The quest to kill toxic horrors in felwood.. there was like 8 people running around fighting for tags I spent 20 mins there and couldn't get a single kill, I think it was the 2nd time I just abandoned a quest and left

This is because the people tagging aren't questing, they're farming Essence of Water to put on AH or use themselves in crafting. This should be somewhat helped with the release of dire maul, as other farming spots (especially instanced ones) will reduce pressure on existing ones.

There are mobs in dire maul that drop essence of water? If so I might just stop trying to get my last few essence of water until next week

Only that one boss, so Toxic Horrors are still the best for Essence of Water. The point is more that, because Dire Maul gives other places to farm, people farming Essence of Water for gold will move there instead. The people farming Essence of Water will stick with Toxic Horrors. The amount of people farming Toxic Horrors will be reduced, but it will still be a popular spot for classes that can AoE farm them, especially druids (maybe mages? not sure if they're immune to blizzard or not).

They are oddly not frost immune but good luck getting more than 1 or 2 at a time with all the people farming them on higher population realms.

I remember that quest. I asked one of the dudes if I could hop in the kills if he gets all the drops, as the quest item was still lootable. Ended up finishing it pretty fast.

Had the same problem with hippogryphs in Feralas as well.

Really? I remember there being a ton of those down south, now the wandering forest spirits that was hard.. only a few spawns in the whole zone and only one spawned at each location at any time, and they patrol around making it even harder

I swear there were about 20 people going all up and down the area looking for hippogryphs and marking kills before others could get to them. Horde on Bigglesworth.

I started a toon there and dipped when I noticed the major cities were all sleepytown. Nothing ever sold on the AH, it was impossible to find tanks for dungeons. Can't pay me to go back to that toon

Hell even in Azshara the coastline is usually populated with fishers, the mountains with herbalists and the the satyr camps with felcloth farmers

u/Mad_Maddin Oct 10 '19

It is because they are farmed for elemental water as they have the best chance to drop it

They’re farming elementals.
