can't even count the kills but they're just so many. it was boring as hell. believe me it is so many kills on my main, I got tired. and it never ever dropped.

Today i was playing my alt. feral druid. I went over there for a gruul pug. and waiting for people to come. I said okay let me fly over there and Kill some on that alt. He's enchanter too. Believe it or not, It dropped for me in first kill. LOL I might change him to my main now for WotLK! HAHA ;p

Actually it is not that bad!

Skirmishers and Geomancers spawn at the same points in a ratio of about 4:1. As you kill the Geomancers preferentially I got a rate of about 25% Geomancers. Mine dropped after about 25 Geomancer kills, so about one hundred kills overall.

Under the bridge at the north end of the Bloodmaul Grounds is the perfect spot. No Brewmasters and only one wolf. By the time you kill them all there are repops. You will never get more than one at a time unless you have an unfortunate repop mid-battle. Even then two are easy enough as they have no special tricks. Even my sad holy priest found this easy.

Can I just say how sad it is killing these ogres. Maybe I'm the only one, but even when a computer-generated virtual being says things like:

"King <name>, me die now."
"King think... there really is... an Ogri'la?"
"Me honored... king kill me."

It makes me want to 1) Not kill those mobs and 2) Burst into tears.

If only Blizzard wanted to, they could up the ante by making the ogres not even attack you while you're killing them - just accept their fate and be honored their king/queen is killing them. I would probably avoid ever farming this recipe for fear of losing it and crying hysterically.

Note: The ogres only perform such emotes when said player is Neutral or higher with Ogri'la.

Happy (or sad) farming.

Farming this took me literally three days of about 10 hours each day, when i was about to give up i said ill do one more round of kills, and got it when fighting two Geo's and a Skirmish. I got three Boe blues and a bunch of greys, greens and netherweave. Thank god im done though...

Just got mine today. Took a total of 10 hours of grinding over three days. I just about wanted to smash my laptop into pieces towards the end of it.

One thing to note: Do not go killing the Bloodspire Shamans. At first glance they look like Geomancers. Easy way to tell... Geomancers have two heads, the Shamans have just the one. That and looking at the name in the unit frame.. /lol

Recently took up Enchanting to get me some nice ring enchants and hopefully a little added income through fee's and enchanting mats. Searched wowhead for recipies I could farm, that does not require any reputation with a faction, and this came up along with http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22551 in Netherstorm. Read some comments, figured I would farm for days with my luck, so I stocked up on food and crap, and started hitting buttons in Netherstorm. Boom, 3rd mob, I was THRILLED! But then again, I read that this enchant would be the worst, so I once again prepared myself for many hours of farming. I mashed away, and look at that, the 3rd mob won again! Guess it's just one of those days, huh?:p

Spent 5 hours farming for this....never dropped...really frustrating. Killed each mob as it spawned and ran around like crazy killing geomancers, I just logged off because it's such a ridiculous drop.

评论来自 179467

i only killed the geomancers ignoring the wolfs and other mobs (there seems to be 1 or 2 geomancers walking around any given time).

kill the geomancer and begin running around scouting both sides until you see the geomancer again (i had the feeling they spawned instant after killed one). i repeated that over and over again and it dropped just over 60min killing the geomancers.

This must have been the most horrible grind I've ever done in the game. It took me over 1200 geomancer kills to get it and over two months (with grinding sessions of about 2 to 3 hours). At one point I actually seriously considered writing a ticket to see if I didn't have an error in my character that made me appear not an enchanter.

Always kill the skirmishers as well - I had quite a few circles where there weren't any Geomancers around, only skirmishers.

It finally dropped - of course, just passing through when on my way to Gruul and from the first Geomancer I kill) - and made me happy.

Just be ready for a long and ardeous grind for this one, though the end result is worth it.

this is the worst recipe to grind out of all the BOP Enchanting recipes. If you are on a high pop server then be prepared to grind for weeks trying to get this. if you are on a low pop server then it will be easier. My suggestion is do a few clears and if there is no drop just go do something else for the day. I limited myself to one session of grinding there a day, each session lasting around 1 or 2 hours. I got this recipe on the fifth session.

Be prepared and pace yourself.

Finally dropped for me today. I am so relieved I have to post here, even though I have not much to add to what has already been said.

I camped my character in Bloodmaul Ravine and logged in 3 or 4 times a day just to clear one round of Geomancers. I even made a habit of doing a round over breakfast, how sad is that? I think I averaged 5 to 7 geomancers per round, so after a solid month I must easily have killed 300 of them.

When I finally decided to dedicate an entire night to grinding the geomancers and skirmishers, it dropped after 30 minutes.

I was so happy... until I discovered I didn't even have the mats to do this enchant on myself...

I'm relieved to know it can drop, but still, this is one of the most torturing grinds I have had to endure in 3 years of WoW. The problem with grinding low drop rate items, that as long as it doesn't drop, you haven't advanced anything. I'd take a reputation grind anytime over this.

...337 skirmishers
101 geomancers

all this info just from addon on 1 computer. doesnt account for grinding on other computers.(which i do frequently)

OMFG LOL i was just reading on how it took some of you 30-300 kills for this stupid enchant and some of my friends farmed it for weeks... i dropped in and got it on the first kill... SO EXCITED!

评论来自 catseye

I also prepared myself for a long farming period, until the enchant dropped on the 2nd kill. After reading all your comments how long the grind can be, I'm so happy I don't have to do that also.

I wish you guys / girls all the luck with farming this enchant.

just to say that mine dropped for me on the ramp up to Sylvanaar, it dropped from a geomancer.

评论来自 202575

Wow I suppose I got lucky, took me about 4 hours and I only had to kill 120 geomancers and little over 400 skirmishers. I made about 250g from drops, netherweave cloth and some random crap drops

I've been grinding this item for about 2 days now in 6 hour sessions each. It just dropped for me after 12 hours and 33 minutes exactly.

In the mean time I obtained:

Pathfinder's Band & the Netherscale Breastplate recipe :)

Unless your guild needs these/you need this

I REALLY would not bother with the grind.

Wow that has to be the worst farm ever! Took me two weeks and 532 Skrimishers and 394 geomancers but now I got it.

i just farmed this formula late last night. i was probably lucky, as it only took me an hour--but i did take notice of the comments that said to kill the skirmishers. as i did my circuit, if i noticed a nice clump of skirmishers, i would be sure to aoe them so that by the next circuit when i came around they had a chance to respawn into geomancers.

评论来自 64784

For all of you who have been lucky i hope you die! well maybe that may be a bit harsh but this has to have been by far the worst enchant grind i have ever made. Yes kill the skirmishers and any alliance you see in the area, helps the frustration. I started counting kills but found it was easier to count the hours, only about 20 grinding this b%*&ch out, but at 366 enchanting with my raid set and my pvp set i figure hawking this one will take me to 375 before the next expansion. Gl to those who persue this damnable enchant, I got so woot! :P

Thankfully after patch 3.0 this recipe will be unnecessary!

Compare Bracer - Spellpower to Bracer - Superior Healing - and rejoice, fellow enchanters.

Just in time for these to be replaced with the new WotLK enchants. :)

after several months of farming and innumerable kills (speakin of which does anyone know of an addon that can keep track of how many ya killed and so on?) i still haven't had this chant drop... anyone want to volunteer to help grind for it? we could work in shifts :)(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Thulm##DELIM##

once again bliz screw the ones who went out and farmed the enchant ... thanks blizz

评论来自 tbone844

As of 3.0 patch

This is now the same enchant as Enchant Bracer - Superior Healing. Both give +15 spell power.

Even though its not so nice anymore, I got it on 50th kill... call me lucky :)

Still nice if u need to skill your enchanting tho

Got mine today around 44,64. Tried to avoid Skirmishers and kill only Geomancers. Ended up killing about 14 Skirmishers and 10 Geos before it dropped. Hope everyone is as lucky.

评论来自 171419

Mine dropped after approximately 9 Geomancers. This means either
a) I am fortunate, or
b) The droprate was upped along with other old world recipes in recent patches.

I'd suggest giving it a try if you're a completionist, all I did was circle around Bloodmaul Outpost gunning down every single Skirmisher and Geomancer I saw (these two mobs share a spawn table, so get them both).

评论来自 nopiscougar

I killed all 8 geo's i cld find so i started killing all the others since i was bored. i tried to keep count but i forget. got it in under 20 geomancer kills tho. happy hunting.

评论来自 lolitu94

Killed like 4-5 mobs while i was leveling and this formula droped. I wasnt going to loot it until some of my guild mates told me how rare this formula is. :) I'm enchanter now

评论来自 thelovefool

Just farmed this up, took about 4 cycles of killing the buildings/town, up the side with the zig zag ramp to alli town, and back down the other side. I'd guess somewhere between 20-30 geomancer kills. Not as much a guarantee as say the recipes in Karazhan, but seems like a safe bet they up'd the rate a little bit.

评论来自 LionsDen

Also got this fairly quickly. 4th Geomancer killed. They may have raised the drop rate from previously, was not difficult at all to farm up.

评论来自 Stok3d

Well, I remember that I lvl'd 65 to 70 grinding these guys and 2 or 3x other occasions of 4-8x hours a day back in 2007-2008.

Decided to give it a shot again today. Probably killed 50x or so Geo's in about 45mins and to my disbelief it dropped. Maybe the 'bug' was fixed. Give it a shot again if you found it impossible in the past.

评论来自 castorjay

Strange thing happened to me while farming this.

I fly out to the area and all of the ogres and wolves are yellow/neutral to me. I farm for about 2 hours and never get the pattern. I exit the game and come back to find that the mobs are red/hostile to me now. I get the pattern on my 2nd kill.

Could be (and likely is) very coincidental, but strange indeed.

评论来自 37500

I'm sure this was in the patch notes somewhere and I missed it, but they appear to have dramatically upped the droprate for outland enchanting patterns. While sitting in LFR queue, I noticed that I was missing a bunch of older recipes from this toon I'd leveled in Wrath. In under 20 kills TOTAL (not even of each NPC), I got:

公式：附魔武器 - 特效法术能量
公式：附魔护腕 - 法术能量
Formula: Enchant Cloak - Greater Shadow Resistance
公式：附魔武器 - 特效智力
and 公式：附魔护腕 - 强效躲闪

Don't fear the farm, they're quick and painless now.

Update for 9 Feb 2019:

Dropped in Blade's Edge Mountains, Bloodmaul Outpost, from a Bloodmaul Geomancer. As per the comment from krmtdfrog, I noted I hadn't acquired the Patterns he listed, as he himself had not. So I started following his list - and acquired (Formula: Enchant Bracer - Spellpower) after only 6 kills, selectively picking off just the Geomancers. There are at least 5 scattered around the area of the Outpost. While not a 100% guaranteed drop, the drop rate has to be quite high, a very easy grind even while being the same level as the mobs.

评论来自 onefreakycoppa

Still drops. Lucky enough from the first 血槌地卜师 I killed.

评论来自 skyline33

Still drops, 5 kills but took a long time. If no Geomancers are up, kill the Skirmishers and hope the respawn is okay. Took me a few hours to even get 5 kills...
