While you are at Winterspring buy Fel Elemental Rod from https://classic.wowhead.com/?npc=16015 cause you need it in the last part.

Saves time and money :)

Find a spot where you can pull the mobs and start by eliminating the trash mobs. Start to kill the mobs you are interested in and during the first fight near the end, drop the distiller (by right clicking it in your bag).

Pull the mobs to the distiller so that you can get as many as possible because the distiller despawns after a few minutes. Goblin rocket fuel isn't cheap and you only start out with 8. If you need more, you have to obtain it yourself.

It took 10 rocket fuel for me. 4 - in Winterspring.
In Winterspring its hard to find needed mobs, farmers are there even at 06:00 server time.
In Silithus i could easily solo as 60 druid, you might as well take quest The Spirits of Southwind https://classic.wowhead.com/?quest=1125 since you will be killing same mobs. When these spirits die theres a quite tough bug spawning.

Kommentar von sportman1280

It took 9 fuel for me. The EP part of it is tricky because the ghosts are somewhat spread out. I recommend you solo everything except the EP part. This also helps save fuel as you find and kill ghosts a lot faster.

Silithus - 5 barrels
EP - 2 barrels
Winterspring - 2 barrels

The stable Ectoplasms are the easiest to get. Just go to Northdale (68,30) and it is a town full of ghost and banshees. Easy to kill and easy to pull as they are the only ones there. Watch out for the ghost though that are the Stealth eye types.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is easy to get if ur are level 60.
first,go to southwind village in silithus,i think this is the hardest part of the quest since there are 1-3guards respawned when u killed the undead.but i took this easy as a level 60rogue.fuel used:3
then go to lake kel'theril at winterspring.this part took me some time to finish.i am at a PVP server and 3 horde were there when i reached there and got killed one time and i didnot attack them back ,so got it easy:)fuel used :3
the last one part is at EP,go to northdale,there are many ghosts there .fuel used:2.
Hope this is helpful to others.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those mages out there trying to do this quest, some advise from someone who did it. Get help in silithus, its a waste of rocket fuel if you don't, 6 for me. The frozen would have only taken me 1 if the game hadn't bugged. And THE BEST PLACE for the stable stuff is NORTHDALE. It is almost like norhtdale was built for this quest, death singers are everywhere!

General Notes:
You need to pull the ghosts into the blue glow before you kill them otherwise you dont get the drop.
Also make sure no member of the party gets to far from the device or it disappears.

Silithus: SouthWind Village. Used 3 fuels. Brought a friend for the extra spawns.

Winterspring. Lake sw of town. Lots of farmers around the lake make it hard to get a good spot. Soloable. (easiest of the 3 sets) Used 3 fuels.

E. Plaguelands: Did this in northdale. Tons of ghosts. Its a bit tricky though because the shriekers fear you and you dont want to get too far from the machine. Also there are a number of invisible mobs that pop while youre running around. Used 4 fuels.

Overall used 10 fuels. Had to make 2. Its possible to do it with 8 but very hard due to low mob density, farmers, death, etc. Bring a couple extra fuels so you dont need to make runs to IF.

*TIPS*
First, and most important, bring a friend! Yes, you can solo this quest, but no, I don't recommend it. Doing it solo would inevitably be much more expensive and much more annoying.

According to the timers on my buffs, the distiller lasts about 5 minutes. I've heard wandering too far or dying can de-spawn it, but I've been lucky enough to avoid such problems.

The distiller seems to be pretty forgiving with its despawn range. I tried to test the range after collecting the ectoplasms in Silithus. I got to about 2 times the usual casting/shooting range and the distiller did not despawn. I would have pushed the limit farther, but there was a cliff in the way. Later my brother went to about this distance to pull some distant ghosts in winterspring. Both times, however, one of us stayed at the distiller. That being said, I recommend only going as far as needed to pull, and make sure you and the mobs are inside the blue glow when they die.

Bringing a hunter along can be a great help for this quest, particularly in EPL and Winterspring, so bring a hunter if you can. The hunter can send his/her pet out to pull distant enemies, then order it to return to bring them into range for the distiller. That way you can pull enemies from farther than anyone can shoot or cast spells. If you can't find a hunter, a warlock would probably be just as good.

*DETAILS*
I did this quest with my brother's help. I have a lvl 60 druid, he has a lvl 60 hunter.

First we did the one in Silithus, at Southwind. We placed the distiller just outside the building in the ceenter of the villiage, and pulled from there. The hardest part was keeping aggro on the bugs that spawned and keeping both of us alive at the same time. We got 9 of the 12 ectoplasms the first time we placed the distiller, then easily finished off the last 3 with the second.

Next we went to EPL, since our hearthstones were set to IF. We considered using Corrins Crossing, but between a few people farming it and all the unrelated mobs, we decided it would be a difficult spot to work with. So we went and set up the distiller right at the edge of Northdale, where the banshees started. We pulled them one at a time, and killed them quickly. The only challenge here was dealing with their fear ability. It usually hit us both, but fortunately it only last for about 3 seconds, so we just had to make sure we got back into the glow before we continued fighting. We placed the distiller twice, managing to gather 6 ectoplasms each time.

Then we went to Winterspring, and set up the distiller on the island in the middle of Lake Kel'Theril. There were a few people farming the area, but we got lucky with the timing, and they were way over at one of the edges when we started. The difficult part was getting enough of them pulled into range, but my brother did an excellent job using the pulling technique described above to pull enemies that were not close enough to be seen from the distiller. I took aggro each time and soloed them while he went out for more. We placed the distiller once and just barely managed to collect all 12 ectoplasms before it ran out.

I hope this information helps anyone who has yet to complete the quest. Just get a good friend to help, pull carefully, and plan ahead. If you can use TS, great, if you can be in the same room as your friend, even better. Good luck all!

As an oppsite of everbody's "way to do it", I started with the ghosts in Silithus, because it was closer to Gadgetzan where I got the quest. It was quite easy.

Silithus: Southwind Village
I tried to find spots where I could aggro 3, one by one. And so I did. I placed the beacon on the spot and killed them. The spawning flies were no match for me. I could easily take them down without a threat. Just use demo shout, Whirlwind, Sweeping Strikes and Cleave (If they are more than one). I guess I was lucky since it only spawned 1 bug most of the times. I only used 4 fuels here. I could have done it with three, since I had 11/12 with 3 fuels.

Winterspring: Ruins of Kel'Theril
This was really easy. Just place the beacon near a place where the ghosts are, and kill them one by one or two by two. They are easy. The only thing that can prevent you from succeed is GANKERS. On my server, Xavius, the ^&*!ing horde lives there and ganks the *!@# out of you. This pisses me off. Waste of fuels. 3 fuels used

Eastern Plaugelands: Northdale.
This was also quite easy. I went to Northdale and placed the beacon in an area where I could aggro several mobs in a specific radius, just like in Silithus. I had to use retalliation once, because 4 mobs attacked me at the same time. Retalliation + Sweeping Strikes = Ouch. :)
I used 3 fuels for this.

Aftermaths:
This is in overall very easy, but be sure that you buy an additional amount of fuel, because 8 isn't enough for this quest. I used 10 fuels on this quest, which meant that I had to buy 2 additional fuels. The amount of fuels may vary considering which class you play. For a warrior with a decent gear, this is easy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Jumping on the 'this is entirely soloable' bandwagon.

Did this is under 1.5 hours with my shadow specced priest (60) wearing green and blue +dmg gear. I used 7 fuels.

I went Silithus --> Winterspring --> EPL

Silithus - Used 3 fuels. I placed the first distiller about 3/4 of the way up the ramp to the main entrance to Southwind and got 4 ectoplasms.

I placed the next distiller in front of the first tower (to your right from the entrance) and got 3 ectoplasms. I only got 3 this time because each tortured night elf spawned 2 bugs upon being pwned.

I placed the final distiller on a nice mound of infected dirt about 50 yards north of where the previous distiller was placed. It is about 20 yards southwest of the first house where you may remember getting the Reliquary of Purity for a previous quest. I was able to get the remaining 5 ectoplasms from this nifty perch. 2 night elves did not spawn bugs. 2 spawned 1 bug. The final elf spawned 2 bugs but I looted the elf corpse before engaging the adds to be sure I completed this portion of the quest.

Winterspring - Used 1 fuel. This part was quick and fun. Fortunately no one was farming the area. I just placed the distiller in the middle of a bunch of spirits and went to town. Got 12 ectoplasms in no time and left with about 5 seconds left on the distiller.

EPL - Used 3 fuels. I went to Northdale as recommended by other posters. This was done much like Winterspring except

a) the mobs are kind of spaced out more
b) there are invisible mobs that spawn constantly*

* Point b) actually made this easy to do with the given fuels. Without the extra mobs popping up this part may have taken 5 fuels due to randomly placed other ectoplasm droppers.

Overall this was a fun quest in a so-far fun and rewarding questline.

Thanks to the other helpful tips.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Being a Mage, I like to have as much distance between myself and my enemy as I can get. Now... my first couple of kills I got no drops, even though the enemies were right on the blue aura. After a quick experiment, I realized that we BOTH have to be in the aura.

So a quick tip to those who are getting the kills inside the aura but still not getting drops: Make sure you're in the aura with the enemy. I bet that's the problem for 90% of the people who aren't getting drops when they should be.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did EPL fine/SIlithis FINE

CANT DO WINTERSPRING, im killing ghosts and ectoplasm isn't dropping, tried with like 4 distillers...and just gave up.. it it bugged?

all they drop is some gold/runcloth

Kommentar von Thottbot

this quest was made easy by first post, i completed it solo (60 mage) and im not epic'd out. very nice quest !

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok so its been basic from here on out, getting the Chared Ectoplasm is the hardest. when you kill one of the senitals or druids they spawn bugs, big bad bugs. sometimes 2 normally 1. there lvl 56 i think, not easy no matter what class. youwil need at least 2 people to help you. the frozen OMG easy! thee wimps!
and the sable. well its inthe middle. its quicker if u have help. they can be hard to find.

now you need to kill Lord bokk. hes in the burning steeps south of blackrock mountain, hes not easy to miss.look on the map and hes in the ferthest west lava red mark on the map. now i thought i needed helkp cos he owned me the first time.
with skill i got him good on my own, but its quicker with help.

getting the Fel Elemental Rod, finding the place is easy, at the bottom of winterspring on the map, ah ha! theres a catch!the places is guarded by lvl 60 deamons. im lvl 60 so i didnt agro much and could just sneak into the cave, the cave isnt hard to find. and you get the rod for 40g is ur friendly for gagetzan. 50g if not.

you then have the machine ready you return to the lady, and she give you the quests that lets yopu bring her belt and gaulnets for me its valor and she'll make en Heroism.

Celimus...hope it helps

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you are using your pets (hunters and warlock) to tank to the mobs in the circle while you kill them from ranged they will not drop the ectoplasm you must be within the circle when the mobs die in order to get the ectoplasm to drop. I don't know why this info hasn't been posted yet this was the most frustrating quest so far in the game for me until I figured this out because I was only getting about 20% drops and didnt know why.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a lvl 59 shadow priest I did this easily with the 8 fuel provided.
Ofc Winterspring is the easiest, just find a place with 6 undeads in range and kill them to get half your ectoplasm. Then repeat that amd you whould ONLY use 2 fuel on these.
EPL is very easy as well, I choose Corins Crossing because they are lower lvl, find a place with 4 banshees in range and start killing the other mobs so you dont have to battlethose while collecting the ectoplasm. So you should aim at getting 4-5 extoplasm on each fuel. If theres is no good spot with enough banshees try killing the other mobs and hope for banshees to spawn instead.
Silithus is the most annoying, but staying outside the actual city you should be able to get at least 4 on each fuel.
So use 3 in Silithus, 3 in EPL and 2 in Winterspring.

Happy hunting

Kommentar von Thottbot

Buy the Fel Elemental Rod in southern Winterspring to complete the 5th part of the chain and save yourself a round trip from Gadgetzan to Winterspring. I got for 40g as part of the quest line, but some people had to pay 50g for whatever reason. I guess if it's 50g when you are on step 3, it's probably worth the extra trip to save a buck.

The 4th part of the quest line is more or less trivial if you've got the FP to Burning Steppes, so don't worry about having to hang onto a quest item for forever.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I went to 72,32 in epl and killd it esey just usd 2 fuel's on the quest But only if you kill the gost fast. so it's not so hard as ppl want it to be=) Love Deka Stormscale

Kommentar von Thottbot

Silithus segement took me 5 rocket fuels due to the wasp things that spawn after each kill. I used 2 fuel in Winterspring easy just go to the frozen lake down the hill from Everlook and farm the Highborne near the first building to the left. I was able to kill 8 before the distiller ran out. Other's insight in EPL very good! Go to plaguewood (same strategy). Good Luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't think you can get the ectoplasm drop from the ghost undead in the Eastern Plague Lands while wearing your Argent Dawn Commission trinket. They won't drop both ectoplasm and scourgestones. Take off your trinket to be safe.

Kommentar von Thottbot

since patch 1.12 only 1 bug spawn from druids in silith.

winterspring was HELL. there were 6 bots running in circles killing all ghosts for me.. spent 6 rocketfules there.. im gonna cancel myaccount if blizzard doesnt start banning people.. the same bots has been there for weeks

Kommentar von Thottbot

in silithus you go 62.51
me as lvl 60 warrior went there
i used 4 fuels because it takes longer to kill because of the spawns and i needed to heal or eat

there are 6/7 mobs to pull
but when you killed the last one the others are already spawned ^^
dont pull out the house it makes a big mess and die fast
dont need anny help
btw: i got only spawns of 1 wasp over there

Kommentar von Thottbot

In this quest you need:
12\12 Scorched Ectoplasm 12\12 Frozen Ectoplasm 12\12 Stable Ectoplasm

Part 1:
go to silithus .. 62,53 are the co-ords
Drop the machine, and start kiling
mobs 55-57 regular mobs
When the mobs die, with the new patch only 1 mob comes to attack you.
loot the body for this ectoplasm (simple enough)

Part 2:
go to Winterspring to the ice lake {54,42}
Once again put the machine on the ground and kill ghosts in the blue circle it puts out.

Part 3:
Now you're off to the Plaguelands!
to kill ghosts, the same way as before.
This part is fairly easy, will require anywhere from 3-6 fuels, i would suggest going to plaguewood.(It's in the NW corner, by the plaguewood tower ((bit of a duh moment there)))

I hope this makes the first post a bit easier to understand. thnx for all your help, ---hunted out

Kommentar von Thottbot

Worst part is EPL... there they dont are in very large groups, so u have to walk, and use more fuel... all other places is a pice of cake

Kommentar von Thottbot

Buy a fel elemental rod from the imp in the cave at 58,78. It will save you a trip later and if you buy it before picking the quest up you get it for 40g (50g with quest)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Silithus is soloable using only two goblin fuels.

First, kill at 60,57, being fire specced mage will help since you have a longer range to pull from. I was able to get 8 ectoplasms until the machine stopped. Then, I went inside and got the remaining four - time was not a problem.

Some have mentioned of remaining in combat - I've noticed you sometimes go back into combat if you loot the mobs, so drink/eat before looting if you need to.

As always, bandages and mana gems help compromising situations.

GL fellow mages~

Kommentar von Thottbot

I didn't have any hard time with it.

Sillithus is definitively the hardest, and since it was closest from gadgetzan I started here. It helps that now only one bug spawns per ghost, I used 3 fuels there, one on the outer wall, and two inside, 4 ghosts each.

Then I went to winterspring, the ghosts there are rather easy and I didn't have any problems getting them all, 2 fuels used, 8 on the first fuel, 4 on the second. I used one on the island in the middle of the lake and started pulling ghosts from both sides, another one near a ruins that was the first place I found 4 ghosts nearby that was all I needed.

Last is EPL, I found the best place to do this on northdale, since there are only banshees and the invisible black ghosts there, both drop ectoplasm. I just looked for a place right outside of town on the opposite side of the lake (to avoid the elementals there) where I had enough ghosts nearby and started pulling in. Between the banshees and the black ghosts I got all the ectoplasm with only two charges, and would have been easier if the first charde hadn't run out in mid fight, so I placed it again in the same place, and had to pull ghosts farther away.

At least for me (level 60 feral druid) was rather easy, it all came down to location, finding a place with enough nearby ghosts to pull one by one before placing the machine.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Used only 6 fuel in whole quest.

Silithus, Southwind village. 2 fuels. Just go where are the most druid ghost easy to kill them, they are plenty of monsters to pull, I used 2 fuels because time, not because I run out of monsters.

Winterspring, Lake Khel'Theril. 2 fuels. I used one in center of the lake and pulled all mobs I found reachable. The other one in the Ruins near there, have a few more.

Eastern Plaguelands, Northdale. 2 fuels. ALOT of ghost to hunt, all very close of each other but easy to pull them one by one, 2 fuels because time.

At least, this is an easy SOLO quest for a lvl 60 druid.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm a 60 druid with no epics. I had absolutely no help and finished this part of the chain in less than half an hour.
Place the distiller in a good spot and you're good to go.

Kommentar von Thottbot

While you are in Winterspring go get the rod for the last part of the chain. It will save you a lot of flying time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Tiaran - Lvl 60 Warrior Detheroc

2 fuels in Southwind Village in Silithus
2 fuels in Lake Kel'theril in Winterspring
4 fuels in Corin's Crossing in EPL

Just place the beacons where you can aggro the greatest number of the target mobs without getting very far away from your beacon... AND in EPL... clear out the other mobs as well, so they don't swarm you when the unseen servants attack and call for help... or run a long way away. (Would have used 3 in EPL were it not a PVP server and horde interrupted)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Fuel can be made by Alchemist players, just ask or look on AH.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easy quest at lvl 70 with my shaman. Used 1 rocket fuel per area. In silithus just placed distiller in the middle of the ruins and got 12 pulled/killed in plenty of time.
In Winterspring i placed distiller on island in middle of lake. Pulls were farther, but still had plenty of time to get 12. Same in EPL at Northdale, just placed distiller in middle of the small town area, and 12 pulls were quick, EPL was the easiest cause the invisible mobs came from everywhere and dropped ectoplasms too.

Silithus Solo easy

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Edited, Thu May 11 14:43:05 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It is to possible to solo silithus, at 60 and a bunch of major heal pots and a stack of flash powder

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When I got the quest, I didn't get any rocket fuel. Does anyone know how I get the 8 that I'm supposed to start with?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just set one down, pull/kill a tortured druid, loot and run. The spawned bugs will despawn eventually. If you don't care about the rocket fuel, this is easier than getting people to help by farming the same spot.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Silithus is soloable now becuase since patch 1.12 they do no spawn anymore than 1 bug at a time

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Okay, I come on here and read up on the quest, several suggested Northdale so I head there. I'm immeadiatly attacked by 3 ghosts but I think hmm, thats okay, I was warned about that. However, the banshee things are bloody horrible. The use fear which only lasts for about 2 - 3 seconds but is enough to move you a good 10m away from the ecto and easily into other mobs. It was the most frustrating thing I've faced on WoW in a long time. I did Sithilis with 2 rocket fuels yet it took me 6 in EPL. It probably didn't help I had no healing pots and few bandages but still, this part of the quest blows complete arse

- 60 Rogue

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did the Silithus part (60 Hunter) using only 2 fuels, my gear isn't great, 4/6 parts Superior PvP armour, BS belt + Bracers).

Maybe I was lucky, most of the time I didn't get any bugs spawn, and if I did, I only got one. Even pulling 2 at once (by mistake, in the house to the right of the gate) I managed to kill & loot both with 2 bugs spawning. Pet almost died, but I trapped one and CS'd the other, while I legged it. Didn't take too long, and it was pretty easy to be honest..

As I said, I might just have been lucky! EPL and Winterspring to go now. :)

Ok Winterspring down, easy too!

A warning for Horde tho, DO NOT put the device down near the remorseful ghost, she's PvP, and doesn't drop anything. I had a 60 Gnome Rogue try (and I stress 'try') to kill me after I made that mistake. I didn't even know I was PvP enabled, lol. :D Still, she ran off after going down to ~5% health, silly Gnomette! ;)

This quest will make get u pissed off if u used up all ur fuel cuz I did and in my server in the AH selling 10G for each fuel....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If someone else is doing the quest you can pull the mobs into the AOE of their Distiller. I found this out after trying to help someonme but they didnt accept the invite.. so instead of waiting around I killed a few and got the Ectoplasm.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Best place in EPL to get the Ectoplasm would be Northdale, 70, 30 only banshees/watchers spawn so every kill is a drop. Corrin's Crossing and Browman's mill both have skellies/ghouls to either pull around, kill before starting the banshees or just slow you down.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

60 Lock: Did silithus with only one fuel. Guild was doing AQ 20 so i got 5 ppl to come do it quick with me :p (with 4 other ppl)

Winterspring was 3 only b/c of spacing (solo)

EPL was a lot (solo)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I don't know why people said the Silithus part is hard to solo, it's easy as
taking candy from a newborn dwarf.

As a mage you wanna save your Frost Nova for the adds that spawn, then
depending on the number of spawns either normal single target spells or
Flamestrike/AE/CoC spam.
I was lucky tho, never got more than 2 adds.

Also when you're doing this, you might as well do The Spirits Of Southwind
at the same time (Die Geister vom Südwindposten if you have done the Desert Recipe quest
(Wüstenrezept and are now doing
the follow up, you might as well clear the area of the Dredge Crushers and
do Küchengehilfe And

Hunting for Ectoplasm Mini Walkthrough.

If you run out of fuel during this quest don’t line the farmers pockets buying at the AH Goblin Rocket fuel is an easy thing for an alchemist to make, 1 part Volatile Rum (drops in the pir8 compound in tannaris) & 1 part firebloom (grows in the tannaris dessert & searing gorge) grab the mats and get a friend to make it for you!

What & Where!

Winterspring:

Go to lake kel'theril and find the friendly highborne ghost in the ruins & put the Ectoplasmic Distiller down besides it there are highborne mobs all around. Just pull em in and gank em it's easy.

Eastern Plauglands:

Go to Corrins Crossing if you're careful you can go to coordinates 62,73 and pull aprox 4 Hate Shriekers & occasionally some Unseen Servants per use of Ectoplasmic Distiller without anything else! Be careful the mobs here pack a punch and you can quickly become outnumbered whilst soloing. Also watch out for the crimson courier who’s men will clear the path for you if your clever!

or

Go to Browman Mill near Lights Hope Chapel and pull the Death Singers this is a bit more difficult as this area is farmed on some servers.

Silithus: (not possible solo you must be in a group)

Head to southwood village and simply put down the Ecto Machine in front of the gates and pull the near by tortured druids and give them a good kicking unfortunately when they die they spawn an increasing number of hive bugs (Hive 'Ashi Drone, L58) to come give you a kicking so be ready! on the last few you kill it spawns 4 bugs at once!

Edited, Thu Mar 30 18:45:57 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Silithus: 62, 53 (Southwind Village)
Eastern Plaguelands: 74, 50 (Broman's Mill)
Winterspring: 56, 44 (Kel'theril)

You could also go to Corrin's Crossing if the Mill is camped (59, 68). Others say Northdale (70, 30) is ideal. Pick your poison.

And don't forget your rocket fuel when you head to Silithus! Flying back to Orgrimar (Alliance have it even worse) because you only had 1 or 2 left and couldn't kill fast enough is PAINFUL.

Also, don't believe the line that you can't solo silithus. I've got 37 points in resto (Shamaan) and didn't die once. Never got more than one bug at a time.

---

While you're at it - Do yourselves a favor:

When you are in Winterspring, go to (58,78) and talk to the imp. Buy yourself a Fel Elemental Rod. You'll need it later (Ein verschlagener Händler to avoid a long flight from Gadget to Winterspring.

On your way there, you'll agro a pair of 60 elites. If you're mounted you should be able to run directly past them and into the cave. They should de-agro by the time you get to the back of it.

If you just crawled out from under a rock and can't use Coords, here are a couple of nice options:

Buy some more goblin rocket fuel before starting this, you'll need it after silithus. Each Distiller only lasts 5/6 mins and it's impossible to kill more than 4 (usually 2 or 3) mobs in that time unless you get grouped and get others to pull them for you.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Since patch 1.12 or whatever they have nerfed the bugs that pop after you kill the undead in Sithilus from usually 2-3 to only 1. That makes this quest simple with 2 uses of Rocket Fuel as a 0/19/32 Resto Shammy. No deaths. For winterspring, I agree, go to the frozen lake and drop one by the temples, took 2 uses there as well. For EPL, go to Northdale and run around till you aggro an invisible guy or 2, drop your thingamajob at around 20% and then aggro the witches, could've been done with 1 Fuel, save for piss ant little allies always gankin while questing.

Even before the patch I soloed this with my war, not saying it was easy but with enough potions and bandages was possible

Kommentar von Allakhazam

FYI YOU CAN USE OTHERS DISTILLERS FOR COLLECTION! :D

So many people were farming the ectoplasm that I tried pulling a ghost into anothers ring and the ectoplasm dropped off my kill!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

And then..? :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what idiot said that silithus isn't soloable? It's risky, sure, but possible.

no they don't spawn increasing numbers. It's random, zero to three (maybe four, never saw that).
I did it with someone else and we killed 3 tortured guys at once and survived fine.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this all solo as a rogue. Used exactly 8 fuels to complete the quest.

Silithus - Used 3 with a little bit of time left on the third. I didn't get any triple bug spawns, and had about even number of 0's, 1's and 2's.

Winterspring - Used 2 with a ton of time left - this is by far the easiest one. I might have been able to do it with 1, but the highly populated area was being farmed by other ppl.

EPL - Used 3 with a decent amount of time left. It's very annoying at Northdale, Eyeless Watchers have invisibility, see through stealth, call for help and hit sort of hard. The purple kind have fear - so make sure you remember to take them back to the Distiller before you kill them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Silithus - Used 6 and had no problems with the adds.

Winterspring - Used 2 with a ton of time left - This was the easiest

EPL - Used 9... this was a pain for some reason. Too many mobs around them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

piece of cake, tip; do this with 2 or more ppl at the same time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what happens if u spend all the fuel ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just solo'd this using VW and 4 fuels. Died twice. Got 6 of the ectoplasm outside just outside the gates by pulling the 3 elves that are on each side of the pathway and the other 6 from near the gates. The druids have got some big heals so send in VW and DM. When the bugs spawn send in VW and pick up the ectoplasm before taking on the bugs, then DOT the bugs and then DL. I had to sac the VW a couple of times just to stay alive.

As was said before, better with 2 people in party any more than 2 is just gravy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd this and would have had 1 goblin fuel of the original 7 you get...got too much agro while needing 2 and I died and it despawned shortly after reincarnating while healing up.

60 shaman...found hardest part to be teh EPL portion, did the Silithus part with 3 fuels.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I can't get ANY frozen ectoplasm to drop in winterspring. Yes i am killing the suffering / anguished highbornes in range of the distiller, and looting them in range too. I have an open ticket but no response yet. Any tips? I've burned through ~6 rocket fuels already trying to figure it out. I had no problems with Silithus or EPL.

Edit: LMAO turns out i was in a raid group BOTH times i tried winterspring. Nevermind :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

To do this quest you first open your little green bag and loot the goblin rocket fuel and then when you get to the area where the monsters are you throw down your distiller which emits a big blue aura that gives you a 2 second buff that refreshes as long as you stay in the aura. Pull and kill the monsters inside the aura and you can loot the quest items. Distiller disappears after a couple minutes so do it quickly or expect to have to buy fuel.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was doing quite well in Silithus, just find a nice place to place down the distiller, and start pulling, I suppose it helps being a paladin, the actual undead doesn't stand alive very long, couple of hits and he is dead. The bugs are no big issue, just means I have to drink after each fight.

I had collected about 5 plasms when friend also needed it, that sped the process up x10.

But I must say, he was a hunter, I don't think he could have soloed it if I wasn't taking a beating from all the bugs as they spawned. Very easy with 2, but not impossible to solo as the additional notes suggest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solo'd the silithus part barely getting em all with 3 rocket fuels used.

Haven't done the other parts of the quest yet.

UPDATE:

Was able to solo EPL and winterspring using only 2 fuels each... grand total used of 7. Able to put the last one up on the AH for a price of 10g... not a bad quest after all =)

The Northdale ghosts all drop it, but the Banshees will all fear you out of the area effect; I lost over 5 drops due to this.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just finished the Silithus part. I play an partial Epic 60 Druid. Was sooo close to getting all 12 with only 3 Goblin Rocket Fuel used. If only I didn't have a couple 3-bug spawns to slow me down. :( So, I had to use 4 Goblin Rocket Fuel. Not a big deal really, picked up some extra at the AH for 1g each just in case.

edit: I completed the Plagueland part with only using 2 Goblin Rocket Fuel.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As mentioned in the quest, when you use the ectoplasmic distiller, it uses up one Goblin Rocket Fuel. Using it places a device on the ground that generates about a 10 yard radius AoE that pulsates and lasts 3-4 minutes. The effect will also go away if you wander too far from the distiller. You are initially given 8 Goblin Rocket Fuels to use with the distiller. More fuel can be made by an Alchemist or bought off the AH.

While the distiller is running, the goal is to kill the ghost, and loot it, within the area of effect of the distiller. You will get a vial of ectoplasam corresponding to the area you are in. Since the distillers effect lasts 3-4 minutes, several vials of ectoplasam can be collected using a single charge of fuel.

One hint, the distillers effect must be running when you loot the mob in order to collect the ectoplasam. When fighting the ghosts in Silithus, make sure to loot the ghost before fighting the bug that spawns. I didn't a couple of times and the distiller ran out before I looted and missed getting the ectoplasam.

Another hint; have a friend mount up and pull the ghosts too you. That way you don't wander too far from the distiller and have it go away.

All 3 types of ghosts are soloable. I did it last night with my lvl 60 warrior. Used 12 fuels total.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone knows id whole party can loot the etoplasm wenn having the buf? would make it far easyer because everyone has 8 fuel from pre-quest which should be mor than enough if every kill gives one plasma to each person.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Best to do this with another person, turn loot to FFA have one person drop the distiller, the person who droped the distiller loots, while both people kill in the aura, then do the same thing for the other person/people in group, this saves on your fuel ALOT

I soloed it all with great difficulty I'm suprised I only used the rocket fuel that was in the bag.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The silithus part should actually be easiliy soloable by any class, level 58 upwards.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did Silithus solo. I was averaging about 2 1/2 kills per rocket fuel. I think I used 5 rocket fuels.

Winterspring was ZOMGeasy. You just get close to a group and start pulling. These ghosties are pushovers. I used two (2) rocket fuels here.

EPL, haven't done this part yet. Shouldn't be too hard after the Silithus part. If you can solo anything at Tyr's Hand you should be able to sleep though this.

Good luck to everybody. This quest string isn't really that hard, (except for the naked run in winterspring), it's just time consuming and a bit of a money drain. Goblins love their gold after all.

The so called 'friendly' ghost at Lake Kel'Theril in the above description is aggressive to horde; also she doesnt drop ectoplasm when killed :/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I am not one to worry about wasting fuel, im an alch and can make my own so I just ran on the adds, my problems came in EPL. I dont reccomend Corins Crossing because of the add's including the Unseen Servants (invisable) but good luck to all. Def a pain in the butt quest.

While getting the you will need it later and if you buy it before you have the quest its 40g if you buy it when you have the quest its 50g as for avoiding 60 elites shimmy along the edges of the mountain until your near the cave 58,78 wait for the hederine initiate to move away and your in :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

well.. did Winterspring without any problems.. just needed 2 fuel.
Silithus was no problem at all either, 2 fuel there to.
Easter Plaugelands was a pain.. used the other 4 fuels here but got a bit help from a mage

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I managed the Silithus one with only four fuels as a lvl 60 warlock, but what made it harder was that they nerfed fear in patch 1.11 so whenever more than one bug spawned, I had quite a bit more trouble.

Luckily if you are an affliction lock, Dark Pact will come in a lot of handy here.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just to inform.... as of patch 1.12, the druids on silithus will only spawn 1 bee, making them soloable.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok well I did Silithus first, I only had 4 of them spawn wasp things after they died so really good although i did use 4 fuels because I accidently clicked on the button twice.

EPL was a breeze, went to Northdale and only used two fuels. The invis ghosts are a pain but also down so easy.

Winterspring was also real easy but I used three fuels only because on my last pull I ran too far away from the device and it despawned. Very annoying.

Thankfully i had picked up a couple of fuels in the AH before I went to EPL and Winterspring.

Also picked up the rod in WS whilst I was there. the two demons are tough they hit for 600-800 each swipe and for a Cloth wearer its nasty.

Handy hint for locks: use your banish, works like a dream as u can run in grab the rod and run out and by then he would of given up.

Nice and easy but costly.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just solo'd this entire thing on my Druid...it was cake, silithus part was tricky but you gotta be smart, I only had to run once when it spawned 4 bug but any less than that I was able to take down and I'm not even uber geared.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

easily soloed as an arms warrior.
winterspring and silithus were cake. EPL was a little more difficult because of the stealthed units... but if you watch your combat icon, it will change before you can see them, so you can head towards the screechers, but not pull if you get attacked by the stealthed ones. Not too bad at all.
bandages between fights for speed, and I didn't even have any health pots.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

how to avoid aggro from the bugs after killing the totured souls in southwind...

I did it as a rogue otherwise i think the pattern is abt the same if u have a DoT

I used dbl deadly poisons on my blades whacked the druids or sentinels as usual but as their health whittle down and have 4-5 swats of the poison in their veins, i turn and run away... the best time to do this for a rogue is to give it a gouge that gives u 3 secs to get away real quick... the undead would die to the DoT ticks (at that rank each tick was 135) if ur unsure hit rupture when its low health as soon as the undead dies u can turn around check if there were any bugs spawned. rest kill bugs and continue. for the purpose of this quest u might need to do some adjustments

Kommentar von Allakhazam

K, I excuse my previous statement. This is though. But it is soloble, took me 4 fuels in Silithus, 1 in winsterspring and 3 in EPL, Im a 59 Lock. And btw, the druids are not that though thats lvl 55-56 mobs, the bugs that spawn is lvl 58-59. Dont use my tactic, I sumonned the void, draw two mobs senteniel and druid, killed them and when the bug spawned I had no mana or hp so I ca void and beat the bug but this takes long time and is risky I died once and as said 4 rocket fuel.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm a Holy priest with no damage gear, and I was easily able to solo the Silithus guys. I used only 3 rocket fuels (got 4 from the first, 5 from the second, and the last 3 from the third).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Quest is BS, the silithus part is retarded. I had to use 7 rocket fuels in silithus because all but ONE of the kills spawned at least 2 bugs. Five of them spawned THREE bugs. I didnt have any cases in which none spawned.
0 spawns - 0
1 spawn - 1
2 spawns - 6
3 spawns - 5

Thanks blizz.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

69, 29 all you can eat in EPL. 2 fuels.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I used 2 rocket fuels in Eastern Plaguelands. North East corner of Northdale. Placed it next to the big tree (like there's only one, but you will find it NE of the building :p) both times. There are invisible eyes in the area, but you can actually use that to your advantage. I placed my first after I had pulled the eye to the tree and beaten it halfway down. While waiting for respawns you can check out Zul'Marshar (if you're a stealther at least) and if you're as lucky as me both silver mobs are spawned at the top of the temple.

I used 2 rocket fuels in Winterspring. I placed mine in the large ruin on the lake and on the other side of that small island from the ruin.

In Silithus I just placed them inside the village where there were lots of them at the time since I had help from a hunter in our guild.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

kinda pain in the a$$ is actually silithus part for casters imho (don't expect many players having T2 on this q ;). That distiller does not run 4ever and I was able to kill just two and then gotta drink, cause of the bloody vasps spawning after druids/sentinels death.

! YOU HAVE ONLY 12 CHARGES FOR THE DISTILLER ! Actually you get 12 Goblin Rocket Fuels when taking this quest, but ONLY THE FIRST TIME!. I ran out of Fuel and it is pretty expensive or time consuming or both and when you abandon and re-take the Q you not only don't get any fuel, but as a bonus you LOSE ALL THE ECTOPLASM gained sofar aswell.

Eastern Plaguelands: 74, 50 (Broman's Mill)

Bad suggestion, I suggest:
Eastern Plaguelands: 72, 29 (Northdale)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found that Northdale was the best place to get these, but there were too incredibly frustrating things I should warn others about:

1. Watch out for the invisible mobs. I ran into town on my mount, found a good spot in between the Death Singers, placed my distiller, then 6 ghosts appeared out of nowhere and owned me.

2. If you've got DoTs, use them sparingly. The Death Singers would always use their annoying 3 second fear right when they were about to die. They'd chase me, and die outside the distiller's radius. Pissed me off something fierce.

Overall, took me my last 4 rocket fuels, when the others I had only needed 2.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just finished it then.. Did it solo too
EPL was quite simple, and Winterspring even easier.
I was prepared for the worst with Silithus, but found it to be rather easy also.
I used 3 fuels for it near the entrances to the village.
I'm a pally, so used exorcism, which helped alot.
Didnt get any bugs alot of the time, but got 3 on two occasions and decided to run instead of try to fight them..

Edited, Tue Apr 18 22:03:35 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It was pretty easy, took 4 fuel to get all 12. I think if I had had better death luck with the druids, I probably could have gotten away with 3. They kept popping 2 bugs on me, kind of annoying. Don't need to run away, just bear them down.

Try not to get into fights with 2 druids at the same time, though, that gets annoying in a hurry.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

if i hade a million dollars, i'd be rich

Kommentar von Allakhazam

for a solo priest in the silithus part, if you have extra rocket fuel, you can just kill a ghost, loot, and fear the adds and run away.

the add spawns seem random to me, when they die they can spawn 0-3 adds.

Also, if you don't want to waste rocket fuel like that, I suppose you could try pulling two and chain-shackling 1, then killing them at the same time. The most it can cost you is 6 rocket fuels with that method. Not great... but not everyone can find a group for this stuff.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My Restoration Druid had to use SEVEN of the Rocket Fuels just to get the Silithus part done.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It took my Restoration Druid another THREE to do the Winterspring one. Current total: 10, and I still have to do the Plaguelands one.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed this with ease, and with 2 Goblin Rocket Fuel to spare, from the original 8. Very simple quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Place a Distiller at coords 70,30 in Northdale EPL and pull away.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Why are people so scared of pulling 2 or 3 mobs?, Cant you as lvl 58+ solo 2-3 mobs at the time? ^^ ? Just kill them? Maybe you should playstyle if you just can handle 1 mob / fight. The spot in for example epl, is also a nice argent dawn rep grinding spot. Im not flaming, just wondering if Im running on OVERPOWER!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i just solo'd Silithus too...very easy to do as a pally...even if you aggro 2 druids...under 6seconds and 1 is dead..2nd one isn't a problem then.

right.. >.>

Kommentar von Allakhazam

how do you do this quest?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried Silithus first, since I read here it's the hardest. Soloed as a 59 Druid.

Used all but one of my rocket fuels to get the job done in Silithus. (wasted 2 not realizing I had mis-wrote coords on a sticky note I had/not figuring out what I was a'sposed to do right away) But, at least I got it done, and now the rest wil be easy, I will just need probably 2 fuels each per set of other ones.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

8 in sithilus
this is where i started... what a pain. however, i wasted some fuel and corpses, not realizing that you had to LOOT the corpse in the distiller range, not just kill it. loot, THEN run. you live, you learn... on to wintersring.

3 in winterspring
it would have been 2, expect the world crashed right after i started the distiller the second time.

4 in EP
got nasty adds twice, but otherwise not as bad as sithilus

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Big #$%^ YOU to the makers of the Silithus part, %^&*ing 3 bugs spawning after every kill @#$% this for a joke.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this q with a lvl 60 mage with good gear who AOE'ed all the buggs when i went to pull some new guys... It worked wonderfull we needed 2 ectoplasms because the 1st one was misplaced. The 2nd one i placed inside the encampement and the Ectoplasms kept on comming :p
So best thing to do is get a lock or preferable a mage to help with the AOE on the buggs it makes the q go faster and you use less goblin juice :p

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When you are doing the Winter Spring part. Go buy
Teufelselementarer Brennstab the next quest parts already so you dont have to fly there again and waste tens of minutes on travelling.

But quite easy. Soloed as blue geared 60lvl warrior. Silithus one took 3 fuels, WS took 2 Plaguelands 3 wasnt even close.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Silithus is definitely soloable, I did it as a lvl 59 feral druid without any problems at all. What makes Silithus a pain in the butt is that the adds drag out the fights for so long you have to spend a fortune in fuels. Both Winterspring and Eastern Plauglands was a piece of cake.

Not sure how many fuels I spent, but I did have to get a few of my own to complete Silithus.

Ein hervorragendes Stück Ingenieurarbeit, wenn ich das mal selbst so sagen darf! Ich fürchte allerdings, dass Ihr weit umherreisen werden müsst, um die Art schemenhafter Untoten zu finden, die wir benötigen.

Ihr müsst verstehen, dass verschiedenen Klimabedingungen Einfluss auf die spektrale Struktur der Toten haben. Die gequälten Nachtelfen in Silithus, die Geister der Hochgeborenen in Winterquell und die Geister und Banshees in den Östlichen Pestländern sollten uns mit den verschiedenen Sorten von Ektoplasma versorgen, die wir benötigen. Stellt auf jeden Fall den Destillierer in der Nähe auf, bevor Ihr sie bekämpft.
