Got it on the 5th Spell-Thief. Took me about 30mins. Right where the map said it was, thank you wowhead!

Btw, I never could get the +30 one from MC, it always went to an officer so it would stay in the guild until they left. So I went out and got this one at level 63 for myself. Mutiny!

It's definitely a low % drop (0.5-1.0%), but it's from the Spell Thief as mentioned. To the best of my knowledge there were 4 static spawn locations, 1 frequent patrol and 1 uncommon patrol.

Killing the other spawns in other locations will not cause more Spell Thief mobs to appear, so it's up to you if you want to bother with them, but I definitely recommend keeping those nagging beasts dead as they tend to muck with your kills.

Finally got the Formula on the last kill of the night (which was actually declared BEFORE I got the drop) - 4am after ~3-4 hours of grinding this spot over the course of two days.

1 roamer inside the camp and there is one roaming outside on the north east.

There is 4 more mobs all by the little sort of market stalls by the edge.

I just avoided the annoying "HP's of Ragnaros" beasties, they don't aggro while red if you shoot the mob next to them so I just looted the corpses when they went yellow.

As a mage the beasties are one of the most annoying mobs I have seen, tons of hit points, fast little buggers as well. I had no where to kite them and they disrupt my casting like no ones business :/

I did 15% of lvl 70 last night killing these.

I have killed around 300 now, still waiting for the drop :(

I can confirm 4 fixed spawns and
1 normal patol from the center of the camp and south
1 uncommon patrol ourtside the camp north east
1 very uncommon patrol north of the camp, patrolling south

Ages to grind. Probably around 12 hours. I'm tailor, so I made sure to kill the other mobs as well, as they drop Netherweave at a reasonable rate. I'm a mage, but I imagine these tips will help anyone to grind here.

Make sure to display NPC names always.

The little annoying runts change from hostile to neutral in a very predictable way. When they run up to a purple "candle" (a purple beam will pop up between the runt and the stick), they'll grow in size and turn hostile. So watch for the areas where these candles stand. Furthermore, their patrol pattern is fairly predictable (can you tell I spent hours there?), so you can basicly avoid them all the time, as they drop fairly bad things. While I did get jumped once or twice (or maybe ten times), it's much easier and quicker grinding when you can skip these mobs (since they move so fast, they're annoying for mages, and they have fairly high HP).

Can anyone confirm that this drops from the guys in Bash'ir... I heard that it does but just looking for a confirmation, because it is a lot easier to farm up there.

This is looking to be similar to a new crusader, but worse (or, kinda, better), as it cannot be sold on the AH, cutting down on the farms but upping the aggravation for those who want it.

I guess it's the Spellbinder Tower all over again, but without the annoying gold diggers just wanting to AH it.

I'll start this tonight. Killed a couple yesterday, but no luck.

In general having most of the formulas BoP is a mixed blessing. They don't all get farmed by just everybody... but they also don't appear on the AH at all, whatever the price.

6 Hours farming last night and so far an hour today... nothing... during that time, three others have gotten their bloody enchant....

Bloody drop rate is terrible....

Comentado por 17526

Not too bad, it dropped after 98 kills.

Get an addon that tracks how many times you've killed some type of mob. I use SW Stats. It helps keep you sane because you can do the math figure out how many you need to kill before you have like a 95% chance to have gotten it. Then you just farm and chances are it will drop long before that number have been killed. And since you have the counter it sort of gives you a sense of progress rather than just feeling like it's pointless and forever.

So if drop rate for something = 0.7 % then 200 kills is a net 75% and 400 is 95%.

Have fun.

Was planning on a long campaign grind for this one. Even got out a pad of paper to track the kills and to keep me sane. But then it went and dropped on my 5th mob. Very lucky. (at 355 enchanting)

I found it much easier to use the flying mount to land in the spikey rocks and attack the spell-theif from there. He will find a path up so you can loot, and will usually bring along another humanoid mob, but the little beasties stay home; so I found it much more manageable.

Also of note: I could not seem to find a way to attack him from on top of the tents, perhaps due to the angle of attack being almost straight down. Stick to ranged attack from the rocks FTW.

About one and a half hour of farming and I got it. At two spots outside of the "town", south and east there are mobs patrolling. Sometimes Spell-Thieves, so kill mobs there to have a chance of spawning a Spell-Thieve

40 minutes of farming.

Mind you, the droprate also takes into account every single non-enchanter kill. If it "drops" for a non-enchanter they'd never know.

Remember that this is bop!! You can't "farm" it and then sell it. Only enchanters will try to obtain this and ofc only once... Took me 44 kils to get it, btw.

Comentado por 20299

Wow, I got really luck on this one. 15 seconds before restart it finally droped. I have a theory that I will be checking on these BoP formulas, I farmed these guys hardcore before I was 350 enchanting. My theory is, MAYBE, the drop rate improves once you have the required skill. I killed about 200, then I went and skilled up and hit 350, soon as I got back it droped on the 22nd kill. I could have just got lucky, but I will be testing this theory with the other BoP in blades edge.

Comentado por raffaj

Very low drop rate. I had to kill 280 before i got it. I found it best to stand where the Prince was so that way you were close to four of the spawns. These mobs have a very good drop rate of netherweave also, so if your a tailor/enchanter it's all good.

Comentado por aiacos

Got it today after 3 days of farming and 301 kills (im a protection warrior).
If are 70 is easy to farm this place cos u can fly behind every mob without aggro all the rest. For what i experienced i suggest this: watching the screenshot posted keep clear te area with circles, especially the circle on the right. A patrol will randomly spawn near another spell-thief, so u have 6 mobs instead of 5!
Good luck everyone...

Just got mine on my 140'th kill.

I killed 75 lvl 68's and 65 lvl 67's and it dropped off a lvl 68. I don't know if this is a coincedence but when farming sunfury signets i killed 1,400 lvl 68 eradicators and 1,200 lvl 67's. I recieved 5 blues from the 68's and 2 recipies and only recieved green gear from the 67's.

I have a theory that it's the even numbered mobs that drop the good stuff.

Comentado por 24999

Do you need to have your enchanting above 350 in order to see this drop? Or just have the enchanting skill?

Comentado por 32584

I've spent a few scattered hours doing this before, but today I spent 8 hours camping (only one break to repair) and it finally dropped. Remind me how this is fun?

Comentado por ThoSenk

Dropped for me after the 2nd Spell-Thief. I guess I used up my luck for the next two years ;)

Comentado por Vachyr

Well I finally got this enchant a few days ago. I went non-stop on it for about two days, netting well over 400 kills in the two days and finally got it to drop.

You will quickly discover the static spawn locations, so just cover those and I would recommend killing the pats out in front of the camp by the road as they sometimes pop the spell-thiefs also. It was actually one of these that I got my enchant off of.

Now to tackle to geomancers.....uck

Comentado por 36345

Exactly as the image given here ( https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/screenshot=view&3.22555#17569 ), the spell-thieves spawn. Although I must add that one extra patrol exists occasionally just south of the right-side patrol indicated in the picture, right before the "gate" into the Razaani landing.

I got mine after 117 kills. They are pretty fast to farm, as all locations can have a spell-thief at the same time.

As a mage, it was quite easy to down them very quickly as long as you keep the surrounding areas clear. It is best to clear the areas between their spawn times, as usually following the kill of all the different locations there is a pause between their respawn.
Nothing, except for the patrol locations, seem to share the spawn spot with anything else. No need to "clear" the spawn spots in that sense, but it makes things easier for you once a spell-thief spawns.

The drop-rate % is a tad under 1% as stated, and it occured to at almost that exact rate.

Comentado por Wolfeh

It might take a while to get this recipe, but it is worth it in the end. Farmed them for myself and got lucky, if you can call 37 thieves lucky. Then helped a friend and it took about 100 of them.

Right now the enchant does not have any glow connected to it.

I starting grinding for this as soon as I hit 350 enchanting... in mid- to late-February. I FINALLY got it mid-April. I probably spent a total of eight or ten hours grinding these guys.

For patch 2.1, this will drop off level 70-71 mobs. This will make the grind a bit harder, although it'll be interesting to see what the new drop rate will be.

The drop rate for this enchant has been increased in the latest patch. I don't know by how much, but I farmed mine up solo in the new location after about 20 minutes.

I spent somewhere around 14 hours farming it the original location with friends prior to the patch with no luck.

It took me about 100 kills or so at the post 2.1 spot. Before 2.1 I had killed well over 500 and didn't get the drop. Very satisfying to finally have it.

Comentado por 61701

I am not convinced that the Raazani actually drops this.

I spent several days killing a few hundred with no luck.

I switched to the other location and killed about 10 Bash'ir to get it.

I definately believe the Bash'ir have a much higher drop rate.

Comentado por 6638

25 kills on the Bash'ir thieves. Much better than the last time I took a stab at farming the formula. They're also a lot easier to cherry-pick. Only had to kill an extra 2-3 mobs on each circuit around the 8-10 spawns.

Anecdotally, I'd say the drop rate is a lot better. I found a Depleted Badge that I sold for 2500g too, though, so I think I was just lucky :P

Took me 161 kills to get it, as the others have said before, drops from Bash'ir Spell-Thieves in BEM
About 0,6% dropchance based on my experience :D
But it do not take that long, most of them can be pulled without clearing around them, just fly around circling the inner area, do not bother with the one out in the open. In this circle there is 14 Spell-Thieves, all either lvl 70 or 71.
As a frostmage (0/0/61) with over 1000 spelldamage I could kill all 14 in the circle, and have a short break to reconjure water every time I came to my start point, before respawns.

In total it took me 2-3 hours to get it, not that bad.

Comentado por 71624

Took me about 50 kills. I just kept to the middle of the place (there's a huge rock) and walked around it picking off the spell-thieves with mind blast as shadow priest. Worked well for me.

A couple seconds into the fight they'll put up a 20% magic damage reduction buff, but it's not a huge problem. They have low health (below 6000) and basically never use their magic pool, so they're easy kills for their level.

They also drop Apexis Shards and I guess it was just luck, but I got three random greens from them while I was there apart from the formula.

Comentado por 58652

I farmed the Razaani guys for 3 hours and didn't get a drop. I decided to switch over to the Bash'ir guys since alot of people here said they got their drops from em. So I flew over and started farming and got the drop in an hour. It was nicer farming the Bash'ir guys due to them respawning by the time you make a full circle. You can pull one at a time with no fear of pulling extras.

I definitely recommend farming the Bash'ir guys over the Razaani.

Comentado por 33173

How to do get this formula pre-70 without a flying mount:

To get there: Ride north up the road in BEM that leads to Netherstorm, and when it veers east toward the bridge into Netherstorm, continue going north to edge of the world. Climb through the blades there on the eastern end of the Crystal Spire area until you get the msg 'Discovered Crystal Spire'. Then suicide or fall off the ledge into space, die, and you'll rez at the Crystal Spire gy. Spirit rez, wait 10min for the rez sickness to wear off, then make your way from the gy west, along the southern border of the ravine, until you get to the Bash'ir camp at the western end.

I did this on my 67 lock to both grind levels there and farm the Major Spellpower recipe, got it after about 2hrs farming it.

What to bring: Lots of buffs, and lots of hit rating gear, since the mobs in this area are 70-72: lots of scroll, pot, elixer, weapon oil, cooked food, etc. buffs. Lots of bandages and stacks of Netherweave to make more, and lots of high lvl vendor food since you'll have a lot of downtime b/t pulls (if you do this at 67, at least). I had +70 hit rating, +600 spell dmg (with buffs), ~8000hp, and had to limit myself to the 70-71 mobs, could barely survive a lvl 72 one. Also, collect Apexis Shards from your kills (most mobs here can drop them, including the Bash'ir), and every 10, go to the Bash'ir Crystalforge just outside the main camp (north side of valley) at 54.4,10.8 and make Unstable Flask of the Sorcerer: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=32601

I believe the drop rate is higher than what WoWhead says. It took me and another mage around 20 minutes to get two, and a guildie who grinded it also told me it only took him 20 minutes.

The reason the rate drop is so low, is because this is a BoP formula, therefore only enchanter are able to see the drop.

If a person with the wowhead looter doesnt have enchanter as a profession, he will not see it, and the wowhead will regist his kills for the rate.

We cant be sure on the % of the drop of this formula, it took me about an hour, but with the formula for +30 intelect it was very quick to drop. i would say 5% but we cant be sure.

The rate on all BoP one tip of mob drop formulas is higher than was is stated on wowhead. heres some of them:

Drop rate is higher than listed on the site.
This is because Wowhead takes into account kills of the mobs by people who can't see the plan.

Gave up after 3 and a half hours, 400 kills. I'll try again another time when they aren't being so stingy. Oddly enough I ended up with a boatload of prison keys - 15 during my run. Also 8 greens, 15 stacks of netherweave cloth and a half dozen greys. Now if they could drop the damn recipe I'd be happy.

Competition isn't bad in this area now. Since most people are exalted with Shattered Sun, only die hard daily quest runners or alts are running this area now. I was here on friday night and only ran into 6 people the entire time, and they were all doing the daily so they 'phased' after a few kills'.

It should be noted that these spell-thief mobs have FIXED spawn points. They will always spawn at the same spots, which is good and bad. Good in that you know where they will be, and bad in that it means there are a fixed number of mobs that can be up at any one time. So feel free to skip other mobs, as it won't affect how many spawn. I counted 14-15 in total across the area in question.

Comentado por 117994

Lucky for me I guess, I was on my usual daily trip, and the formula dropped for me, a pleasant surprise. It was only the third or fourth time i had done the "Maintaining the Portals" daily, so i couldnt have killed to many of the things before that.

Just do your daily's and good things will come, i have gotten a couple blue Jewel Crafters formulas that sold for about 180g ea off the Island daily's.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I got mine after 4 days of farming. Maybe I had been killed over 1000 spell-thiefs. The problem of the area is, this is one of the questing area. For my 4 days of farming, I usually beg the alliance who came to do the qeust not to kill the spell-thiefs or I can party with them to help them quest. However, some people just insane! I had met some people who not kill whatever they seem killable but also trying to compete with me on those spell-thiefs i targeted. I know, it's just one of them out of like 40-50 ppl i met in that area. However, it's worse enough that i rather just call the day and do something else. Also, as there're about 4 static spawn spots and couple random one out there. If we have more than 1 person farming that area, I will just leave as it's definitely not worth the long waiting time. Especially, if another competitor is in opposite faction in a pvp server who may have friends coming to take care of you :)

Anyway, it's a very good enchant before those raid drop and just keep in faith then eventually you will get it :)

I was 2 boxing these guys for 3 days straight. 4 1/2 hrs the first day, 3 hrs the next day, and yesterday for about 2 hrs. My rogue was doing the killing and picking up loot, my pally (who is the enchanter) was just standing back healing. I was looting from rogue an was moving to the next spot where the dude spawns and felt like giving my rogue a heal. I switched over to pally and healed and noticed that there was still loot on the body. So I walk over and low and behold, the enchant is there!

Conclusion:
-Only enchanters can pick up the enchant.
-Unless your very lucky, you will be spending 8 to 10 hrs to farm this enchant.
-Good luck getting this with all the competition. Who knows if the horde that kept on stealing my kills got it in the first hour or two...
-Make sure you farm with a healing class. Mob aggro is a pain even at lvl 70.

At my first try for farming this I killed more mobs than I could keep count of during four and a half hour before I gave up.

A couple of days later (a saturday) I went up there quite early in the morning with my sights set to farm all day if I had to.

To by big surprise it dropped on the first kill! :D

With a stated droprate of 0,76% above you'd have to kill ~131,57 mobs to be guaranteed a drop. With the mobs I killed the first day that could actually be quite right (not that it's "saved" for me or anything like that, just statistically), since I'm a prot pala, thus not killing each mob very quickly and I also had some minor pauses for loo, grabbing a bite, manabreak etc.

Contrary to all you lucky folks that "read where it was got it 1st kill!111", I had to farm my butt off for this. Yes, it does drop off the Razzani Spell-Thiefs.

At least it's BoP so it won't be camped by gold farmers.

FYI I probably spent about 15 hours non-stop farming this thing...got tons of enchanting mats from greens that dropped and about 50 stacks of Netherweave as well, so it's not a total loss. If you grind here in your high 60s, you'll get a fair amount of XP which leaves more quests available for cash rewards at 70 as well.

But patch 2.1 is making the other clan of spell-theifs drop it too

Comentado por Allakhazam

As of the upcoming patch 2.1, these will no longer be found on the Razaani Spell-Thieves, but instead on the Bash'ir Spell-Thieves, at Bash'ir landing, also in Blade's Edge. To reach them, you must be flight capable. It is north of Gruul's Lair, to the far west of the shelf. The drop rate is (supposably) going to be improved greatly, but you will need to be 70 (or a druid 68+) to get. So all you lower levels, might wanna try farming for these now, or you'll have to wait.

I also must not be as lucky as some of you guys who got this pattern so easily. Took me about 10 hours of farming the same 5 mobs over 2 days only to finally get it off a level 68 (the one that spawns on the bottom behind the portal and to it's right). Hope the rest of you have an easier time getting it than I did. Good luck!

Though the drop rate is low, its not that bad, good place to farm.

Farmed it last night on Scarlet, I wish I were lucky enough to be posting a "I killed but X of them and it dropped, ha-ha, I'm cooler than you" Rather, I killed nearly 300 of them before it dropped. Got over 200 Netherweave Cloth, 10 or so greens, and after selling vendor trash, came back with about 130g. You'll also want to snag the Wraith things there whenever you can because they almost always drop a Mote of Mana. Its profitable enough I might just go back and farm there.

Oh, and I was kinda confused as to where they drop, its the Bash'ir Spell-Thief's that you want... Not those other !@#$%s... Wasted like half an hour before I figured that out.

Farmed it 6 hours and 160k unrested XP yesterday, part of the time with a friend. Didn't drop.

This morning I figured "I have 4 hours, might as well try to farm it and grind some XP", rode to the camp and saw a lone spell-stealer outside the camp... and he dropped it. Took me about 15 seconds of farming today.

So i was farming these guys for like 30min so i decided to look on allakhazam. I saw a post about that talisman of treasure or whatever...i went and bought it just to see if it works. 5 kills after i bought the necklace this pattern dropped

Comentado por Allakhazam

Talisman doesn't work its BS and a waste of 35 gold i killed over 200 and no drop

Comentado por Allakhazam

Seems strange to me that whenever I went to farm up my patterns for enchanting... none would EVER drop for me until I had the skill to USE THE ENCHANT. Once I was the right skill to do the enchant, the pattern seemed to drop pretty easily, within 30 or so kills for the 4 patterns I went farming for.

Seems strange to me that I killed hundreds before I was 350 skill and no drop, but a mere 25-30 kills after I hit 350 skill and it drops.

Anyone else think it's a coincidence?

Ever since, I have made sure I can use the enchant, and I get my patterns in a decent timeframe.

Having said that, the Bracer Spellpower enchant took me 15 minutes.

Comentado por Thottbot

BlxFrostwhisper, Yes it does drop when you are not skilled enough. And that goes for other BoP tradeskill related things aswell.

Comentado por Thottbot

I'd never successfully farmed an enchant, including the hours and hours I spent trying Crusader, until I got the +15 spell damage to bracers off of the second geomancer I killed (I chalk this up to Crusader karma). Then I ran off to kill Sunfury Researchers, and after maybe four hours pulled off the +30 int to weapons. -I'm still L 67, and did both of these solo.

I've put in about 4 hours trying these guys so far with no luck, but that's the odds for you! Besides, if you really go out and farm every single enchant you can, you're bound to have at least one go well I figure.

These guys are particularly painful though (I have to imagine especially at L 67), you get totally overrun with mobs if you're not careful. Always take the time to kill the stupid slimy little things, they may be yellow now, but they're just waiting for you to engage two other mobs before they attack.

Comentado por Thottbot

just to add something to it...the patrols outside the camp seems to share spawnpoint between the 3 different kind of razaani mobs there is, so killing them migth spawn a spell-thief as well...:)

Comentado por Thottbot

before you start farming for this make sure you are an enchanter! why do i say this? because i have encountered several people who said they were trying to get it for guildmates. people it is a BOP item, which means once you get it, it's yours, soulbound, untradeable etc.

{ok the above has been disputed..some people say if you're not an enchanter it's not bop..but i can't confirm since i'm an enchanter - if someone can shed some light :) )

ok, secondly: make sure you're ready for the long haul. don't be cajoled by people who tell you they got it in 10 minutes. some people buy one ticket and win the lottery - this isn't going to be you. it's a less than 1% (some say .5%) drop rate. That's for each kill - you're not getting 'closer' to it every hour. Read about Gambler's Fallacy if you're not convinced.

finally, some specifics. you don't need 350 enchanting for this to drop, many people with less have gotten it. you only need to kill spell-thieves. nothing else. there are 5 of them PLUS 2 more random spawns to the north, for a total of 7 possible. The random spawns are patrolls around 68,42. If you don't see spell-thieves there, kill the other 2 mob types and eventually spell thieves will re-spawn. Since you'll most likely be doing a 'circuit' of the place for hours and hours, make sure you spend the downtime not waiting for the 5 to spawn by killing pats at 68,42 (north of camp). Don't tell me you don't have the time - if you're farming this, trust me, you got the time!

even more finally - be level 70 and have a flying mount. you want to fly from spot to spot to minimize aggro. it's already painful enough, i can't imagine walking this.

If you don't already know it the locations of the 5 predictable spawns are:

65,43 - Three spell thieves. stand by the bush in the middle to minimize adds. if you face the wall you'll have 2 to the left (1 pat which spawns and then starts walking around, kill this first) and one to the right. the one on the right will have an add. if you time it right you can kill the add mob first on the next spawn and split the spawn cycle so you only get one at a time.

67,44 - one spell thief here, well protected by 2 pat raiders (have to time it) plus fiends which are random.

67,42 - one spell thief. try to get on the hill behind him. After you kill this one, check for the random spell thief pats to the north, if they're not there, kill pats and maybe they'll spawn next time.

and...

68,42 - random spell thief location. kill mobs here to try and force re-spawn of spell-thieves. There are 2 possible here.
rinse..repeat.

ps. I do not have this yet. I have killed over 500 of these things.

Enchant Weapon- Major Spellpower enchant has been stolen from the Razaani spell thieves by the Bash'ir spell thieves. The Bash'ir are more likely to have the recipe than the Razaani previously did, however.

Happy farming :)

Comentado por Thottbot

I just got this after previously grinding for hours on the Razaani Spell-Thief mobs on my 4th kill from the Bash'ir Spell-Thief.

I've never left a Thottbot comment before but I thought it was interesting how I got this enchant. I couldn't find much info on how to get to the area the Bash'ir spawned so I just ran around trying to get there for a while. I almost made it by hopping along some of the blade's edges but fell a bit short and plummted to my death. I googled and found on wowwiki that it said you could only reach this area by flight. Well I'm only level 68 so that was out of the question. After using the spirit healer I tried looking on the left side for a way over (in the fiery area where you do the quest to plant seeds) and died because of the res sickness pretty much overlooking Gruul's lair on one of the pointy rocks.

This time when I came back I was at a graveyard I've never been to between the words Felstorm and Point on the map which just happened to tbe the area supposedly only reachable by flight. I waited out my res sickness, walked over to around 54,15 or so and killed a few spell-thieves and voila, on the 4th kill there it was.

So it's possible to get this from the new mobs without a flying mount if you're willing to take a rez sickness hit. I hope I'm not wrong and there's no other way to get here or I'll feel pretty stupid.

Comentado por Thottbot

The trick to getting up to the area without a flying mount is as follows: Go north on the ground along the ledge at 69,21 toward the spikes bordering the northern area. Facing the area, go northwest as far as possible and jump up the spike in the corner and then down to the spike below. Keep jumping along the spikes/land northward hugging the wall as you go until you land on a piece of land where you should discover the area up north (I cant remember what it was called). After you discover it, die and res at the spirit healer. That place of land where you discovered the north area is where you need to land and die to be transported to the graveyard in the northern area. It sounds confusing but once you hit that piece of ground where you discover the area it will all make sense. Ignore the randomly landing on the spikes nonsense earlier.

here we go! 6th kill and it dropped!

Comentado por Thottbot

Dont trust these comments either. Before it dropped, I had to kill off Bash'ir thieves for 2 hours, flying with epic mount to get to locations, and using 3 spells top, to kill them as an epic geared fire mage. I dont know the exact number of kills, but you can imagine. Just learn the route, have a flying mount, and start grinding. Some people can end up grinding for days, others for hours, and the lucky ones, for minutes.

This droprate is DEFINITELY not above 2-3% when you are an enchanter, I refuse to believe that.

Comentado por Thottbot

Signed up just to post on this thread, like others above.

It's true, it is not difficult to farm out this pattern. It took a little over an hour over 2 sessions for me.

It's true, you only need to kill the Spell-Thieves. There are more of them around than you might think at first. One cluster near the edge of the camp has about 6 (including one that pats) in a relatively small area. There is a great mining node over there too, so keep an eye out for that if you're a miner. After clearing them out, mount up and fly accross the camp. There is another mining node over here with one spell theif that spawns next to it. There are a couple other places where you can find one or two spell theives together (sorry no coords, at work atm... maybe I will post when I get home, if I remember). Best way is to be 70 on flying mount, scout them out, land in the rocks avoiding aggro, and pull them one by one into the rocks to kill them. There is no reason to have to deal with more than one mob at a time, all the spell theives can be single pulled, no saps or cc required. Pull them into the rocks away from all the other mobs to kill them, should be a snap. In addition, there are at least 2 spell theives that pat on predicatable routes, so keep an eye out for them.

Good luck to all who are trying to farm this out. I'm happy to have mine!

I'm a holy priest and this is the first enchant i have successfully farmed for. Took about 1h. But I kill %^&* REALLY slow so it might have taken less for other heavy dmg classes

Comentado por Thottbot

After reading all the comments here I deiced it was time to start farming. The post that I followed was by "dijon". I found this help full and went to the location. As a holy priest I died 3 times in about 1 hour because I didn't understand that you could go in the rocks behind the mobs and fight them there.

I didn't find the Enchant so went to bed, came back next day and started farming. About 200 kills in I deiced to read the comments again because I remembered someone saying you could only get to the place with a flying mount and the place I was at, you didn't have to have flying mount.

So turns out I was farming Razaani Spell-Thief and not Bash'ir Spell-Thief with out noticing the difference. I wanted to wright this post to inform you the Bash'ir are the ones you want to farm. After reading the location of them I flew over there and on my 16th kill found it.

So DO NOT farm the location posted by "Dijon" it was help full at the time but seems they patched it and now it has higher drop rate around(50,18).

So to sum up,

Farm the area around (50,18)
Only kill Bash'ir Spell-Thief, (Click on the link for a picture of the mob and a location).
You can fly behind them in the rocks and you can safely pull only one mob at a time. Don't waste time fighting out in the open. Simply fly around the area, then find a safe location behind them in the rocks and drop down, then pull.
You can only get to the location (50,18) with flying mount. Unless you do the method posted by "velocity92c" but I would only do this if you can stealth.

Here is a picture of me fining the enchant. The mob info is from a mod called "mobinfo" it is a great mod.

This is my 1st post on this site. I read it all the time, but was never compelled to comment until this farming mission.

I have to say I am amazed at peoples' purported luck in finding this formula, since I've been farming for about 4 hours and killed probably about 200+ Bash'ir Spell-Thiefs at Bash'ir Landing with no drop as of yet. Very frustrating to say the least. I'm giving up now, and will try again tomorrow.

On a happier note, I did get the Epic gloves (Crystalhide Handwraps) and enough Apexis Shards to activate them. As great of a find as these gloves are, I would be much happier with a new Enchanting skill right now. =(

The good thing I can say about this area is that the mobs are extremely easy to take down in groups, and drop a fair amount of silver along with Netherweave and various green items. They also respawn very quickly. So if you're farming here and get snubbed on the Enchanting Formula as I did, at least you can take comfort in knowing it was not a complete loss.

Comentado por Thottbot

I also have never posted on here, although I've used it plenty, but felt the need to do so regarding this drop!

I farmed for about 3 days (about an hour and a half first day, 30 mins next and 1 hour today) and just when I was giving up hope for tonight I decided to kill two more right in the area and the LAST one dropped it! I jumped for joy!

The general idea that's given through these posts are correct. Bash'ir Spellthieves only, use flying mount to get there and sneak up behind them, no problem pulling only them. Might run into a firefly thing, ball of fire or arcanist every once in a while, but nothing you can't handle.

As for those who got the drop in just a few kills, must be nice! But for the rest of us - it does exist and it will drop! :)

I died near Gruul's Lair trying to do Massacre no Covil de Gruul and ended up at the Crystalspine graveyard, which let me get this recipe without flying. Tested a few more times and got it to work consistently near the outskirts of the ogre camp, however going further in towards the Gruul's Lair entrance respawned me at the Bladed Gulch graveyard instead. Possibly a less convoluted method than the others I've seen, although I haven't tested if it works below level 70.
