Elemental ingredients are ingredients based on elemental origins. They are used in many different professions.

WoW Icon update Vanilla[]

Essences[]

Elemental essences are elemental ingredients used in some vanilla WoW recipes. Not to be confused with enchanting's essences.

Bc icon The Burning Crusade[]

Elemental Motes[]

Elemental motes are elemental fragments which can be assembled into Elemental Primals, used in many professions (at the Master level).

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

A stack of 10 of any mote can be made into a Primal (of the same element), i.e. 10 Inv elemental mote water01 [Mote of Water] → 1 Inv elemental primal water [Primal Water]. The reverse conversion is not usually possible, but see Earth Shatter and Fire Sunder as exceptions.

Engineers can also use a Inv gizmo zapthrottlegascollector [Zapthrottle Mote Extractor] to gather motes from gas clouds in Outland.

Elemental Primals[]

Primal Might[]

Wrath-Logo-Small Wrath of the Lich King[]

Crystallized Ingredients[]

A crystallized ingredient is the version of elemental substances introduced with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. These compare directly to Motes, which were introduced with The Burning Crusade.

They are used, either directly, or when combined into Eternal ingredient forms, in various tradeskill recipes.

10 of any crystallized element can be made into an eternal ingredient (of the same element), i.e. 10 Inv elemental crystal air [Crystallized Air] → 1 Inv elemental eternal air [Eternal Air] (You need only have 10 in inventory, they need not all be in one stack).

The reverse conversion is done by right-clicking the item.

The engineering item, Inv gizmo zapthrottlegascollector [Zapthrottle Mote Extractor], can also gather crystallized ingredients in Northrend from Gas clouds.

Eternals[]

Eternals powerful type of elemental ingredient used in some Wrath of the Lich King recipes. Their mote equivalent is crystallized ingredients.

Removed[]

Removed from game The subject of this section did not make it out of the beta stages.

Cataclysm Cataclysm[]

Volatile Ingredients[]

Volatile ingredients are a powerful type of elemental ingredients used in Cataclysm recipes. In order to simplify things, they do not have a mote equivalent.

Removed[]

Removed from game The subject of this section did not make it out of the beta stages.

Mists of Pandaria Mists of Pandaria[]

Mote of Harmony[]

Motes made a comeback in the Mists of Pandaria expansion, where 10 Inv elemental spiritofharmony 1 [Mote of Harmony] can be turned into 1 Inv elemental spiritofharmony 2 [Spirit of Harmony].

Spirit Ingredients[]

Removed from game The subject of this section did not make it out of the beta stages.

Spirit ingredients were a powerful type of elemental ingredients used in Mists of Pandaria recipes. They acted much like volatile ingredients in that they also did not have a mote equivalent. They could stack up to 200.

Unlike their older counterparts, these items refer to seasons instead of elements.

They were ultimately removed during beta in favor of just keeping it simple and only having the Inv elemental spiritofharmony 2 [Spirit of Harmony].
