Is there Crystallized Water in Sholazar Basin? Crystallized Water is in every Northrend Zone if you know where to look for it!

Now of course Crystallized Water can be obtained by fishing, but I think the last time I fished seriously was to get Mithril-Bound Trunks in southern Stranglethorn Vale, so my fishing skills are not really up to date.

If I want loot, I have to brutally murder the mob that’s carrying it, and that’s the bottom line.

After some brief research, I found that the non-Elite mobs that have the best drop rate for Crystallized Water are the Aqueous Spirits of Sholazar Basin. So this morning, I set out for Sholazar Basin, my heart set on acquiring large quantities of Crystallized Water.

These Water Elemental type mobs hang out on The Stormwright’s Shelf, immediately north west of The Maker’s Perch, around 25,34.

Bear in mind that you will NEED a flying mount to get up there.

Here is where the Crystallized Water and it’s supporting mob, the Aqueous Spirit, can be found:

Unfortunately, what the “official” Crystallized Water drop rate doesn’t tell you is how many mobs there actually are.

You see, there are (2) primary components to great farming: a) a great drop rate and b) lots of mobs.

In a pinch, if there are TONS of mobs to kill, it can make you forget the poor rop rate, but rarely the other way around.

In the case of the Aqueous Spirits and their Crystallized Water, the drop rate wasn’t so fantastic – by my observation – and there were definitely not enough of them. The Stormwright’s Shelf is home to (3) types of mobs, and all drop Crystallized Elements:

• Aqueous Spirit – Crystallized Water
• Storm Revenant – Crystallized Air
• Stormwatcher – Crystallized Earth

Overall, the Crystallized stuff drop rate from all those mobs wasn’t bad, but they are too few and far between to make this a good run. Here is what I gathered in about 30 minutes and 83 kills:

• 27 Crystallized Water
• 6 Crystallized Earth
• 9 Crystallized Air

Ok, ok, not entirely catastrophic But I digress. My repair bill was 1g 72 and some change, and just the Grey vendor trash I gathered was worth about 20g, plus of course the Crystallized Water and other elements, and the (2) greens that dropped make this a relatively profitable run.

I’m not sure I’ll be back here next time I need Crystallized Water, as it seems too much effort for too little return.  Maybe I’ll level my fishing skill, instead…
