Volatile elements are among the most in-demand crafting materials in Cataclysm. They’re required for many endgame recipes and can be challenging to farm, which tends to make them especially valuable. Among these five items is Volatile Water, which is best farmed in the Twilight Highlands zone.
- Volatile Water does not require any particular profession or skill to gather. It can be looted directly from mobs.
- That being said, Fishing provides one means of collecting these items, which have a chance of being fished from any school in level 80-85 Cataclysm zones.
- If you have Alchemy, you can use Transmute: Living Elements to transform Volatile Life into one of the other four volatile elements. Performing this transmutation in the Vashj’ir zone will significantly increase the changes of getting a Volatile Water.
- If you have Mining, you may occasionally get a Volatile Water or another volatile from ore nodes in level 80-85 Cataclysm zones.
- If you have Skinning, you may very rarely get a Strange Bloated Stomach when you skin a mob in level 80-85 Cataclysm zones. This item has a chance to contain any of the five volatiles.
- In the open world, the best place to farm Volatile Water is Twilight Highlands.
