Updated 21 October 2026

This is the Retail guide for Volatile Earth. It covers an older expansion’s crafting material, not Midnight’s new reagents.

The old character-level recommendations have been removed because Retail zones and enemies use level scaling. Check your map’s level range and the relevant zone phase before traveling.

Where to farm Volatile Earth

  • Northern Stranglethorn
  • Twilight Highlands
  • Mount Hyjal

Kill Obsidian Stoneslaves in Twilight Highlands or Scalding Rock Elementals in Mount Hyjal. Miners can mine eligible corpses for additional materials.

Targets and farming method

Kill Obsidian Stoneslaves in Twilight Highlands; miners can also mine eligible corpses after looting. Scalding Rock Elementals in Mount Hyjal provide another outdoor farm.
