Getting frustrated with this one. I've killed 20+ artificers, no joy. Have also killed Champions and Ambushers, no luck there, either. Don't have the rep yet to get the Infliltrators quest yet.

Was able to get all the other drops on first kill, too.

Though, I didn't get the Accurate cut in SP, got mine from a mob in SB, figured it was a world drop at the time.

I was beginning to think it not only required being a Jewelcrafter but perhaps a certain level as well. I ground through probably 3 bars of experience at level 77, killing nothing but Stormforged mobs, before it finally dropped. Unlike the other three Jewelcrafting recipes that drop from the other mobs in Storm Peaks, this one was particularly elusive to me. The other ones? They all dropped on like the first three kills. Don't know why I had to work so long on this one.

Got it off the 3rd Champion after killing about 20 Artificers. Fresh lvl 77. Seems weird. The other 3 designs dropped first kill.

Drop rate is definitely not 100%. I farmed about 25 Champions and 15 Artificers before it dropped off a Champion. Took me a total of about 30 minutes.

... have 100% droprate.
...
Design: Defender's Twilight Opal drops from:

Not sure if the drop tables change when the zone phase changes at honored with Sons, but I'm currently only Friendly, have kill approximately 25 Champions and Artificers without seeing it drop. Since I can't do the daily to see the Ambusher I can't verify that they didn't drop it on the first kill.

The other three designs dropped on the first kill.

These recipes may also be somehow rep related, so we have not yet know them all.

I was also getting it, got Sons of Hodir rep at honoured, so no drop for no drop for me so far.

I got this on my paladin off the fourth Champion I killed. I haven't even got Sons of Hodir in my rep table so rep has nothing to do with it. As for the other 3 recipe's available through killing mobs, I got them all off the first kill.

I got this off a Champion, having done not a single quest in Storm Peaks. It's just got a lower drop rate for some reason.

Комментарий от 262809

It is not 100% droprate, atleast not this one! I've killed over a hundred of these without a single drop, all the 3 mobs listed below.

Does this only drop during a quest?

Комментарий от Krissy

I got this by accicdent lucky me :)
Flying over collecting ore and an iron dwarf happened to attck me killed it for the ore was gonna leave the body but that dropped from the loot! Great for my too <<<<<<<<<<JCer was my lucky day :)

After reading through the comments for the 4 rare JC designs, I'm wondering if, for some reason, it's possible that the more Sons of Hodir rep you have the lower the droprate of the designs?

I'm currently Honored and had no luck getting any of the designs except the one that drops from Nascent Val'kyr, which I had to kill when I did the dailys for Hyldnir (before I had gotten any Sons of Hodir rep).

Just a thought.

All earlier posts regarding the drop rate of this item being 100% should be disregarded. As of patch 3.08, this is NO LONGER a 100% DROP.

Комментарий от stormdruid

17/2/2009 - Took 23 kills of Stormforged Artificer to get the pattern and i didnt mind as they all drop http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42780 so i made some nioce gold too as they sell well on the AH :)

Cords for the drop and kills was in the open mine area 31/47.

Комментарий от Schryver

I killed about 20 Artificers and then 5 Champions. Then I came here to verify the drop locations and on my next Artificer kill it dropped! This site seriously gives you good luck or something :P

Комментарий от 177291

This is definately no longer a 100% drop

The drop rates on this listed on wowhead are skewed by non-jc kills - they will never see the drop.

Ofc even more skewing is introduced by kills after the design has dropped/been learnt, which will never contain the drop even for a JC.

This means the number on wowhead will never be an accurate representation of the drop chance when farming it - because all kills after the design has dropped will artificially lower the drop rate. This probably explains why the drop rate looks so much lower on some mobs than others - they just get killed more often. You can see this if you look at the number of kills the drop rates are based off.

Presumably, despite the numbers above, the drop rate is actually equal on all the relevant mobs.

My guess based on purely anecdotal evidence (my own farming numbers) is a 1% drop on all of them.

I'm sorry to say this to all of you who had trouble with the drop. But I have done absolutely no quests in Storm Peaks on my Death Knight outside of the dailies for Halls of Stone/Lightning. It dropped off my ninth kill of mobs, like 3 champions, 2 ambushers, 2 artificers and 2 of the golems. It dropped off a champion. Less than 5 minutes of farming.

Questing in Storm Peaks at level 79, dropped for me on some of the Stormforge dwarves.

Комментарий от 305091

The drop rates on these seem to be about 4% now, here are my results for the four BoP patterns which are zone drops:

Defender's Twilight Opal
No drop count, got this first while doing JC daily

Accurate Monarch Topaz
21 kills, easiest to farm since I went for Stoic Mammoths which have a short respawn time and I could just AOE down a pack of them.

Fractured Scarlet Ruby
23 kills, only one choice of mob for obtaining this recipe.

Radiant Forest Emerald
27 kills, both types of mobs, just rode down the valley killing every harpy I saw.

Комментарий от Kairn

Got pretty lucky on these BoP Patterns today.

Accurate Monarch Topaz
About 80 kills

Fractured Scarlet Ruby
On the second kill

Radiant Forest Emerald
Second Kill once again.

Defender's Twilight Opal
This took me some time, not because of the droprate. I didn't pay attention and killed the wrong mobs for about half an hour, well after reading up here headed to the right ones and got the pattern on my 2nd artificer kill.

All in all can't really get much luckier than this, heads up for you guys still waiting for a drop.

i never got any normal mob design drops.. but i got this one in my JC skill window.. how come?

Комментарий от 397747

lawls, think it's a new record since patch. After spending like 3 hrs grinding mammoths for the +hit +exp recipe i ran up to Nidavelir and got it on my first kill from a Champion. gg

Комментарий от 448487

Acurate 1 kill, 5 kills fractured drop, Radiant 12 kills, defenders 7 kills..

Комментарий от 175818

Got it off of an artificer at the south edge of snowdrift plains while doing the JC daily, not actually farming it. The cut sells mediocre on the server.

Stormforged Artificer - after about 50 kills

Комментарий от 395672

If you're looking to farm this, and by farm, I mean AoE/mobbing farm, the best choice is to kill Stormforged Artificers. They are not only plentiful, but relatively close together, so you can run around and !@#$ off a bunch before burning them all down. Champions are one and two here and there, and ambushers won't show up unless you're doing the Hodir quest to mine the eyes of the dead iron giants for the quest "Forging A Head".

3rd artificer kill

Super Lucky, I guess. I got the design after only 2 kills of the Воитель клана Закаленных Бурей. (RNG is just that - you never know.)
