Eternal and Crystallized drops are the new version of elemental materials used in WOTLK. There are 6 Eternal types: Air, Earth, Fire, Life and Shadow.
On average, Eternal Fire, Eternal Air and Eternal Life are worth far more than Eternal Shadow, Eternal Shadow or Eternal Earth. The price of these materials will vary from server to server, always keep an eye on the patch notes to see what Eternals may become in demand.
- You need 10x Crystallized Air to create Eternal Air. Same for all Eternals
- You can farm most Eternals in Wintergrasp. Farm crystallized drops while you PVP!
- Herbalists can farm Crystallized Life while gathering Herbs.
- Miners can get Crystallized Earth, Crystallized Fire and Crystallized Shadow from Mining nodes.
Eternals are used in almost every high-end crafting profession, from Blacksmithing to Alchemy. Depending on your class, it is almost always better to farm Eternals than just normal gold grinding, you will get a much higher gold per hour ratio by farming Eternals yourself and vendoring any junk loot. Even if you don’t need the Eternals yourself, they are easy to farm up and always sell in the auction house for some quick Warcraft gold.
Wintergrasp
You can only farm the “Revenant” class mobs when your faction is in control of Wintergrasp, but be careful: Wintergrasp is a PVP area. If your faction is not in control you will be unable to see the Elemental Revenants; greater elementals that have a 100% chance of dropping 1 to 3 Crystallized Elements. There are still lesser elementals floating around, but it’s generally not worth the risk for such small reward.
Each Elemental has their own area where they will spawn and in the map below I have color coded the location for those mobs.

- Flame Revenant, Raging Flame.
In Wintergrasp the area dedicated to Crystallized Fire is in the southeastern part of the zone called “Cauldron of Flames”. This is easily the most farmed area of Wintergrasp because of the demand for Crystallized and Eternal Fire. I highly recommend selling Crystallized Fire instead of converting them into Eternal Fire. - Water Revenant, Glacial Spirit.The waterways of Wintergrasp are filled with small Glacial Spirits and their Water Revenenant counterparts. Unfortunately there are many more Glacial Spirits than Water Revenants.
- Tempest Revenant, Whispering Wind.All along the southern end of the zone we will be farming Crystallized Air by hunting Tempest Revenants and Whispering Winds, as shown in the yellow coded area on the map.
- Mature Lasher, Living Lasher.Eternal Life, like Eternal Earth, is easiest farmed up by Herbalists (or Miners respectively). However, Wintergrasp does have one area available in the lower left hand corner of the map containing Mature Lashers and Living Lashers. The Mature Lasher is like a Revenent class mob in that it has a 100% change to drop a Crystallized Life.
- Shadow Revenant, Wandering ShadowColor coded Grey on the map, for farming Crystallized Shadow to turn into Eternal Shadow, you will be hunting Shadow Revenants and Wandering Shadows. Shadow Revenants have a drop rate of ~140% which guarantees at least 1 Crystallized Shadow per Kill. The Wandering Shadow’s have a drop rate of around 30%.
Eternal Fire Farming Locations
Crystallized Fire is a little bit more common than Shadow, but still not nearly as common as Water, Air, or Earth. On the plus side, there are a few decent places to farm it, and when your trying to make warcraft gold as fast as possible it is important to have some options.

Stormpeaks - Wailing Winds - 61.8, 40.0
Storm peaks actually has two good places for Crystallized Fire. Although the mob density in these areas is fairly low, the drop rate is decent. These are not good places to be if there is more than one farmer there, but if you have the place to yourself it is pretty easy to get over 10 eternals per hour. The Wailing Winds in Frostflow Deep and the Seething Revenants at Fjorn’s Anvil (which may require some Sons of Hodir questing to unlock) are the hottest spots in the zone.

Borean Tundra - Raging Boilers - 49.4, 14.7
Head to Charred Rise, directly south of Bor’gorok Outpost in Borean Tundra. Your looking for Raging Boilers, level 69-70 elementals. The best part about the Charred Rise is that the mobs are low level and very easily gathered for AOE farming. Additionally you can farm Crystallized Water from Boiling Spirits and air from Enraged Tempests.
Where to Farm Eternal Water
Crystallized Water is much easier to get a hold of than Shadow or Life, you can get it just about anywhere. Most people say Wintergrasp is the best farming spot, but in my experience I usually find myself getting sucked into pvp over actually getting to farm. Yes I’m a carebear. Otherwise, you can get them from Fishing and miners can get them from Cobalt and Titanium nodes. Check out the maps below for some good placed that non-Miners can farm Eternal Water and make some easy Warcraft Gold.

Stormpeaks - Icebound Revenants - 44.0, 67.0

Shoalazar Basin - Aqueous Spirits - 36.1, 45.6

Howling Fjord Crystallized Water Farming - 61.5, 22.8
Eternal Air Farming Locations

Storm Peaks - Scion of Storm - 67.9, 41.4
Scion of Storm drop crystallized air 25% of the time, and has an additional drop for Relics of Uldaur 33% of the time. You will also recieve a +50% movement speed bonus that the Scions of Storm will give you when they die that will help your kills per hour. As a ranged class it is very easy to farm Eternal Airs at this location, and is in my opinion the best grinding spot for Eternal Air currently in the game.

Sholazar Basin - Storm Revenant - 24.1, 34.4
The Stormwright’s Shelf is located above and to the west of The Maker’s Perch in Sholazar Basin at 24,34. It is full of Storm Revenants and Aqueous spirits, which are used in the Oracles daily quest “Song of Wind and Water” and “Song of Fecundity”. Like most Non-Wintergrasp Elementals, the Storm Revenants have a 25% chance to drop Crystallized Air, along with other grey trash that can vendor for up to 5g each.
Eternal Shadow

Dragonblight - Death Revenant - 74.6, 23.2
In Dragonblight you can find a cave (Frostmourne Cave at 74,23) where Deathbringer Revenants will spawn. They only have a 25% chance to drop Crystallized Shadow, but these mobs tend to respawn fast so at level 80 this is a great place to chain grind Eternal Shadows.
