The Frozen Earth

WotLK Classic Northrend Leveling Guide

The Frozen Earth

Both Factions • Zul'Drak • Level 77 • Zim'Torga

Collect 7 Essence of the Frozen Earth from elementals at Drak'Mabwa.

Element-Tamer Dagoda at Zim'Torga [59, 57] needs 7 Essence of the Frozen Earth from Frozen Earth elementals at Drak'Mabwa [54, 47]. Drop rate is roughly 1 in 4, so expect around 25-30 kills. Always pair with Sealing the Rifts, since rift-spawned elementals also drop the essence, completing both quests in one trip.

Vikstone's Classic Expedition

Dagoda said the Heb'Drakkar attacks were getting desperate, and Vikstone realized every errand he'd run from Zim'Torga had been pulling threads from the same rope. The elementals shattered like all the others, but the pattern was starting to show.

“We captured these elementals from nearby, and I have plenty of defenders now. But, it takes a great deal of power to make them strong enough to stand up to our enemies. The frozen earth at Drak’Mabwa to the northwest have what I need to maintain our defenses. I’ll need more of their essence if I’m to keep this up.”

Quest Giver: Element-Tamer Dagoda — Zim’Torga, Zul’Drak [59.5, 56.5]

Objective: Collect 7 Essence of the Frozen Earth from Frozen Earth elementals.

Walkthrough

Head northwest from Zim’Torga to Drak’Mabwa, the water-filled crater around [54, 47]. Frozen Earth elementals roam the outer rim of the lake and surrounding area.
Kill Frozen Earth mobs (level 76-77, non-elite, ~11,000 HP) and loot their essence. The drop rate is roughly 1 in 4, so expect to kill around 25-30 elementals to collect all 7.
The elementals are immune to poison effects, and have significant nature resistance as well. Elemental shamans and assassination rogues will have a harder time here. Stick to physical damage, fire, or frost spells.
The mobs cast Ice Spikes, which can be spell-reflected for some satisfying results.

Efficiency Tips

Always pair with Sealing the Rifts. Both quests take place in the exact same area. Elemental Rifts also summon Frozen Earth adds when attacked, giving you extra chances at essence drops while sealing rifts. Doing both together means you finish in a single 10-15 minute trip.
Frozen Earth mobs spawned by Elemental Rifts also drop the essence, so you’ll make natural progress on this quest while sealing rifts.

Vikstone's War Journal

Dagoda needed essence to power her captured elemental defenders. “The frozen earth at Drak’Mabwa have what I need. I’ll need more of their essence if I’m to keep this up.”

The elementals were slow but hit hard. The Destroyer shattered them efficiently enough.

“The attacks from Jin’Alai have become more desperate after what you did to them,” Dagoda said when I returned. “Those essences should be enough to fuel my casting for quite some time.”

What I did to them, the leaders with their candy bar treasures. The trolls I scalped, the rifts I sealed, all those little pieces adding up to something the Heb’Drakkar had noticed.

Dagoda’s defenses were fueled, and the Heb’Drakkar were feeling it. One target remained worth killing in Bringing Down Heb’Jin
