What a terrible drop rate. I've been killing them for 2 hours and haven't gotten the recipe yet. I'm calling it a night.

For those who plan to farm them, they are CC'able. Freezing trap, scatter shot, concussive, wing clip, and silencing shot (to stop their 3 second cast meteor) all work just fine. As a marks hunter I was able to farm them while leveling a 62 pet just fine.

took me about 40 minutes to get it, lucky me I guess ;)

Комментарий от icantswim

Woohoo! It does drop = )

hang in there guys, took me a few days, but I snagged it, just be patient, like anything else it's all about luck.

Комментарий от Wader

Got it on the 5th kill, iz nize!

Комментарий от Felica

I was flying by the camp when I decided to try killing a Abyssal Flamebringers. To my surprise, the BoP recipe dropped on my first kill. Recipe is confirmed to be dropped by Abyssal Flamebringers. If you are going to farm for the recipe, please be away of the patrolling elite guards. They are pretty nasty to farmers would be :)

Aabout 5 hours farming... But didn't drop..

Комментарий от Dregor

126 kills so far over 3 sessions, no recipe. Sigh.

Комментарий от Jammie

was expecting a long farming session so i took like 60 waters, and as a holy pally it took about 1.5 mins a mob.. i guess i was lucky to get it on the 7th kill :)

Комментарий от Uthereiden

215 kills and no drop yet.

Комментарий от 25783

This dropped from the second mob i killed, lucky on this one. Now only if the blacksmithing plans would drop so easily...been farming those for days.

Комментарий от 27736

My guild decided to go for this pot, and on first kill we got the recipe :) guess we were lucky

Комментарий от Lartoon

The mats are crazy for this but i found its REALLY needed in Kara for maiden of Virtue fight. Primals plus Kara = 10g a pop. Plus it took me 4 hours of farming. Even with mats thats 2g to make. The new Fire prot pot of WoW.

Комментарий от 20307

.. And farming this as a holy priest will most likely make you end up in a mental institution.

Комментарий от 23815

Very easy. Ground it out in about 20 minutes as a holy Paladin. Throw up Fire Resist Aura and have at it.

There's a lot of herbs (Mana Thistle!) around too, so that's a nice bonus to grab while grinding this one out.

Mobs have 3 basic abilities: Fire meteor for about 800 damage, usually resisted down to 600 with 70 FR. Fire aura, does 140 damage every 3 seconds. Usually resists to half damage with 70 FR. Melee attack, hits for about 200-300. Pretty weak.

Комментарий от 18513

I got an epic before I got the recipe.
I've been farming for like 4 hours, no recipe drop.

Those pathing elites are a really bad PiTa.

sneak up on you.

Комментарий от Vesper

So far only Maiden of Virtue does holy damage?

Комментарий от 43728

I killed about 20 Abyssal Flamebrigers to get this Recipe. Good to have and helps for my guilds Maiden attempts.
There is also a rare herb node in the area which has about a short respawn rate. I picked the herb about 3-4 times before I got the recipe.
Watch out for the elites walking around. Was grinding this recipe with a hunter helping me so the elites weren't much of a problem.
If you die, the corpserun is reasonably long so try to stay alive.

Комментарий от Zaster

I really wouldn't bother with this recipe, unless a better purpose than downing the Maiden comes along.
550 kills to get this crappy thing.
A guildie farmed for 2 days to get - you've been warned! :)
Also the mats are 1 primal life, 1 primal water, 1 imbued vial, not what's listed above - seems to be per pot too

Комментарий от nite1

Took roughly 30 mins to farm for this. Not the easiest task as a pure destro-fire lock but i just cursed shadows and hit a couple shadowbolts.

Комментарий от 54898

I was farming out there for 6 hours last night prolly killed about 300 and had no luck. I know that these guys drop quest items now also and I'm wondering if that pattern is still on their drop table.

If someone has gotten this drop post 2.1 patch please post so I know to continue farming there or to figure out what mob this drop has been moved to. Thanks.

Комментарий от Blackspirit

I'm confirming the Flamebringers still drop these in 2.1. Not only that, when you get Ogri'la honored you get a quest to banish demons: the Flamebringers count towards that so you can kill two birds with one stone (which is exactly what I did).

Комментарий от Kathucka

Currently (6/28/2007), the Abyssal Flamebringers are lootable for only about one second after they die. They don't leave a normal corpse. This recipe is not worth farming until Blizzard fixes this bug.

Комментарий от Wildhorn

Since only alchemist who doesnt have it learned already can see the recipe drop, the % showed here is not really accurate.

You have to use WoW's Armory which give:

Abyssal Flamebringer Extremely Low (1% - 2%)

Комментарий от Andicous

Okay, been farming about 2h 20min without a pause. Also killed many fire elementals. No recipe yet but ___10 greens, Depleted Mace http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32671 , 3,5x primal fire, other non-gray stuff (flame spessarite, essence of fire, 3x depleted crystal focus and alot of apexis shards) and 11g 76s for gray items.
(>For herbalists: 11x mana thistles and 17x dreaming glorys.)

*sigh* 4hs, still nothing.. so unless u`re extremely bored (and have alrdeady full epic gear, 310% speed mount and many lvl 70 alts) i recommend not to farm it.
Farming this is just called "Pure Pain"

Комментарий от 22868

man, I did that banish demons quest every single day from the first day i got it to ogrila exalted and i still haven't seen a drop. I've killed a minimum of 10 Abyssals every day for the 15 demons I need. Whew, what a crappy drop rate.

Комментарий от 71087

257 kills, still no recipe.
God damn tbh!

Комментарий от 114944

Indeed, drops from Abyssal Flamebringers, got mine at first kill though, pretty lucky i guess.

Was doing the daily Cooking quest (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11379 ), which requires to be near a Abyssal Flamebringer's corpse to cook up the Demon Broiled Surprise.

Комментарий от 72318

16 flamebringers later, managed to loot the recipe. 6.25% droprate for me.

Комментарий от idiocy

drop rate is way low on it 2 days 2hrs each day for it to drop

Комментарий от 172943

pretty ridiculous been about 3 hours well over 200 kills i cant believe some ppl got this in less than a 100 kills.

Комментарий от 172943

4 hours in counting over 300 guys killed about to give up,

Комментарий от 170065

I did at least 4 full clears of the forge camp before I got this recipe. I find it kinda ridiculous that Blizz didn't add a cauldron for this recipe as well -_-

Комментарий от 180977

While killing the mob for cooking daily this dropped... First kill. =) Keep up your fight! You never know when they will drop.

Комментарий от parkscarzonroof

post 3.0

Doing the shat cooking daily in the area and testing Glyph of Siphon Life i got this to drop in 3 pulls, downed 10 max.

Being an enchanter as well i have farmed 40SP to weapon as well as 30 int, this was by far the fastest yet.

*drops two penny's and runs away*

Комментарий от Kokiron

Got mine in about 15 minutes of killing them. I didn't even know about the recipe until I went to do the Shatt cooking daily and had to look up where to find these guys lol >>

Комментарий от Kattiara17

Not sure if the drop rate has been reduced, but I went to farm this today and it's been several hours and no luck yet. Killed several hundred of the mobs, looted 118 Apexis Cystals, and collected 5 stacks of Nightmare Vine from the two spawn points on either end of the camp so far while grinding..

Комментарий от mrogue

Probably the most annoying BC BoP recipe I have been cursed to farm for.

Here is the list of downfalls:

The flamebringers are so spread out, you can't round them up and AoE down.
If you have a flying mount, those flak cannons will shoot you, enfluging you in a DoT that does 1,000 damage every second for ten seconds if it hits you. 10,000 HP is still a chunk for a 80 if you're not a tank. Secondly, the cannonballs knock you back. To counter this, you are restricted to your ground mount or speed boosts such as nitro boosts or Sprint.
Loot. They don't drop anything other than between 2-20 silver and Apexis shards. Once in a while, I get trash or uncommon quality item. I only made about 200g from them, the majority from looting money.
Drop rate. It's really terrible. Out of all the BC BoP recipes I've farmed for, this was the worst. I spent 8 hours farming before it dropped in comparsion to others (30-40 kills usually resulted in the recipe).

I lost count how many flamebringers I have killed, but it must be over 500. About 200g from looting, 241 apexis shards, 67 depeleted crystals, and one BoP recipe.

This green, or uncommon quality recipe, should be eligible for an upgrade in quality. Epic would fit the bill rather well seeing how much work it takes to get the recipe.

Комментарий от 815826

Ok, it took me 144 kills to get the recipe. about 2-3 hr grind. good for herbalists, I raised my skill about 20 points while there picking up the various herbs in the area.

Комментарий от 735207

You can combine farming this with doing the daily version of Banish the Demons, which helps make it a little more tolerable. It dropped for me from an Abyssal Flamebringer that I banished, so I can confirm it's lootable from banished Flamebringers.

For the record, it took me about 35 kills for the recipe to drop, which is about in the middle of kills it took me to acquire the recipes for Major Arcane Protection (hundreds) and Major Shadow Protection (5)

Комментарий от 649042

This dropped for my warrior today after less than 100 kills. Far easier to obtain than its Arcane and Shadow counterparts regardless of fewer mobs and their spread out distribution.

Комментарий от 870975

240 kills a talk with a GM to ensure it was still there and it finally dropped, so the drop rate is pretty dead on.

Комментарий от TimeTrap

As an 85 this grind is horrible. It's easy enough to kill all the mobs in the area in a matter of minutes, but waiting for them all to re-spawn is killer boring.

Комментарий от xmanii

Took me about 5 hours, and it dropped on the 340th mob. Just so you know it still drops

Now on to the next item on my list....

Комментарий от brudarek

Got it after maybe 20 kills, man the other comments had me worrying :)

Комментарий от 928254

I can confirm this still drops as of patch 5.0.5. The re-spawn rate seems to have been upped a little, or maybe it's just my perception. If you're lvl 90, you're in no danger of dying unless you go afk in the wrong spot. Just kill all the Abyssals, alt tab and read Wowhead forums or something for a few minutes, then go kill them all again. You'll eventually get it. Took me just over an hour.

Комментарий от 1068566

Well i came prepared to be here for hours, after reading the comments, dropped down killed one and it dropped! =)

Комментарий от revrob

Dropped on 5th kill.

Комментарий от Isleadur

Just to confirm, this does still drop in 6.2.3 Although it is tedious to obtain, It is a very good feeling to see it drop after countless of hours farming.

Комментарий от Kaljen

I can confirm that this recipe still drops (as of 22 April 2016). Probably took about two to three hours of grinding the Abyssal Flamebringers before it dropped, so don't give up hope!

Комментарий от Mordane

Dropped on about the 30th kill. 7.18am server time (Dath'Remar).
Was worried it was going to be hours and hours....... :)
Good luck all!

Комментарий от gizngoly

so far seems to be the worst of the drops for the sprite darter puzzle potions. i -highly- recommend grouping up for this if you see other ppl in the area farming. i got lucky and the first person who showed up when i had been farming them invited me. we invited others as they showed up. it gave everyone their own loot table. and we didn't have to roll on it. so if you group, everybody still has the same chance, but you get more mobs to kill since you don't have to compete for tagging. these guys are spaced out where you can't group them up and the respawn rate is -terrible-. good luck!

Комментарий от Baneleaf

I finally received this drop after three separate full farm sessions (one hour) timed by my poisons on my rogues daggers. On a PVP server as alliance this grind is horrible. 80+ kills and if you get ganked on a pvp server it puts you at the alliance flight point and the only way to get up is to take rez sickness and fly back up. The best advice I can give you other than finding someone on a pve server to invite you is to make sure to have an instant cast spell hot keyed because these mobs die in one shot. Team up with other ally if you can because these are individual/group tags, not faction tags.

Комментарий от Sluggzo

Easily the most annoying of the six "Major Protection" alchemy recipes to farm up for the Sun Darter Hatchling. There are about 12 spawn points in a relatively small area, with a respawn rate of about 3-4 minutes, and since the pet was unlocked, the area is typically swarmed over with players frantically flying around chasing any fresh spawn. On top of that, if you try to camp one spot, you have to keep dodging the fel cannons or else your screen fills up with green fire.

The good news: since so many people have been farming the recipe, prices have been dropping fast. If you have the other recipes, you've probably made enough gold to afford just buying one off the AH. And if you're planning on selling the pet, you'll more than make that gold back up.

Комментарий от Rico77

ya they a realy kinda far away from each other

but easy to see :D

but got my after like 40 min + i think it was

same as with the shadow and the arcane one

so at least for me it was a kinda nice drop rate

gl for you all to :)

Комментарий от Penaloppe

Here is what I dropped while farming only Огненный голем бездны for Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от светлой магии.

23 x Апекситовый осколок
1 x Истощенное хрустальное средоточие
1 x Штаны верховного мага
1 x Наручи Темной Крови
1 x Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от светлой магии

If I do some quick calculations based on the number of Апекситовый осколок since the drop rate is 77%.
I got the Рецепт: большое зелье защиты от светлой магии after 30 kills ((23/0,77).
(Drop rate of 3,33%)

But I might have been lucky because I think the drop rate is around 1%

Комментарий от egephart

1 hour 21 minutes, 135 kills. Finally got it.

Initially there were 13 Abyssal Flamebringer spawned. Unfortunately their respawn rate is somewhat slow. Hence the 1 hour 21 minutes. So, either kill what's up and go collect mats while waiting for respawn or find a good movie to watch.

Комментарий от craigtrevor

Pro-Tip: Ensure that you have Алхимия Запределья prior to farming for this. 650 kills without learning Outland Alchemy, no drop. Learned Алхимия Запределья, drop on 79th kill.

Комментарий от IndyGE

Still dropping in 8.0.1. Only took me a few minutes...

Комментарий от Leannis

Approx 153 kills for me

Комментарий от Katreyn

Took 12 kills for this to drop for me.

Комментарий от Apoletta

457 kills. Somewhere between 3-4 hrs. Now I have to go grind out Cenarius rep...the things we'll do for pets! This is a potion required for the Sun Darter Hatchling puzzle quest in a cave in the very northern part of Winterspring. It requires all sorts of old crafted items, like the Gordok Ogre Suit.

Комментарий от SoloEverything

Took me 97 kills which made me happy cause I was planning on 100 a session.

Комментарий от Melixach

The numbers seem daunting, but don't let that scare you. It took me around 20-30 minutes to get the recipe to drop with about 50 or so kills. Either I'm really lucky or the numbers are screwed up from number padding or something.The major pain point is that the mobs are spread out and you can't gather and AOE a large group. Other than that just fly around and kill the mobs and keep doing laps. It does drop, just keep your head up. You'll get it.

Комментарий от NeinnaWR

Still drops as of Shadowlands prepatch 9.0.1. Went out there with another alchemist, it dropped for me but the body offering nothing but money for her. She was farming a little over an hour before I joined and about 20 minutes with my help.
