Can i buy essence of the forlorn

The bosses drop tokens head, shoulders, chest, hands, legs. Essence of Air is an elemental building block of many crafting recipes. It adds the virtues of speed and quickness to any item.

Water is the essence of life, nothing living can survive very long without it. You can live up to a month without food, but one can only survive for up to a week without water. Yet, we take this element of life for granted. Water is a natural solvent of body toxins as well as a magnificent cell hydrator. Molten Core is the best place to farm Essence of Fire, one full clear gives you around Both the trash mobs and the bosses can drop essences, so kill everything inside the instance.

The higher the monster level, the higher the drop chance for Essence of Water. Best zones for Essence of Water farming are the lakes in the Eastern Plaguelands, fishing in Azshara and the coastline of Feralas. Elemental Water. Fire Essence is an unsplicable essence item which was added in the Hidden Riches update.

It can be obtained by breaking any blocks with Fire Chi. Great drop rate, along with Heart of Fire and Essence of Fire. The bosses drop tokens head, shoulders, chest, hands, legs. You can take this token along with the corresponding piece of gear that you already have and trade them both in for the heroic version for that slot.

Now for the essence. The end bosses will drop the essence. This can be used to purchase ANY of the tokens that you need. Say you lose the roll for the chest token that dropped this week and that is the only piece that you have left to upgrade.

You still have the chance to roll on the essence that drops. You can then turn it into the piece that you need. This is why there are tokens in the valor vendor purchasable for the essences. The bosses drop the tokens, but you can still buy the tokens with essence.

I hope that this clears things up a little. It is actually pretty self explianitory when you look in the valor vendor. I do agree with the above poster. Anyone that is in a position to get one of these essences, is not gonna have to ask how to use it.

Edited for a typo. Comment by It apparently drops from heroic Al'Akir according to the armory. Comment by haticK Updated for Patch 4. Comment by This is pretty much the "gimmie" token among all of the heroic ones due to the fact that everyone can use them. Comment by rhinoloupe Please please for the love of god, if you happen to get one of these, don't waste it on the chest, legs or gloves :P agree why can't we get a raid finder that is similar to a dungeon finder to get this done?

Comment by adrenalize I am sorry, but if you do not raid then you do not need the level of gear that these tokens buy. It's that simple. Dungeons will continue to scale and give better gear, but you are going to have to get used to the fact that what is avaliable to you will always be a full tier and a half lower then what you can get in heroic raids.

Gear it a means to an end, in that you aquire more powerful gear to be able to beat more powerful bosses. It's why raids always progress in difficulty from one tier to the next. It's not for standing around and idling in stormwind. Comment by MoonslayerLB as of current live patch 4. Comment by zornwal this is like the marks dropped from saurfang, putricide, sindragosa and the lich king.

In this case the token works for all classes instead of one. Comment by LionsMike This is the same old problem that makes me think that a person with a baseball bat might be able to go into blizzard headquarters and knock some sence into them. Kindergartens do not require HS diplomas for new students for a good reason. I have my full vicious Gladiator gear and I have 3, justice points converted Honor to Justice. It is time to start getting my PVE gear. There does not seem to be any good PVE gear available.

My vicious galdiator is far better than the level or the gear that it will let me purchase. I can purchase the downgrade gear some pieces and use them or bank them until I get upgrade tokens Essence of the Forlorn required which require doing heroics dungeons.

I cannot get into the dungeons that give the "Essence of the Forlorn" because groups do not want work with under equipped players, and I cannot go in myself. So I cannot begin to get even the first piece of gear that will allow me to do the heroic dungeons until long after I have been doing lots of heroic dungeons.

I will continue to convert my honor to justice and purchase and bank the gear in the hope that blizard makes a change which will allow players of my type to get more involved in the game. Comment by After you buy from npc one of the armors needed to turn in for other armors can you wear the first armor you buy with points before you trade it in?

Comment by Enterthevoid I find this item's name very thought-provoking. You enter a desert, untouched for eons, with the misbegotten sense of "adventure". Eventually you reach the Skywall, you enter the forgotten fortress of the Winds, and you defeat an ancient Elemental Lord. You get a buff called "Cerenity" the thing that lets you fly. So, you are at the ends of the Earth, in the middle of the skies, into this now empty beautiful fortress, just being there, alone. You have defeated one of the mightiest Elementals, you have completed your "adventure", and you want to feel complete, but deep down inside, you feel Forlorn For those who don't know the meaning of the word, it's "Pitifully sad and abandoned or lonely" Kind of bittersweet, don't you think?

Comment by Tanfana As someone who runs Cata raids to make a little extra gold while acquiring appearances, here's my advice on what to do with these.

This is assuming you have all the appearances in your collection already: Avoid the glove, pant, and chest tokens. These require a combination of the token plus the regular item, which you must buy with gold. Whichever one vendors for more is the token you should turn these essences in for. On my Shaman it was the helms.

It may be different for other classes. Buy a bunch, toss them in your bank, wait for the two hour timer to expire, then vendor for gold. If you're an enchanter that just plans to disenchant whatever you pick up just take your pick between the helm and shoulders.
