Target Mob(s):

Krik'thik Needler - NPC - World of Warcraft
( 25% chance at 1-6 cloth )
( 0.07% chance at skyshard )

Krik'thik Locust-Guard - NPC - World of Warcraft
( 23% chance 1-6 cloth )
( 0.1% chance Skyshard )

Since the recent Nerf on this amazing location to farm Motes and skyshards.. I wanted to find a way to exploit the mechanics a little more here..

Items required: Golden Fleece - Item - World of Warcraft
Potion of Luck - Item - World of Warcraft

* side note you dont need the fleece * however with the amount of mantid you will be killing in here to get the fleece to proc and loot 30+g every few mins is money in your pocket with little effort.

Now consume your luck potion and start ripping away at the Mantid. What your looking for to drop off these constant waves of mantid are the following:

Plundered Treasure - Item - World of Warcraft

Here is the break down: Mote of Harmony - Item - World of Warcraft * 0.9%*
Windwool Cloth - Item - World of Warcraft * 53% *
Ghost Iron Ore - Item - World of Warcraft * 13% *
Black Trillium Ore - Item - World of Warcraft * 12% *
White Trillium Ore - Item - World of Warcraft * 12% *

The break down is so you dont have to actually click the link so you can read and go farm lol.

Basically blizz nerfed this place to farm motes and seems to have nerfed the turtles in VoFW... Perhaps a good thing too half my server could be seen singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall any day in that zone....

So i say go nuts blizz nerf the mantid ill just keep finding loop holes to exploit. ( BTW using this method, if farmed about 7 Whole Spirits in 35mins )

I hope this was helpful have a good day everyone.

Not sure how this is an exploit and you don't mention where the motes really drop from other than the treasure chests. Drop was nerfed... so you say to use potion of treasure finding as a loop hole? This is confusing.
