Mote

From WoWWiki

Elemental Motes

These are drops from various specific mobs in Outland.

There are other ways of collecting each mote type which vary by element, but all of them drop off of killing certain mobs related to their element, specifically elementals of the related element.

The types are

• [Mote of Air]
• [Mote of Earth]
• [Mote of Fire]
• [Mote of Life]
• [Mote of Mana]
• [Mote of Shadow]
• [Mote of Water]

A stack of 10 of any mote can be made into a Primal (of the same element), ie. 10 Mote of Water -> 1 Primal Water. The reverse conversion is not usually possible, but see Earth Shatter and Fire Sunder for an exception.

Other Motes

There is a quest item for  [37] The Princess Trapped called [Mote of Myzrael] which is unrelated to the elemental motes.
