The best places to farm motes of harmony is a place that has other stuff you need too.

For me: That means Klaxxi Warrior packs in the Dreadwaste. Since they can drop Klaxxi Amber used (20) at a time for rep, I kill 2 birds with one stone. Plus they drop cloth too, bonus. No cooking mats though.

The Insect's have packs of 8 warriors and 1 bigger guy located at a few spots along the Scar in the zone. The don't hit hard, and can be AoE'ed down pretty fast, and have the same drop chance as other mobs there.

That's where I would do it.

anon posted : You should have picked up at least 1 Spirit of Harmony (10 motes) while questing randomly. If you did, using it to buy a LW pattern is much easier and quicker than the green skill-up leg enchant thing, I'd reckon.

The mail PvP patterns that are purchasable with SoH are all 15 Prismatic Scales, I believe, and the leather PvP patterns are 15 Exotic Leather. They also grant multiple skill-ups per craft (3, I think).

In short, I think it's definintely worth using a Spirit to finish the LW grind from 565.

just make tons of leg enchants, they are green until 600 and sell them..

I could give it a try ... getting leather seems easy enough. Just getting my druid out has been sort of fun though. I haven't really taken ghoren questing since Cata started. He's opened most of the flight paths, and has done a fair number of quests for an afternoon. Currently he has 7 motes.

I quest.
I have several toons that range from 20 to 77. So all I do is work on doing a couple of quests per day.
3 of my toons are in a level 25 guild. At least one of them is in the top 10 for weekly guild performance.
Yep the guild is dead. But that is fine by me, as I don't dungeon crawl or raid. Well, ok, I do dungeon crawl, but just with my 2 kids, they have toons that are equal in level to mine. That way there is little bricking over loot. Though I typicall do a dungeon just to see what the dungeon looks like, and not for the loot. I seldom get in the rolls for drops.

This is how we played for years... although I've always pugged as many raids as possible toward the end of an expac. There is just so much to see and do in this game...

I just started holding onto the motes of harmony.. In 2 hours I've collected 3 or 4.

DarkLogix posted : You could trade for iron paw tokens and then later sell the mats you buy with them.

and iron paw tokens are currency so they wouldn't take up bag space.

so you don't have an alchy?, or any other crafting profs?

and why is that none of them cook or heal relevant in reply to me?

DarkLogix posted : They stack to 200 and you can trade them to a NPC in the vale for any prof mat, or for iron paw tokens.

IMO more valuable than other prof stuff.

I've been trading my spirit of harmony for iron paw tokens to get more mats for my cooking.

But you can also trade them for a stack of cloth, some ore, herbs, pvp patterns, and other stuff.

*I can't recall where my hunter currently is, I think it's in a jungle with lots of tigers, lizard men. There was a large cat there called Chasheen, and a snake like creatures in the water. They seemed to have the motes on them. [every so often]

This seems odd, I was able to level tailoring without having to burn any spirits.

I haven't done that much with tailoring yet. At the moment, skinning, fishing, cooking and leather working are the closest to 600 on my toons. I already have 600 herbalism and inscription, didn't need any motes for inscription. I think there may be a need for motes for alchemy in a few levels. though that is 567 at the moment. My primary tailor is 544 and 569 enchanting, no motes needed by that toon yet.

I'm trying to get leather working then alchemy out of the way first, then tailoring and enchanting.

Nick D posted : While this doesn't actually answer your question (the others are accurate) ...

The best way to farm motes is to actually farm them. Once you hit Revered with Tillers, you can buy Songbell Seeds, which yield 1 mote when harvested.

At Revered, you have 12 plots, and 4 more open up at Exalted. That's 16 motes a day.

I have a feeling Golden Lotuses will become somewhat cheaper in about a week.

Feramors posted : I don't know if there's an inreased drop chance on anything in particular. Every mob in Pandaria has a chance to drop one.

However, I don't think every recipe requires a spirit of Harmony...usually you can do some sort of research once per day, but then you have the option of an unlimited amount of tried with X Spirit of Harmony.

[MoP] Best places to farm motes of harmony?

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:17:12 EDT

pandora posted : Last night, I got my leather worker up to 575, all future recipes (575 and up) require a Spirit of Harmony. My leather worker is still 85, and was fed leather by two other skinning toons (Vyle and Bowbeforeme). Unfortunately it looks like he has to directly loot motes of harmony as they appear to be bind on pick up.

So I have a level 85 druid, with a home in the Shrine of the Seven Stars, and some flight points out, who is in need of gathering some motes and leather along the way. The 89 and 90 level skinnables he killed required 560 skinning, his skinning is still 525.

He is poorly geared at the moment, but that will change over time.

Thanks for any suggestions.
