The drop rate of 1.9% is a misleadingly low, because it also counts kills from people not on the quest, which have no chance to drop it. Mine dropped in a little over an hour's worth of wandering around Shadow Hold with another warlock; so perhaps 5% is a better rate.
If you are getting frustrated trying to find legionnaires, the escort quest Rescue From Jaedenar (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5203) spawns three Legionnaires halfway through, so if you could handle three at a time you could just start it and abandon it after they spawn so that you could take it again. (NB: I didn't actually try this. Your mileage may vary.)

By far the most annoying Essence of them all, this quest is a joke at 50.

1, The mobs are lvl55, not a problem really, I can quite happily drop a 55 or even a 57 at 50, but...

2, just about EVERY mob in Shadow Hold has, u guessed it, shadow res, making resist a word ull become very friendly with. Im specced Affliction so -10% resist chance, I also have 30 Spell Penetration from pvp trinkets and I was still seeing 5 resists in a row at points.

3, All the mobs in this godforsaken hellhole are nicely packed together, alot are pullable by themselves, however a lot also pull in 2+.

4, There's a bunch of fun named mobs, crap loot, not rare, just annoying and usually 56-57 and some (Shadow lord) have 2 adds with them just to make ur life even more fun.

5, The respawn rate is unpleasant, by the time u get to the end of Shadow Hold expect mobs to be spawning on top of u, don't think ull go to the end? well this brings me to:

6, The mobs ur after...are spread the entire length of Shadow Hold, but not in enough quantity to make staying still and farming an option. In the entire hold there's about 8 of these fellas, and bearing in mind their...

7, ...Oh so great drop rate of 4-5%, yes thats right boys and girls 20 mobs for a very good chance at it dropping. Oh and wait...didn't I say there was only...(read above)

8, The graveyard is a mile and a half away which makes for a nice 5min run everytime u die...

9, There's a whole bunch of fun bugs, so when u think u got it sussed be prepared for an enjoyable suprise. i.e. an Imp appearing out of the wall and pulling his master and everyone upstairs...

If u want to undertake this at 50, solo, Id say u gotta be very stuborn, expect to repair all ur gear from 0% durability at least once and spend a good few hours in there. Unless ur really lucky, and tbh if u are lucky /golfclap

GL HF and go for the sound option, bring friends.

Actually I found it to not to be that hard and I'm a level 51 affliction warlock. I took the patient/easy route and camped the Legionnaire next to the warlock with the nightelf in the cage. It me 3 respawns for it to drop but I had no problems.

Be very careful when approaching. He does have an attack that will send you flying...right into other mobs.

Died 3 times while fighting through the cave, dropped 2nd correct npc kill.

this isn't as bad as most people seem to have had it of course halfway through the hold i teamed up with a nice blood elf paladin (me being undead) she was a good 58 so i just ran my felguard with her and watched them kill everything got down to a boss (don't remember name it was like 57) anyway the felguard that was in the room there dropped i ran back out as she continued down further and we went our seperate ways it took maybe 40 mins tops.

Not as bad as it sounds. I soloed it at 51 with a Demonology spec. Just be concious of your aggro radius and remember that level 55 mobs are likely to resist your spells a few times. With care and patience this is totally doable.

Really I got it on third kill.

This quest is killing me. I tried camping the Legionnaire at the bottom where the last two braziers are for the quest Dousing the Flames of Protection and got nothing after 7 kills. Now I'm trying the one near the cages with quest, etc. I'll give an update later.

Really don't mean to annoy anyone, but it actually can go fast as well, since this dropped on my first Legionnaire (the one next to the cage). So all in all drop chances for this are statistical as always and you do not have to have to grind for ages for this with a little bit of luck...

I just want to confirm that I waited for the Jaedenar legioneer to spawn in the first section by the cage... as soon as he spawned, i killed him and the fel essence dropped... this should work out pretty good for you

First kill :]

Droped at first mob for me.

i duo-ed with a 53 warrior that was on a different quest (dousing the flames of protection), and within 10 minutes of entering shadowhold, we were both done with our quests. the legionairre that dropped the essence was the one at the bottom where the last two braziers are (where LeniaK had issues with- sorry!). this was the second legionnaire that we killed together (warrior killed the first one before we party-ed up).
hope this helps!

edit: at this time i am a 53 lock :D

Lol, I got this from my first kill of a Jaedenar Legionnaire.
I guess I was really lucky :
GL to all locks getting it :)

Комментарий от 350503

i got to the one right before the vile ooze. it's much easier with a void walker but i didn't do the last one with the boss as even if i manage that with not too much aggro i might not get the drop.... so i guess i'll go back later. it was a cool dungeon thing but not for that one drop... that's kind of alot for that.

this quest can be very hard for a lv 50 warlock wanting to get their inferno...i killed about 7 of them and got it on my 7th try. because they are pretty spred out and there are alot of other jaedenar guys in the cave

Комментарий от 610474

yeah i am in fel wood i have the other 2 essence i can see the guy i have to kill jaedenar but it looks like hes on top somewhere and i cannot figure out how o get to him if someone has the answer to help me its for the inferno i not sure if ive done the doomguard
