#ALL PRIMORDIAL SARONITE GONE W FULL#

The average price for Primordial Saronite was about 5,000 gold across these 30 servers. About half the servers had one Primordial Saronite available. Of them, only 1 server had more than one Primordial Saronite on the Auction House at the time of my snapshot. I did a quick survey of 30 servers to get an idea of how much Saronite might be out there. Very few Auction Houses have much (if any) Primordial Saronite available. I don't know anyone who isn't doing their best to pick up as many Emblems of Frost as possible, and then turning surplus Emblems into Primordial Saronite. If it were a purposeful action, though, it was a pretty clever one.

I don't have the insight to know whether this was a purposeful dynamic by Blizzard to help keep PUGs full of people. That's enough to make absolutely nothing.įor this reason, level 80 alts have stormed the Dungeon Finder tool. (That's by using all of your Emblems of Frost in this fashion, we should note, as well as your weekly raid quest Emblems.) In a month, then, you'll be able to pick up 3 Primordial Saronite.

You can pick up 19 Emblems of Frost a week. Without any raid drops bolstering your supply, it's going to take at least two weeks to get each Saronite. While a few recipes don't require any Primordial Saronite, like the Iceblade Arrows, most of the Icecrown recipes require either 5 or 8 Primordial Saronite per creation. The limiting factor for most of the recipes is the same currency that you used to buy the patterns in the first place: Primordial Saronite.

That's going to make these Icecrown craftables highly valuable to exclusively 10-man raiders, but the gear will still be somewhat attractive to the 25-man raider who's trying to get caught up to a gear curve. The real advantage to all these patterns is that they provide item level 264 gear without having to do the 25-man raid content. However, in addition to the Primordial Saronite, you also need to have a certain reputation with the Ashen Verdict. You have to complete 12 random dailies in order to buy them through the Dungeon Finder, though doing the weekly raid quest will cut that time down significantly. As has been mentioned before all over the site, you pick up Primordial Saronite for the cheap-at-twice-the-price cost of 23 Emblems of Frost, or by having the Primordial Saronite drop from the 25-man Icecrown bosses. However, more importantly, whether it's worth your time and money to make the items, or simply sell the materials.Īll of the recipes from Icecrown Citadel are learned by turning in Primordial Saronite.

So, charging nobly forward, let's take a look at the Icecrown recipes, how you get them, and how good they are. There's absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that plan. That is to say, they're taking the very essence of an Old God, his very bile and blood, and turning it into weapons and armor. As thousands of screaming Alliance and thundering Horde storm the very gates of Icecrown Citadel, the Ashen Verdict is working hard to supply us all the only logical weapons and armor to fight Arthas.
